Epic further comments on lack of Unreal Engine 4 on Wii U
Epic co-founder Mark Rein has offered further insight into Unreal Engine 4’s absence on Wii U.
Speaking with IGN, Rein said:
“I just laugh at the question…Unreal Engine 4, we’re not PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or Wii U. It’s next-gen technology. That’s what we’re aiming for.”
Unreal Engine 4 isn’t in the Wii U’s future, but Rein pointed to Unreal Engine 3 as a tool that studios can use to leverage Epic’s technology on Nintendo’s console.
“The truth is, if a developer wanted to take an Unreal Engine game and put it on Wii U, they could. Unreal Engine 3 is kicking ass on Wii U. The best games on Wii U are made on our technology. What more do you want from us?”
