While I'm sure most of you would prefer your news from Valve to have something to do with Half-Life 2: Episode 3/Half-Life 3/Half-Life anything (sorry, no dice), Valve head Gabe Newell had some interesting comments regarding Nintendo's next home console today. Valve has never released any of their games on a Nintendo console, but that may soon change if Newell's words are anything to go by.

"Wii U seems to be a lot more powerful than the previous generation. It sort of fits better into the scalability in terms of graphics performance and CPU performance, so I think it'll be a lot easier for us to fit it into our scalability model," he told Joystiq, also pointing out that Valve has recently been showing more and more support for consoles. "Now it's a lot easier to look at Wii U and have it fit within that framework."

Despite the developer's previous reluctance to bring its games to Nintendo platforms, Newell also confessed that "we've always loved Nintendo." Maybe buttering up the Big N just a little bit, but it is exciting to ponder what uses Valve might find for the Wii U's unique controller.
