Peter Molyneux isn’t ruling out Godus for Wii U, going so far as to say that it’s a “possibility”. However, this would only happen “if you tweak that very clumsy device,” he told Develop. Molyneux also mentioned to the site that he feels that “Wii U very awkward.”

Here’s Molyneux’s full statement about Wii U:

I think the Wii U, if you tweak that very clumsy device, is a possibility but I find Wii U very awkward.
