Guys, EA is just looking at the NPD results of Nintendo developed games and are following in their footsteps. They are not making creative games nor are they trying to develop games that fill in the genres that are not developed by Nintendo or other third parties.

MySims is more related to Animal Crossing than The Sims, a game that is already a hit with casual and core PC gamers.

EA is developing EA Fitness because Wii Fit has been a Megaton Seller.

Now they are developing Nascar Kart which is a Mario Kart clone. Everyone already knows how well Mario Kart is selling.

Geez, I wonder what EA is going to copy next? I honestly hope their strategy fails. They only see the Wii as a revenue stream. Instead of a gaming console. This is why the HD consoles receive more investment than the Wii. EA just needs to invest in the Wii and look for original titles or treat the Wii as a gaming console like the Xbox 360 and PS3. The Wii gamers like myself would not mind a Command and Conquer game on the Wii in SD nor would we be disappointed with a SD version of Dead Space. But unfortunately, EA is not willing to try. They'd rather clone all of Nintendo's games and make money than put forth any kind of effort.

EA's executives need to be fired. A kid could have come up with the copy what Nintendo is doing strategy.

Now why should EA execs be fired? I bet this game will bring them a nice profit. They made a nice profit with mysims and most likely they will get at least some money from EA fit.

SD-versions of C&C and Dead space might not bring profit to the table, so those titles aren't coming.

 

Executives that allow developers to become lazy should be fired. They should encoruage them to be more creative. When the PS2 was the top selling console, EA did not create their version of Final Fantasy did they?

SD-version of C&C and Dead Space could have worked. Both control schemes were already available. Medal of Honor: Heros 2 improved on the control scheme developed for Metroid Prime 3 and The Wii remote functions just like a mouse on the 2d plane. Therefore mimicking the mouse contols of the PC RTS games would be simple. If you do not think so, Just turn on your Wii and use the web broswer. But alas, EA will not even try so we will never know.

By the way, their is a Wii version of Suda 51 and Shinji Mikam horro game being published by EA. If EA can publish a Wii version of this game then why can't they publish SD versions of the other games? It's not like they do not have the resources, developers.
