Capcom confirms upcoming horror action game not targeted at Nintendo's new console.
Capcom has no immediate plans to bring Resident Evil 6 to Nintendo's Wii U, the publisher confirmed to IGN recently.
"Unfortunately, [Resident Evil 6] will not be available at this time on the Wii U," producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi said. "Right now we're concentrating on the PlayStation 3 version, 360 version, and the PC version of the game."
Resident Evil 6 will deploy on October 2, more than a month ahead of its original November 20 release date. The Wii U does not yet have a release date, but Nintendo previously confirmed the new system will be out worldwide this holiday season.

Resident evil has always sold relatively well on Nintendo consoles with the exception of RE 2 on 64, which sold decently still I guess.
N64(Resident evil 2) - .5 Million
GCN: RE- 1.4M, RE0-1.3M, RE4-1.7M
Wii: REUC- 1.2M, RE4-2M, REDC-0.9M
Those Wii ones sold pretty darn well considering they were light gun spin offs and a port. Not that I want RE6 for Wii U, but this seems like a poor business decision for Capcom (unless RE6 wasn't selling too well in general)
CEO Cevat Yerli says game was running on Nintendo's new console, but lack of EA-Nintendo business drive killed the project.
