Estas han sido las declaraciones del presidente de Epic Games, Mike Capps. Ha comentado que ningún número de Wiis le harán desarrollar juegos para Wii, ellos van hacia adelante, no hacia atrás.
Además, dice que la Wii es como un virus: juegas con alguien a la Wii y dicen: "como mola, me voy a comprar una", se la compran y a los dos meses no juegan, pero, de mientras, ya han jugado con alguien que hace lo mismo, y así venden y venden aunque no se usen.
Epic Games’ president, Mike Capps, has once again said that the company won't ever develop a game for the Nintendo Wii. Capps was asked if there would be a point where there are too many Wiis on the market for Epic not to make a game for it. He replied “no, we go forward, not back. It makes more sense for us to invest in the next-generation tech.”

IGN: What do you think of the Wii and Nintendo's…
Capps: Pffffffffft…
IGN: (laughter) I know! I think the same thing! It's like, "Come on, why are you buying this system?!"
Capps: I know. I've got one.
IGN: Everybody does! Bring it out at parties and everyone's like, "Oh it's a Wii!"
Capps: Part of it's being cheap. I think it's a, I mean, so two things: first of all, great credit to them. The first time I played a videogame with my parents – aging myself a bit – was on Atari 2600. The next time I played a videogame with my parents, 25 years later or whatever, was Wii Tennis. So it's about bringing people together, families, Thanksgiving, all that. I think it's kind of like a weird virus because I have not yet found a reason to play with my Wii since then.
IGN: Exactly. For a real gaming experience…
Capps: Right, Zelda I really didn't enjoy on it. They back-fitted the control scheme on it, it was better on the GameCube. Mario, I wish there had been a button instead of wiggle and all that kind of ****. So I haven't played anything that I really wished hadn't been on another platform sadly enough. It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. Obviously there's a class of people who really love it and enjoy it and are getting into the games but I'm still waiting for that one game that makes me play it. Who knows, maybe Wii Fit will be it.
