As a company, they tend to go with what makes financial sense. Why lose money just to spite Nintendo? It seems unlikely.

Yeah, ofcource. But they have made it quite hard for their games to sell, so why say that because their games didn't sell well enough, they won't be making more of them, when they were just crappy ports, that came out many months later than the originals, without any kind of exlusive contendo (mass effect got some), and also release a triology of the mass effect franchise right before mass effect 3 launched on wii u. It's like they didn't want their games to sell (although I don't think that was their intention with it).

I've said it before and I'll say it again, EA is the devil!

It does seem odd in some ways. I mean did Nintendo not give EA enough time with the development kit or something? Or was it a bad time for EA releases, so they weren't releasing anything they could have gone multiplatform on? It makes sense to test the water before they dive in with full support, but Mass Effect 3 didn't seem like the best choice

I think they should have waited to this year to start supporting it. They would have gotten a larger installbase, the games could at least be as good as other versions, and they could have released the games at the same time as the other versions. But I think that at least the mass effect triology game sould be relesed on wii u. I would love a mass effect game, but as far as I understand, they are a bit to story heavy for me to just buy number 3.
