Yes. Nintendo more needs EA than EA needs Nintendo, so EA can be bolder in request like we sawing in this rumour. But I think they will get some agreement.

It's the other way around.

EA has done fine not supporting NIntendo.

But I think EA will support them early on just incase the console finds some success.

Haha, this is very similar to my thoughts. I've never really cared about their games, but yeah, it would benefit Ninten to have their support.

Specially in Europe, where it's pretty much crucial to have FIFA!

Yeah, truuue dat... Though I wonder if it would even do anything if people can just get it on other consoles. : /

No EA means Konami can push PES on Nintendo fans.

However, I think EA will support the console to test the water.

I really don't care that much for EA, they're not THAT important.

If anything this is actually very encouraging. Not only is EA willing to talk and hash out their differences with Nintendo, it shows that they are interested in the hardware. This tells me that the hardware is good, worth developing for, and is garnering interest from the biggest studio around. All positives. On the negative side, it's EA and they're a bunch of douches. Yeah, they are needed to have a successful console because of all of the titles they have the rights to, but man, if one could succeed without them, I would be all for that because I really hate the way they do business. Back on topic, I think this shows that Nintendo is going the right direction, and the console is going to be as powerful if not more powerful than XBOne and PS4. All good things.

Not even an "unprecedented relationship" quote from EA?

Well they didn't lie. This infinitely small amount of support from EA was really unprecedented.



Signature goes here!

If they are asking that much from Nintendo regarding to sports titles in order to port it, I can't imagine seeing games like titanfall, mass effect, dragon age, etc on the next Nintento console.

Pretty certain NX will initially get FIFA and Madden regardless. To EA, sports titles are essential to building the gaming audience at large. They're trying hard to get Nintendo to acknowledge that.

 After that, I'm sure there's specific titles to port with higher priority. Stuff like PvZ or Unravel are bound to wind up on NX if ports can be done easily. 

I think the hope is pinned on Nintendo being ambitious enough with the NX to give a higher royalty % than MS or Sony in addition to a bundling strategy.

Currently the console market is divided 60-30-10 PS4-X1-WiiU. A scenario in which things now lean 50-25-25 PS4-X1-NX isn't out of the question if Nintendo does things right.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Angelv577 on 23 February 2016

@fleischr

It probably gonna start with FIFA and Madden though the question will be what is going to happen after that. My main concern right now isn't if EA is or isn't gonna support NX but what Nintendo is willing to do to get continuous EA support. If Nintendo isn't willing to bundle their titles or spend money in promoting EA games, the chances of getting support from EA after the first year are slim

Foxxconn was using child labor while producing Wii Us or parts for it.

Foxxconn also produces for Apple, Sony, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Amazon and many more.

Why don't you hold Foxxconn responsible for what they are doing?

Oh, I do. But the incident I'm noting was specifically involving Nintendo products, and Nintendo gave a vague response of "we're looking into it" per their CSR. If Nintendo doesn't hold Foxconn accountable they become accountable themselves and we've never heard anything from Nintendo since on that front.

 

Nice job ignoring the second part of my comment though, the part where I'm directly talking about the fact (not accusation) that Nintendo themselves hide their supply chains while the other two publicly release detailed reports on this issue. Gamers like to proclaim that EA is the devil but Nintendo is no better in terms of business practice. They're just better at actually making games. 

First off, we haven't heard of another child labor incident involving Nintendo since then, so I guess it has been dealt with by Nintendo?

And I was commenting your first part. The way you put it it sounds like Nintendo themselves forced children to manufacture the consoles, and I was pointing out that it was Foxxconn, and that Foxxconn offers their services to many large and popular companies.

Now to comment on Nintendo not being angels, and EA being the devil. I agree that Nintendo isn't innocent and EA isn't the devil in disguise, so I originally didn't want to comment on that.

But since I'm on a roll now, I'll comment on it now.
I'd argue that seeing EA and Nintendo so extremely is only the case with a few, but not the majority.

People (I don't know how many) don't truly see things so extremely, but they'll argue in extremes, because they want to pull you over to their side.
Like in tug o war they'll pull as strong as they can and try to pull you to their side, then the other side will start pulling back stronger, because they want you too. Sadly the truth often is muddled, because both sides are most likely exaggerating, leaving out essential information and being partially untruthful. The longer this continues, more and more people will just be overwhelmed by the extremes and will actually start believing in those extremes, beacuse it's easier then figuring out the truth.

To get back to the topic:
If it is is true that EA and Nintendo are having a meeting, then it is atleast positive that they are talking with each other. Nintendo would benefit from EA producing games for the NX and actually listening to third parties, as they could bring in a broader audience. Some sports game fans might actually like Mario Kart, Smash and Splatoon, and kids on Nintendo consoles will have an easier time growing in to EA sports titles, if they like it.

If EA wants its sports titles or other multiplayer games to be more successful on Ninty hardware, break the wall down and make  online cross platform.
