Earlier this month (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/08/ea-frostbite-nintendo-wii-u/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), EA DICE's Johan Andersson dropped a major bomb: Frostbite 3 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/14/frostbite-go/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) won't be ported to the Wii U. The news meant that the company's next-gen franchises were doomed to skip the console: No Battlefield 4, no Star Wars games, no Mass Effect spin-off. Now, EA's Jeff Brown is saying the same fate applies to all of the company's titles, telling Kotaku that the company has "no games in development for the Wii U currently."
The confirmation isn't too surprising, but it is a crushing blow to fans who were banking on EA's 2011 promise to support the console (http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/07/live-from-nintendos-e3-2011-keynote/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget). Although Brown wouldn't rule out the possibility of the company returning to the platform, Kotaku was told that EA feels it fulfilled that promise by releasing games like Mass Effect 3 and Need For Speed Most Wanted during the Wii U's formative months (http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/26/wii-u-launch-day-lineup/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget). Despite the loss of third party support, Nintendo has previously urged gamers to be patient. After all, E3 is just around the corner (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/24/nintendo-wont-host-a-keynote-at-e3-2013-plans-small-but-focuse/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget).
