Everything EA did was wrong. need for speed was the less bad but still really bad because it was 6 months late. mass effect 3 at the same time and price as mass effect trilogy everywhere + worse versions of fifa and madden shows EA couldn't care less.


At least they brought their main franchises. And since when is a game completely unplayable/useless just because it's 6 months late? 

Square-Enix, Capcom, and Konami are two faced liars they pretend they are cozy with Nintendo but will help Sony at the smallest drop of a hat. 

Console's not selling at all in Japan? Don't worry Sony, here comes Square-Enix to give you Kindgom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV. Launch not selling so great? Don't worry, here's Dragon Quest Heroes to get the system rolling. 

Meanwhile Nintendo can sell 100 million units of Wii and not even be worthy of a project like Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core or Final Fantasy Dissidia. Nope, Sony gets that too. 

IMO Japanese developers are just as bad, probably worse than Western devs. At least Western devs, while misguided sometimes will listen and take Nintendo seriously if there's a userbase there. EA brought made EA Active specifically for the Wii, supported the launch of WM+ with Tiger Woods and Pro Tennis. 

The Square side and Konami IMO are the biggest Sony cheer leaders on the planet, it's almost like they'll support Nintendo at the absolute bare minimum and they'll do it holding their noses all the time. 

EA gets crapped on, but how about Kojima? He's a huge hypocrite, shows up during the 3DS' demo reel, petetions for Snake in Smash Brothers (even though the Wii never even sniffed a proper MGS) game. After MGS3D is announced he goes and announces a full MGS collection for Vita with MGS3 (nice). MGS3D is one game at full price and a crappy port plagued by slow down at that whereas Vita gets MGS2 + 3 in one package for the same price. Then the 3DS even though it trounces the Vita doesn't get any other MGS title even though the PSP got multiple Metal Gear games. 

Western devs I think just view Nintendo as kind of like the odd kid at school, but they'll hang out around with him and are generally nice. They're not going to go out of their way to help the kid, but they're not dicks about it either. If the kid is nice to them generally they'll be nice in return. Japanese devs are more two-faced, I think it's about time they take some flak. 


Just laying the smackdown...
