EA Says Frostbite 3 Is Possible On Wii U, But The Console Is Low Priority

EA Games Label Executive Vice President Patrick Söderlund has reiterated the company’s stance on Wii U. Söderlund says that EA will bring its plethora of games where the gamers are, but at this precise moment in time it isn’t on Wii U. Söderlund also stated that they could get Frostbite 3 running on Wii U, but they feel there isn’t the user base at the moment. Here’s what he had to say.

“Electronic Arts released Mass Effect 3 and FIFA 13 for the Wii U, but currently we’re focusing our resources on Xbox One and PS4, so it’s a fact that the priority (of the Wii U) is slightly lower. However making Frostbite 3 work on the Wii U is not impossible. Where there are gamers, we’ll be there as well. This is the true meaning of “omnidirectional”

And here we go. I guess Disney told EA to knock off their silly behavior.

At least their being honest now, saying before that the Wii U was too weak to run Frostbite 3 and then having it run on 360/PS3 was ridiculous, idk how they thought they could get away with that. Also I might be thinking of a different engine, but didn't they say they were bringing the engine to smart phones, but at that same time they also said it couldn't run on the Wii U...-.- what...

Never could have guessed it. Maybe a certain DRM removal helped on with the thinking..?

I was thinking the same thing! EA realizing that you may never know who you want to / have to "play nice with".

They never said that, but no one bothers to read the real quotes.

They said they tried it with Frostbite 2, hadn't too promising results and didn't bother to try with Frostbite 3.
That never meant that it was impossible. It meant that they A) had to put more work into it or B) downgrade it.

This begs the question: If the Wii U's sales pick up, will this bring back that 'Unprecedented Partnership', and will ALL of EA's next-gen titles come to the Wii U?
