WiiU Misses Out on Unreal Engine 4 Orlando V March 30, 2013 Consoles, Wii U This week at GDC Nintendo took another blow. While Epic Games showed off their Unreal Engine 4 Kotaku asked if it will be available on the Wii U to which Mark Rein said no and gave explanation. His quick explanation was that Unreal Engine 4 is made for the next generation consoles. Since Wii U is a current generation console it will not support Unreal engine 4 only Unreal Engine 3. Games made for the Unreal Engine 3 will still be available for the Wii U but not next gen games. Since we are starting to make the move to next gen consoles and games for them do you think this will cut the Wii U’s life-span? Leave a comment below! source:Kotaku
