EA won’t say if FIFA is coming to Wii U or not

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

EA recently said that there are no plans to bring Madden NFL 14 to Wii U. But what of FIFA 14, which also has yet to be confirmed for the system?

When asked by Eurogamer about the company’s plans, EA Sports said:

“We are only showcasing features for X360, PS3 and PC now. News about other platforms will be revealed in the months ahead.”

Well… FIFA 14 hasn’t been ruled out for Wii U, technically. That’s at least semi-positive…

“I think we have proven that this franchise is relevant, and that it has a long way to go. Our job as developers of this new opus is to surprise players and bringing fresh, different ideas, while at the same time ensuring that what makes AC such a stand-out franchise remains intact.”

“With the scale and scope of the world we are building, the completely new setting, the new gameplay mechanics, and our new characters (both our hero and his supporting cast), we are definitely on track to get the job done and avoid fatigue altogether.”

– AC4 creative director Jean Guesdon

Another very public-relations-driven statement regarding the state of a franchise. Nothing wrong with being safe with your words regarding a game that you want to sell!

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

Game & Wario will be available in Europe on June 28, Nintendo has announced. It’s also on track for a June 23 launch in North America.

In the states, Game & Wario is priced at $40 – $20 less than the average Wii U game. I imagine retailers will be looking to do something similar in Europe.
