Techland says it would need to rework the engine to get Dead Island: Riptide running on Nintendo's Wii U.
Current-gen open-world FPS won't be coming to Wii U, developer Techland has said.
, creative producer Alexander Toplansky said the team would had to have either rebuilt the engine to work on Nintendo's latest hardware or simply ported the game. "One of the opportunities we had for Riptide was to continue the development of the engine, and really improve it and make a lot of refinements," said Toplansky.
"The things that are required to bring something to a new platform, you need to either really get to be integrating it deep into the engine, or you've got to [do] a port."
"Neither one of those was a satisfactory outcome for us, so we decided to do what we got platform-wise and just make sure that we can deliver the best experience we can."
Toplansky also confirmed that the studio wasn't actively planning to support the Wii U in the future, but wouldn't rule out the idea completely. "It's not something I would categorically rule out, but it's not something that's planned," he said.
Dead Island: Riptide is being released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on April 26 in Europe, and on April 23 in North America.
, Deep Silver parent company Koch Media announced in February.
"While others focus on ever-increasing development budgets and driving brand messages via ballooning marketing expenditures, Deep Silver stands for hitting the zeitgeist, innovation and fresh gameplay," said Koch Media CEO Klemens Kundratitz at the time.

GC writes - Dead Island: Riptide. The more we say it, the more we think about how nicely it rolls off of the tongue. Youd find it hard to find someone who has never heard of Deep Silvers take on a zombie epidemic game. If you didnt see the first trailer for Dead Island when the game was announced, then the rock you were living under has worse reception than we first assumed. Techland and publisher Deep Silver are bringing us back into the Action/RPG world on a new island named Palanai, with just as many zombies. This is Dead Island: Riptide.
