Why no Destiny for the Wii U
To my understanding, the Wii U is similar in capabilities to the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Why is Destiny being released for those consoles, but not the Wii U?

It can easily handle Destiny It has a IBM Power 7 CPU vs Power 4, and a modern AMD GPGPU vs junk developed half a decade ago. 3,398,754 Wii U's have been sold to date, and another 37,304 are being sold are sold each week. Below are links to credible sources of information. http://www.vgchartz.com/charts/weekly.php?reg=date=41497 http://www.zeldainformer.com/news/developers-have-it-wrong-the-wii-u-is-powerful-its-just-next-generation-pow

1 ReplyTrying to give a serious answer I know Nintendo to be brand that reaches out to a younger audience as opposed to Sony and Microsoft. So I can't imagine Nintendo even wanting the IP. And on a personal note after playing the alpha I don't believe there's anyway the control scheme would work with wii u controllers

4 RepliesEdited by Submit2MyWill: 8/28/2013 1:11:59 AMThe Wii U is one giant abortion of a console. Nintendo is determined to make mallcore consoles and drive all of their IP down the crapper. But seriously, I think the playerbase of Wii U is so small, and it would be more difficult to port the game to it than for Xbox 360 and PS3.

I'm asking the same thing but I want it on the dreamcast

Edited by Kichiro: 7/9/2014 11:44:18 PMThere isn't enough people on the system, destiny needs lots of people to play for it to be at its best, bungie wants nothing but the best for this game, and activision wants money, I don't think they would even make a profit for them to port it over, besides if Bungie had time for that they would just make a PC port.

1 ReplyBecause Bungie don't have the manpower to develop for that many consoles at once. They've gone from only making one version of a game, to making four different versions. That's also the reason why there won't be a PC version within the foreseeable future. Although Bungie employees has been slightly optimistic about a PC version in interviews, and said they just don't have the time. So we might get a PC port later. I don't believe anyone's asked them about a Wii U version, though.

1 ReplyBecause it would never run fast enough

1 ReplyBecause wii u can't process that much next gen

2 RepliesThe Wii U is a sinking ship , no one is buying it and it would be a waste of time and money to port destiny to Wii U. Nobody I know has a wii u...how many ppl do you personally know who have wii u. It's a waste Nintendo needs to stick to the 3ds and 2ds since those ate the only things that sell.
-
1 ReplyI think Bungie wants Destiny to actually sell. They aren't going spend millions of dollars to make a port of a game on a platform that has a user base of 4 people.
-
1 ReplyBecause no one bought the wii u therefore they would get no sales of destiny
-
4 RepliesHonestly, the Wii U is a joke to consoles. It doesn't have a big player base, or selection of games. The only reason it sells is because of Nintendo exclusives. No offense if you own one, but the Wii U isn't a good envestment for developers.

1 ReplyBungie didn't want people to throw their controllers through their TVs :(

1 ReplyYour understanding is wrong. And also, Wii U sucks shit.
-
2 RepliesMy personal opinion.. The wii sucks... Nintendo I love Nintendo I have alot of their consoles and handhelds but the wii doesn't do it for me..
-
3 RepliesIf you have an xbox 360 buy it for that instead of wanting a port that wont be as good.
-
3 RepliesIll give a serious answer. The Wii U has a poor online network, severely hindering the mmo aspect. The gamepad also severely hinders the FPS UI, limiting gameplay.
-
3 RepliesI think it mainly due to the social aspect. I have a Wii U and would buy this for it in a heartbeat, but I doubt Bungie wants to gamble with with its poor 3rd party market. Also does anybody know about the Wii U Pro controllers? They're near identical to an XBox controller...
-
1 ReplyCause the network of the wii u wouldn't handle destiny

6 RepliesI personally dislike the Wii and Nintendo in general, but unlike some here, I'll provide an unbiased argument. The biggest reason in my opinion: They'd have to make it. They have not devoted anything to the Wii U, and it would be too much trouble to do it now. I don't see much profit in it, as most people who are fans of the FPS genre either don't have a Wii U, or have another platform as well as their Wii U, because the Wii U doesn't really have much of a shooter market. Yes, they would probably sell copies, but mot enough that It would be worth it. Most interested Wii U owners would just buy it for their PS4 or Xbox One in order to avoid the (for lack of a better word) dumbed-down version of the game. Now to go off on the Wii U a little bit. Sorry guys, I just have to. I really don't see how the console is still alive at this point. It relies too heavily on nostalgia, and too little changes. There is very little innovation as far as their games are concerned. In a world where we criticize the repetitive nature of yearly installments and their seemingly endless franchises, some of us continue to support games that are just re-hashes of last year's installment. That was probably really poorly worded, but hopefully I managed to get my point across. I'm starting to get tired... See you starside.

1 ReplyDude wii U is good for mario and stuff but destiny on the wii u the screen on the game would literally fry out and explode cause of the graphics

5 RepliesI hate the Wii U purely based off of my hatred for this kid in elementary school. [spoiler]I'm a junior in high school[/spoiler]

Unfortunately the trend for Nintendo has been a lack of 3rd party support.
