Wii U Dev Kits Just “Collected Dust” at Avalanche Studios
Options
Just Cause dev has no plans for the console at the moment.
Independent Swedish developer Avalanche Studios has no plans to develop games for Wii U at present.
Speaking to Norweigan website Pressfire, translated by The Escapist, Avalanche founder and chief creative officer Christofer Sundberg conceded there are just too few Wii U owners for the studio to commit to the console at the moment.
“We actually had some development kits that just collected dust,” said Sundberg. “It's a bit sad, because we wanted to do something. I think it is a cool platform, but right now it's not just up to us. We want the game to reach as many as possible.”
Sundberg said that his only link to the console right now was the fact that his children are playing Skylanders Giants on it, before adding that Avalanche has always found Nintendo “difficult to reach.”
“You never quite know who to contact,” he said.
Sales for the Wii U have stalled since its launch. Despite moving 3.06 million units worldwide from launch until last December, the Wii U only managed to sell a further 390,000 units worldwide between January and March.
