Riccitiello: Mass Effect 3 “single best piece of software” for Wii U

EA CEO John Riccitiello has said Mass Effect 3 is currently the “best piece of software” that’s been announced for Wii U.

The BioWare RPG was announced for the system at the Nintendo press conference on Tuesday as part of a b-roll video, but the announcement was warmly received.

“We looked at the Wii U launch line-up yesterday and we’re very pleased there was a lot of applause for ME3,” Riccitiello said in a investor call last night.

In fact I think it got one of the loudest applauses, so we’re pleased that people see it as the single best piece of software that’s been announced for the platform.”

Despite the announce, no more details was given on how the game would work for the system or if it’d be a launch title.

It’ll certainly have the best ending of all WiiU games.

It’s almost like saying that Jon is the best brother in Jedward.

Dont get me wrong as much as i like the mass effect trilogy, i think they are also great games for launch, that can compete with mass effect with ease.

I hate Mass Effect with passion. So it is the most boring single software announced on the WiiU. Oh and I thought Batman Arkham City is considered much better critically ?
