Beamdog: No Baldur's Gate for Wii U, bad Nintendo experience to blame
Taking to Twitter once again, Beamdog's Trent Oster has made it painfully clear that Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition will not be ported to the Wii U. When asked about the possibility, Oster told a fan that "we don't do Nintendo development," adding that Beamdog's "previous experience with Nintendo was enough to ensure there will not be another [Nintendo project]."
Oster's issues with Nintendo extend from Beamdog's WiiWare port of MDK 2. A6,000 unit sales requirement before a developer receives payment – combined with a drawn-out certification process – soured Oster's feelings for WiiWare. He also noted that the Wii's "exceptionally low attach rate" is "bad for devs" and essentially makes the Wii "a toy."
We contacted Oster for clarification on Beamdog's experience with Nintendo. "It's pretty simple," he said.
