Mass Effect 3 Wii U dev Straight Right is working on two additional games for Nintendo’s forthcoming console, boss Tom Crago has told Eurogamer.

“We’ve made a number of bets on the Wii U, so we’re certainly hoping that the platform comes strongly out of the gate. We’ve got two other titles in development,” Crago said in an interview about Mass Effect 3 on Wii U.

“One of them is original, our own IP, and another is based on another big franchise that will come out in 2013. It’s a big title and you will have heard of it,” he added.

Currently the team is hard at work wrapping up development of Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U, something Crago said the team is “very conscious of not wanting to mess up”.

“You look at the game and think ‘how could I possibly make this better?’ The Wii U gives you that opportunity with the GamePad. But first and foremost you say, ‘well, I don’t want to screw this up’.

“You want to replicate the experience on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as sympathetically as possible. But then you say, ‘how can I enhance this experience?’. We tried to get the game looking great and singing on Wii U, and then use the GamePad to complement this.”

Crago obviously wouldn’t pin a date on Mass Effect 3 for Wii U, given that the console is still without a release date, but he did add that the studio “intend to be there” on launch day.
