It wouldn't have sold much on wii u anyway.

I never liked the UFC games, this doesn't bother me at all. But what does bother me is EA not bringing ANY sports games to Wii U. I think eventually another dev/publisher will fill the void.

It's Nintendo's job to fill the void and they are currently doing an awful job.

so you think it's nintendo job to do that but it's not MS and sony's job to do that on their respective platforms?

MS and Sony doesn't need to, third parties are doing it for them. 

I like Nintendo games, but as a company, it's frustrating how they don't seem to understand that they need to release more games to offset the lack of third party support. Poor third party support has been a reality since 1996, it's just worse now than its ever been. You would think they had some plan in case this would happen. Nope. They didn't invest where and when they had to, they didn't foresee or prepared for this, now they are paying the price. Worse, they are not even acknowledging that it's a problem.

Why does EA keep lying when we all know the true reason? saying this nonsense is even worse than keeping quiet, it only burns EA's image even more (if that's possible).


New franchise= new engine. They have a good reason.

It's not because of the Wii U's power. It's because we are talking about EA and Nintendo. They don't want to do it.



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

Im not.

Ive seen the videos. X is a good lookin game, sure... But to say EA as a company is incapable of pushing out anything on the same level as X (or 30% of, as you say) is incredibly silly.

Battlefield 4 on PS4, a cross-gen launch title, already blows away a lot of games on the market. The character models in EA Sports UFC are simply incredible. I mean, look.

You actually get a sense of just how ugly Forrest Griffin really is.

If the Wii U cant handle this, without significant effort going into a port (that wont be worth the funds), then the Wii U will miss out. Same thing just happened with Arkham Knight.

Not true, theres no point when they have a new engine. Even Epic  told Nintendo to use the old engine because of that.

Maybe we can say that both points are right. I mean do you remember how they spoke about the Wii U and that they want fast money?

Wii U consumers wont give them the money they demand for the effort they've put into their new games. That money is pretty much on the Xbox and Playstation brands. Nintendo missed that boat a long time ago. Sega had the same issues with third parties and thats why the third parties left them and went to Playstation. I'm sure EA has problems with Nintendo but when it comes to next gen, Nintendo is just not in it. They are in their own next gen and thats just fine for them. They should've understood fifteen years ago that third party matters.

I don't care what it looks like, it's how it plays. I didn't like EA Sports MMA's gameplay.
