Just Cause devs: Wii U dev kits “collecting dust,” no plans to develop for the console


Recommended Posts

In case it wasn’t obvious enough, Nintendo’s “next-gen” console the Wii U is having a drought of good third-party games at the moment.

Unfortunately, you can add Just Cause devs Avalanche Studios to the list of developers who aren’t making any games.

 

In an interview with Norwegian site Pressfire (translated by NeoGAF), Christofer Sundbderg, founder of Avalanche, states that not only do they have “no plans” for the Wii U, but the dev kits they have of the console is actually “collecting dust.

 

Keep in mind that the text below came from Google translate, so it might sound a bit off.

 

No. Not at the moment. My kids play “Skylanders Giants” on Wii U. It’s pretty much the only dealings I have with the console…We actually had some develop (dev kits) consoles that just collected dust. It’s a little sad, because we were supposed wanted to do something. I think it is a cool platform, but right now it’s not just up to us. We want the game to release an as wide as possible.

Wii U Missing Out on 15 Frostbite 3 Games

 

Earlier, we reported the the Frostbite 3 engine isn’t going to be ported to the Wii U. Johan Andersson had tweeted that they ran some tests with Frostbite 2 and had several problems, which in turn pushed them to decide on not supporting the Wii U for the next version of their engine. Thanks to a Frostbite 3 presentation, we now know the Wii U will be missing out on at least 15 games that are being developed running on the Frostbite 3 engine.

 

 

 

So far, here are the known games currently being developed:

  1. Battlefield 4
  2. Dragon Age 3
  3. Mass Effect 4
  4. Need For Speed 2013
  5. Visceral’s New IP
