Epic doesn't think their EA Partner game would work with Wii crowd

As soon as we saw the EA/Epic partner deal yesterday, we knew the game wasn’t going to hit Wii. The first bit of information released confirmed the platforms, and Wii wasn’t one of them. Now, Epic rubs a little salt in the wound with their further statements on the game. Check out this snippet from a Kotaku article…

And we won’t have to worry about some watered-down version on the Wii. (Michael Capps, President of Epic Games) is pretty sure this new game won’t appeal to “that crowd” and that the best way to make a game that works on multiple platforms is to build a super-awesome story, find a badass hero and then work with the system particulars to deliver tailored experiences.

Yes…that crowd…the crowd of over 20 million, with a nice mix of expanded audience and core gamers. Nope, none of us want a ’super-awesome story’. That’s alright though, I’ll stay calm. I think we got the better end of the deal with Suda51 and Mikami anyway…
