Earlier today we shared a few tweets from Alex Ward. A message published the former Criterion co-founder suggested that he has no interest in supporting Wii U having just created his new company, Three Fields Entertainment.
Additional notes located on Ward’s Twitter account go into detail about the trouble launching Need for Speed: Most Wanted U back when he was with EA. As an example, Ward mentioned that the team working on the game flew to Nintendo “to personally demo a bid” in order to gain marketing support. “There was none,” he said. There were other issues as well, such as EA’s decision not to make Wanted U available in Europe at retail initially.
You’ll find all of the new relevant tweets above.

Former Criterion co-founder yawns at the idea of releasing titles on Wii U/3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 23 Comments
Alex Ward, one of the co-founders of Criterion, left the studio earlier this year. And just this week, Ward announced that he formed a new company known as “Three Fields Entertainment”.
Three Field’s goal, according to Ward, is to “make games for all platforms where we can self-publish.” One gamer mentioned on Twitter that the team should consider supporting Wii U and 3DS – which would make sense given Nintendo’s extremely open nature towards indie content. However, Ward didn’t seem too interested in doing so.
Check out the exchange between the two above.

Two Tribes’ next Wii U release will include multiplayer, the studio has confirmed. One user will experience the action on the GamePad, while the other will play with a Wiimote on the TV.
Two Tribes wrote on Twitter a couple of minutes ago:
New Two Tribes Wii u release will have multiplayer. One on the gamepad, other on TV with Wiimote.

The company didn’t state this explicitly, but Two Tribes is likely referring to its next “classic” game for the eShop.
