EA doesn't really fill me with confidence as a consumer these days. It's actually pretty humorous to see what is going on right now. I even bought an EA game for the Wii U, Madden 13, and while I have a high tolerance for buying sub par games, that's a game I actually regret purchasing, and that doesn't happen too often.
That said, who ever (if any) comes out with a proper NHL licensed game for the Wii U will receive my money promptly and without a second of remorse.
