Elder Scrolls Online and Dishonored publisher puts decision down to technical limitations
Bethesda has admitted that it has no intention of bring its titles, such as open world adventure series Elder Scrolls, to Nintendo’s Wii U for the time being.
Speaking to Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/06/wii-u-not-on-bethesdas-short-term-radar/) at QuakeCon, the Skyrim and Dishonored publisher said the reasons for this were down to hardware limitations, and not the console’s market reach, which it has been struggling to boost for months.
“None of the game's we've announced are being developed for the Wii U, so it's guaranteed that none of those games are coming to Wii U,” said Bethesda VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines regards to the Elder Scrolls Online, Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Evil Within.
“Will any future ones come out? I can't say for sure, in our near-term focus it's not on our radar.”
Hines said that Bethesda’s intention is to “make the games that we want to make, on whatever platforms will support them as developed”.
