Alex Ward tweets about problems releasing Need for Speed: Most Wanted U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 27 Comments
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 11 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.

Ubisoft talks Watch Dogs Wii U – reasons for delay, may ship this year, wants to make full use of Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 42 Comments
Ubisoft senior producer Dominic Guay has opened up about Watch Dogs’ lengthy delay on Wii U.
The publisher announced plans today to ship the title across all platforms on May 27 – except for Nintendo’s hardware. Guay couldn’t offer up an exact date as to when Watch Dogs will be hitting Wii U, but said an arrival later this year is a “possibility.”
Guay told Polygon:
“Yeah it’s still alive. We still haven’t defined a ship date for it, though. So it’s on hold, to a certain extent for shipping.”
“We don’t have a specific ship date for it yet so it’s considered within the year. So we’re going to look at that and we’re going to let people know as soon as we figure out an exact date for it.”
