This is actually a very good thing for Nintendo fans. If you're picking up Mass Effect 3 on Wii U, you'll have enough time to learn about James Vega, a character introduced in that title. The accompanying prequel anime, Mass Effect: Paragon Lost, was set to launch on Nov. 12th. Depending on when the Wii U comes out, I doubt that would be enough time to play Mass Effect 3 in order to learn about Vega.

The good news is, the anime has now been pushed back to Dec. 28th. If the Wii U launches in November (as we all expect), that should give more than enough time to play through Mass Effect 3. In turn, that will give you all the more reason to check out the prequel anime!
