Which Wii U games are going to bomb?

Unless you want to slog through the first game which I don't think is worth that effort... you really should be OK with just getting Mass Effect 3 with the pre-quel story/choices covered via comic. I personally think that is a good feature even if you have already played first two games on same console because now you don't have to slog through the prior games making different choices just to have a different starting point for ME-3.

While I didnt enjoy all the lame gameplay and loading screens and dialog tree minutia of the first game... I did think ME-2 was much more worth playing. It was like the difference between Assassin's Creed first game and Assassin's Creed II. If you have played both of those, would you recommend the 1st game to anyone or would you advise them to skip the first and just enjoy the second game starting with Ezio story. Now extend that out to AC-3 being available... and coming to Wii U without AC-1 or AC-2 coming to Wii U.

What exactly is wrong with what EA has done bringing just ME-3 to Wii U? Is it that ME1-ME2-ME3 collection became available for X360? Well those games were already made and working for X360. What about PS3 finally getting ME-1? Well that isn't out yet and wont be until December... because it takes work. So why are ME-1 and ME-2 not for Wii U yet? Well that also will take time... and they got their hands full just trying to get ME-3 ported over successfully for launch including the damn online mode.

I dislike EA on many things, but picking on them on ME-3 is not fair in my view.

The Mass Effect and Assassins Creed series are not really comparable like that. The ME games are much more intertwined. I haven't played any AC yet but I feel like I don't even need to look up the previous story to enjoy the third game. Mass Effect on the other hand revolves around the decisions you make. Without this part it's a half decent wannabe RPG with mediocre combat.

 

But I'm not hating on EA because they release the complete Trilogy parallel to this game. I have played ME1 and 2 and I wouldn't want to play through them again just to pick up my story. The comic solution fits me pretty well. What rubs me the wrong way is that the game is apparently a technical mess AND costs basically the same as the whole trilogy on the other consoles. 30 - 40 bucks and a decent port and EA could gladly have my money for this game.
