Baldur's Gate not on Wii U

Trent Oster, former BioWare man and the founder of Beamdog (the owner of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition developer Overhaul Games), has launched a scathing attack on Nintendo.

In a series of posts on Twitter (and spotted by MCV), Oster revealed why Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition wouldn't be appearing on the Wii U, or any of Nintendo's other consoles.

Oster responded to an earlier question on Twitter by saying: "We don't do Nintendo development. Our previous experience with Nintendo was enough to ensure there will not be another."

He later elaborated: "My problems with Nintendo are: requiring 6000 unit sales before payment, a certification process that took us 9 months and a 40mb limit."

"The result is a belief that Nintendo isn't a good platform for developers. The Wii is a toy, not a console."

He then moved to clarify himself: "The reason I say the Wii is a toy is the exceptionally low attach rate. You buy a Wii, Wii sports and never buy another game. Bad for devs."
