"According to a concept artist for a developer studio associated with Electronic Arts, there are plans that Visceral Games, the company behind the Dead Space games, to make a new installment of Dead Space, and that will be coming to Wii U and other consoles. No Dead Space game will be shown at this year’s E3. Another game from Electronic Arts that I was told will receive the Wii U treatment is Overstrike, which is developed by Insomniac games. Insomniac has received Wii U development kits. Insomniac are known for franchises such as Resistance and Ratchet & Clank for Sony’s consoles.

And the last interesting tidbit of news that I am hearing involves Crytek, who is a partner with Electronic Arts. Crytek might be giving Electronic Arts the publishing duties for TimeSplitters 4 for the Wii U. Coincidentally, before Free Radical became part of Crytek, Electronic Arts published Timesplitters: Future Perfect. TimeSplitters 4 will be announced at E3 this year for the Wii U and other consoles. I’m hearing that there is over 150-200 Wii U games currently in development. Nintendo is planning to announce numerous partnerships and collaborations regarding the Wii U at this E3

My friend told me that when Electronic Arts received the first and second versions of Wii U development kits, Nintendo wasn’t sure how powerful the console was going to be. All they cared about at that point was making a console that was easy to port 360/PS3 games. They had to keep the dev kits at 360/PS3 level in the beginning because it’s easy to start low on specs and go up in power, but it’s impossible to create a super powerful development kit and then downgrade it in power. I hear that the 5th and 6th versions of this development kit are pretty powerful, and Frostbite 2 has been seen running on the Wii U with very smooth results and a higher frame rate than the 360 version of Battlefield 3, that are superior to any PS3/360 game running Frostbite 2."

Nice!:D, what do you guys think?.

Doubt it, rumors that come true are usually one thing. This is like five, it is unlikely this guy heard all this in short amount of time.

As for the the only one I have interest in is Timesplitters 4, I had 2 on gamecube and it was fairly enjoyable.

One day, Nintendo decided to put Mario into the world of Metroid. Alas, he was no match for the mighty Geemer.

I really hope Timesplitters 4 is coming, I had 2 for the GC and LOVED that game. It was so much fun to play with friends and my siblings. I never played any of the other Timesplitters though...

I would agree with you, but this is not separate rumors, these are all coming from an EA source.

Considering Crytek and EA are working together on a game, it is likely that they are going to use EA to publish a few games under that contract.

Deadspace is already published by EA if I remember correctly.

As for Overstrike, Insomniac is probably using EA to publish it.

As for all of those games coming to the Wii U being questioned, other than Ubisoft, and Nintendo themselves, I cant think of any other publishing house that has been more out spoken in support for the Wii U; I dont count THQ considering it has been only Vigil that has been outspoken about their support of the new console and not the actual publisher coming out saying praises.

Just a rumor.
But any mention of Timespiltters 4 instantly gets my hype meter running.

TIMESPLITTERS. Though i'll probably get it on a different console then the wii u... i don't think the controller would be best suited for it, but we'll see.

"I’m hearing that there is over 150-200 Wii U games currently in development. Nintendo is planning to announce numerous partnerships and collaborations regarding the Wii U at this E3"

This right here is the most important part in the entire rumor post, as this is most significant. If this is even a bit true in the slightest, then it's looking good for the Wii U.
