Bethesda not interested in Wii or iPhone

The development team at Bethesda has no plans to develop for Nintendo consoles because they feel that their games are graphically and thematically suited to other formats, all this according to statements of the company’s executive producer, Todd Howard, for IndustryGamers. “The things we are doing better stick on other platforms.

When asked about the Wii, Howard said,

“From my group, which is the internal Bethesda development team, probably not. The stuff we’re doing is a better fit on the other platforms. You can never say never, but I think for the kind of games that we like to play and make, it fits the other platforms… if there’s going to be some bigger, more mature games on it, the system, for better or worse, has been moved to this demographic [younger people]. If we had an idea that we thought would really take advantage of that platform, we would do something for it. Usually, we’re thinking more in terms of graphically doing things that the other systems do. That’s what we get excited about.”

As for Facebook games, here’s Howard’s take:

“I’ve got to be honest: I don’t get it. I look at it and try to understand but for now I’ve just decided to ignore it (laughter). I think, one day, maybe I’ll figure it out, but until then, I don’t see the allure of those kinds of games. There might be a way to connect people. I think that’s always a good goal: to connect people through your game. So I’ve kind of looked into that, how we might be able to do some of those things. But as far as a game on there, I don’t know.
