EA No Longer supporting Wii U

[Rizsparky]

Ubisoft is one of the few publishers that actually give Nintendo consoles pretty good support. I mean, they gave the Gamecube Beyond Good and Evil, Prince of Persia and multiple Tom Clancy games, the Wii Rayman Origins, Red Steel 2, No More Heroes 1/2 (and a bunch of shovelware) and are giving the Wii U Watch Dogs, ACIV and Rayman Legends. They're the last pub I would expect to drop support for the system.

True, but if the cost of development outweighs sales no third party will stick with the wiiu no matter how loyal they've been in the past

whatever, just keep releasing retro / gamecube game ports on 3DS and i'm sold. Wii U is a sum of Wii plus shit minus PS3

Ubisoft said that it costs them "less than a million euros" to port over their games. As long as their games keep selling decently, I'm sure they'll still bring their stuff over to make a tidy profit.

And if not..well there's always Just Dance 5/6/7/8. ;o

I really liked the last Tiger Woods game to hit the Wii motion plus. It's the motion control game I still spend any time playing.
I'd like to see EA make a Wii-u Tiger game. The motion control on the PS3 and 360 is garbage. You need accelerometers to simulate a golf swing.

Wow, EA didn't say anything of the sort, but by all means continue to take as 'news' the idle speculations of FAN GAMING BLOGS.

Jesus, people, get a grip.

This thread has turned into an EA hate thread

Oh god the posts in this thread make me laugh heartily. +1 to p1ngy for pointing out why.


Also, since when did gaming blogs count as a news source? I mean, none of the sources linked to in the blog says anything about EA not making games for the Wii U, just not making BF4 for the Wii U. In fact, now that I think about it, has there ever been any Battlefield games on a Nintendo console? So how does this = no more EA games for Wii U?

The mental gymnastics here are so impressive I think we should start handing out medals.

You mean we aren't handing them out already?

Yeah, I'm not going to take some relatively unknown "news" site without an actual source as the truth. If it is true, though, this is relatively bad for the Wii U. I mean, EA isn't the only publisher out there, but they're one of the largest (Or are they THE largest?), and even if they have had a really bad reputation for the past few years, it's still not good if they won't be releasing anymore games for the Wii U.

Yeah Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age 3 don't matter. Fuck EA!

God people are dumb.

Nah, they're just sheeple.

The last EA game i played was Populous 2 in 1993...after 20 years of not playing their games i'm pretty sure that i can manage without them.

This story is also just a reinterpretation of news about the Frostbite engine

They still make good games?

 

[Janthran]

Well, lots of CoD for Nintendo gamers then.

Does EA even have other popular games?

 

[Satangel]

There will be FIFA. lol

Shitty port or not.

True that, they won't hesitate to port that :/

 

[Veho]

A few.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

A few.

Pfft, I hate all of those, therefore they're bad and EA is worse than the mafia! ;O;

 

[the_randomizer]

A few.

The only good one from those are Need For Speed Most Wanted (newest), Mass Effect 3, but that's it.
