Wii U Support[SOLVED]

Hi,

 Yes, keep hammering them so we can get access to a dev kit to finally support Wii U properly.

 Bye,

Just a note to any Wii U developers wondering if PlayMaker can simply build on Wii U.  The answer is Yes!  The full work around is posted in the Wii U developer forums, under Unity / Coding and Game Logic / PlayMaker Support. The work around is not too complex.  It is mostly deleting a few incompatible actions.

Unfortunately, enhanced support, like having super dooper Wii U custom actions made for us, is not happening because Hutong Games and Nintendo do not have a relationship yet due to various reasons.

However, maybe this is an opportunity for all of us to rise to the occasion as a Wii U / PlayMaker community.  If you have the skill and motivation, please consider making Wii U specific custom actions, and sharing within the Wii U forums.  Sadly I don't think we can share here due to NDA.  Wii U / PlayMaker developers are an awesome group, let's grow strong together.

Hi,

 Yea, too bad this doesn't go anywhere currently. I will attend Unite, if I can find a Wii U representative, I may have more luck explaining in person what we do and how we can contribute.

Bye,

This is sure a relief. I just purchased PlayMaker today and never even thought that it might not work on Wii U. So glad to hear there is a procedure to get it working. I'll be checking the Nintendo Wii U forums and giving this a try tonight. Go Wii U!

Hi,

 The result of that meeting was not really in your favor unfortunatly, so you should make some noise on your wii u forum to ask for support your wiiU development network.

 Bye,
