Entrevista com a EA da primeira dica da "summer conference" da Nintendo

EA Labels President Frank Gibeau EA Labels President Frank Gibeau
Off the back of last week's E3 press conferences when Electronic Arts revealed just a single Wii U project - Mass Effect 3 - the publisher's games label president Frank Gibeau has rebutted claims of neglecting the new console.

"We've got a couple of more games in development for Wii U and we'll have a bigger line-up for Wii U than we did on the Wii," he said.

"It is the first next-generation platform coming out so we're really supporting it.

"Just looking at E3 and where we're at, we wanted to hold our fire a little bit on a couple of the other games that we're working on. We'll have more announcements this summer on the rest of the Wii U line-up."

At E3 2011, EA chief executive John Riccitiello said that his company was embarking on "an unprecedented partnership" with Nintendo (video below)

Riccitiello described the Wii U tablet controller as "transformational". While Gibeau did not echo words to that effect, he told CVG that the publisher will "do some new, unique things with it on the Wii U controller and the second screen that we're innovating on".

"You'll hear more later this summer," he said.


Mass Effect's Second Screen

Though Mass Effect 3 was the only EA game announced for Wii U, the response at E3 was particularly positive.

Gibeau insisted that the project would not be a basic port.
"We'll do some new, unique things with it on the Wii U controller and the second screen that we're innovating on," he said.

"You'll hear more of it after this summer.

Ou seja, ela preferiu pegar mais do potencial do Wii U e ajustar no último kit de desenvolvimento... Conclusão, todo mundo se surpreende. xD Estou ansioso para ver o que de novo vamos ter.
