Review

Criterion’s reboot of Need for Speed: Most Wanted was a very different beast to its 2005 namesake.

Just look at those graphics.

Last month we reported that the Wii U‘s port of Mass Effect 3 is not being handled by its original developer, BioWare, but instead by the long-running studio behind uncountable movie tie-ins from the past decade: Tantalus Media.

Mass Effect 3, confirmed for Wii U during Nintendo’s E3 presentation earlier this year, will release alongside the new console as one of three EA-published titles confirmed to be available at launch thus far.

It was confirmed by BioWare during EA’s Summer Showcase that the Wii U version will be more than a simple port, with new control methods to support the GamePad, the Extended Cut downloadable content available on-disc, as well as an interactive story mode which allows Nintendo-exclusive gamers to catch up with the series’ history as it moves onto a Nintendo platform for the first time.
