EA Has No Games in Development For Nintendo's Wii U

Less than two years after vowing to deliver on an "unprecedented partnership" with Nintendo, gaming giant EA is quiet on the Wii U front.

"We have no games in development for the Wii U currently," company spokesperson Jeff Brown told Kotaku yesterday. He did not rule out the chances of EA developing for the Wii U again. EA publishes many of gaming's biggest franchises, including Madden, The Sims, and Battlefield.

Goddamn. This kind of isn't surprising after everything we've heard, and at the same time I'm floored to just see them lay it out like that. Seems like EA has always tried to have some presence on everything. To just drop support altogether is, well... almost unprecedented. I hope one day we hear the real story about what happened between EA and Nintendo because this is turning into quite a spectacle.

In other news, water is wet.

Now that i am a Wii U owner. I can finally see that it is a conspiracy. We need some investigative journalism on this.

Also badgenome. What are you doing at Kotaku?

It is known.

EA blacklisted Nintendo. The only reason they are making anything for 3DS is its userbase/continual sales force it to in terms of Madden/FIFA contractural agreements. 2014 that will at least be in place for Wii U.

But likely nothing more.

Zero games?....so, not even FIFA?

wow not even madden or fifa??? :O

Masturbating to pictures of the Sorceress. I went there to educate myself about how I objectify women by playing video games and noticed that somehow this non-gender-related article slipped through the editorial cracks.

I assume they count them as games. So yea. Not even those. 

Oh we need this. 

unprecedented partnership means zero support

time to update the dictionary
