Co-Driving through Need for Speed: Most Wanted on Wii U

Since the tail end of 2011, a core team of engineers at Criterion has been working with the Wii U. The final hardware launched in November, and Criterion started to scratch its collective noggin and figure out how it would work for Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

This meant missing the Wii U launch, but Criterion Games’ Alex Ward was fine with that during a preview session last week – if Need for Speed: Most Wanted had been at launch, it would’ve lacked all online functionality.

“The reason we didn’t do the game for launch is because the online side of it wasn’t very clear to us,” said Ward. “We weren’t sure how much we could do online or how it was going to be, because obviously Nintendo were making a lot of changes up until their run-up to launch. So we didn’t want to bring the game out at launch on Wii U with no online play.”
