Remember way back over a year ago when Bethesda was considering developing an iPhone game? No? Well it doesn’t really matter anyway, because speaking to Industry Gamers, Bethesda’s Todd Howard now says the internal team behind Oblivion and Fallout 3 currently has no plans — or much interest — in developing iPhone games, nor Wii and Facebook games for that matter.

“From my group, which is the internal Bethesda development team, probably not,” Howard said in response to whether there’s any consideration for Wii development. “The stuff we’re doing is a better fit on the other platforms. You can never say never, but I think for the kind of games that we like to play and make, it fits the other platforms.”

And as for the once-considered iPhone development, Howard says those plans changed some time after Bethesda parent company ZeniMax acquired id Software last year. “Initially, we were like, ‘OK, we’re going to do something; we have a really cool design for a game,’” Howard explained. “Once the id thing came about, they were doing enough mobile stuff that I kind of felt, ‘OK, they’re doing some really good stuff right now; let’s see how that market goes before I start putting my own time or other people’s time into something that, at the end of the day, might be a distraction from the bigger game that we need to be making.’”
