It is true that EA is not giving good games for the Wii and I wish they would. However, I think Nintendo needs to take some of the blame for all this third party problem. Historically, they have shown that they have had troubled relationships with third parties. Sony and Microsoft probably give a little more help on marketing than Nintendo does.
At the beginning of this generation, the third parties almost dropped the PS3 for development and were going to do all HD exclusives on the 360. Kaz Hirai had to do alot to keep the 3rd parties from doing that (apparently, begging on his knees according to an article).
I think it's time Nintendo show some more effort in this area if they want to have a more solid 3rd party foundation. |
You are right in a way, that Nintendo don't try as much as Sony and Microsoft to land exclusive 3rd parties(Probably only with Capcom). However, when EA release a game like dead space on Wii, which is on rails and really not that good, and thenflame nintendo that it didnt do well... that is just low man!
And even though tiger woods performed the best on the wii every year, they didnt give it any attention this year round! It was like nonexistent! Dont mention that they've been on Ninendo's back for a year now, without really utting any effort...
I could understand activision for example if golden eye doesnt perform, but looking at preorders i'd say it's doin pretty alright! I mean it does look like a good solid game, and it shos that if you put a bit of effort, u can get them.
Even with all that, i think that it's too late for some 3rd parties to do well on the wii, given how lackluster there games have been. Other than Capcom, Sega, Ubisoft, and Activision, i see other 3rd party games flopping hard after they've lost so much credibility. Especially EA
