Umbra is now officially partnered with Nintendo to supply middleware tools for the Wii U.

With the partnership, a version of Umbra's rendering optimization middleware can be used by Wii U developers. The middleware is currently being used in the upcoming Wii U version of Mass Effect 3.

Their middleware has been used in games like Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, the Dragon Age games, among others. Seems like solid middleware.
