Forums - Gaming - EA bringing FIFA 15 to Wii and 3DS, skips Wii U again

I don't find it strange at all. It's EA's usual complete lack of any professionalism.

Wii, Vita, and XBO are all selling WORSE then Wii U. EA, why you do dis, though I really don't care since it is just their yearly Fifa rehash

But don't most of you guys hate EA? Why would you buy their game anyway? Also, it's in Wii. Which has a much larger install base than WiiU. If you're a Nintendo fan why not just get it on that console? 

I will not buy it, but is an important tittle in the European and Latinamerican markets. It is very hard to sell a console here that does not have a soccer game for it, even if it is not a great one, I know a lot of people who have a FutbolStation 3 and bought the PS4 because they want to play the same soccer game with a higher resolution if nothing else. Some will be interested on the Wii U, but when they learn that the console has no soccer game available (every year) they dismiss the Wii U inmediatly.

The funny thing is that the last 2 FIFA games for the Wii are just a rooster update, and they are using the same FIFA12 engine, they could do the same for the Wii U, they did release FIFA 13 for it, so they could reskin and update the roosters a ta-da FIFA 15 for the console, stupid EA leaving money on the table.



Wow... That's pretty stubborn!

we been over this a million times, the WiiU is just not profitable for EA. its a waste of money.

They've never released a decent game on the Wii or Wii U, so obviously people are reluctant to buy their games. It's called reputation and EA has a poor reputation among Nintendo fans. I'm personally surprised people keep buying games with yearly releases, it's the most awful thing in the gaming world (imo). And EA and Ubisoft are the worst offenders of this. 

you forgot activision.

When you consider these sales is it really surprising? WiiU Sku sold the least and would be more difficult/time consuming than an easy Wii port at this point.



 

They're mostly  waiting for the install base, which should spike this year and next from all the Nintendo 1st party games coming out, i don't think anyone can blame them for sitting this year out. I imagian most party's are in the same boat as ubi, with games in the pipe line that are just waiting for more people to get the system first.



Don't you have FIFA 13? People should buy these once a generation.



Not surprised. Even Ubisoft has finished titles for Wii U that they won't release until if/when the install base grows.



I am surprised they are releasing Wii and 3DS versions. Re-skins do make money even though they sell little.
