Citing compatibility issues, DICE’s tech director Johan Andersson revealed on Twitter that Frostbite Engine 3 games won’t be coming to the Wii U. Apparently tests with Frostbite 2 on Nintendo’s troubled console were “not too promising” and the developers have decided not to bring Frostbite 3 to the Wii U as a result. This means that Wii U owners will be missing out on a long list of games currently in development, including:
- Battlefield 4
- Mass Effect 4
- Dragon Age III
- Need for Speed 2013
- Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel
- Visceral’s new Star Wars IP
Tha list above is incomplete, and the absence of such highly anticipated titles probably won’t help the Wii U’s already struggling sales figures. Hopefully the upcoming release of Mario 3D and a recent update to the Wii U’s firmware will give the console a helping hand. It clearly needs it.
Breanna has been gaming since infancy, if gnawing on an unattended controller counts as playing a game. One of the younger members of the Gaming Trend family, she dabbled in PC games as a kid but wasn't fully consumed by the hobby until the sixth generation of consoles. Now an avid PC and console gamer, she looks forward to the day when she can scape together enough cash to join the next gen club.
In the last week of middle school, a math teacher taught her how to program a calculator; she was pretty much hooked then and there. Currently working towards a degree in Computer Science and Applied Math, Breanna hope to someday make games instead of just writing about them. Other hobbies include playing guitar, binge-watching Netflix, and cooking delicious food.
