Should have just put the whole damn trilogy on the system...

Kind of not possible since Microsoft has its hands on ME1.
It would be great for WiiU/PS3 owners if that weren't the case, though.
I wonder if it would be better or worse to do squad command stuff through the WiiU screen. Kinect's implementation seemed like it was alright.

EA really hates Nintendo fans. The only game they get and it's ME3?
And FIFA and Madden.

I wonder how basic the choices will be in the comic, something like they did for ME2.

Agreed!
This is why I'm keeping my hopes up for streaming to the gamepad on this game. Seems like a really logical feature.
Just a quick question
Did you play Mass Effect 1&2 and did you move your Shepard from each game?

So instead of getting all the games on the system, Wii U gamers would still get a piece of it so it doesn't feel like they were left out. I wish they'd do this for the other late ports.

I mean from the Mass Effect series.
They did it for the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 they will do it for the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3.

You can't feel bad for me, I played 1 & 2 on my 360 before it died. I think I'm really gonna enjoy this one.
It's not really cost effective to port them over.

wii u buyers, your decisions don't matter.
why give them hope and potential and watch it disappear as they play? that's cruel

Direct feed screenshots.
It's not like their experience will be that dramatically different, barring a cutscene romance or something.

And then they'd get sued by Microsoft...excellent business decision.

I did but I wouldn't mind changing some of the choices though so it's no biggie to start over.
I don't doubt that since the game play is actually pretty good.
True. I earned my bitching by spending probably closes to $200 on the franchise as a whole. Wii U players will only have to pay $60 to do the same.
I can see new players not being as attached to the characters when they haven't been exposed to them for two whole games. I mean, the characters are the best part of the series, but I doubt a new guy will fall in love with Garrus through an interactive comic.

Yup I'm okay with this!

To bad none of the loyalty missions are in the comics, since a few of them matters in the next game, talking ME2-ME3 specifically, never played ME1, so don't know between ME1 -> ME2.
It will probably be on disk at retail.
That'll make it sting less when the game says "fuck it" at the end and the teammates leave Shepard at the end anyway.

This should have been a bigger announcement at E3 rather than just a showing on a b-roll.

It really shouldn't have. Arkham City already took up like 10 minutes, a game that was already released for other platforms.

Only thing that matters is the price & i haven't heard anything about that.

Oh I don't mean a big showing like that. But something from Reggie like "Mass Effect is coming to Wii U" with a small tease of the features and then move on rather than a brief showing of footage in a b-roll.
I say it should have been a bigger announcement, though, because - for better or worse - Mass Effect 3 is one of the biggest games this year.
