Mass Effect 3 A Wii U Launch Title

Electronic Arts confirmed Mass Effect 3 will be a launch title for the Wii U when it arrives this holiday. The port features a new control scheme to take advantage of the Wii U Gamepad.

This version also includes multiplayer, bonus download content, including the Extended Cut ending, as well as the interactive back stories for Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 where your decisions will carry over into Mass Effect 3.

  • I don't care what haters say, it's great that Nintendo recognizes the need of third party support and they're getting it. Even if it's a year old title, it shows that they're committed to being on par in the future.
  • Already got Me3 for xbox soooo.....
  • When the trees and rhinos fall, and the world runs out of reese cups, look for the small light ahead, the one that speaks in a whisper and says "Have a dollar menu".
  • I don't understand why Mass Effect 3 is coming to the Wii U anyway. Why would anyone start the series with its (supposed) last installment?
  • Might pick it up again. I still put many hours into the MP, and it's a great game. I don't care what any of you say, but the ending was good. Take a minute and think about it before you RAAAAAAGE.
  • While that nice for Nintendo loyalists, it kinda sucks because they don't get Mass Effect 2 at least. It's still good to see that major games are coming to a Nintendo console again.
  • If it sells well then it was a bet worth taking.
  • don't care, still not buying it.
  • I just don't see the point in playing ME3 on the Wii-U. Maybe it's because the ME game are based around player choice, but can you imagine walking into the third installment for the first time and on the Wii-U? Maybe I'm wrong on this. I never tried the interactive comic for ME1, so it could be very good and cover a lot of the story and lore. It just seems odd to me to jump on the end of a trilogy like ME.
  • I'm surprised to say the most. Expect to see the first game on the Virtual Console in a couple years.
  • Bringing the disappointment to another console... (jk)
  • If I buy a Wii U, and I see the game for cheap down the line one day, I'll pick it up. It'd be interesting I think.
  • I have a feeling the first six months to year of the Wii U will be similar to the Vita in that the majority of games will be ports instead if original titles.
  • You know what I was hoping? That microsoft did what they usually did and only bought exclusivity from sony, then the series could be released as a complete trilogy for wiiU.

  • they are bring the 3rd part of a trilogy to the wii u. smart, real smart nintendo. no wonder you are a joke now
  • HAH! sucks to be a WiiU owner. You get left with the worst part of the trilogy LOL
  • I wish they would have added an interactive backstory for all versions of ME3, just so if want to do something a little bit different you don't have to play through all the games again just to change one major thing that could be changed with the backstory feature. Maybe they can offer it through dlc like they did for me2 for Xbox 360.

  • Yeah! Mass Effect 3 Genesis confirmed!

    I have no clue why I want the damn comic so badly, I think it might just be to see how they do the Suicide Mission.

  • This is a complete and total waste of money to port Mass Effect 3 to the Wii U. This will sell poorly, guaranteed. No one is going to buy this because the people interested in the game already own it, on top of this, those who weren't interested in it before, aren't suddenly going to be interested in it now. Plus, who really wants to play just the third entry of a big Sci-Fi RPG, where previous choices heavily factor in, they're going to miss the first two entries and many sad and impactful moments won't be nearly as impactful.
