I think they're probably waiting to see about the Wii U. They don't have as much faith in it as some other companies appear to, but if the system sells well, and games like ME3 and Arkham City are successful, they'll probably go ahead and develop a Wii U version.

Anyway, good news and hopefully it can stick to that date.

ME3 isn't going to succeed. EA is making damn sure of that.

And that's where we see the underlying brilliance of their plan (worthy of a B-grade movie villain or so): put ripoff "core" games on the platform, know they're a ripoff, watch them tank, and there's your and everyone else's excuse to avoid the platform.

Brilliant in its insidiousness.

@ kitler. Plenty of development kits were out there. I'm sure if Rockstar wanted one, all they had to do was ask. But that would, of course, involve talking to Nintendo, which is the greatest  shame aside from developing for one of their platforms (the unthinkable taboo).

Still better than the guy from Quantum of Solace!

But I think this is a little bit tinfoil-ish. They're not looking for reasons not to develop games on Wii U; it's not like they really care about what Nintendo fans think.

They just don't want to risk putting in the money and effort to make a good game on Wii U which could potentially sell but could also fail miserably, so they're making a lame cash-in instead, with the hope of wringing some revenue out of it. This is nothing new.
