EA chief operating officer Peter Moore has responded directly to a recent report concerning Wii U.
Yesterday, CVG published a piece about the console, which included some comments from a supposed source within the company. The unnamed person said that “Nintendo was dead to us very quickly” – among other things.
Moore took to Twitter earlier today and responded to those remarks, writing:
Don’t trust "anonymous sources". Nintendo's a great partner. They never have been, and never will be, ‘dead’ to EA… @EA .

Moore also had a brief exchange with Rob Crossley, the writer of CVG’s Nintendo article:
@Rob_Crossley_ I know where I, as the COO, and my company stands on this relationship, despite the comments of your anonymous source @EA

KickBeat isn’t 100% confirmed for Wii U, but based on this week’s USK rating, I’m almost certain that an announcement will be made in the near future.
Dead Pixel Entertainment will soon be revealing Starbeast, its new title slated exclusively for the Wii U eShop. The studio’s Ravi Jayant confirmed via Twitter:
4 words: Starbeast, exclusive WiiU title. Formal announcement coming soon. @Emi1yRogers, thanks for the support! pic.twitter.com/B5vwdYUnDz

Starbeast is a 2D shooter with “bullet hell” gameplay. Metroid and Gradius are said to be among the project’s influences.
Starbeast’s reveal doesn’t have a specific date yet, but we’ll keep you updated with any developments that arise.
