Yeah it's like a new buzzword for them. But with the opposite effect to an actual buzzword
This. Truly bizarre. Put it this way; I play A LOT of FIFA and I think the WiiU version looks awesome. Lots of features I'm really interested in. Would be shameful, not to mention contradictory, if they left out some of the other new mechanical/physics elements they've improved upon which make the game more fluid and easier to control.

I'm thinking this has a good chance of being BS since the Wii U version of Madden is apparently using the 2013 engine.

Yeah after this conference I won't take EA seriously when they say "casual" and "core".
Because the stuff they showed for Fifa 13 iOS, etc looked more for casual and the Wii U version is core.
Yea I'm going to just assume the Wii U version of Fifa will run on their most up to date physics engine until EA specifically say otherwise.

LOL, ME3 Leviathan doesn't even come to Wii U after they bring the franchise over a year late....
Wouldn't announcing a new ME3 title help sell the original ME3 title?

It is coming out this Summer that's why, it will probably be in the retail version of Wii U at launch.
Mass Effect 3 Wii U news!.

I guess....but why not announce it? It just doesn't make much sense to me why you wouldn't announce that.

ME1+ME2 comic confirmed for ME3 Wii U. Thus people now have a better reason to play it.
Leviathan is DLC, wouldn't make sense to announce it before the core game is released for the system. Maybe it'll be included on the disk.
Will that be sufficient to make ME3 worthwhile?
It'll help if they put all of the DLC on the disk. Mass Effect 3: Ultimate Edition WiiU.

They just announced a comic that covers the story of ME1 and ME2 so it would make a lot of sense to announce the Wii U version will include all DLC when it's released. Maybe it will be included, but with them announcing the comic I would have expected them to say something regarding all DLC also...
Then again, maybe it was because of the time frames.
Because If it comes with Wii U it's not DLC.

In my opinion no, because I believe the journey is more important than the destination, and no amount of comic books (interactive or otherwise) can make up for 60 - 100 hours of questing and character development across two games prior to the final chapter.
But in terms of keeping the story relevant and in context, people who do want to play ME3 will at least now know what's going on.
That's all I was really hoping for really. Now I can justify my purchase (along with the on disc DLC) for the Wii U version. The comic for the back story is excellent news.
Yes I think it is safe to say we know EA's lineup- Mass Effect, FIFA, and Madden.
Cheers!
I'm hoping it's announced at the Fall Conference or some other place, it was heavily hinted at, at GDC 2012.
And people that where disappointed by the conference I told you guys I wasn't going to get hyped and guess what I got more than expected lol.

Went from :lol to potential gamefly rent (when bored).
Note: I was already burnt by Mass Effect 1.
What did they say about MOH Wii U at GDC?
I don't remember where but it was confirmed on a top gaming site and than quickly removed for nobody too see it.
Well Army of Two and Dead Space 3 wasn't even at the conference so we don't know about them.

That's normally announced in GOTY titles, no? I guess I'm just frustrated with the entire ME situation on Wii U. If they would have released ME2 and all DLC it won't be so bad.
At any rate, Madden and fifa look good, IMO. It may have been expected by most, but I'm still happy to get an announcement and a first look at it. Also, I am glad there will be an interactive story for ME, though that doesn't change anything for me, hopefully it will for others.

You guys should know that EA's summer showcase has always focused on casual and mobile market games over other stuff. If you want bigger announcements from EA wait for Gamescom.

Trust me if Mass Effect 2 was confirmed for Wii U people would be complaining how the Wii U just keep getting old ports.

That's why everyone was hyped...JK
I think it was a good conference overall for Wii U. Madden and fifa look like they may be the definitive versions. I'm not sure how many players will migrate to Wii U for those titles though considering the existing Online infrastructure on PS360. Still, it's nice to see that Wii U is getting equal, or greater, ports of some of the important titles.
I meant they include it on the same disc with ME1 comic, DLC, and ME3... I know it was never very likely but I think it would have sold a lot more and it would be an easier sell for them at the likely full price they are going to ask.

Who was it who said they saw support for two Gamepads in FIFA?
Doesn't seem so to me.

Looks like they have been sitting on that footage for a long time considering they have old icons for the GamePad and Pro Controller.
At this point I can't see myself spending more than $40 at launch on ME3 unless it includes Leviathan, or allows you to play exclusively on the gamepad (because I love the gamepad only shit). I'm having a really hard time hyping myself up for basically starting the series over.
It's EA, they would never do that.

From a graphical standpoint mass effect on wii u looks pretty nice. I'm surprised

It looks the same as the 360/PS3 build.
I know, I haven't seen a good picture of the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions but does the Wii U version look noticeably better?.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
So I guess the next thing(s) to look froward to concerning WiiU are:
- August Nintendo Direct
- Japanese Wii U support announcement/conference
- September WiiU launch conference
Note: one and two could be the same thing.
Anyways, off to the WiiU experience. I'll post impressions later tonight or tomorrow morning.

No, and those screenshots are really low quality. I'd say they are on par.
