id Software has recently stated that they will not be porting over their newest game, Rage, onto the Wii. President Todd Hollenshead was quoted for saying,
“For Rage, as much as Nintendo might not like to hear this, id Tech 5 is too much tech for the Wii. We’re not doing a crappy version of Rage on the Wii. If you play the PC, the PS3, the 360 version, you get all of it. All the media’s the same. We didn’t make the crippled version that somebody wishes they had some other platform to play on.”
As for the Wii U, they said they look interested but have yet to see how their newest tech fits into it.
This doesn’t really come as a surprised to me. John Carmack usually puts his engine and tech so far in advance that there is no way that it would have worked on the Wii.
