You know what’s odd? Receiving details about a western game through Japanese sources. EA has announced the Wii U version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted for Japan, confirming a release date and bringing out a bit of information.

Most Wanted will be able to display menu content directly on the Wii U GamePad. It will also fully support Off-TV Play so that players can experience the entire game on the controller.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted Wii U is hitting Japan on March 14 for 6,615 yen. Oddly enough, we’re still waiting for launch date details overseas.
