Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Gamers: Do you even care that we are not getting EA games in the foreseeable future?

I have to say, that I do not care. I do not remember the last time that I played an EA sports game, unless it was at a friends. I really do not know or care about anything else that they have.

 

Do you guys? Is this a big deal, beyond the few games we are going to lose? I am sure if the Wii U picks up, they will put some games on it. Especially the more casual aimed ones.

Honestly, I did buy and enjoy Madden 13 on Wii U.  I had long since become bored with the annual Madden retreads on XBox 360 and had stopped buying them years ago.  Drawing my own hot routes and calling plays from the Gamepad got me to pick-up Madden 13.  With no new Madden coming out for Wii U this year, that means I will be going back to skipping Madden all together.  So yeah, speaking for myself, it bothers me.  By the way, I also have bought Mass Effect 3, Fifa 13, and Need For Speed Most Wanted on Wii U since launch.

Not really Nintendo platforms have always been about the exclusives don't know why any one thought that would change this generation.

Because of the promises publishers like EA made?

Nope. I never expected to buy EA games for Wii U in the first place.

The Star Wars franchise will be missed. It's hard to do a full GameCube comparison when Wii U is lacking a Rogue Squadron equivalent.

Maybe the next Star Fox game will be made by Factor 5? They had some cancelled games developed for Nintendo themselves.

Unfortunately, Factor 5 has been closed down. For some reason, second-party developers seem to have spotty track records after leaving Nintendo...

I still am holding out for a Star Fox by either Platinum Games or Treasure.

Last game I bought from EA was NHL 2003 on Xbox, so I don't care; but it would help the Wii U to have their games available on the system.

I wanna see some Japanese love for Wii U. I don't really play western developers games, and when I do, it's on PC.
