The Wii U version of Criterion’s sublime open world racer Need For Speed: Most Wanted will feature a raft of exclusive features using the Gamepad.

Co-Driver will see one player drive using a Wii Remote or Pro Controller while the other takes charge of the second screen on the pad, distracting cops by touch, switching from day to night or controlling traffic on the road.

Players can also change mods, switch cars, track milestones and uncover hidden gems (such as speed cameras), via the Wii U touch screen.

The entire game can also be played on the Gamepad alone.

The PS3/Xbox 360 DLC Ultimate Speed Pack will also be included as standard, with the McLaren F1 LM, Lamborghini Aventador J, Pagani Zonda R, Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse and the Hennessey Venom GT.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted Wii U will release on March 21 in Europe.

Nothing too special then?

Great! another 60k seller for the Wii U! ♥

This is totally worth seventy measly euros.

If it reaches 60k is totally worth it. According to Ubisoft numbers, porting their games to Wii U cost around 1 million.

60 dollars - 10 of royalties - 15 for distributors/stores = 35 in earnings

60.000 x 35 = 2.100.000 dollars

2.100.000 - 1.000.000 = worth it

Anything over 30k is profit for them, plus the experience of porting their engine to the console to release more games later. Even if the cost is twice as much, 60k plus experience make it worth it.

Well that's actually pretty good then, butmy fear still lives, even if anyone who wanted these games doesn't need these ports and they (and we) know that, companies could still pull a ''Our game has proven to be unsuccesful on this platform so, we ain't givin yo moh gaimz fo it n...'' but any ways if it just costs  $1 million is good news, i didn't know it was that cheap to port a game.

Seems like EA is doing right this time.

I think you might need to re-think some of this math.  

First off, it was "over $1.2 million" - Source.  And of course, that was how much it's costing Ubisoft to port games.  Although it's still a good starting point since we don't have any other figure, it's not necessarily going to be accurate for how much it'll cost EA.  Could be more, could be less.

Secondly, I'm not sure the monetary breakdown you had is quite correct either.  To use an apparently often-cited pie chart Bazori uses:

Which would stand them to gain about $27 dollars per $60 game.

Of course, all this is a little bit pointless because assuming $27 in royalties and $1.2 million for the port, they'd still gain about $400,000 from it.  But then 30,000 would be a $400,000 loss.  Small amounts either way.

Anyway, I'm not here to pass judgement.  Although I don't expect the game to sell well, who knows how it'll do.  Could be find and net some tidy profit for EA.  We'll just have to wait and see.

needs to know more
