EA is starting to get more specific with regard to its plans for Wii U.

The company has two unannounced titles in development for the platform. Right now it’s looking like they’ll be announced later this summer. EA label president Frank Gibeau has said that the company will “have a bigger line-up for Wii U than we did on the Wii.”

According to Gibeau:

“We’ve got a couple of more games in development for Wii U and we’ll have a bigger line-up for Wii U than we did on the Wii. It is the first next-generation platform coming out so we’re really supporting it. Just looking at E3 and where we’re at, we wanted to hold our fire a little bit on a couple of the other games that we’re working on. We’ll have more announcements this summer on the rest of the Wii U line-up. …You’ll hear more later this summer.”

Gibeau also spoke about the GamePad, stating that EA will “do some new, unique things with it on the Wii U controller and the second screen that we’re innovating on”.

Mass Effect 3 is one of the company’s games that will be taking advantage of the new controller.

“We’ll do some new, unique things with it on the Wii U controller and the second screen that we’re innovating on.”

As much as we love Ubisoft, some of their decisions have been baffling. Case in point: Rayman Origins 3DS.

The game was pushed back once again in North America last week, but not to improve its quality. Ubisoft was simply waiting for the right time to launch the title so that it could promote another upcoming product, Rayman Legends.

Rayman Origins’s delay only applies to the US. European consumers can actually run out and purchase the game right now.

The situation doesn’t make much sense, but it is what it is.
