Frostbite 3 on Wii U “not impossible” but not a big priority for EA

EA has said that its Frostbite 3 engine is “not impossible” for Wii U.
Speaking with 4Gamer, EA Games Label executive vice president Patrick Söderlund suggested that the tech can run on Wii U, but it isn’t a big priority due to the publisher’s focus on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Söderlund noted:
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”
If Frostbite 3 were to be made compatible with Wii U, it would likely need to be scaled down somewhat and modified in order to appropriately work on the console.
