the real news here is that EA thought that the 60$ Mass Effect 3 WiiU port was a solid effort


so true. I would love to see how the 3rd installment of a trilogy sold on PS4 when Wii U and X1 get all 3 games on one disc for less at the same time

Thanks guys. Well if the game was fine, wouldn't it make sense to have legs after it receives some heavy price cuts?
Based on the current prices (http://www.gamecrawler.co.uk/compare/mass-effect-3---special-edition-nintendo-wii-u/B00A76KA3E), why is not selling now? I mean if it's a good game and doesn't have any bugs, it should have sold well in the long run. Oh well. Pricing it at $60 was definitely idiotic.


The main problem is Mass Effect os one of the only series where your experience is based on what you did in the other games. So giving nintendo fans only the third at 60$ makes no sense

Battlefield is a thousand times more a kid game than SMB3DW or Wind Waker are, try again EA.


Hmmmm... okay, I see some reasoning in that... NOT. Or is "kid" the new "gay" or something?

Pretending to be a soldier is the old and current "kid".

Enjoying the two other games I mentioned belongs in any age group.

Thread should have been closed after this flawless first reply.

Wii U, you are doomed.

 Yes.. The Wii U is doomed for not getting  polished masterpieces like  Battlefield 4 and FIFA 14. Clearly missing out.

The game was a good effort, not great but good enough, it was missing some DLC and the capability to get new one. But it was overpriced, they charged 60 and the same week they released the collection for 60 U$. People did not get it because they did not feel the value of the title.

Reasons why it did not sold after that... well many people already played it on other devices, so only those that were never into the franchise will give it a try at a reduced price, right now is the 3rd best selling game for the console on amazon. because is dirty cheap http://www.amazon.com/Mass-Effect-3-Nintendo-Wii-U/dp/B002I0H0FS/ref=lp_4924901011_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1390417936&sr=1-3 but it was expensive when the options were few, and as it reduced on price so did the collection for the other consoles, now that there are more titles to choose from on Wii U and nobody is paying attention to it.

I have 13 games for my Wii U, but ME3 is not one of them. If I wanted to play the franchise I could get the collection for my PS3 for 32 U$.

Yeah, I get that but wasn't it revealed that your choices have absolutely nothing to do with the ending? Also, did the late port of Mass Effect 2 do well on ps3? Because I guess it must have, if they decided to not only release Mass Effect 3 on ps3, but also the trilogy.

I keep reading how all 3rd party games on wiiu are lazy ports and I expected a buggy game, but I guess it wasn't.
