Bethesda Isn’t Sold On Wii U Yet

Bethesda’s PR and marketing VP Pete Hines has revealed that the firm isn’t completely sold on Wii U at the moment. Hines says that the company’s approach is to put their games on as many formats as possible, but Wii and Wii U haven’t fitted into their plans.

“Our approach has been to put our games out on all of the platforms that will support them.”

“So far the Wii hasn’t fitted into that. Whether Wii U does down the road is TBD.”

    1. I’d like to thank Jesus, God, star stuff and space dust, and my mother and father for this moment.

      Without all of them, I’d never would have been born to achieve this goal in my life.

      I’d also like to thank Al Gore for inventing the Internet, and Bill Gates for the Windows OS.

      1. 1. you are just sad if your goal is to be “first” on this website.
        2. Jesus doesn’t exist.
        3. God doesn’t exist.
        4. You Mother and Father must be ashamed of you.
        5. Al Gore didn’t invent the Internet.

        1. Ammmm…you are wro.ghesus is real and God too…if you dont belive then keeo it to your self but dont say tgey are not real look to the fact in history not the bible to see all the proof to show jesus was an is real and all what the bible prexict that it been hapening in the years am not a religius guy but i know Jesus and Gid are more than real

      2. @dweebo, lol I needed that!! To funny!! Understand people it not that serious all u who r losing their collective cool over this statement, and him saying “first” need to take a strong look at their life. It was funny to me lol

    2. Well by logic you aren’t first, for you see I commented at the same time as you meaning that you aren’t the only one who is first.

      1. Yes, because there is no such thing as ”seconds”.
        Nope, same minute reply (apparently) = exact same time.

        By logic: you are an idiot.

    1. “There’s still these few bugs like Dragons flying backwards and Horses climbing vertical surfaces we’ve not figured solutions to yet, but once they’re ironed out, we’ll be ready to release on Wii U.”

  1. i would love to see fallout on the wii u maybe using the wii u tablet as the pip boy or using it to aim down a sniper scope or to scan the ground for objects would be cool. i cant really see the elder scrolls series working all that well on wii u though

          1. Cumming from a dick in the booty Sony drone who’s always in denial. Most of the Wii U games are better than a 14 year old game. Shut the fuck up, drone. You have absolutely no idea about video games whatsoever.

      1. Wow. I seriously did not think you could reach a new level of stupidity and ignorance. Its just sad. Comparing a racing game, to a 2D platformer. Mario Kart on the 3DS looks better than CTR. Its not even worth the arguement, just put down that bottle bleach, and sit down and be queit till mummy gets home

      1. “Hypocrisy at its finest” Please tell me how im a hypocrite? the only hypocrite here is you because you are calling me a fanboy when you are are one yourself ,dont use words that you dont know the meaning of, kid.

        1. Well a good example is here:

          “Out dated hardware”

          Then a few posts down you say that guy in the video

          “, LOL he says the the wii u has more he-dram even though he dosnt even know what the spec are LMFAO ;)”

          My question is to you: can you tell me the exact specs of the system? I’ll cut you some slack, can you link me a site where it shows the exact confirmed specs?

          1. You dont need to , it matters on how the games look and so far NO games look better than ps3 and 360 ..ZombiU dosnt even look better than killzone 2 and that was a ps3 LAUNCH GAME.

            1. So these are launch titles, I don’t remember GUN looking anything like red dead redemption when it was a launch title for 360, amped 3 didn’t look any much better then 2 same with cod 2.

              Plus I know I don’t need to see the specs, you asked how you were a hypocrite and I just presented evidence to show that you are and you now can’t deny or prove that you aren’t.

              And so what if zombiu looks like it is, doesn’t mean there is something wrong with the hardware, my $4000 pc can play crysis 1 with lowest settings and resolution and looks worse then a console game, does that mean my of specs are bad?

            2. Why do you care? Why does the wii u affect your life so much that you must constantly troll and annoy ppl on a nintendo blog website?

      1. Lol drtre ? you seriously think that fanboy is credible? most of the time he dosnt even know what he is talking about , LOL he says the the wii u has more he-dram even though he dosnt even know what the spec are LMFAO ;)

          1. You gotta come up with a better insult.
            There are a lot of gay people, and 99% of them are VERY nice people. I’m friends with at least two on this site.

            “Gay” just isn’t a good insult anymore.

            Here are Bowser recommended insults:
            (R – rated)
            1.) Fucktard
            2.) Mother-fucker
            3.) ignorant, arrogant moron
            4.) Just bug the sgit out of the troll by acting silly.
            5.) stomp his skull and breath a fireball up his ass.

            But GAY is not an insult anymore!! :)

            1. They are very nice people to you because they probably wanna bang you. If I was trying to bang a chick I’d do the same thing I’d be a straight up gentleman cause eventually she’ll hand it over. I’m Miyamoto Son! I’m a muthafuckin’ pimp bitch!

  2. Nobody wants their broken games, PS3 must not have fit in their plans either. Wii sold over 100 million without any Bethesda games. Why wouldn’t a developer want to develop games for the most sold system?

      1. the other 2 consoles could barely handle the games either. :P

        Bethesda must lrn2console better this coming gen, otherwise they’ll just burn all of their customer goodwill – Skyrim kinda showed how dismal their current support really is, for the most part.

  3. Wow this is bullshit… I had high hopes for wii u but its getting more dissapointing within each passing day but at least they said tbd so there is still hope…sigh….

  4. Too bad for them. They’ll come around to the Wii U eventually. They always do. That’s a general statement, not directed at Bethesda specifically. Leave luck to heaven.

  5. I love Bethesda games… The only peeve I have with their elder scrolls and fallout series is having to go to the menu screen to look at the map or select an item or such… It ruins the experience of feeling like you’re in the game… It’s to bad there’s no controller with its own screen like device to help bypass this… To… Bad v.v

        1. I never said about putting it on the WiiU, I have these games on pc and it’s well capable of playing these games highest settings without any trouble, I’m just saying is with my experience their games have the most bugs, and from what I have heard about skyrim on ps3, it was unplayable and now they can’t bring the latest dlc or something along those lines to ps3 for some reason concerning the bugs in the game (probably due to hardware) and at the moment has no fix for the solution.

          Long story short, fallout is my one of my favorite series but I have noticed that Bethesda games are more bug filled then everything else, this is just me though.

  6. Ahhhh i see why they are wary, you see, it’s already confirmed that WiiU has more ram then current consoles which is a big reason why at least skyrim is/was so buggy, therefor if they release it on a console with more ram then obviously their games won’t be the bugfest they are known, and we all don’t want that do we?

    Bottleneck ram consoles = ok
    New console with more ram = not sure if good

    ( yes I know that they might be talking about install base and such but a lot of Nintendo fans are multi console owners and would prefer it on their favoured system).

        1. Erm, it may be just as easy but what they’re saying is that the development methods they’ve used on previous games are incompatible. Meaning that if future games are made differently, they may come to Wii U but current games won’t be ported.

    1. Hmm if this is true then WiiU will at least have a 2 year head start on install base, if Nintendo pulls all the right strings with the WiiU then can get a lead on the competition like they do with the 3ds.

    2. Those are just rumors about a rumor of a rumored system with a rumored released date. Hardly justifyable in any situation whatsoever.

      And I dont even like xbox.

  7. Would like their games on Wii U. When Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls VI come around, I hope they build them on Wii U compatible tech, this is disappointing.

  8. Well, they didn’t say never I guess. I’m looking forward to when the console is past this “early 360 phase” (hopefully you know what I mean).

  9. Given their track record in the last generation on consoles…this is actually relatively understandable. Skyrim on the consoles kinda didn’t have the smoothest ride, afterall, and many of their other titles on PS3/Xbox weren’t perfect either…frankly, Bethesda are better off supporting PC’s where the system is more open and handleable.

  10. Another devolper not sure about wii u i think this will be like wii all over again i will wait a year to see if i buy the wii u or not untill then i play with my 3ds and ps3

    1. At this point, we know it’s NOT the best of the three, and there’s no actual getting around that…it’s a good second console as something alternative to play, but it’s not going to cut it as a SOLE console to own if you want a wider range of gaming experiences.

      However, It’s a good system concept – the specs are just clearly the major issue as they were before, and it’s simply a shame that Nintendo clearly aren’t aware of this fact.

      I’m still gettin’ one, though.

  11. Sadly, 3rd parties don’t sell too great on Nintendo platforms. To cut around that, why not support the system early when there’s not too much competition? The whole ‘we’ll wait to see how it does’ approach is stupid. Did Wii owners appreciate Xenoblade? Of course! Would it have sold even more by now if it were a launch title? How could it not?

  12. They still aint figured out how to make games work on the PS3 so it’s not such a huge loss. Even if I would love to see Fallout on it.
