"Electronic Arts has confirmed plans to release launch titles for Nintendo&amp;#039;s upcoming console the Wii U. Speaking to Gamesindustry.biz about Nintendo&amp;#039;s new hardware, EA&amp;#039;s Frank Gibeau said that the company planned to &amp;quot;get there on day one&amp;quot; with software support. &amp;quot;With the Wii U it&amp;#039;s important for us to get there on day one so we can get in and build as big an audience as possible,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;We were really blown away by the unique innovation that Nintendo brings with the Wii U controller on a high performance machine. &amp;quot;The ability to do HD graphics and access game experiences in a completely novel way and a way that&amp;#039;s never been seen before, it really struck our fancy.&amp;quot; Gibeau singled out Madden, FIFA and Battlefield as games that would work well on the console. &amp;quot;We were excited by what Nintendo presented to us. We thought about it and it fits well with what we&amp;#039;re trying to do with our franchises like FIFA and Madden and Battlefield,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s great horsepower there, great innovation and Nintendo&amp;#039;s got fantastic branding.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re platform agnostic as a company so if we find something we believe will have success commercially and critically, and has a business model that works for us, we&amp;#039;re in.&amp;quot; Nintendo announced the Wii U at this year&amp;#039;s E3 event in Los Angeles. The successor to the Wii will feature touch-screen controllers that can stream entire games. It is due to be released next year. &amp;gt; Read our hands-on with the Wii U "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
