Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I want everyone to thank EA for improving the 3DS library and sales

I agree, thank you EA for resisting to put shovelware on the 3DS. A big thank you.

Thanks EA.



Thanks EA, really...

And Dead Space Extraction was not the only example, there are others (for example the basketball game with celebs, forgot its name). One case could be coincidence, but there is a clear pattern for EA and the Wii from a certain point onwards.

As to companies possibly sabotaging games on purpose to gain certain objectives - those who think it is unlikely and mad obviously do not know this world we live in well enough. People embezzle and murder for far less money than the kind of money these companies roll around.

You must mean NBA Jam. This game had an interesting history. There was hype after the E3 announcement, but then it got bad news after bad news. It's as if EA was scared that the game would sell on the Wii and tried their best to achieve the opposite. I don't remember all the details, but it eventually came down to the 360 and PS3 getting superior versions announced for half the price or something along those lines.

I remember that stuff...basically the game was announced and people were hyped. Then EA said it wouldn't have online. Then EA said it would probably come to other consoles. Then EA said it was coming to PS3/360 for a lot cheaper with online. Then the game released for wii and no one cared about it. Something like that...

Don't care about a half arse portable Madden.

A good portable FIFA however is a different story, get it done EA.



EA is behind a number of great games and it would be foolish for them to stop making sports games on yearly basis when a bunch of people like to consume that product on yearly basis. That essentially funds their development of other riskier games. You would be getting news reports about EA studios shutting down at the rate of THQ if it wasn't for the sports titles in EA keeping their lights on when one of their more riskier things fails.



Yeah, but what about Madden 12.5 for Wii U? As a Nintendo fanboy they don't deserve my thanks.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


I also would like to thank EA for not giving the 3DS the horrific, abysmal, vomit inducing, and unplayable Boom Blox. You guys have really helped the 3DS library.

The best part? The Wii version still sold the best.



Love and tolerate.
