A few details about Battlefield 3 on the Wii U

I wasn’t too sure if Battlefield 3 was coming to the Wii U. I know Electronic Arts talked about it (sort of) at Nintendo’s E3 press conference, but every sentence was prefaced with the word “imagine,” so there didn’t seem to be a clear announcement.

Luckily, Frank Gibeau of EA has talked about ideas for Battlefield on the Wii U, so it seems like it’s a project that is actually going to happen.

Gibeau said that the Wii U’s touchscreen is “elegant” and “works seamlessly with the experience.” He added that:

We’ve just had a little bit of time with it and we’ve uncovered new ways of playing Battlefield that I’m really excited about.

And then he shared a couple of specific ideas:

You can imagine that there are new ways of playing the game from a commander mode or for being able to drive from a different position inside of a vehicle.

After the semi-announcement that Mass Effect is probably coming to the Wii U I’m really starting to appreciate what powerful hardware and full-throttle support from some of the biggest developers and publishers in the world can allow for. These be exciting times.
