Now Nintendo should make Mario Football (Gridiron), and use the WiiU pad to plot strategies etc.

If it's successful, it will force EA's hand. They'd be forced to play ball (no pun intended).


Looking at Fifa 13 its sold 11 million on the PS3/360 and only 500k on the Wii and 70k on the Wii U.

A direct competitor launching on the weakest platforms for the franchise isn't going to make them bat an eyelid. They dont need to put fifa on any nintendo platform for it to be a massive hit.

Still, I thought EA were obliged to develop the game for every available platform as part of the licensing deal with Fifa.

The fact that Mario Strikers Charged sold at least 2.5 times as many FIFA game released on the Wii makes me think that people ARE interested in such games, if done correctly.

To add to this, the WiiU has an advantage that would increase gameplay experience, through use of the mandatory gamepad as mentioned...

To be honest, it makes me wonder if EA is pissed off that Nintendo can make higher selling sports titles on their consoles than ones that EA spend lots of money on licensing...
