Supported platforms list

Wondering if "Linux" should really be in the supported platforms list. The UDK specifically states that it does not support Linux, and the only Unreal Engine 3 game to have a Linux port even started on it (Unreal Tournament 3), the Linux port was never released and has been cancelled. Therefore, I see no evidence of actual Linux support. To that end, I see no evidence of Wii U, Adobe Flash, Playstation Vita, or Android support either. Are people just adding platforms they wish/think will be supported in the future? 74.106.78.253 (talk) 01:25, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

UDK and Unreal Engine 3 are not the same thing:

1. Unreal Engine 3. http://www.unrealengine.com/platforms/ - official list of all supported platforms. Any platform that not listed there should be deleted.

2. UDK. Development tools runs only on Windows, but you can build applications for Windows, iOS and OS X.

I guess both Unreal Engine 3 and UDK provide development tools only for Windows, but can build applications for multiple platforms.Cre-ker (talk) 16:21, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. I removed Linux and Wii U from the platform list on the article, since they're not on the site you linked, and I can see no other proof of actual support. I mostly wanted to correct this because a game developer friend of mine became confused and thought that he could develop Linux games using the Unreal Engine, which doesn't seem possible at the moment. 74.106.85.55 (talk) 23:43, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wii U support

May be we should wait until Wii U is properly announced? At this moment Wii U is just a brand as Nintendo didn't shared specs, photos, nothing. Only speculation and some photos of the strange box that can be just a prototype of the Wii U. Even Nintendo's official site doesn't have Wii U page. More over, there is no evidence on the Unreal Engine's official site that Wii U is supported. The only thing that confirms this is the GDC 2012 video of the UE3.
