Mass Effect 3 for Wii U: Information and Screenshots

EA and BioWare are bringing Mass Effect 3 to the Wii U, with new screenshots, a strong third-party showing for Nintendo's new console.

I’ve been on the fence about the Wii U for a while. Graphically it doesn’t look a world apart from the PS3 or 360, and the tablet controller has been hit or miss in early hands-on, depending on the game.

But today’s news that EA and BioWare are bringing Mass Effect 3 to the Wii U nudges me a little further toward the system. New screenshots show the game running on the console, and a strong third-party showing like this is exactly what a new platform needs to win over the skeptics. The question, as ever, is whether the GamePad adds anything beyond a second screen.
