"No Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe on Wii Because of Unreal Engine 3"
Posted by: Snake  - 05-05-2008 05:42 AM - Replies (7)
When rumours first started to flood the Internet about a game called 'Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe', the reaction wasn't exactly overwhelming. It just seemed as if no one really cared. We also heard that the game wouldn't be present on Wii, even that didn't start a massive fuss. Well not everyone was too happy, including a member over at Wii.Kombo:

"Dear Epic,

I tend to think we, the gaming populace, have been fairly civil today. Sure, there've been a few incensed comments about your Wii-bashing (and subsequent coining of the term "wiggling" in relation to the Wii -- thanks for that), and your lack of a Gears of War 2 demo, but for the most part, we've taken things in stride, shoulders slack and face contorted into a picture of nonchalance. But guys, you've crossed the line this time. Through a series of decisions concerning the Unreal Engine 3's non-presence on the Wii, you unintentionally and indirectly diffused any hopes we had for a Wii version of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. What's next, huh? You gonna kick sand in our faces? Punch a few toddlers? steal someone's Unreal Tournament 3 map (citation needed)?

Look, cynicism aside, Epic, you've done us wrong. A gore-less, non-spine-rending Mortal Kombat, replete with a smattering of freshly-inked comic book heroes seems like a perfect match for the Wii -- a console that, let's face it, skews younger than its next-gen competition. Plus, Midway (MK vs. DC's developer) is all for creating a Wii version of the game; they just need your toolset. Hope still breathes, though its grasp on life is tenuous at best. All we request is that you port the Unreal Engine 3 to the Wii. If you grant us this simple request, Midway will send MK vs. DC charging through the Wii's formerly un-breachable walls, and we will return your cat happily wrap our hands around the fruits of their labor.

Your friends,
The gaming populace."

Despite this guy overreacting slightly, he has a point. Since the newest version of the Unreal Engine doesn't officially exist for the Wii, Developers thought it would be too challenging to bring Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe to Nintendo's little white box. Who's to blame? Well no one specifically. If Nintendo put more power into the Wii it would be capable of using the latest version of the Unreal Engine, but if Epic Games were bothered to make an Engine compatible with Wii then we could have chance to play it. Does anyone care about this title to begin with?
