EA is keeping a close eye on the Wii U, won’t fully commit yet

EA has been saying good things about the Wii U here and there, and they got some games in development for the system as well. But unlike its competitor Ubisoft, EA isn’t full on board the Wii U train yet. Speaking to IGN, EA’s Cheif Financial Officer Peter Moore acknowledged the “lackluster response” Nintendo got at E3 2012, and said that the company is keeping a “very close eye on the platform”. However, Moore did confirm that EA will be bringing some of their franchises to the Wii U. So far EA has announced Mass Effect 3 and a couple of EA Sports titles for Nintendo’s new console. Moore wrapped up by saying EA learned an important lesson with last generation consoles, which was to “never underestimate Nintendo”.

EA Wii UIn a press release today, EA confirmed that it’s upcoming “Summer Showcase” will include some Wii U titles. It’s unknown if those titles are games that have already been announced, or whether it’s something new. It’s been rumored that Battlefield 3 would be coming to the Wii U ever since we saw the game in a Wii U trailer at E3 2011. For more, check out the full list of EA Wii U games.
