Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli has revealed that Crysis 3 didn’t come to Wii U due to a lack of business support from Nintendo and EA. Yerli also revealed that they did in fact have Crysis 3 up and running on Wii U and were extremely close to releasing it. However, the game was never released due to the souring relationship between EA and Nintendo.

“We did have Crysis 3 running on the Wii U. We were very close to launching it. But there was a lack of business support between Nintendo and EA on that. Since we as a company couldn’t launch on the Wii U ourselves — we don’t have a publishing license — Crysis 3 on Wii U had to die.”

Crysis producer Mike Read has admitted that he loved the idea behind the Wii and the fact that it appealed to such a wide demographic. Read then said that he’s not entirely sure whether Wii U will reach such a wide audience as its predecessor.

“One thing I really love about the Wii, and I’m not sure Nintendo even realised this when it launched, is that the Wii’s demographic was between the age of six to 60.

I would gladly give a Wii controller to my three-year-old to play that game, but when I saw the Wii U controller I thought, I’m not sure if I’d give that to my child to play with, that’s an expensive piece of hardware.

But past that, in terms of the dual screen stuff, I personally believe it’s a bit of a novelty at this point, and if I would to have to point at anything that really moves into next gen, I think it’s cloud gaming.”
