Unreal Engine 3 Coming To Wii
Epic has said many times that there are no plans of porting the UE3 engine to the Wii, simply because the system is too weak to handle it. But that doesn’t stop others from trying, apparently. According to Epic’s Mark Rein (who else?), an unnamed developer is currently porting the Unreal Engine 3 to the Wii platform, despite have a lot weaker hardware than the Xbox 360 and PS3 counterparts. Rein said:
“It’s their own port, in the same way Ubisoft brought Unreal Engine 2 to the Wii [for Red Steel]. I just don’t see a big market there to bring this big hulking memory intensive engine over to a much smaller system.”
