That's according to Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli, who revealed in a CVG interview that a "respected developer" is working on a CryEngine 3 title for the Nintendo platform.
"My opinion of the Wii U is very high," he said. "It's just that we didn't have a business case unfortunately that justifies us making a game for it.

"It doesn't mean that CryEngine 3 doesn't run on Wii U - it actually runs beautifully. In fact, there actually is a game in development from a respected developer that we will be announcing. I've seen the game running and it looks really great."

Yerli estimated that the Wii U hardware is "minimum on par with the current generation."

"From my perspective I do not understand the public's concerns that the Wii U is weaker than PS3 and 360," he said. "That I cannot see. From my perspective the Wii U is minimum as powerful as Xbox 360."

In the same interview the Crytek boss claimed his studio's technology is already "way beyond" next-gen console specifications.

As powerful as the xbox360? Why use 2006 technology? I will not settle for less but for the best sorry. But because I love nintendo I will purchase the WII U.

A little late for as powerful as the Xbox 360, it came out about 7 years ago, they should be trying to stay one step ahead and not catching up with all of the other companies.

Well to be fair, it is a hand held console so it's not going to be as powerful as the 2013/14 consoles from Sony and M$
