Well if this is what happened, Nintendo really messed up. Why would they go far enough down this Origin road to make EA start planning around it, then just pull out? it's like the whole SNES-CD thing over again; why can't they get on with anybody?

i think the most probable scenerio is EA demanding this origin thing AFTER those partnership announcements, then nintendo refused.

snes-cd is another story.

It seems odd that a company like EA would think there was a good chance of Origin going on the Wii U without any indication from Nintendo. Still I'm glad Nintendo made the right choice in the end, I just wish they had kept their distance so as not to cause these problems in the first place. I mean EA doesn't have this awful reputation for no reason.

Also Nintendo has been alienating other companies for a while now, they should be sucking up to everyone not burning bridges. I know they don't rely on third parties to the same extent as the other consoles, but why not work at improving relations so their customers have the best possible experience.
