How can you suddenly decide there is no audience before the console is released? Don't even mention the Wii, because EA made this statement prior to the Wii U's launch, which was obviously during the Wii's lifetime.

Not before, after. Look at the sales of Fifa 13, Mass Effect 3 and Madden NFL 13. Complete flops, all of them.
But hey, at least New Super Mario Bros U reach 1 million sales. Yay for Nintendo.

Ahh, but who is to blame for their being flops, hmm? Surely not the brilliant, hardworking men and women who decided that Madden NFL 13 and FIFA 13 for Wii U would only get 6 months of development time a piece, or that Mass Effect 3 should be priced for $60 dollars, with no DLC, and release *after* the trilogy version on other platforms which were $60 for 3 games with all DLC.

Surely the people who made those decisions are perfectly rational business geniuses who gave 110%, only to be defeated by the wretched, ungrateful Nintendo fans who took these labors of love and spat on them.

Wii U owners are lucky they got the games at all. Any further delays and the games would have sold much worse and would have been even more unprofitable for EA.

Yes... Wii U owners are definitely lucky to get the shaft from EA with rushed late ports with no DLC support. Ungrateful bastards.

So we're second class citizens. Gotcha.

You'd best stop posting now.

Is that a threat? There's nothing wrong with my post.

Madden NFL 13, Mass Effect 3 and FIFA 13, these are all games that came out MONTHS before on the other consoles. The fact that EA even decided to port them over should make everyone greatful. The fact is these games didn't sell well. Late port or not, those poor sales are no excuse. Mass Effect 2 on PS3 is a perfect example of a late port with great sales. So don't go complaining if Battlefield 4 doesn't make it to Wii U. There are obvious reasons for it.



The more games on the Wii U the better. I think EA wants to make as much money as CoD does so they will port the next Battlefield to WiiU considering that the next CoD is likely to be on WiiU.

With all that said, however, since the original Modern Warfare game I can't stand those types of games. The last good CoD game in my opinion was World at War.

This is kind of statement is silly. And threatening coming from a mod.

PC doesn't get Madden at all. likely because there's just not a great market for it from data they gathered. That doesn't mean EA hates PC, they've put the best versions of Battlefield, Mirrors Edge, and Mass Effect by far.

There's lots of reasons for the subpar ports. It's not exactly easy to port because the power balance of the Wii-u is heavy on the GPU instead of CPU which is weaker. Meaning you have to take a different perspective when optimizing for the wii-u. Early PS3 ports from X360 were godaweful too.

The fact that they came out months later is the reason they sold so poorly.

When will they finally release a game on  a Nintendo with all the features found in the other games AT THE SAME TIME OF RELEASE?

There is always a 'but' factor with these games they call 'support. It is mass effect, but no dlc, a year later, and you can get 3 mass effect games for the same price.

It is madden 13, BUT, the engine is the same as the PS2 as opposed to the one we just made that changes the entire game, and there are fewer features, while releasing 3 months after all the other versions.

EA obviously has an axe to grind these days, Nintendo is nto infallible, but this shit is just ridiculous.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

I do not think you understand what a port is. A port is game that retains its features and sometimes adds onto it.

A port is not gimping the game by using older engines than the other versions on PS3/360 and cutting out critical features. This is what EA did to their games.
