This information comes from Rovio’s vice president of franchise development Ville Heijari…
“We really haven’t looked into the Wii U specifically yet – we haven’t announced anything for Nintendo consoles yet. But if you look at the control methods, if you look at the Wii U, I mean that’s a really, really natural match, so obviously we’re very interested in developing there as well.
“[The 3DS is] a really really interesting platform. Many people doomed it outright as it being somehow gimmicky, but obviously the same thing as with the Wii U: if you look at the 3DS, Angry Birds games would make a perfect match there.”
Hmmm… unless I’m going crazy, I thought that Angry Birds was already confirmed for WiiWare and 3DS. Since the game is supposedly coming to Nintendo’s current home console, I don’t see why it couldn’t end up on Wii U as well.
Regardless of how Naughty Dog feels about Wii U, the studio wouldn’t develop any games for the platform. That’s because they’re a Sony subsidiary. But Naughty Dog’s game director Justin Richmond was asked to share some thoughts about the console nonetheless.
Unlike most outside companies, Richmond doesn’t completely sold on Wii U is offering – at least not yet. He feels that although the idea behind the system “is very, very cool”, Richmond said that “there’s nothing that the Wii U has that the Vita and PS3 doesn’t.”
“To be honest with you, the idea of it is very, very cool. But there’s nothing that the Wii U has that the Vita and PS3 doesn’t. You know, it’s an interesting piece of technology, and I’m interested to see how people use it. I’m not completely sold yet. That the screen isn’t multi-touch, that’s a little weird. It seems there are some very strange holes in it, but to be fair, last time I was sceptical of the original Wii, and look at how that did. I’m sure that he games they make for Wii U will be amazing.
