it's funny you say that since the contract was just re-upped 8 days ago for another 10 years.  Im sure EA negotiated terms in their favor.  It not like it would have mattered anyway.  Don't know why people are so bitter about it.

Cool story bro.

Glad I don't own a wii u, that is all

WiiU owners won't get more shitty, overpriced ports? The horror.

Title needs to be changed to "EA officially Dreamcasting the Wii U"

Apparently we aren't done rubbing the noses of Nintendo fans in this quite yet. The reality is that sometimes two wrongs do indeed make a right. Electronic Arts treating Nintendo owners with the same callous disregard that they themselves were treated to is actually a form of justice. Every supposed crime laid at the feet of Electronic Arts. Was done to them in kind by Nintendo fans this generation, and throughout the last. The specifics of why, or how really are irrelevant. The only thing that matters is as a community they deserve to have this happen to them.

You simply can't make commitments, and then fail to follow through on them. Nintendo fans talk a good game about why it is they don't support third parties, and they will hand out a list of things they want. However when a third party game dares to fill their order to the letter. They basically laugh at the developer for having taken them seriously in the first place. It is actually pretty damn sadistic of them, because a lot of the time the developer that took them seriously. Can't afford the flopped game they get as their reward.

Seriously take a look in a goddamn mirror. You treat third parties like shit, and when one of them stands up for itself, and decides to stop putting up with your nonsense. You guys start acting like your victims. Like you are entitled to treat anyone you want like shit. This wouldn't be happening if you had treated third parties better, and don't pretend like they didn't try. A lot of them did, but you couldn't have cared less. You love them when you can prop them up as window dressing for the console, but the moment it comes time to buy their games. Well you never promised you would do that.

Such as? Dead Space: The On-Rails saturated spin-off? Mass Effect: Late Rip-Off? Need For Speed: Still late and expensive?

I see you rolling out the same tired and flawed argument. Nintendo gamers should go out and buy inferior substandard ports because it wil mean better support in the future. Of course this ignores the fact that it isn't true. Third parties will continue to roll out "test" games until one of them fails and they can point to it as reason for the lack of support.

Capcom. And sales showed it.

I think is strategy is dole out a wordy multi-paragraph post filled with nothing in hopes that no one will call him on his bullshit. I swear it's like reading a speech from a politician. Long and detailed on the surface, but under closer inspection it lacks substance. I can some of his entire post quite simply.

Nintendo fans didn't buy crappy third party games. So they have themselves to blame for the lack of support.
