Forums - Nintendo - EA sent ME3 on Wii U to die.

They don't even have their resources in mass effect 3 to begin with. Its a different developer. They shouldn't cancel it because people want it and the trilogy will probably come later anyway.

It only makes sense for people who dont value the trilogy and just want to play the third as an action game. It wont sell well on the Wii U anyway, but seriously, they should postpone the game and put out the trilogy.

How can the original Mass Effect come out on PS3 when Microsoft published it? Anyway that is awesome news.

The same way EA was able to publish it on PC.

They either boguht the rights, Microsoft's hold on the rights ran out, or EA used magic. One of those.

But remember those people who said that ME 1 would never be on PS3, they seemed so certain. But nothing is certain!

I own ME2 for the PS3 and I've felt bad for not having started it but now I feel very happy that I didn't. I can enjoy the trilogy from the beginning!

Just don't finish the last 30 mins of the game... I wish I didn't.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Agree. It makes a lot more sense to do the whole thing for wii u. I would ask the game get delayed if it meant getting the trilogy but there isn't a garuntee of that. Was it confirmed if the trilogy has the dlc on disc like this does? There isn't much paid dlc with it but that is kind of a benefit wii u owners get. A tiny benefit. But a benefit.

So ME2 according to you didnt do well on PS3(which is dead wrong BTW because EA and Bioware have expressed positive feelings about that game anyway).


Thats what I was implying earlier though when I said "oh sure at the time ea said "its cool"". I think they said that to save face. If you looked on n4g back in the day rumors came up and articles would top the page. Forums went abalze and the rumor itself wouldn't die. It was like the metal gear solid 4 360 rumors. The way the internet reacted it definitely made it seem like it would sell much better then it did. Now I am just giving my opinion when I say I believe ea were probably disappointed with it. From my view the way ps3 fanboys went on it should have sold far more than it did. As you noted they highlighted the digital copies when they said they were happy but still failed to mention actual figures. But hey thats just guess work. I don't believe the series found tremendous success on ps3 so ea can't really hold it against nintendo. It seems to be forum posters who say "third party games don't sell on nintendo".

As for the vita sales thing, I mentioned that because ea saw 3ds getting off to a bad start and then deemed vita would have better success. People here seem to think this is a conspiracy and it likely isn't (not you, others). If ea see a platform they put faith in selling less software then the system people here think ea have a "secret vendetta" against then they are likely to support wii u and admit they were wrong about nintendo. Even though I still think no such conspiracy exists.

Also I thought people would have seen this before. You are probably aware retailers were listing need for speed but this gave the game away.

thats your problem right there, following rumors, especially N4g rumors. Especially when Bioware had already stated they were happy with the sales (at least digital wise). n4g should be the LAST place to go to get a sense of what the gaming commuinty thinks, those are the worst of the worst, probably worst than IGN. Fact is the game wastn anywhere near as hyped as you are trying to make it out to be and 2nd it still a year late port selling at full price from a series thats missing the first game, no one thought it would even do this well. Anyone who is saying otherwise is lying or trolling. I can say the same thing about some Ninty fans. How much of them said that NMH would sell a mil or more? Madworld, Conduit?? And those were original games. I would actually like to see some quotes from some PS3 fans who said if it would sell what amount.

As for Vita again you are just speculating, show me where they said that Vita would be better for them, its not like the Vita is getting ALOT of support from EA. Madden was kinda half assed and NFS will just be a straight port.

Im with STAGE, but I know this is just greed and trying to get as much money as possible from EA, otherwise what sense does it make to just put out the LAST game on the trilogy for a new console. I do hope the trilogy goes to Wii U just for the fairness of it all.



Well n4g is a sony fanboy heaven. Or it was at the time. They certainly seemed to want the game. There were forums on gamespot going ape. But I do know the internet reaction is nothing like the outside world. That has been proven one too many times. I don't imply quotes in that area but some did seem to be outspoken about the game when it was announced and there were even articles about how 360 had nothing left of note now. Which is completely untrue. That led me to believe it would sell better than it did at the time.

As for vita ea did seem bias towards it when they saw 3ds sales weren't up to their expectations. Ea are known for running before they can walk. I still think if they saw this as pointless it wouldn't be on there but I agree it won't sell. Its the last in a big trilogy about 9 months later. At least I will be happy to play it and thats something I consider worth it in the end.

I already know n4g is Sony fanboy heaven, which is why i avoid it. Of course they were excited, anyone interested in the game with only PS3 would be excited. Dont see the issue with that. You knew that internet reaction doesnt equal real world reaction, but still thought that the game would do gangbusters?? That makes no sense. Just out of curiosity what did you think it would sell lifetime. Cause very few if any thought it would even sell as much as it did. Hell anyone saying more than 800,000 was deemed crazy



I expected it to sell more like sigma 2 did. Since ea never mentioned what the sales figures of digital were it could have for all I know but as far as I'm aware it didn't. Feel free to prove me wrong.

For the wii u I haven't seen much buzz at all. I'm expecting this to tank badly. Its a pity as well because its far better then the rushed sports games with lacking content they usually bring out to launch.

Yeah, Nintendo told EA they can keep their cruddy Origin. So EA got frustrated.
