I doubt it just do to the timing.

As for people that are disagreeing with the people that don't want ME3 on the Wii U. It's not so much that they don't want it on there, so much as they don't want specs becoming a hindrance to the development. Ever played Dead Rising on the 360? Pretty fun game. Ever play Dead Rising on the Wii? Pretty empty game. Or how about Sonic Unleashed? Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are pretty good. The PS2 version and the Wii version are bad. Plain and simple.

I don't disagree with companies expanding their audiences by going on different consoles, but nothing is worse than seeing a bunch of inferior copies of a game just so a company can say "it's on both systems." It leaves a really sour atmosphere when you see both and makes you scratch your head and think "why bother?"

You forget we're talking about WiiU, not Wii. Wii's ports (which weren't actually ports) were terrible, but because the specs are going to be so great on WiiU, that problem no longer exists because it's actually possible to port it.

I didn't forget, but I can see where the frustration comes from. In this case though, I don't think people know the Wii U's specs which is why I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. They are rock solid. Far better than anything else Wii (haha) have seen on a console. That said, I don't see this working out super favorable for Nintendo.

The Wii (U) is an extremely dated piece of low profile hardware . No way the Unreal Engine would run on that either fast OR beautiful. This will never happen happen. Not with the current generation of dated consoles.

HAHAHAHA

You really have not the slightest clue what you are talking about. The Wii U is going to be significantly stronger then the PS3 or 360. Frankly, their tech is pretty outdated this far into the current gen. The Wii U's graphics and specs will completely outclass the current gen systems. Make no mistake, Nintendo is creating the next gen and it's graphical bar, and it's going to drag Sony and Microsoft with them whether they like it or not, because if they don't follow suit, the Wii U will blow their current systems out of the water.

actually all estimations about the wii U's power puts it around equal or slightly more powerful than the PS3 and 360. its not a significant jump in power. im not sure where you're getting that "significantly stronger" info from, but theres absolutely nothing that suggests its significantly more powerful than the current gen consoles. remember, nintendo tends to go for affordability over power. they'll keep its price down so as not to have another launch failure just like the 3DS (which you could blame on its horrible launch titles)

keep in mind sony and microsoft are working on their next gen consoles as well.  nintendo showing their hand so early could be a bad thing for them, as they sony / microsoft can easily adapt and improve over it. plus, microsoft and sony are more willing to have expensive powerhouse consoles.

with nintendos history of having poor 3rd party support im curious how well the Wii U will do outside the casual gamer market.

Mass Effect on the WiiU? Sure why not.

From a business POV it makes complete sense for a 3rd party dev to put their product on multiple platforms to maximize profits & product exposure.

Also for those who don't know--based on early reports, the WiiU is "slightly" more powerful than the PS3 & 360 and their disc format can hold about 25gb of data. So portability is a non-issue.

The only people who against this are insecure fanboys who obviously don't do research or know how how business works.

[Boiny Bunny]

It's quite likely that the Wii U will eventually see ME3 released on it, potentially ME2 with the comic as well, IMO. EA would never give up an opportunity to make money, as long as the console will be capable of running it.

[redneckwonderland]

I like the wii u, and this is the first nintendo console ive wanted since the snes.

[KamikazeShepard]

I really hope they bring this to the Wii U because everyone should have the opportunity to play Mass Effect. Sharing is caring after all.

Don't bring that abomination into this forum. The WiiU can burn...and stay clear of my Mass Effect.

The heck is your problem? The Wii is a game console, just the same as XBOX or PS. =/

Anyway, when Casey was asked about the Wii U, he seemed to hint that ME3 might get released for the Wii U. More marketting for them I suppose. Good for them.

[Davie McG]

I thought the WiiU looked pretty interesting.

Not sure how comfortable that controller would be after so many hours but the possibilities are pretty intriguing. I'd be interested to see how ME3 looks and plays on the WiiU.

As to complaining about the console it's self seems to me a tad pointless since it'll be graphically more capable than both current consoles and possess either equal or superior processing capabilities.

So if the performance on it is fine, and the games look good, and the controller adds something new and interesting... what exactly is it people are so opposed to?

If you don't want to buy it fine, don't. If anyone is seriously bothered by the fact a game that they already own is being played on a platform they don't even have then that's pretty sad.

That's not true. It's said to be roughly 50% more powerful, which is significant.

keep in mind sony and microsoft are working on their next gen consoles as well.  nintendo showing their hand so early could be a bad thing for them, as they sony / microsoft can easily adapt and improve over it. plus, microsoft and sony are more willing to have expensive powerhouse consoles.

Having an expensive power house console lost Sony around a billion dollars. It took years before the PS3 became profitable.

[shepskisaac]

Based on what I've read, Wii U seems to be as much better than PS3 as Xbox 1 was compared to PS2, at best. Which is NOT enough to make the devs go and upscale ports.

Ohh and as long as we're on topic of ME on new consoles - Vita anyone? It can easily run X360-level games and Sony took a great care to have it be easy to port games for 3rd part publishers & devs. So I say we may very likely see ME3 (and ME2 and perhaps also ME1) in late 2012 released on both Wii U and Vita. It's just pure profit for EA.

While is more powerfull what Isaac said is likely the case if they ever do port it. If you look at games that were out for both Xbox and 360 back in 2005 (or was it 6?) the difference in quality wasn't that much more significant. 

It'll be WiiU exclusives, in perhaps 2 or 3 years time, that you might see that look and play significantly better.

Edit: @IsaacShep, I don't think EA have the rights to sell the first Mass Effect game on platforms other than the Xbox.

Further Edit: Or at all, I'm sure Microsoft have the first Mass Effect as an exclusive.

Of course they can't do that at the moment. But as Casey said on Comic-Con "never say never". I'm 100% positive sooner or later EA will buy the rights back from Microsoft to ME1 and port the crap of it on everything under the sun ;P

[Boiny Bunny]

Indeed, Microsoft own the rights to ME1 on console platforms and will not be passing them up for Sony or Nintendo's benefit.

Heh, Isaac and I disagree on this.

A later port of ME3 and maybe 2, would be cool on the Wii U. I doubt they'll do Handhelds other than iOS.

The orignal Xbox and even Gamecube were much more powerful than ps2, though I'm not sure how much more powerful the Wii U will be compared to 360 and PS3 which are pretty much the same power wise.I'm sure most 3rd party games for Wii U will be ports of 360 games, Nintendo will make incredible looking games considering how good Mario Galaxy looks on the Wii.

I remember reading in a lot of places that the Wii U will be 50% more powerful than the PS3. 

[BatmanPWNS]

Well since Wii is the best selling home console of the 7th Gen (or Next Gen as they say) it would make sense if they made it for Wii U. Plus Wii U is as strong as Xbox 360 and PS3 so it's gonna be probably just as good, plus 2 screens is quite helpful.

That's really not impressive at all. The PS3 is 5 years old. According to moore's law computing power roughly double's every 2 years so if the Wii U was using state of the art technology it would be atleast 4 times as powerful as the PS3. Well ok that's a vast simplification of a rather complex issue. However if we look at from another pointo f view the grahpics card in the Wii U will be a modified ATI 4000 series. That's already two generation behind the 6000 series GPUs you can buy for your PC. The Wii U is not next generation technology by any stretch of the imagination, but as sony learned with the PS3 how powerful the hardware is doesn't matter if you can't convince the developers to make software which exploits it.

well, yes sony lost money on hardware, they made it up and more in software sales though. the reason sony and microsoft can make expensive consoles that they lose money on per unit is because they have enough 3rd party developer support that theres a very steady flow of games where they make back all that money. nintendo has had pretty horrible 3rd party support for like the last decade. but they make a profit on their hardware.

though i'd like to see the source you have for saying its 50% more powerful than the ps3/360 as im pretty in the loop about this sorta stuff and i havent seen any specs for the thing. none of the tech demos suggested it was significantly more powerful than anything else. nintendo doesnt generally care about power. i mean they could get it up there fairly easily, but again they always want to make a profit per unit rather than rely on game sales.

EA has said Its key franchises will appear on the Wii U,Make ME one of them.

Not a Wii fan, personally. I've never seen a single game on it that didn't look like an old school arcade game. I don't know diddly about WiiU, but I boycott based on principle.

Of course, I will never get into the Kinect or Move, either. Magic wands just aren't my thing.

I dont believe in the Wii U, Nintendo is already screwing the people who already got a 3DS by adding a second joystick to the system and I am one of the people. I generally support Nintendo in the handheld diversion because everything there has been great. But I believe the Wii U is going to push Nintendo into the place Sega is at right now.
