Bethesda Says Wii U Support is Unlikely

It's a hardware thing.

None

If you enjoy the variety of open-world, fantasy and sci-fi games that Bethesda Softworks publishes, then you should know they have no plans on supporting Nintendo’s Wii U anytime soon.

At Quakecon last week Bethesda VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines told Joystiq that: "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." Games like The Elder Scrolls Online, Wolfenstein: The New Order and The Evil Within will not have Wii U support. "Will any future ones come out? I can't say for sure, in our near-term focus it's not on our radar."

Hines explains that Bethesda makes the games they want to, then fits them to the consoles that will support them, so with Nintendo’s console, "it's largely a hardware thing."

The Wii U has been taking hits lately, as lackluster sales and publishers continue to drop support for the system due to the limited user base and complications is timing cross-platform releases.
