<p>Bethesda, the company of Elder Scrolls and Fallout fame, have gone on record by saying that they have no plans in supporting Nintendo&#8217;s next generation console, the Wii U, due to &#8220;hardware&#8221; issues.</p>
<p>Speaking to Joystiq, Pete Hines, Bethesda&#8217;s marketing executive, said:<br />
<em>&#8220;It&#8217;s largely a hardware thing. [We] make the games that we want to make, on whatever platforms will support them as developed. None of the games we&#8217;ve announced are being developed for the Wii U, so it&#8217;;s guaranteed that none of those games are coming to Wii U.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Eurogamer notes after this quotation that Bethesda is currently working on Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Evil Within and The Elder Scrolls Online so it looks as if Wii U fans will not be playing any of these three games any time soon&#8230;</p>
