I'm not suggesting that we categorically refuse to support publishers based on what they do or do not do. If EA ever made a game that i wanted to buy (and put it on a platform i owned), i would buy it, despite being EA.

The point i'm trying to make (now with less vitriol as i've calmed down a touch) is that you can never trust these guys. Be grateful for what's there, buy it if you like it, but know that even the "good" ones (like Warner Bros, Capcom, Sega, and Ubisoft) are going to screw the Nintendo base at times and for unfathomable reasons. Fairness simply doesn't exist for us (Ports to handhelds, in your example, are another matter entirely. Handheld owners should simply expect screw-age from Western third parties in general)

or far more likely...

...nintendo console owners such as yourself simply don't want these games.


Or just as likely, Nintendo console owners are multi-console owners. In the case of Injustice and NFS:MW, both of which I own on Wii U. I had to make a concerted effort to buy both games. I had to wait a half a year for NFS, most people in my situation would have bougt the game on PC, 360, or PS3.  I own all those platforms. In the case of Injustice, I literally could have bought the PS3 or 360 version twice before I even had the opportunity to buy the Wii U version. The most discouraging part of this is that ultimately I had to work harder just to buy a DLC gimped version of each. NFS for Wii U had no DLC support and Injustice has had poor DLC support and gimped on-line play. This is why 3rd party games have such a hard time on Nintendo platforms. You literally have to work to buy games that are often inferior versions to their more readily available counterparts.
