GN Version 3.1

A portion of an EDGE interview with Epic’s Mark Rein…

E: Did you make any assumptions about Nintendo’s new hardware before Wii U was announced? Did it tally?

MR: Oh, wow. A really sticky situation. We were in the enviable position of not having to make assumptions, let’s just say that. I’m pretty impressed with the Wii U. It looks like a great device and I think it’ll do really well.

Well, now we know that this all has to do with the Unreal Engine 3. I wonder just how far in advance Epic knew. Thanks to Kevin for the heads up!
