EA may not have ceased Wii U development all together as initially thought, based on new comments from the company.

Speaking at the Stifel Nicolaus 2013 Internet, Media and Communications Conference today, EA chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen noted that the publisher does have content in the works for the Wii U, but not as many titles as PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

Jorgensen also said the following about Wii U during the event:

“You know, I think Nintendo’s business was more [an] extension of their last console. I think what the consumer will find is a lot more powerful gameplay with the new boxes that are coming out, and a lot of excitement, but it’ll remain to be seen as to the services associated with those as to how consumers decide which direction they might want to go.”

Resident Evil: Revelations HD is out now in stores, but there’s still plenty to look forward to. Capcom is preparing a number of DLC pieces that are set to launch over the next few months.

The Resistance Set and Enhancement Set, due out on June 4, both include six powerful custom parts. Each is priced at $1.99.

Two new playable characters join Raid Mode on June 11. For $2.99, you can add Rachel Ooze and Lady Hunk to the roster. Regular Rachael and Hunk can be unlocked in Raid Mode without paying extra.

Also on the horizon, Revelations’ pre-order DLC weapons for Jill, Parker and Jessica will go live for all players on June 18. It’s priced at $0.99.

A sizable step in the right direction.

I think, at this point, it’s very difficult to judge a Resident Evil title without comparing it to past entries in the series. It’s almost like Sonic in that respect, constantly trying to reinvent itself with a blend of what people used to like about the franchise and a more modern, trendy aesthetic. With Resident Evil: Revelations on 3DS (2011), Capcom appeared to be making strides towards meshing their two play-styles (survival horror and action-horror) together, and after the critical and commercial success of the game they decided to re-release it in high-definition for Wii U, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.

And honestly, I’m very happy about that.

Japanese blogs have been “ablaze” with talk about the Wii U version of Yakuza 1 & 2 HD. There is a thought that it suffers from slightly worse visuals compared to its PlayStation 3 counterpart that came out in Japan last year. Based on images released thus far, the Wii U version seems to possess some slightly jaggier edges, and an overall downgrade – though minor – in graphics.

Have a look for yourself in the gallery above.
