Who cares? EA doesn't make good games. You might as well ask why HBO isn't airing reruns of Honey Boo Boo. EA's shovelware is the last thing Nintendo needs right now. Shovelware hurts brand image. How many people do you know that bought a Wii, a few shovelware titles, and then flat out stopped buying Nintendo games? There's an entire generation of casuals that see Nintendo as a trash tier console developer, because that's the impression the Wii's shovelware gave them.

Did having EA games hurt the PS4?  Does having shovelware like 1-2-Switch hurt the Switch?

Like them or not, EA games are generally very popular and the general public does not consider them shovelware.  It would only help Nintendo to have EA titles on their systems.  There are millions of people who put more hours into Madden or FIFA than any other series.

The funny thing to me is that EA and Nintendo are so much alike, which is probably why they don't get along.  Both are stubborn and want to have things their way.  They both want to arrange the system so that they are the ones in the best position.  They just see things differently.

I just looked at all of EA's Wii games to prove a point, and wound up proving myself wrong. They didn't do as badly as I remember. Most of their games for Wii were reviewed in the low 80's which is a great score.
