Mark Rein, the vice president of Epic has recently made some statements discussing the huge potential of the Nintendo Wii U. At the GDC conference last week, Rein mentioned that he thinks the Wii U will do very well.
He described it as an eye-opener for many. This notion with the fact that Nintendo is already a trusted brand will help the console sell. A HD Wii, as he described it, that does much more than a normal Wii.
Rein then went on and spoke about about Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 technology. The Unreal Engine is supposed to play a big role in many of the Wii U’s first games.
Rein then went onto discuss the Unreal Engine in comparison to the Zelda Wii U demo from E3 of last year.
“Do you remember the Zelda demo they had on it? Would you not buy a Wii U just to play that? Of course you would,” Rein said. “That’s what Nintendo is all about. Their hardware is the software delivery service for their great content. That Zelda demo was gorgeous and we can do even more than that with Unreal Engine 3. I think it will do great.”
So what do you think? Are you excited to see what could be done on the Wii U? Think it can get much better than the Zelda Wii U demo?
