Will Epic have a good excuse for not porting UE3 to new nintendo console?

What will Epic's excuse be this time? Here's hoping they actually do give the support to the new system, but I dont feel that they will :(

Thoughts?

How am I supposed to know? "It sucks :("

I don't really care.

It would be good if they had it one Nintendo consoles so other developers can have a chance to use it.

But I'm not really a fan of Epic's games.

who cares, cliffy B can take his engine and shove it.

Epic will not need an excuse because UE will obviously be available for the next Ninty console.

Epic is a business, not a fanboy farm. It made sense to a certain extent to skip over the Wii, but unless Nintendo somehow releases the same level hardware AGAIN, then no, this will not be an issue.

To be honest they've had pretty good excuses so far, there's no way it would work on the Wii without cutting out half of the features that make it so great, and the same goes for the 3DS, though I'm sure they could adapt a 3DS version and still keep most of the features, it hardly seems worth it because I think Epic feel like they won't make much money from licensing out the software they way they can with the 360/PS3 and the iOS version. They always said they'd put it on a Nintendo console when they could, and I think if the specs people have said are right, then if they don't put it on Wii 2, a lot of developers will be pissed because they can't port their games (and that's a lot of great games to miss out on) from 360/PS3.bobbetybob

I really hope Nintendo deliver with the specs so that UE3 and future itterations are compatible with the system. Some of my fave games use the UE.

I believe some of them when they say that Cliffy B. is a fan of a lot of Nintendo's games mainly the Zelda series.Nintendo_Ownes7

If Ninty has to settle on the UE3 for its next console, they're going to be in a world of hurt when the Xbox and PS4 are running UE4. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

I dunno... "nintendo is the kiddy"??

Because they've moved onto the UE4?foxhound_fox

Should have mentioned future versions of the engine aswell.

Being that the new nintendo is a contiuation of Generation 7 by hardware standards, its no need for them to invest in older tech.

They don't need an "excuse". If the hardware is capable of running it and it gets enough sales, they'll make a version.locopatho

Are you really accusing Epic of being fanboys. They had a very good reason for not putting it on Wii, it's an extremely underpowered device for its time. It's not like 360 or PS3 where they can just port it over, everything for Wii has to be downgraded or built from the ground up. PS4 and Xbox 361 will probably be much more powerful than Wii 2 so maybe Nintendo will miss out again.BigBoss255

Ye ok they have good reason not to port to wii, but what about 3ds? Mark Rein said "as soon as Nintendo release hardware capable of running our engine well, we'll be on it like water on fish" or something along those lines.

Ubisoft has got the engine up and running on 3ds apperantly, so why not Epic??

As in all of the developers that epic have licensed it out to or, the millions and millions of people that have bought games made using the UE's? Most people don't hate the UE.

Unreal Engine gave us Bioshock, Gears, Mirror's Edge, Mass Effect, Arkham Asylum, etc, and is used by tons of devs... who hates it again!?

if iOS has it, i'm sure the wii could have it...savagetwinkie

You betcha!

If all those Project Cafe rumours are to be believed and Nintendo bends over to third parties, they'll have another Gamecube in their hands. Epic won't port the UE3/UE4/UE-X because Project Cafe is too brown/smells weird/looks funny and other third parties will ditch it because Nintendo doesn't pay for their ads and distribution or something equally idiotic.
