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”.

The UK-based Netflix-style streaming application “LOVEFiLM” is now available for download on Wii U for those of you who live in the wonderful land of Europe! You do need to have a paid account to actually access any of the content, but without one you’re still able to browse through all of the movies and shows to salivate over what you’re missing, and then convince yourself to buy a subscription.

Or, hey, you could always get one of those “free trial” things. That’s a great way to try something for free!

“We’ve got a very strong line-up, lots of titles and activities aimed at Christmas, but we’ve already got plans for Q1. Lots of new titles like Monster Hunter, but also repromotions and things like that. We definitely want to maintain momentum in Q1 – that’s our focus right now.” – Head of Consumer Marketing (and new-kid-on-the-block) James Honeywell

“Nintendo always makes sure it launches games throughout the year. We don’t really focus particularly on Christmas. We’ve got a strong line-up all the way through the year. We always have the marketing to support that. We have plans to take sampling all the way through the year. For us, it’s not just about launch, it’s about building momentum and maintaining that over a long period of time.”

The more I think about it, the more amazed I am at how many amazing new Wii U games we’ll be getting over the coming months. The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Bayonetta 2, Wii Fit U… the list just goes on! And that’s not even talking about what’s coming next holiday! My guess is the next Smash Bros.…
