Fallout 4 on Wii U


Fallout 4 on Wii U
The Issue
While the Wii U may not be the most powerful console this generation, it does have a relatively large and loyal userbase, and contrary to popular belief, a large portion of these players are males aged 18-30, the target audience for a game like Fallout 4.
Hopefully, this petition will prove that I am not alone in wishing the Wii U might finally see some support from the larger, more well known developers.
In addition, I am sure that I am not the only one that can see the potential that the Wii U offers for a game like Fallout. With the Wii U gamepad, players could potentially have access to features such as; Real time pip-boy access via the gamepad, Navigating through menus faster with the touch screen, Gyroscopic support for more precise aiming, a visible map while exploring the wastes, the gamepad screen could even be used to allow the player to remain in third person on the television while looking down his iron sights or hacking a terminal on the gamepad screen.
These are just a few simple ideas off of the top of my head, and I'm sure Bethesda will be able to find much more intuitive and creative functions for the Wii U's unique features and capabilities.
Lastly, I can understand Bethesda's hesitation in porting a game to the Wii U, as it may seem 3rd party games sell poorly on the console. However, this is largely due to lazy, buggy ports of games that are years old by the time they reach the Wii U. Why would anyone buy a terrible buggy port of a game they played already years ago?
Bethesda has an opportunity to change this by releasing Fallout 4 on the Wii U, alongside its competitors the Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
There are millions of people that own and regularly play their Wii U, and are starved for good 3rd party titles, especially ones as highly anticipated as Fallout 4! I have no doubt that Wii U fans everywhere would joyfully embrace the Fallout universe if only given the oppourtunity.
