Ubisoft continues to express that the company is a big believer in Wii U. This time, senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key talked up the console’s dual screen experience.

Speaking with IGN, Key said:

“As a company, we like the Wii U. We really believe that the second screen can add a new dimension to gaming. We’re still big supporters of that system. We have just as many games coming out on Wii U this year as we did at launch. So we like the second screen. We think there are opportunities with all these games to extend them – to another person, to another location. We’re taking it very seriously.”

Ubisoft will have – at least this year – quite a bit of content on Wii U. Fans can look forward to Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Assassin’s Creed IV, and Watch_Dogs.

EA: Nintendo fans may miss out a little on Madden NFL 14 for Wii U, not turning off Madden NFL 13’s off switch

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

EA won’t be releasing Madden NFL 25 on Wii U. What’s a Nintendo fan to do if they’re looking for a football experience? Play last year’s release, Madden NFL 13.

EA Sports producer Thomas Singleton acknowledged that “Nintendo fans will probably miss out a little bit”, but said those seeking a Madden game can look towards Madden NFL 13, “a great product and you can continue playing that product because it’s not going anywhere”.

“I think the Nintendo fans will probably miss out a little bit, but the Wii U version that we created last year was a great product and you can continue playing that product because it’s not going anywhere – it’s still there. Whether or not we’re shipping a new version? We’re not.”

According to Singleton, when it comes to Madden NFL 13 on Wii U, “We don’t have any plans on turning off the off switch.”
