Need for Speed: Rivals producer explains why the game isn’t coming to Wii U

Need for Speed: Rivals was never expected to come to Wii U based on some of the statements EA has made as of late. Still, NowGamer wanted an asked.
When asked why Rivals isn’t planned for Wii U, executive producer Marcus Nilsson explained:
“From an EA perspective, we look at different console strategies and different platforms and what makes sense for return of investment, what makes sense from tech development and also what do people want to work on. In this particular case, for Rivals at least, Wii U is not one of the platforms.”
After seeing how well Need for Speed: Most Wanted performed on Wii U from a technical standpoint, it’s a shame that the system will be missing out on Rivals. It would have been nice to see how this latest racer stacked up on Nintendo’s console.
