Notes
- During a panel at BotCon 2010, the developers of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC versions of War for Cybertron stated that they did not work on the Wii version because of the Unreal Engine 3 was not capable of running on the Wii and that they lacked the in-house facilities to develop a Wii game.
