EA's Senior Software Engineer tosses Wii-U in the bushes

[King Sun]

i own a Wii U. i wouldn't buy any game in EA's portfolio for it. all i wanna buy on it are Nintendo style games. if EA wants to sell me Mass Effect put it on the Xbox not on the Wii U.

for the type of games i want on the Wii U the tech specs are irrelevant.

its like do yall honestly think any serious gamer with a Wii U is sitting there with that as their only system crying about third party games like Madden and Fifa?


because they wanted to capture as much of the market share as possible before the other systems launched.

yall are in for a rude awakening if yall think these next generation consoles are gonna come out swinging. its gonna be a slow process with boxes that either are tethered to a monthly subscription or cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $500. the early adapters like me will buy them up but after that sales are gonna be modest till the price hits mainstream levels. a lead of 4-5 million might be the difference come the end of the generation.

Nintendo will be releasing their second wave titles while the competition is putting out launch titles which are typically cross generation ports and games that were designed for the previous generation but had development shifted over late to the next.

Y'all really do like talking about a console you claim is shyt and never want to buy.

Why even start a new thread? Ain't there a Wii bashing thread somewhere that y'all and can the same shyt over and over again about it?

 

[tonyclifton]

i own a wii u

played call of duty. off tv play was the shyt

i think it has potential but i honestly dont really care. i bought it for my older son and he uses the shyt out of it. bring a tear to my eye that hes logging in the same hours i did when i was a kid on mario and sonic racing.
ill probably only play the new zelda and mario games. i most likely would have sold it if i didnt have kids.


that being said

I CANT WAIT for the ps4 durango. no one is touching that machine in this house besides me.

hes right, people dont give a shyt about playing third party games on a nintendo console

that sort of defeats the purpose of having a nintendo console

N64 was the last time real gamers and not casual heads cared about Nintendo

real gamers? You sound like a fakkit right now lil nikka.

Just stop making consoles and give us Mario and the rest of them Nintendo exclusives on PS3, Xbox and Vita.

they really dropped the ball not latching on to this new generation of games like the minecrafts and the angry birds etc.

nintendo should have made it so that was the place u went if u wanted minecraft or any of those low graphic but high playability games. They should have created good console versions of rts games. Games like for example, Kerbal Space Program if anybody has played it, which is pretty simple graphics but has interesting gameplay and could have been translated to wii. They could have got into the market of really dope simulation/semi education games that could be used online for a very fun game experience. Games like the total war franchise or civ games should have been a focus to bring to consoles like wii u and with online support would have been amazing.

We need to plant new shrubs for everything nintendo related. Getting crowded in them bushes.

Nintendo is more likely to die like Sega cause they don't have any products outside of the video game industry to fallback on.

I'm not sure what you been smoking but put that shyt down. Didn't you say the Wii was going to dominate this gen too your thought process is short sighted at best. The xbox sold more units each year it has existed which contradicts what you just wrote here. My little brother did the same until 2yrs ago, so for 5 straight years the ps3 sold more units than the year before. Only system that sells quick fast, then sales taper off quickly has been the wii and wii-u

you understand the Wii sold more units than the Xbox 360 and PS3? its got each of them beat by like 15-20 million units sold.

if you limit the scope to just North America and just years after the Wii was basically abandoned by Nintendo then the Xbox sold more in those years but world wide life to date its like 100 million Wiis to 78 million or so Xbox 360s as of March 2013.

EA and Nintendo's relationship is done for a while and these tweets are not surprising.

The real question is how many developers or companies feel this way.
They botched the launch and won't have a system seller on the console for an entire year. They have good games coming but you cant expect ppl to want to work with you if you have a small instal base and inferior specs.
