Irrational Games’ creative director Ken Levine stated in a recent interview that there are no plans to port BioShock Infinite to the Wii U system.
Levine stated in an interview with Destructoid:
“We never had any news on the Wii U. I bought one and I like it. I play games on it! But in terms of development, nothing is brewing right now.”
BioShock Infinite isn’t the only game that appears to be snubbing Nintendo’s new console for now. Borderlands 2, Metro: Last Night and even Dark Souls II are just some of the high profile video games that will not be making an appearance on the Wii U.

December 13, 2012 at 1:38 PMGlad to hear this. Lifelong Nintendo gamer, my first game was Link to the Past and I’ve always leaned in favor of Nintendo heavily: I want the Wii U to *bomb.* I want it to fail miserably to send the message to Nintendo that terrible hardware is unacceptable, especially when it doesn’t even feature standard things like a bluray drive or an internal hard drive. The Wii and 3DS were disappointing as hell, the Wii U’s the last straw. Hopefully if it bombs Nintendo will either replace it with something that isn’t disgustingly terrible or go third-party and never have to put out a crappy piece of hardware again.
Seriously, modern Nintendo feels like a bastardization of their former selves, a mere perversion. They haven’t even put out any major, great new console IPs since Pikmin from 2001, over a decade ago. Starfy, Pushmo? Disappointing. I’m not gonna continue to play rehashes of the same old crap forever just because of nostalgia, the name on the system I game on means nothing if they don’t support the ideologies and practices that made them so great to me before.
Egh, now I’m just worried about which company would replace Nintendo in the market, Google or Apple could corrupt the entire industry and I just don’t like Valve. :<
