So in the last little while, EA has announced Boom Blox Party, DeadSpace Extraction and a Wii specific iteration of Need for Speed, confirmed that Tiger, DeadSpace and their new Wii centric tennis game will use MotionPlus and brought forward family fun potential titles like Nascar kart, Mysims racer and Mysims party, and this is the hatred they get for it?

It seems that unless a company decides to follow up successful PS3/360 entries in to their biggest and tech heavy franchises with Wii entries that probably won't sell as much, they're bad companies.

We should be happy EA has come around so much.

All the original, high-quality titles are not coming to the Wii - that is why I'm complaining. I want to see Wii titles that are *built* for the console - not part of some multi-skew development series.

The *only* originals I can see are:

 - BoomBlox (cute idea, but its really a 'simple' party game - nothing more - and it feels cheap)

 - EA Sports Active (i.e. WiiFit cash-in - and WiiFit will do me thanks).

...where is everything else?

GodFather II? Mass Effect? Dragon Age? Saboteur? Fight Night 4 (still NOT a Wii title!) Brutal Legend? Dantes Inferno? C&C/Red Alert? (now *that would be an awesome Wii title - and where is it?)

I'll tell you what - its an absolute joke. Wii is the milking platform, and all the original, big budget titles (from big budget developers) arrive on every other console (PC, PS3, 360) - yet not the Wii.

...

I have 26 Wii titles sitting on my shelves (just counted), including a few from a friend. There are ZERO EA titles there. I have titles from just about every other publisher - but NONE from EA.

The only EA title I am looking forward to, is the new Harry Potter... and I can just see them doing a job and ruining it. Oh yeah - I had the last one - and its the only Wii title I sold :P

As far as I am concerned, EA can get f***ed. They couldn't give a rats about the Wii, other than seeing it as easy money - which it won't be, because they are not giving us what we really want. See EA - 26 purchases - and ZERO from you.

 

whats to your surprise? since the n64, nintendos third party support has sucked. This is the Wii's third year, and nothing will change. Your best off with a wii60 honestly.
