EA Has a "Lack of Faith" in Mass Effect for Wii U?

Nintendo's Wii U is certainly one of the most unique console gaming experiences to be headed to the market. After some initial brand confusion admitted by Nintendo earlier in the year however, many developers including EA have been rumored to have a lack of faith in the company's next-gen offering.

One of the more prominent ways that this supposed ambivalence toward the Wii U rears its ugly head is through the EA's cross-platform marketing plan with regards to their popular Mass Effect shooter series. While Mass Effect 3 is indeed coming to the system itself, that doesn't mean that things are necessarily in perfect peace from a development state of mind. Sure we love the idea of being able to use the console's unique controller as an additional map and director of important in-game action, but some say that this initial attempt is more of a trial than an actual done deal in terms of EA's dealings with the system.

After all, despite the franchise's appearance on the Wii U, the upcoming release of the Mass Effect trilogy for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC has no current home on any Nintendo platform. According so sources over at Neogaf, "EA did not expect Wii U owners to buy Mass Effect, anyway, so no point in porting over three games." This means that if ME3 does indeed happen to sell quite well in its next-gen iteration, it is possible we might eventually see things ported, but right now their  certainly exists at least a small shadow of doubt in what the Wii U can actually accomplish. Will you all be ready to play Mass Effect on Wii U, or do you think EA is better off playing it safe with the touchpad device for now?
