No official plans have been made, but Epic is very interested on developing for Wii U.

"We haven't made an official announcement about that platform," said Epic Games president Mike Capps. "And while we loved the Wii, it just wasn't a fit to make a game that would go across Xbox 360, PS3 and the Wii. It just wasn't possible. So going forward, we're working with those folks and we're very interested in the Wii U."

"We find that the best way to support a platform is to be making a game for it and we don't currently have a game in development for that platform," he added. "I want to make sure that I can ship a game on it myself, which is why we have very clear public support of PS3, Xbox 360, PC and iPhone but not as clear when it comes to Android or Wii U."

Several games already announced for Wii U will be running on the Unreal Engine 3, and we've heard rumblings that the console will be able to support future versions of the engine.

"It opens up some doors that weren't open before on current generation consoles because it is going to be a powerful box. I'm sure [Epic VP] Mark Rein would love anyone who's interested to know how official our support is to get in touch with him."

Epic is aware that they've neglected the Unreal franchise. Could we see a new entry for Wii U?
