Forums - Gaming Discussion - CVG: "Nintendo was dead to us very quickly" after the Wii U, says EA source

naruball on 22 January 2014

Thanks guys. Well if the game was fine, wouldn't it make sense to have legs after it receives some heavy price cuts?
Based on the current prices (http://www.gamecrawler.co.uk/compare/mass-effect-3---special-edition-nintendo-wii-u/B00A76KA3E), why is not selling now? I mean if it's a good game and doesn't have any bugs, it should have sold well in the long run. Oh well. Pricing it at $60 was definitely idiotic.

LOL, EA was just considered the worst gaming company of all time and they are trying to make excuse after the horrible version of Mass Effect 3 for wii U. Enough said


Ignoring the fact that the WiiU is selling so badly that some stores no longer stock it.

Sorry to target just you, but so many people in this thread are using the age old classic of "Yea, but your comments are worthless cause your crappy!". That doesn't work. Sure, EA are terrible, but they still have a point and their marketing being dire still does not change the view big publishers have on the WiiU; a dead kiddy console with no potential.

Harsh words but true story. 



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Gross generalization. I played kingdoms of amalur reckoning and had tons of fun. Are you saying that I am cancer for the Gaming community? I'm sorry, but this is a terrible attitude to have.

Well it is a few educational games away from competing with a leapfrog system.

the real news here is that EA thought that the 60$ Mass Effect 3 WiiU port was a solid effort


Mass Effect 3 Wii U was a good quality port. Let's criticize EA for releasing the game for $60. For not including all three Mass Effects. Not for quality. Not in this game.

Can anyone tell me what was wrong with Mass Efeect 3?

The ending. :P

Okay, i am assuming you are talking about sales for the Wii U version. Here are some things one can speculate on. A certain percentage of people who own a Wii U, also another platform such as PS3, 360 or PC where the game exists along with its predecessors. So, someone like me who already played it on PS3 would not pick it up again. Another one could be that it is heavily story based franchise, so if someone hasn't played the previous games, they are likely to be lost and lose some enjoyment of the game and also no saves carrying over from previous versions of the game. Considering the remaining subset of people who only ever play on Wii U and also interested in third person shooter/rpgs, the sales are not considerably bad given the inflated price of the port. 

Bit off-topic. Wonder if EA will beat everyone else this year too for worst company in America.

Battlefield is a thousand times more a kid game than SMB3DW or Wind Waker are, try again EA.


Hmmmm... okay, I see some reasoning in that... NOT. Or is "kid" the new "gay" or something?
