Mass Effect 3: Special Edition has pretty much been a disaster the whole way around. Wii U owners, first of all, are starting off with the third game in the franchise rather than the first.

That wouldn’t be so terrible if EA hadn’t announced – and already released – the Mass Effect Trilogy on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The package contains all three entries in the series. We’ve since heard that DLC such as Omega won’t be coming to the Wii U at this time.

Despite all of the negative news, there could be a bit of hope regarding Mass Effect’s future on Nintendo’s home console. In an interview with GamerSyndone, the company teased that it does have “plans” for Wii U, “but nothing to announce at this moment.” It also hinted that the Mass Effect Trilogy could head to Wii U, reiterating: “Never Say Never”.

We’re just a few hours away from the 2012 VGAs. This won’t necessarily be a huge event in the world of Nintendo, but it’s a big night for games in general and there will be Nintendo-related content at the show.

First and foremost, it’s been confirmed that the Assassin’s Creed III: The Tyranny of King Washington DLC will make its deubt. This content will be coming to the Wii U version of the game sometime in the future. There are also several titles on Nintendo systems nominated for awards, so it should be interesting to see how the results pan out. And there’s always the possibility that an unannounced multiplatform game or two could come to a Nintendo system.

You’ll be able to watch the VGA 2012 pre-show here at 8 PM EST / 5 PM PST. The awards show itself will debut one hour later and should be viewable on the same page.

42 staff were left at the studio following last month’s wave of redundancies. They were each let go this morning.

A lengthy statement from Eurocom can be found below.
