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.

Precursor Games (the team behind the upcoming Eternal Darkness sequel “Shadow of the Eternals“) is made up entirely of former staff of Silicon Knights, according to CEO Paul Caporicci, but he maintains that the two companies are entirely separate entities.

Silicon Knights– a Canadian based developer– has been having intense legal troubles over the last 5 or 6 years after losing a lawsuit to Epic Games over Unreal Engine licensing fees, and now, some folks are worried that the skeleton of that company left and built a new company– Precursor Games– to avoid having to pay damages. This allowed them to purchase assets from Silicon Knights in order to build Shadow of the Eternals, the pseudo-sequel to a game that was built by Silicon Knights in the first place.

Quite an odd situation, but I’m happy that we’re getting a sequel to Eternal Darkness.

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.
