Mass Effect 3 'Omega' DLC Skips Wii U

Electronic Arts confirmed the upcoming single-player download content for Mass Effect 3, Omega, is not launching on Nintendo's Wii U console next week.

In a series of Twitter responses, EA was unable to say whether or not DLC content not available on the Wii U disc will ever become available. The publisher also was unable to confirm whether or not there were plans to release Mass Effect 1 and 2 on Wii U.

The Omega DLC launches on November 27 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC for $14.99 or 1200 Microsoft Points. The story centers on Omega ruler Aria T'loak who's out to retake the station from Cerberus control.

  • will this be included in PS3's Mass Effect Trilogy?
  • So looking forward to this. I hope to see Patriarch again, that would be awesome.
    The Krantt returns!
  • That's because EA is stupid, sorry.

  • $15 dollars for a single DLC...geez. I really hope it's longer than 2 hours.
  • Kinda feel bad for those with the Wii U. Maybe they might come up with something to make up for it. As for those with the other systems, things are about to amp up next week. Although....$15 is a bit much. Better be worth the money, especially for the big fans of Mass Effect.

  • I have wanted this DLC since I first talked to Aria in ME3 and found out Cerberus drove her out of Omega. I hope Omega is a hub world like in ME2 and can be revisited after you finish the DLC's story line.

    ^Yet another reason why I thought that porting this game to the Wii U was a bad idea.

    "Hey, dedicated Nintendo fans that have never owned a PS3 or Xbox 360, how would you like to play the last part of a 3 part series?!"
  • omg i have the biggest backlog of games its not even funny

  • What a shame but it doesn't stop me from me getting ME3 for Wii U.
  • Hey wait a second, they didn't actually say it would skip Wii U as the headline claims. GI, I expect more of you guys!

  • EA = half asses it most of the time

    They are slowly ruining my fav series, Dead Space, with their corporate requests to 'fix' the game each sequel

  • I can understand not releasing ME 1 and 2. But they should have made more of an effort to get this dlc in.

  • Why would anybody buy it for Wii U, unless of course they can't on another system? It's the vastly inferior option.
  • Well that's a fail.  You couldn't put it on disc?  Why buy the Wii U version?

  • Bethesda could take a huge lesson from this announcement.

  • Maybe in the future...

  • You probably can't store it on the system anyways

  • This dlc is useless on any console.Ifear for the next ME game if they couldnt get the last 2 right.

  • If its any consolation Wii U owners, you're not missing much. Your choices makes no difference at the end anyways.
