Patrick Liu, the lead developer of Battlefield 3 has said that him and his team "definitely see potential in the Wii U," although they're still looking for that "breakthrough idea for how to exploit the new controller." He's also quick to jump to the defence of the system:
Nintendo has surprised us so many times before. I was one of the sceptics when the Wii came out and it proved us wrong. I think they're going to prove a lot of sceptics wrong again.
It is very likely that Battlefield 3 is on its way to the system and it's nice to see one of the developers is so eager for a creative use of the controller.
