Crysis 3 skips Wii U release for ‘lack of business drive’

Crysis 3 has been pulled from release from Nintendo's newest system, the Wii U.

 

The Wii U arrived late 2012, and is Nintendo's attempt to expand into more serious and hardcore games.  

The game’s developer, Crytek, and its CEO Cevat Yerli confirmed in an interview with Digital Spy that there wasn’t “enough business drive” to justify a release for Nintendo’s latest console.

 

“I’d love to see it on Wii U,” Yerli said. “But what I love to see and what gets done at the end of the day are two different things," he added.

 

It was speculated that some developers are starting to get skeptical and are reconsidering their releases for the Wii U, despite the console's high-capacity specs.

 

"It's a business decision between EA and Nintendo. If that business decision doesn't make sense, or seems to not make sense for them, it's... not possible for us to make it. We can't publish ourselves, and that's the bottom line," Yerli was quoted in Games Radar. 

 

GameSpot described Crysis 3 as a "first-person shooter set in 2047 New York that casts players as Prophet, a supersoldier seeking vengeance."

 

It is scheduled to come out on other consoles like Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on February 19, GameSpot reported. — With Shaira Panela / TJD, GMA News
