BioShock dev has “no plans” to develop for Wii U

12 July 2011

If you’ve been spending your nights dreaming of playing the next BioShock game on the Wii U, I have some bad news for you – Irrational Games’ Ken Levine has officially nixed that idea.

“Just to be clear, there are no plans. I’m not saying it can’t happen, but we have no plans to do any games for that platform,” he tells IGN.

“We’re now getting to a place with Vita and what Nintendo’s doing where that’s not necessarily going to be the case, where you can play full-on hardcore games in bed with the lights out while your wife’s asleep. I like that a lot. That means a lot to me,” he explains. “On the airplane? That means a lot to me as a core gamer, that you’ve got two sticks.

“That’s so important to me. The fact that the Wii U has got two sticks… I feel it’s like… It’s a great year for the core coming back and saying, ‘okay, have your touch screens, have your motion control, we’ll try to make that work, and if you can pull that off it’ll be really good.’”

But just not good enough for Levine, apparently.
