That's what I am thinking ...
EA may have seen an opportunity to expand its Origin service to the Wii U and offered financial incentives and increased support, and Nintendo probably turned them down because they didn't want to give up control especially to a company with as many consumer relation problems as EA; and steping away meant that any of this extra support would be removed from the console's line-up.
Ultimately, it is Nintendo not allowing EA to screw over their customers for a minimal increase in over-all third party support; which seems like a reasonable trade-off to me.
