BioShock Developer Irrational Has No Plans for a Wii U Game

We know Irrational Games is at work on both BioShock Infinite and an all-new, "core" BioShock game for Vita. Beyond that, you could be forgiven for believing Ken Levine and company are also developing something for Wii U. After all, the third-party sizzle reel Nintendo showed at E3 (which was later revealed to be showcasing games running on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, not Wii U) was prefaced by a variety of prominent industry members talking about Wii U and its controller.

Among them was Irrational's Ken Levine, who said in the video, "A full console experience that's getting streamed... my wife'll be asleep and I put in headphones and play a full hardcore console gaming experience in bed on this smaller screen -- that's a really revolutionary thing for me as a gamer." After several Wii U games were rattled off, like Batman: Arkham City, Tekken, Assassin's Creed, and Ghost Recon: Online, another clip of Levine was played in which he said, "It seems like Nintendo has sort of heard the voices of the hardcore gamer."

He never explicitly talks about developing software for Wii U, and there's a good reason for that. Levine has clarified that Irrational isn't working on any games for Wii U right now.
