This is a no apologies thread on the real reason why Nintendo fans seem to dislike EA, and there are many reasons to do it.
Firstly and probably the main reason is the PR bullshit. Why is this the main reason? It should be really simple to understand, no one likes to be bullshitted by anyone, because the person doing the bullshitting has to have the arrogance that they can get away with (and nobody likes arrogance) and if the person who is being BS knows that they are being BS then they automatically think that the person doing the BSing thinks they are stupid or of lesser intelligence (which the person doing the BSing has to think), so we end up with an arrogant person who thinks you are stupid. Fact of the matter is no one likes to be fed BS, no one likes when politicians bullshit them, when salesmen bullshit them or even when their parents bullshit, so why all of a sudden should EA bullshit be accepted.
Secondly is the baiting, why talk about unprecedented support then release little to no games on the system, to me this is the equivalent of flame bait threads and a user can be banned for something like that on vgchart. Lets say for example that someone did spend their money on a wiiU expecting to play their favorite EA games then EA turns their back on them, I think they would have a very valid reason to be upset, again no one likes to be baited.
Just look on this site many users favorite post are " I am reporting this thread", because somehow they are offended by internet threads that take jabs or jokes about their favorite console or bait threads. But someone who has actually spent their hard earn money should not take offense from a company that baited them, that is just ridiculous. Do you think they should be jumping for joy?
Thirdly look at the quality of the games released by EA and did anyone expect better sales from these games, ME 3 port no trilogy, gimped Madden, Fifa 12. Now if the early adopters of the wiiU are long time Nintendo fans who have been there since the Nes days which probably averages an age of 25 and up (just look at the average age of Nintendo fans on this site) you think they would not know if they were getting a quality game from a poorly rushed port, or a good deal from bad deal. You really think the average Nintendo fan would not recognize these things (which ties back to my first point of being BS). Oh but Most Wanted, anybody that has been playing NFS since the late 90's till this day like myself can tell you about that Most wanted game.
Now as for my personal opinion on the whole EA vs Nintendo matter, I believe EA as a company has right to do what it wants, if they don't want to support Nintendo they are totally free to do so. It is Nintendo I believe were either too naive or too stupid to think that they could have gotten unprecedented support from a western developer. The west would first support a western base console and let the console from the east die for obvious economic reasons.
However Nintendo is not Sega, or Sony or MS where 3rd parties can make or break their consoles, that is not to say that Nintendo can support a console all on their own what they have to do is strengthen their relationship with Japanese developers because if they lose them well.
