So we decided to put a bit of our own money into bringing something original to Wii U. And naturally, you're playing around with the hardware and you start to think about other ideas you have that might lend themselves to the console. We had a couple of other projects on the go, but ME3 was really the focus. Once we signed that deal and started working on that game, we became pretty immersed in everything Wii U. Obviously we pursued the Mass Effect opportunity extremely aggressively. TC: It's funny the way these things work out. GS: How did you end up doing so many Wii U titles? The fact that you can play the whole game on the GamePad is pretty cool too. The challenge for us, of course, was to make that control experience better and more intuitive. The fact is, when you play Mass Effect 3 on Wii U, you'll be using that controller in a very different way to how you might have played the game on PS3 or 360.

It's a powerful machine, easy to work with, and we genuinely feel as though the GamePad enhances the experience, especially on games like Mass Effect. Obviously it's a tense time right now, as Nintendo iron out the final wrinkles before launch, but the experience for us to date has been very positive. Right now we have three titles in development, two of which will ship in the launch window. TC: We have a long history of working with Nintendo platforms. GS: What are your thoughts on the Wii U, after working on it extensively?
