With the recent announcement from EA about their new Frostbite engine not cohesively working with the Wii U, and their appearance of dropping Nintendo all together, there’s another third-party publisher that’s joined the ranks–Avalanche Software. Forecasting ahead, Avalanche Software sees that there is more to gain on preparing themselves for the more powerful PS4 and upcoming new Xbox and that there is little to be said with the Wii U.
Cristofer Sundberg, Avalanche’s chief creative officer, didn’t hold back when he revealed that Avalanche Software had no plans for the Wii U because of its disappointing launch problems. Sundberg said,
“We actually had some development kits that just collected dust. It’s a little sad, because we wanted to do something [with the console]. I think it is a cool platform, but right now its just not for us.“
Nintendo is hoping to garner more third party support at its small, hands-on gathering for the media at their booth, which will open about an hour before the E3 convention officially begins.
