Forums - Nintendo - Next hardcore EA titles for the Wii

Fight Night 4 is a definate with M+ it could be the best boxing simulator ever.
NHL 2010 with M+ should be released on the Wii, Wii owners deserve good hockey game.

Burnout as well i wouldnt be too suprised.

I would definately get Fight Night and NHL if made properly.

There's the Mikami/Suda EA game...



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

Burnout is the most obvious one I think. It's an excellent and arcade-y racer that would fit the Wii demographics well. But I agree with Zucas, Burnout 3, Revenge were better than Paradise. I'd love Burnout on Wii, won't be as pretty as 360/PS3 but very visceral with the wheel crashing cars off the road.

Don't know about Mirror's Edge. Havn't played it but from what I've seen I don't see how it would benefit any from Wii controls. It's okay if it does but it's not a game people would be going 'Ohh, love to play that on Wii'.

EA has already said EA Sports is taking the lead on Wii so Fight Night 4 with WM+, balance board and online seems very likely. Good! My son could stand to lose a few pounds and that would do it nicely.

NHL? Love to see it but only if it's a serious effort. EA has done great with Madden, FIFA and Tiger but NCAA was a joke and NBA is sub-par. NHL is not a great seller on any system so EA's NHL may be no better than Take 2's. I'd rather Take 2 makes the Wii it's lead platform -- which seems likely since the Wii version of 2k9 NHL still retails for $50 where HD versions are now $30. So you know they're making WAY more profit off Wii....

EA should do for Wii what they do for PC and package last year's games together (IE: Madden, Tiger, FIFA, NBA 08 for $60). Wii has a lot of casual sports fans who would eat that up.

Metal of Honour - Should be put to pasture.

Bioware game - Yes please!!



 

realistically id day dead space,mirrors edge and dantes inferno. thats what i think they mean by bringing over core IP. i really hope they do a freedom fighters 2 :)

EA have always been the best 3rd party on the Wii, stop with the ignoring bullshit.

LOL really? With which titles? MySims?

 

 

Games like Godfather, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 and Boom Blox were some of the earliest third party games to effectively use motion controls. None of these games were huge expenditures on EA's part, but they have talented game designers who really understand how to tap the potential of the wiimote.

 

Well there haven't been any really good third party publishers on Wii, so I'd say EA is definitely the best.

Maybe Capcom is better with Okami and Zack and Wiki but that's pretty much all they have (and Okami was a port).

EA has those games famousringo mentioned plus Madden and Tiger Woods, which were stellar. Hard to argue, there really isn't much competetion on Wii. But if there's a publisher I missed then feel free to mention it, whorenraged.
