Open world racing video game Need for Speed: Most Wanted will be available for Wii U in 2013, Electronic Arts has confirmed.
"We are very excited to deliver Need for Speed: Most Wanted on more platforms and to more gamers. Starting Oct. 30, Most Wanted will be available on X360, PS3, PS Vita, Android and iOS. Then in 2013, Nintendo fans will be able to experience what it means to be Most Wanted amongst their friends on the Wii U," an EA representative said to Polygon.
The game was rumored to come to Wii U, but got more impetus after it showed up on Nintendo's latest earning report among the list of upcoming third-party Wii U titles.

Guildford, UK-based Criterion Games developed the current version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. The game is published by EA. It features "totally expansive open-world city to drive though, Need for Speed: Most Wanted gives players absolute freedom to where and how they drive," Aussie-Gamer reported.
