Except Nintendo makes the best games in the industry, while EA's output is a mixed bag at best. :p

Nintendo doesn't  even come close to EA's high quality games. I'll take Mass Effect and Battlefield over Mario and Zelda anyday.

And I'll take even a second tier Nintendo franchise like Pikmin or Kirby over anything EA has.

Opinions.

Incredible stuff.

Yes but some are accepted more than others and I think EA has a lot more fans than Nintendo atleast for the high quality of their games.

Uhh... No.

How many people are going to remember Mass Effect in 15 years? How about 30?

You mean one of the greatest RPGs of the 7th generation? Yeah I'm sure it will be forgotten pretty quickly. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

EA released many amazing games in 2013 like DRMCity SimCity and Crashfield 4 Battlefield 4. The industry would be dead without EA's amazing games.

BF4 was great on PS4. It was plagued by technical problems but the game was a lot of fun.

Indeed, watching your game glitch is way more fun that actually playing the game.

They're nothing like EA for 2 very important reasons:

1) They don't treat their staff like shite

2) Their games are of the utmost quality in all areas and have a ridiculous amount of polish

100% agree.
I'll also like to add:
Both are mismanaged
Both make games nobody asked
Both fails to meet forecast
Both have angried fans

In conclusion, both are failing to deliver the quality content people ask.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

"Nintendo news. Remember when Mario was not a yearly release? Well I do, Mario was a game that we waited with anxiety for years,It got us crazy! Nowadays we have one per year! Just like some EA franchises."

lol, what?

That's right, Nintendo is the new EA. Take some time... let your mind process it. It's quite a hard journey to acceptance but we can do this together guys.

If you need evidence about what I am saying you just need to see the recent Nintendo news. Remember when Mario was not a yearly release? Well I do, Mario was a game that we waited with anxiety for years,It got us crazy! Nowadays we have one per year! Just like some EA franchises.

Not only that but Nintendo is embracing DLC in their games, something that some years ago would have been considered heresy...

And you know how EA is an evil company right? Well Nintendo isn't too far behind in evil practices... if you need proof, come and read this: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=178963&page=1#

Even Maelstrom agrees with this and he already did an article about it, what further proof do you need guys?

I know what you are all thinking now, you are all in the "denial" phase. Don't worry I'm already at phase 4... depression. It's a long road but you'll get where I am in no time.

EDIT: I am posting the Maelstrom article for everyone to see. He makes some good points. http://seanmalstrom.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/nintendo-x-ea-or-why-nintendo-will-remain-lost-in-the-wilderness/

Wow, you must have dual personality! First you praise my article, then you ostracize it, now you use it as reference?

You talk like being pro-Nintendo was some kind of disease that people deny at first. Take it easy

Nintendo's behavior has actually improved along the time. They were much worse in the 80's. I guess the DLCs and the 1-Mario-per-year practice is a normal reaction from a company that doesn't enjoy anymore the easy- business it had 2 or 3 decades ago.

In spite of these moves, Nintendo is not as greedy nowadays. They are entering in a new cycle (new facilities, HD development, etc.), which is a real challenge for them. Those bad moves may not be the bravest way to face the challenge but at least they are doing it. Well or badly, they are moving forward.

So, I would say EA is not as bad as you think and the same thing applies to the "new Nintendo". In these kind of environments (videogaming), where things grow exponentially, it is harder to have a decent performance in the current level than to champion an older one. Nintendo is finally entering in the 7th-gen-level with Wii U (please don't take me wrong, it's just the truth) and thus a new world of possibilities is opening for them. They need to embrace them. If they do it successfully, Nintendo fans will be amazed by experiencing Nintendo's quality on modern gaming.
