Mass Effect 3 Wii U developer really doesn’t want to mess this up

You know what I really appreciate in a developer? Humility. The understanding that they aren’t perfect and that they’re trying their hardest to do the best that they can. Self-awareness, I guess would be the way to phrase it, and Mass Effect 3 Wii U developer Straight Right has just that.
“We’re very conscious of not wanting to mess up given the level of expectation and the fact that we’re taking something which, on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and PC, was exceptionally good.” – Straight Right boss Tom Crago
He went on to talk specifically about what their thought process has been with Wii U:
“You look at the game and think ‘how could I possibly make this better?’ The Wii U gives you that opportunity with the GamePad. But first and foremost you say, ‘well, I don’t want to screw this up’. You want to replicate the experience on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as sympathetically as possible. But then you say, ‘how can I enhance this experience?’. We tried to get the game looking great and singing on Wii U, and then use the GamePad to complement this.”
