Battlefield 4 isn’t coming to Wii U. Nor are Tiger Woods or Madden. But that’s not all – the company has absolutely no games in development for the Wii U at the moment.

Company spokesperson Jeff Brown told Kotaku: “We have no games in development for the Wii U currently.”

That would seemingly rule out the next entry in the Need for Speed series and FIFA 14.

As far as what the future holds, Brown wouldn’t rule out the possibility of EA approaching Wii U development in the future.

But what about EA and Nintendo’s supposed “unprecedented partnership”? You know, when former CEO of EA John Riccitiello came on stage at Nintendo’s E3 2011 briefing and spoke highly of the console. According to Brown, EA’s initial wave of games – Mass Effect 3: Special Edition, Madden, FIFA, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted U – delivered on the company’s promise.

The launch of Mighty Switch Force! 2 may not be too far off. European rating boards PEGI and USK both added the title to their databases today. These kinds of listings usually mean that a game isn’t too far off, so we’re hoping that’s the case here as well.

Son of Nor could come to the Wii U eShop. Stillalive Studios founder Julian Mautner has expressed interest in bringing the game to Nintendo’s console.

Mautner has said that the team would like to “test” Son of Nor for Wii U. If all goes well, a Wii U version could be added in on Kickstarter as a stretch goal.

“We are eager to test Son of Nor on the WiiU, as it would add really a lot to the game! If everything works out we’d be interested in porting the game as part of a stretch-goal!”

Roughly $64,000 has been raised on Kickstarter thus far. Stillalive would like to collect $150,000 in total funding within the next thirteen days.

Two Tribes isn’t done with Toki Tori 2. The studio is still working on the level editor, for instance.

But what lies ahead for Two Tribes? According to Martijn Reuvers, the team will be bringing its “vintage titles” to the Wii U – that includes Toki Tori, EDGE, and RUSH. Two Tribes is also considering EDGE for 3DS, which would be brought over by a separate developer.

“Apart from Toki Tori 2, we’re also planning on bringing our vintage titles, Toki Tori, EDGE and RUSH to the Wii U as well. And we’re in the talks with another developer to bring EDGE to the 3DS as well. But nothing is solid at this point.”
