Im not buying it, not because i dont think EA wouldnt do something like this, but why JUST Nintendo? Why not, Sony and MS?? Why werent they approached about Origin? If it is by some chance true, then good on Ninty, this would have been a crap deal that would have gained them little is anything at all.

Because Sony and Microsoft have well-established networks that they won't want anyone horning in on. Nintendo's building a unified system basically from scratch, so it was EA's opportunity to control the only one of the big three who is really looking for help.

PSN vs Monster Hunter? WTF?

Something about Sony not updating Ad Hoc Party, or supporting it in the West, or something, that Capcom got all pissed off about.

As for the topic at hand, this makes a lot of sense about how we've suddenly seen a flurry of articles about EA games for the Wii U: how Mass Effect 3 is suddenly being ported by a third-third party (not BioWare), and how Madden and FIFA are suddenly missing features that the PS360 versions have.

Bioware would never have ported the game themselves.

If Nintendo bent over to EA for Origin, it would mean killing off other third party services like Uplay and Steam. This sounds very selfish on their part. Why discontinue support for a system (that hasn't launched yet) because the manufacterer won't pander to our requests?

I agree. As I said in the other thread F*** EA. The Wii won without them. The Wii U can do it as well.

Sometimes I wish Nintendo would take a strong arm response to some of these trashy, bad mouthing devs and their bad intentions. Nintendo you take the upper hand while they still have it and smack some of these obnoxious companies around, for their fans that keep getting short handed if nothing else.

They should tell EA that if they aren't going to release quality titles on the system then they aren't needed on the system. Take the initiative. Once again, the Wii did fine without them.

If Nintendo told off EA (and other devs) then it would only fuck Nintendo up in the eyes of the hardcore even further, The hardcore goes where the games are, and while you are right, Nintendo could support a console on their own, they need all the support they can get. This is why Iwata and Reggie have essentially stripped naked and bent over to third parties this gen, taking their every command lol.

They smacked bad mouthing companies around in the 80's and 90's. Look at their support from SNES to N64 to see how that turned out. Long story short, it's not a good business model.

As for Origin, Nintendo exclusively supporting that would alienate other third parties, but Nintendo not supporting it would alienate EA. What they need to do is work out a deal so that Origin is on the system, but other publishers have their networks as well.

Seems too in-depth to be fake...and with recent EA/Wii U software developments, it really explains everything.

IT really is a shame. EA tried to pull what Sony did in the early 90s but to a lesser extent... Unbelievable

Business...

Why waste time with one of your premier (not in my opinion*) development houses doing a purely technical job when you can assign one of your cheaper teams to do it? Bioware need to be churning out the next Dragon Age/Mass Effect project as quickly as possible, not to mention that a certain portion of them is now tied up with the bomba that is SWTOR.

so they figure they would have more leverage...okay that does make sense. Still, i dont believe everything i read online, but thats just me.
