EA Will Support the Wii U, “Holding Fire” on Two Game Announcements

June 13, 2012 by Alex Co

EA claims they have two game announcements for the Wii U that will be revealed this summer.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one disappointed by the lack of third-party support shown for the Wii U at this year's E3. While that, in itself, should be worrying, it's not as worrying as seeing EA — one of the world's biggest publishers — only have one game on Nintendo's sizzle reel. 

That game I'm referring to is Mass Effect 3. Yep, it's a port. Nintendo released Mass Effect 3's Wii U Trailer and it's very underwhelming (nothing new at all is shown).

Now that we have all that out of the way, EA has answered concerns that they're neglecting Nintendo's upcoming console. 

Speaking to CVG, EA's Games Label president Frank Gibeau admits that they're "holding fire" on a couple of Wii U announcements…that and they're going to have a bigger line-up for the Wii U compared to the Wii.

It is the first next-generation platform coming out so we're really supporting it.

Just looking at E3 and where we're at, we wanted to hold our fire a little bit on a couple of the other games that we're working on. We'll have more announcements this summer on the rest of the Wii U line-up.
 
Glad to hear that, Gibeau! Hopefully, these announcements won't just be Madden Wii U, FIFA Wii U and other ports. I'm kinda assuming we'll see their annualized franchises on NIntendo's machine, but let's hope they have an ace or two up their sleeve, no?
 
What game would you like EA to port on the Wii U or would you rather they build a new franchise for it to take advantage of the Wii U's tablet controller?
