Publisher has “great franchises” poised to hit Nintendo’s new system.
During its first quarter earnings call today, EA commented on its plans to support Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U. According to EA chief operating officer Peter Moore, the publisher is interested in the console and has plans to make announcements in the future.
“We’re keeping a very close eye on the platform,” Moore said before acknowledging the “lackluster response” Nintendo received coming out of E3. He added that EA has learned to “never underestimate Nintendo, as proven by the last generation.”
Moore noted that EA has “great franchises poised to be on that platform,” but that no announcements are ready to be made at this time. “We’ll probably announce more in the future,” he said.
During E3, EA announced that Mass Effect 3 is headed to Wii U. Since then, BioWare confirmed that the Wii U version will integrate Mass Effect 3’s extended cut endings.
The publisher is expected to make additional announcements leading up to Nintendo’s launch of Wii U later this year.
