Chances are that we won’t be seeing any games from Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios on the Wii U anytime soon.
In an interview with Norwegian site PressFire, founder Christofer Sundberg said that his only dealings with the console is through Skylanders Giants, which his children play. Although Avalanche does have a Wii U dev kit in its possession, it’s collecting dust, and the company doesn’t have any Wii U plans. The console’s install base is too small, according to Sundberg.
Sundberg also noted that it has been difficult to get in touch with and cooperate with Nintendo. It was only through Avalanche’s publisher that the studio was able to get through.
Sundberg finished by giving some advice to Nintendo: reach out to developers like Sony.
“I think Nintendo has much to gain by going the same way as Sony, by stretching out a hand to the developers so as to include even more, says Sundberg. If it happened, would be developing felt more enthusiasm, and perhaps had wanted to make something cool and good. In Nintendo’s case, it could have acted on the use of GamePad controller for the Wii U. – roughly translated Sundberg quote”
