Bioware is "thrilled" to release their first-ever game on a Nintendo platform, the critically-acclaimed Mass Effect 3. The sci-fi epic will be making its Nintendo debut as a Wii U launch title, whenever that launch may be. We've got the first screenshots of the Wii U version of the title courtesy of Bioware right here, and we've got to say it's looking pretty promising so far.

As you can see in this image, players will be able to use the Wii U's tablet controller not just as a map, but as an alternate way to deploy their powers and grenades.

The Wii U edition of the game will come with the Extended Cut DLC and an interactive backstory to fill the Nintendo loyal in on what they've been missing.

As these screens clearly display, the game is still gorgeous looking on Nintendo's latest.

We're all excited to try out Bioware's sci-fi epic on Nintendo's shiny new console, and you can bet that we'll have tons of coverage of Mass Effect 3, the Wii U's other launch titles, and the console itself whenever it releases.
