There’s a rumour floating around the internet that suggests that EA were desperate for Nintendo to use its Origin system with Wii U. We’ve already heard that Nintendo was consulted by third-party developers to help improve the online experience with Wii U, and EA were apparently one of these developers.
EA became greedy and asked Nintendo to make the Nintendo Network for Wii U officially part of Origin and run Origin’s interface and netcode. Nintendo declined, and according to the source, lost EA’s support for the console. The individual who posted the rumour also stated that Valve are hard at work creating a Left 4 Dead prequel for current generation formats.
Well, this would kind of explain there butth--.... reserved approach in regards to their Wii U support.
