BioWare hints at more Mass Effect on Wii U


Wii U version of Mass Effect 3


Update: This interview was a hoax. Click here for story from Gameranx.


Original Story

In spite of a few minor technical issues, Mass Effect 3: Special Edition has received mostly good reviews, but many publications say it's not worth buying due to the fact that you can get the full trilogy for the same price on any of the other platforms. The revelation that the Omega DLC wasn't in the works for Nintendo's console was also another blow that undoubtedly led many gamers to lose interest in the triple-A launch title.

While Mass Effect 3: Special Edition may not sell as well as hoped, developer BioWare has revealed that they do have plans to do more with the series on the Wii U. As for the question of Mass Effect Trilogy making its way to the system, BioWare said "Never say never."


GS: What is BioWare’s plan regarding the Wii U? Mass Effect 3 was released onto it but fans were surprised to learn DLC, like Omega or Leviathan, wouldn’t be available for it. Are there plans for the first two games to be released onto Wii U as well as DLC?

BioWare: We have a terrific company in Australia [Straight Right] who did a good job putting Mass Effect 3 on Wii U. Again, I can’t really comment on rumored speculation about the game or the franchise. Wii U is a console we feel is really cool and that more Mass Effect would look great on it, so we do have plans for Wii U but nothing to announce at this moment.

GS: You guys said a similar thing when asked about a Mass Effect Trilogy for PS3 before you announced it.

BioWare: Yes we did, and look what happened. As we like to tell people on Twitter, “Never Say Never.” The same can be said about the Mass Effect Trilogy for Wii U. Never Say Never.

BioWare had a great deal more to say about the Mass Effect series, including a few words about the controversial ending. You can read the full interview via the source link below.
