Need For Speed: Rivals executive producer Marcus Nilsson has explained why the impressive racing game is skipping Nintendo’s latest home console, Wii U. Nilsson firmly believes that a Wii U version of the popular racer wouldn’t secure a reasonable investment for the company and therefore he doesn’t think that it’s worth bringing it to the console.
“From an EA perspective, we look at different console strategies and different platforms and what makes sense for return of investment, what makes sense from tech development and also what do people want to work on. In this particular case, for Rivals at least, Wii U is not one of the platforms.”

In short: EA wont let us.
In short Wii U is a piece of shit from a standpoint of any 3rd party company, even ubisoft is not making some of their games for it
U r a piece of shit
i always known EA was garbage… (-.-)
Ubisofts recent revealed games are all for mobile or tablets or are ports from handhelds (liberation and .. not exactly hurting the WiiU there. Only hit is Valiant Hearts which would have done excellent IMO on the WiiU.
DID YOU JUST SIDE WITH THE WORST COMPANY IN AMERICA
REALLY DID U ,,THATS SOME SERIOUSY DERANGED LEVELS OF FANBOY YOUR SO SCARED OF WIIUS DOMINATION OVER NIT NEXT GEN 4
YOU CUDDLE UP TO EA GAMES
THATS LIKE DROPPING A HUGE THUBBING COCK INTO YOUR MOUTH SUCKING VIOLENTLY AND THEN SAYING YOU AINT GAY
IDIOT DULLSHOCKER SHUT THE FUCK UP EA ARE A JOKE
Worst company in America? You think EA is genuinely the worst company in America?
Oh sure, the banks are screwing people over, leaving them with no money or home, and are the ones who flushed the economy down the toilet but that’s nothing. EA made online passes that you have to pay a little extra for in our optional pastime so they’re worse, right?
The crowd has spoken.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/04/09/ea-named-worst-company-in-america-again
The crowd is a bunch of spoilt little shits who can’t look past their hobby.
Banks ruin lives. EA just make you pay extra for multiplayer.
The “crowd” is nothing but a bunch of butthurt virgins who need to get a life.
dear: EA let ur companys fly free
Has it ever occurred to you that the government (Bill Clinton) signed legislation forcing banks to loosen standards to put more people into homes, and because it wasn’t a fixed interest rate, they couldn’t afford them anymore, when rates went up? That some people buy homes larger than they need and get a pay cut or lose a job and cannot afford it, or their $40,000 debts on credit cards from buying crap they don’t need? Clearly banks can be greedy and do terrible things, but the vast majority of these people screwed themselves by being foolish with their money.
In short: Fuck you Marcus Nilsson .
You don’t say
I’m starting to give up hope for the Wii U :/
I’m starting to give up hope for third party developers…. :(
Me too. They even don’t want to advertise their own games.
more like they are lazy to not think of something creative with the gamepad.
Same, it is so frustrating that the Wii U is being ignored. Its the perfect console for some of these games and the only way Wii U will sell is by having games. Lets just hope Mario can save Wii U but I think Wii U is the next GameCube (by sales figures) Gamecube was amazing. :(
I heard the same thing when 3rd parties were skipping the Wii U and only developing for the Playsation, but unlike the others, I didn’t give up hopes. Result: I got to play the best games of that generation, with true masterpieces such as Ocarina of Time and etc.developed by Nintendo and Rare. :)
I hope this generation will be the same, I hope Nintendo can still put masterpieces out there regardless of the support for the console. It will be worth it!
Nintendo 64*, zz my head…..
It’s too early to give up hope. We will have to see how well PS4 and Xbox One will perform before losing all hope for Nintendo’s Wii U.
Well I guess you’re right. I do apologize if I sound so negative all the time, but you have to admit it is annoying that a lot of good games are skipping the Wii U. It frustrates me that the Developers won’t take the time and at least give the Wii U to chance. Even at that Nintendo has been disappointing me this year.
The only games that I’m REALLY excited is Mario Kart 8, Smash bros, the next Zelda game, and Moniloft X. Mario Kart is starting to show its sign of aging. Smash Bros, they seem to be cutting a lot of characters, and there’s no story.
I really REALLY hope things can turn out for the better in the upcoming months. However, they Need to pick up the pace. We can’t have one quality game in 9 months at a time.
I hate to see Nintendo to be irrelevant to console gaming or gaming in general…
I agree with everything you just said.
I do think there is some hope for the next Mario Kart, but it better blow our fucking socks off. They need to evolve, now.
*sigh*
I stuck by Nintendo since I started gaming. It saddens me to see that Nintendo I used to know and grow up with is now some company who cares about kids.
Nintendo always cared about kids, that is how they turned you into a fan right? Nintendo tries to aim for all the audiences, but they are seen as a kiddy company because their products are popular with children.
Ah good point! But they are focusing on MAINLY children.
Because that is MAINLY the reason Wii sold 100 million units :D They thought everybody who bought a Wii was going to buy a Wii U which i think they named it “Wii U” to begin with. Don’t worry, they didn’t forget about us. Smash Bros, Zelda and Mario kart are coming! And hopefully somewhere along the way they show us a new Metroid, Starfox or maybe even F-Zero!!
Thanks, I feel better. I REALLY don’y want to give up on them. This is the company that got me started in gaming. I’d hate to see them go!
*sigh of relief*
This is the first year of the Wii U. There’s many more years for Nintendo to make plenty of great games. I just have to stay patient, even if I don’t like to, but you can’t rush perfection! :D
games like nfs, gears of war, asscreed and so on are aimed at teens and twens…if you turn 30 you’ll realise that these are actually the real kids games and you will be able to fully enjoy nintendo games again. they aint kids games, they really are timeless games for everybody.
Very good point. They got a lot of people to buy the Wii, and figured that everyone would carry over to the Wii U. Big mistake I believe, because most of these people weren’t gamers. Old people even got into it. These people don’t really care about video games. The Wii U should have had a different name, and Nintendo shouldn’t have pinned their hopes on said nongamers. But as much as I am frustrated with Nintendo, I do have faith they will turn it around eventually. I am waiting for most of those games you mentioned, aside from Metroid (never played it), and can’t wait for the game drought to end.
Now they are. Sorry.
That’s because the nintendo u loved was ran by howard lincolnand unfortunatly he stepped down.
If Mario Kart 8 is like this on the Wii U…. YES PLEASE!
http://gamerxchange.net/2013/07/29/the-mario-kart-game-we-want-but-wont-get/
im only exited for x and im not like dying to play it either right now. im not excited for smash bros having two versions, mario milk, 3d copy and paste world, zelda hold your hand and uninspired for u. nintendo needs to make something original again..,, and stop making us wait months on end for a fucking game!!!!!
Well, to be fair, the waiting game has been a pretty big success for us early adopters. Haha. But seriously, we do need more games more often.
I wish I had no life, maybe then I could bitch about Wii U having not enough games too…
Oh look, we have an anonymous little bitch fanboy. Funny, I barely ever comment on this site, and yet a dumbass like you says I have no life. Time to face facts you dipshit. Nintendo has failed with the Wii U thus far.
Exactly, they are mainly surviving through their old games now.
For Smash Bros, they could’ve done a story mode like how Injustice did it. IMO, watching all the cutscenes from Injustice online would’ve looked terrible. The cutscenes from SubSpace could’ve been fit together and it would look like a normal animated movie. They shouldn’t have cut out the story mode altogether :/
[Venting Incoming]
For God’s Sake. Nintendo REALLY fucked up the launch of the WiiU, like, EPICALLY fucked it up. We can keep saying, “Well when comes out, everything will be OK!”
No. It won’t. Nintendo wasted the entire FIRST YEAR it had to secure a base of users because of a lack of HD understanding and delay after delay after delay…
I just have to accept I have a 1st party / indie machine, and I’m really getting tired of platformers and fucking Mario. I want Zelda (thank God for WW, even if it IS A REMAKE) I want Metroid. Let’s see, how about anything accept more fucking “New Super Mario Bro”
I enjoy my WiiU, I do, but I’m really pissed at Nintendo. Plus the whole “Save 10% on eshoo titles” for buying deluxe? Oh, thanks Nintendo, one of my two years wasted where there wasn’t a whole hellava lot to take advantage of the.discount.
Thanks for charging me $5 for the convenience of playing ANCIENT games on my WiiU. (a few were worth it, many should be $2-$3 max.)
I’ve got a hot streak, and it just erupted. I thought NFSMW looked fantastic on the WiiU, well, I better hang on to it, because it’s part of the first and last wave of 3rd party support I’m going to get. Yeah. Now all I get is one fucking platformer after another. Maybe they are good, but when that’s ALL YOU GET, I get sick of them, even the good ones. That’s how I got burnt out on Mario. Nintendo’s all, “Let’s push out a dozen Mario Games because that’s all we know how to do anymore, oh, and RETRO, COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER FUCKING PLATFORMER. (DKTF) K THANKS!!”
GOD!!!
Sadly, I must agree. You are pretty much spot on when it comes to their launch blunders.
However, I don’t like EA games much anyway. Other third parties I do, but EA I don’t really care about personally.
I’m not an EA fan either, but I really liked the Need for Speed they gave us, enough that I would have bought this one also.
I honestly didn’t like it for the simple fact that it didn’t have local two player. I got it during Target’s buy two get one free sale, because the box says two player. Little did I know that the idiots (whether it was EA or Nintendo I’m not sure) consider two player to be one person changing the traffic and stupid shit like that. Like Mario Galaxy’s “two player.” I was so mad I traded it in, because I wanted something that is local multiplayer that my girlfriend would play (she doesn’t like too many games). I used to love the old Need for Speed games, especially the original Hot Pursuit. But I made it profit on it since I got the game for free, so I can’t complain haha. But as much as I don’t like EA, I do feel for people like you who do want some of their games on the Wii U.
“Nintendo wasted the entire FIRST YEAR it had to secure a base of users because of a lack of HD understanding and delay after delay after delay…” 3.5 million units sold is a waste? I don’t think so :)
Nintendo, the stock holders and many fans are disappointed. Whatever numbers you have, it’s not enough.
Agreed. It sometimes feels like nintendo handheld division and console division(yes, the “unified”) are different companies overall
+10000000
Like I said, Nintendo is loosing their touch…
I’m pissed because I believe Nintendo is better than this, and they got over confident and lazy when the Wii and 3DS took off. They should have worked just as hard on the WiiU, and I feel like they half-assed it.
They can do better, and they better fucking kick-it-up a notch. I’m not abandoning Nintendo, I’ll just abandon gaming. Or maybe go handheld only. I’ll give it time. I’m just really pissed right now.
I feel like if they don’t pick it up with their next console. I’m done!
Handheld Nintendo games for me.
Console Sony games for me.
I know that’s going too far but yeah I’m serious.
I wish there was a delete function here. By then I can afford both consoles on my own. Kinda got ahead of myself lol.
Personally, I’m tired of the gimmicks. I like 3D gaming, I like the GamePad, but for once, I want to see Nintendo go all out. If the GamePad really costs $100, their machines only costs $150 to make. Imagine if it had an extra $100 for power. Power isn’t that important, but lots of people didn’t want to spend $350 on an underpowered “current gen” console. So that meant no install base. That meant no third-party devs, that meant no games.
Nintendo also didn’t support their crappy Pro controller >.> Crappy because it’s not ideal and I wouldn’t shell out $50 for it. What was the 360 controller’s only flaw? It’s D-Pad. Who owns that patent? Nintendo. Nintendo could’ve and should’ve focused on the Pro controller more and made it the best controller out there.
I personally hate playing games like cod or any other first person game using the stick. I have grown up with pc so I guess that’s why. I really do like the wii more for aiming which I feel gives a more “realistic” feel to aiming in first person games. And I love all the possibilities that it offers.
Love for the wii mote!!
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I love the Wiimote too! But for certain games, it just is terrible. And the Nunchuk extension is fine for some games, but for others it just gets annoying. For some I just wanted to have one controller in my hands or be able to play with just one hand. Classic Controller/Pro had to attach to the Wiimote as well :/
The U Pro controller was a good idea executed improperly.
I think nintendo has given us too much to choose from. Now if they don’t make sure all their controllers are available to the gamers they will suffer. Take epic Mickey 2 for example. The first one used the wii mote perfectly and then they don’t support it in the wii u version when it is used in the wii version.
I loved playing with the nunchuck on nsmbw and then they take it away in nsmbu.
They can’t do those things.
See now that is wrong. Wii U is next gen. Take a look at Neo Assault Nano. Those graphics might be animated, but the qaulity of them is very impressive. Xbox 360 and PS3 wouldn’t be able to pull of that kind of game, and that was using only one of Wii U’s PowerPC cores. times that by 3 and imagine what the result could be.
I guess you didn’t see the quotes surrounding “current gen.”
And the devs say it’s underpowered, which is true. Compared to the PS4/XB1, it’s not as powerful. Most people don’t want to buy a machine that others speculate won’t be able to run those “next gen” games that need all that processing power. I’m just saying how it went, I’m not saying whether they were right or not.
yeah play nintendo games n64 and below, gamecube also were pretty dang good too, and then the wii….. iwata and reggie stepped in and ninteno milked mario to death where he probably laying down in a barn half dead. also zelda too, but this time we get handholding and shitty uninspired games. shitty mario games and zelda….. thats it, oh yeah and shoveware and the good games never get localized!!!!!!
That’s exactly how I feel!! Those times were awesome.
i just have to disagree in one thing . zelda is not milked cause there is only one zelda for each platform , uninspired yes i agree since ww there was no brilliant zelda game , mario on the other hand i rather not talk about it :/
Two. TP was on Wii with Skyward Sword. Of course, TP was at launch, SS was at the Wii’s death lol.
coming to think of it there was another console that had two zeldas , the n64 still my point stand that zelda is not milked
well counting the handhelds it feels milked. so uninspired though, WW was the last zelda to achieve greatness. the rest after were just dull, the same copy and paste, and handholding, nothing creative.
If nintendo had weak fans like you in the SNES era, we would have lame computer games running everything now. Notice how they have changed their tone from it’s a weak console to direct excuses. EA posted loses yesterday and the WiiU is rising they are crawling back to nintendo at a snails pace watch this space :).
Did you just call me a weak Nintendo fan?!
He was referring to you or Jaded_Dry Bones. Either way, he has no right. Apparently to him, if you criticize Nintendo in any way, you are not a true fan. Funny, since I agree with you two, and I’ve been a Nintendo fan since the NES. I’d like to see him say I’m a fake Nintendo fan.
Right. I felt insulted; I own almost every console and handhelds from Nintendo since the gamecube. They are my favorite company off all time. I try everything I can do to support them even at a young age. And he down right calls me a “weak Nintendo fan” please.
Not to mention that when I first started commenting on Nintendo blogs, I was a blind fanboy.
Wow. A blind fanboy who turned away from the darkside. Kudos to you. And don’t worry about him. He is one of those people who thinks you are only a true fan if you support every single decision Nintendo makes, no matter how bad it is, and buy any game from them, even if it sucks. And people like him (or her) make me think they are a teenager at most, because I would hope anyone over the age of 20 wouldn’t think like that. Not saying he or she is, but that’s just the impression I get from those types of mentalities. I’ve read your comments on this site before, and it’s good to see a young gamer (not too young though if you had a gamecube) with knowledge and insight. Let’s me know that the future of gamers has potential.
Thanks a million!
It’s just upsetting when you put so much effort in supporting Nintendo day-in and day-in and someone to just call you a weak fan? Come on at least know the situation before making such assumptions.
About the gamecube, I don’t think I got it at launch. I believe it was 2003 (I was about 5 or 6) so yeah. Hopefully I will continue to support Nintendo in the future (pretty sure I will).
It’s nice to see some sensible people here :)
I REALLY need to stop repeating myself.
do you wear diapers??
Fortunately they’ve had fans like me who have dumped COUNTLESS dollars into their hardware and software.
I have a fucking right to complain, you have no idea how much money I’ve spent exclusively on Nintendo.
Same here!!! That comment kinda got me upset though.
Damn straight bro. I’m right there with you. Gamer acts like we just started gaming this generation or something. Pfft. When you’re loyal as long as some of us are, and feel the company is making bad decisions, you earned the right to let them hear about it.
remember criticizing is a good thing. dont be diaper wearing fags like the rest of them, if so nintendo will be stuck in this thick turd there in forever until they dig their own grave.
Exactly. I want them to get off their ass and flex a bit so people know what they can do. Enough of this riding on the Wii’s success bullshit.
yeah seriosly you state FACTS but then all the fanboys do is talk about the success of the wii. its like yeah but what did the wii do for you, nothing. it wasnt even geared towards the players but the casuals. i dont give a shit about sales, i hop wii u only sells gamecube status, in exchange for good games.
This is one of your best posts yet. I totally agree!
How long have you been playing Nintendo systems?
Its not the console itself for the negative attention or blame.
Its these third parties acting like graphic/power hungry whores and ripping on Wii U because its not PS4/One.
be strong
Yes
or in short we are scared of nintendo since most nintendo fans dont buy shitty mass ware like other consoles owner
Spoken like a true fanboy
EA seems to be talking out of both sides of their mouth. On one hand they don’t want to bring games to the platform because they don’t think they’ll make any money off of it, but then they say that they’ll support the platform. How the hell do they expect the platform to be profitable when they don’t even both to release anything for it? Kind of putting the cart before the horse.
They are so dumb. They give up on the console even before their games where released.
Except the Wii U will be a year old 2 months from now.
Yeah yeah yeah, blah blah blah…
Can we have some GOOD news for a change?
We get another Mario game and some more fucking platformers. Yeah! Good times!
oh and dont forget mario kart!!!!! YAY the cod of nintendo!!!! you want a different franchise TO BAD YOU GET MARIO and ZELDA and MARIO and ZELDA!!!!! F ZERO haha JK MARIO!!!!!
THE COD OF NINTENDO… ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED? O MY FUCKING GOD, tell me me how many Mario kart does the wii have? how many? ONE FUCKING MARIO KART, NOW , how many CoDs does xbox360ps3 generation have? HOW FUCKING MANY? YOU ARE LITERALLY TOO STUPID TOO INSULT, how many zeldaa on wii? 1.5. how many uncharted? 3, how many smash bros? 1, how many gears of war? 4, how many donkey kongs? 1, how many halos? 4… really dude, stop with the “milking” shit
you dont understand what i mean, mario kart is the game that is played online the most on nintendo, its the only online game nintendo really has that is big. also mario kart doesnt change that much either, i felt like the 3ds one just came out im not excited for another one that practically is the same exact thing. just like cod, i not excited for it for that reason, the cod of nintendo, it would be NSMB but mario kart is the online game.
saying it’s the cod of nintendo is a little harsh , i mean cod is something else , not even a single sign of innovation , there is somethings new in mario kart games even if it’s not much
But calling Mario Kart Nintendo’s COD is not only beyond irrelevant but also retarded.
You have one franchise thats a popular racing game releases one game for every console with substantial change in gameplay like every other Nintendo game out there except for New Mario Bros. since the DS version and COD is the king of the worst and most spammed “best seller” excuse of a generic shooting game being Xbox’s bitch that slaps on the same, slightly altered mask and call it a different experience.
I think you’re overdue for a CAT scan bro.
NSBM got 1 DS title, 1 3ds title, 1 Wii title, and 1 Wii U title, 2 games per generation, but 1 title PER CONSOLE, it’s not “milked” as much as CoD, so you don’t have a point neither retard
Nsmb is milked the end of story fanboy. COD is milked to the max, the point i was saying about how mario kart is nintendos cod is because its the most online played game on NINTENDO. where ps360 most popular online game is COD. also im sick of mario kart, i dont get how people can play the same old cod every year.
In other news, the sky is blue.
Typical My Nintendo News, takes days to bring good news, 1 second for the bad news
What do you want them to post? Lies? Damage control? Get out of here fanboy. This is a great site, they never take sides, this, I truly like.
Reblogged this on anthonyvenable110.
But they’ll bring it out on platforms that’s not even out yet???
great. less crap.
My Negative Nintendo News.
My Nintendo News STAHP!
Translation: Mario Kart Wii sold 30m+. We can’t compete.
I don’t care much for EA at all, but Mario Kart Wii was the WORST in the series (not counting handhelds, as I never played any of them).
It was actually good. Maybe you just suck at motion control steering but it has other control options. All Mario Kart titles have been okay.
No, it sucked. I used the Wii Mote. It’s not the controls I don’t like. It’s the constant abuse of someone who is in first place. You shouldn’t be punished for being too good. I had way too many matches where I would lose because anytime I got into first place, I got hit with spike shell. I literally had matches where I got hit 5 or 6 times with it. You are rewarded for being in the lower spots. And the online was terrible. So many cheaters. So no, I don’t suck. The game sucks.
“In this particular case”
Don’t you mean “In all cases when it’s about Nintendo”
Sucks for EA.
Stfu Marcus ya little bitch
It won’t hurt if you try.
This isnt Criterion this time is it? Either way its EA so its nothing shocking.
EA, its your loss not mine.
Their reasons are getting less and less fallacious. They all know nintendo is rising, because the Xbone is in trouble in all regions :).
yeah the wii u version of need for speed most wanted sold horribly, they probably lost money. thats why and i dont blame them.
there is way better 3rd party games than this anyway.
Pity too. It looked great and was pretty damn fun. And I don’t even like racing games.
I totally suck at it, but it did a great job at showing off how great games on the WiiU can be. Now if only we can get people to by a WiiU…
funny thing im watching my brother play it right now….. he just crashed. yeah the game is good but the fucking touchy controls, there way worse than any need for speed game!!!!!
The controls are indeed touchy, but it also depends on what car you drive. You’ve got to find the car that fits you.
Again, I’m not into racing games, it just looks really nice on the WiiU. I like going through speed traps and running from cops. :p
Anyway, Last Need for speed we’ll ever see.
Yeah, trying to build up a fanbase is really expensive in the beginning, so it’s obviously the best idea to not even try….
All the big publishers did try.
EA:
NFSMW
Mass Effect 3 (Granted, sabotaged by the trilogy release)
Ubisoft (Many titles)
Capcom (Coding Revelations for WiiU, despite the low install base)
The only one not trying is Nintendo.
Yeah, Ubisoft did sort of try….They just have to keep it going. Some examples: AC liberation HD is not on WiiU, so basically no AC fanbase will grow. EA treats Nintendo consoles and fans like shit -> no fanbase. Capcom, no street fighter on Nintendo consoles -> built-up fanbase destroyed.
Most of the time they dont really try, but the console is an investment THEY have to make, THEY are responsible for their success.
Of course, I also think Nintendo could do a better job, but I’ll just say this: their indie approach=fantastic, their third party aproach=should be like their indie approach.
NOT GONNA BLAME THEM WII U IS DEAD FOR THIRD PARTY GAMES. I WILL BE MAD IF WIIU WERE SELLING LIKE HOT CAKES AND EA DIDNT WANT THE GAME. BUT RIGHT NOW ITS NOT THE MOMENT
Expect Katamari to appear any second now to troll -_-
Dude, dont even remember his name…..what’s the point? You better discuss with intelligent comments, you know?
I’m here =). And I’m not trolling, just stating the facts. Why are they going to bother making a Wii U version of this game. As a matter of fact why is any 3rd party going to bother making games for the Wii U. Babies only buy Mario and Pokeomon games. When anyone complains about the lack of 3rd party support the babies tell them “everybody knows that nobody buys a Nintendo console for 3rd parties”. So if this is the mentality of them, why is any 3rd party developer going to bother making games for the Wii U.
Babies argue that they value gameplay over graphics, yet they fail to appreciate a game like the Wonderful 101, hence it has sold pathetically in Japan (and you can expect sales in the West to be the same). So what happened with valuing gameplay? But they will find excuses arguing Nintendo didn’t market the game enough or anything else they can come up with. The reality is that any game that isn’t a game aimed at the babies won’t be bought by them. Bring them a billion Mario clone games and they will buy all the billion of them. That is all they want.
Incorrect. Babies are incapable of buying a video game.
EA is on the way to win the worst company 3 years in a row ?
They don’t deserve it.
Stop bragging about it.
shut up. You are born from an anal creampie. You dont deserve to speak to me.
Bro. I was born an inelegant young man. I’m already taking a college class in my sophomore year. I’m taking algebra 2 so that means I’m one grade ahead in math.
You are some 40 year loser who still lives in a basement, worships Nintendo and have disgusting tastes. You are probably some loser who spys on kids.
Cornilius. If you fuck with me, I will make sure that you realize that you regret living such a terrible life Your mother may have wish she an abortion when she was carrying your filthy ass.
You don’t diverse to to talk the way you talk okay. Go to school and learn some fucking manners.
You disgust me you virgin piece of shit.
*intelligent
Lol damn.
Mouhahahahah ! DIE looser.
I bet I accomplished more in life than you. Social reject.
This is coming from a “lifesaver” who likes shemales?
You are an abomination to this world. Your gravatar picture truly shows how much of a social reject you are.
*Cue “HEY LOSER” or “HEY RETARD GO DIE” *
Anal cream pie ha ha ha good one cornilius
I think you replied to the wrong person …
Lying pricks.
and the list continues it seems. I wonder if Nintendo even cares at all.
ITS STINCKING NEED FOR SPEED FROM STANK EA
WHO GIVES A FUCK
LOL NOBODY WHOS A REAL GAMER BUYS THERE FILTH
Oh? What constitutes a real gamer? and why wouldn’t a “real gamer” buy EA’s games?
I have always loved nintendo. I recently bought the wii u and to tell you the truth it’s amazing. However the reason that it took such long time for me to investigate in the console was that I saw it just as a new gadget from them. I really liked the wii motes cuz it was something new and it preformed really well.
I love Nintendo games and that’s the reason I buy their console. To have the chance to play 3rd party games is just a bonus to me. If they don’t make it for the wii u then I’m not buying it on any other console either. Nintendo has everything that is needed. So. Their loss really.
Don’t even try to explain why it’s not coming to the Wii u. It only make you look more lazy 3rd party developers.
I like how the headline says he “explains” something when he does nothing of the sort.
won’t blame them , they want to make money like every other company , only natural that their games won’t come for the wii u
EA is still butthurt over the fact that Nintendo said no to Origin on the Wii U. That’s what it is. Bottom line.
What else do you want me to say?
That was only ever a rumor which retarded fanboys believed was true.
Not according to this man. He speaks the truth. Bottom line:

Yeah you keep thinking that …
Event speaks the truth, so yeah I’ll keep thinking that.
Haha more and more deluded people show up.
I’m not deluded and neither is event. Don’t mess with him. He speaks the truth about all things including gaming, especially EA and their bull.
D. E. L. U. D. E. D.
At this point I’m more distressed about how much bad rep people are getting/how many trolls and such are taking the chance to talk shit about Nintendo. I’ve been a Nintendo fan for ages and I can more or less point out every major flaw with Nintendo’s Wii U marketing/sales but if I had to boil it down to two things:
– Casual gamers/normal people don’t know what a Wii U is
– The list of not only games, but more specifically “system sellers” are small
Well, I’m officially not a Nintendo fan because I’m criticizing them, so scratch that (?) but regardless, we have to remember companies are all businesses and they only try to do what makes them money, for the most part.
Nintendo wanted to release the Wii U WAY ahead of the PS4 and Xbox One probably because they know they’re a gaming company and little else and they’d much rather get the system out, attract some people, and get a sort of “head start” on the other systems. People can buy Xbox systems to play DVDs and watch TV and similar things with PS systems (my brother bought a PS3 just for the Blu-ray player and after that buying actual games isn’t much more).
This was an okay idea but they didn’t hype up the launch at all. Instead, people STILL don’t know of the Wii U or acknowledge its existence as the first 8th generation console–they made a mistake on ABC or something calling the Wii U a “Wii”. I went into GameStop today to pick up KH HD 1.5 Remix (now I’m definitely not a Nintendo fan for supporting Sony, even though I bought Pikmin 3 in the same purchase…) and when I said I planned on pre-ordering multi-platform games like Watch_Dogs on the Wii U, I was more or less mocked–by GameStop people! They also told me that people constantly confused the Wii with the Wii U, trying to buy a Wii U game and having to have it explained as a game for a different system, or buying a new Wii U instead of a Wii (I actually have a friend whose Dad did this so I totally believe it–when it comes to buying things for kids it’s not out of the picture to be making mistakes like these).
Moving on, we have some great titles but without a super enjoyable, relatively long exclusive game, systems won’t sell. Pikmin 3 is good and it helped a bit but the game is sort of hard for some people to catch-on–I know I didn’t grow up with Pikmin and if I hadn’t played Nintendo Land and seen some video clips I’d probably have little to no idea about what it’s actually like. They needed to have the next Smash announced much earlier and games like X (the “new Xenoblade Chronicles”, if you will) and SMT x FE have SO little information that people often forget to include it in their lists of upcoming Wii U games. These games should be out no later than the end of this year and the games that are all coming out over the next two months (Wonderful 101, LoZ WW HD, etc.) should already have been out. They were slow to make the adjustment to HD and people grew impatient and now we have all this Nintendo hate-it’s almost like their plan of releasing the system early backfired because while they did sell a few million consoles or whatever, they also have AWFUL rep right now that’s skewing the reality of their situation.
And that’s where I come in. I absolutely HATE seeing all this crap about Nintendo, especially when people say things like “Nintendo should become 3rd party” or “Nintendo is dying”. Nintendo has series that simply don’t have any equal and can’t be replaced. They’re HUGE. They’ve got coffers filled with gold as well. They can bounce back. They just need to make some PERFECT decisions here. If they sell systems thanks to this LoZ bundle–which they WILL, I promise you–they will attract people. The indie scene is looking better for the Wii U as well. Companies are still maintaining bonds through the 3DS, which is selling better. A lot of people LOVE Nintendo or have a history of working with them, but again, it’s a business. I haven’t played a Need for Speed game in ages but it still pains me to see announcements like these… even so I can hardly blame them; if I were an EP I’d probably make the same choice because one can’t let personal feelings get in the way of a business.
What we need to do now is drop the hate, watch as the Wii U scene improves, and anyone who wants to ever play a new Nintendo game needs to pick up a Wii U and start playing games, at least until the Xbox One or PS4 come, but I’m sure if you have one by then there will be awesome games only for the Wii U that will come out as well. If you’re worried about the controller, pick up a classic one–and keep your old Wii stuff. The Wii U is the only 8th gen system where you don’t have to buy everything new. You have an entire library of Wii games to catch up on and your Wiimotes will still function as well. There are too many Nintendo games without equal for it to die out. Nintendo just needs to focus on getting those out instead of making a bajillion Mario games instead (no offense to Mario games and I actually am excited for Super Mario 3D World because it has potential to boost system sales but what about all the other major Nintendo franchises like Starfox, F-Zero, Metroid, Fire Emblem, maybe even Kid Icarus and Kirby).
3rd-party developers work for a business and going back to what I said, they will come back once the Wii U sells. For the same reasons they’re turning they’re back, they’ll come back. I actually love the idea of petitioning because it’s a lot easier to nudge companies to do things, you just need to show strong support in #’s. Right now even if we asked companies like Ubisoft and EA to support the Wii U they wouldn’t because there aren’t enough people who actually have the system and play it to sign a petition or create some sort of major public reaction.
Okay, this was all just to make myself feel better because seeing all the debbie downers comment on the Wii U, along with the pure straight truth of things (the system is not doing well), was really depressing me as a Nintendo fan. More than anything else, I’m only trying to convince myself that there is hope and in the mean time, I’m buying their products, especially their Wii U ones, because I don’t have the right to criticize them from the sidelines, at least in my mind (I’m sure some people will say they DO have that right and w/e, if you live in the U.S. it’s a free country so do what you want lol).
tl;dr
– Nintendo needs to start a major advertising campaign for the Wii U so people actually learn what it is. And this needs to happen like, yesterday. Or 6 months ago. Or at launch, but that’s asking for too much, lol. You would be surprised what simplying making people aware of the system can do. It is difficult for parents to sate their little kids wanting the next Nintendo system besides buying it but if the kids don’t know about the Wii U either, that’s an issue, lol. As for older audiences, all you need for that is to attract them with awesome trailers for good games. Not that hard.
– The Wii U is not as bad as it seems. It is NOT a weakness of the system that is making it sell bad. It’s marketing and a lack of solid games. I haven’t met anyone who has a Wii U that doesn’t like it. They just say they haven’t used it in X amount of time or whatever.
– I’m writing this huge essay because I’m tired of the hate and while I know this won’t do anything to quell it, I’m just getting out some of my own angst, because I hate to see so much bad stuff on the Wii U.
– Nintendo, up your ****ing game and show all these haters and other companies who’s boss. I can’t wait for that to happen. I love Sony as well as a lot of 3rd-party developers but I feel like people are always first to jump on the hatewagon for Nintendo and anything to shut them up and secure Nintendo as a major part of the gaming industry, as it always has been, will seriously give me some much needed relief. In the end, I just want to play my damn games and have a fun time. Right now I feel like Nintendo’s being bullied by other companies, being excluded by some of them, and I’m that awkward kid who’s trying to help the victim, then complain about how bullying is a problem.
…I’m stopping here before I write a 200-page thesis paper =| (if you want to say something to me and it’s not hate-related or argumentative, e-mail me at blazer@feshrine.net – I don’t intend to check these comments, lol.)
Who the fuck is going to read this??
Me -_-
lel.
Me too
Fire Emblem was announced bro, and give them time, Metroid will surely come, i believe Star Fox too, they have also invested to resurrect old franchises, and Miyamoto is working on a new franchise. It’s just time what they need, till december Wii U will boost their sales heavily with the new incoming titles, I’m not a Fanboy, i just speak with facts, there are a lot of first party games coming in the next months. Do you think Mario Kart, Super Mario 3d World, Donkey Kong TF, Wind Waker HD, Super Smash Bros U (i’m not even mentioning all the upcoming games, just count this ones) wont boost up Wii U sales? if they’ve sold more than 4 million consoles with barely any game, what do you think what will happen when those titles come up?. Facts speak for themselves.
Also, about 3rd party support, well, they’ve almost never supported Nintendo in their whole history, just because Nintendo is a console that sells because of the first party titles, they’ve always kept themselves afloat with their own games. It is uncertain if we will really have 3rd party support or not. What is certain is that it’s going to sell a lot.
The only reason why i bought a Wii U was because i’m a Zelda fan, and the Wii U untitled upcoming zelda is going to be the most huge zelda ever, do some research about the money Nintendo is investing, coming to be the most expensive game in the history of Nintendo. I live in Venezuela i appology if my english is not that good, i bought a Wii U just for Zelda.
In the last generation I got a Wii and an Xbox 360 1 year after, and that was the biggest mistake I could have made, all the games i got they were all kind of boring to me, just played them 5 days, passed them and then never again, adding that my Xbox got 3 red lights 2 years after purchase, and since I’m not in the US there was nothing i could do, it was so shitty that the games i cant even sell them here, cuz they dont worth nothing, Nintendo 64 games sell for twice the price. Nintendo has been always loyal to me, giving quality systems and quality games.
And for 3rd party games i’m just upgrading my pc. That’s the best combination of things you can do: Wii U + PC.
I read it. No THAT’S a Nintendo fan. I mean that in a good way too.
Need for Speed is EA’s grand spam racing version of COD. Always the same shit every year and I could hardly care about the new Undercover, The Run, Hot Pursuit, Most Wanted..oh sorry. I keep getting the name wrong because its all the same crap.
Rivals not coming to Wii U? Oh what another missed shame of a another missed, shit EA game over Nintendo not accepting Origin’s BS Spyware ass.
Seriously EA, Wii DON’T GIVE A FUCK ANYMORE! You can go cry us an ocean to drown yourself and your “Worst Company of America for 3 straight years and counting” reputation.
Someone sounds bitter. If you really didn’t care, you wouldn’t have wasted your time writing all that up.
“Seriously EA, Wii DON’T GIVE A FUCK ANYMORE!”
Yet you don’t shut up about how 3rd parties want nothing to do with Wii U …
Yeah I’m sure this has nothing to do with the fact that EA hates Nintendo. Pshh.
Btw, this is nice slap in the face to all the people who bought and supported nfs most wanted on the wii u with hopes that their support would mean more nfs games on the u. Thanks a lot liars.
I’m definitely up there with others believing that other third-parties just simply don’t believe in the Wii U’s potential. It’s a shame too because it seems only smaller independent studios who need Kickstarters to get their games on the Wii U’s eShop service are some of the only ones really attempting to support the Wii U right now.
Same ol’ shit year after year with that company.
“From an EA perspective (Sony and Microsoft money)”
So they make them for Wii but not the Wii U? That makes sense.
Funny, isn’t it?
Fuckin Fanboys. Instead of complaining about systems, get them all or buy the ones you ACTUALLY LIKE and stop this meaningles complaining. ” AWW NINTENDO DOESNT HAVE GAMZ SONY IS BETTER” well get Sony console then and stop complainin, “AWW SONY EXCLUSIVES SUCK I WANNA PLAY N GAMES” well why the fuck you complain if you already have Nintendo console?, “AWW MS HAS BETTER ONLINE” well play with Xbox then. Im sick all of you piece of shits from all the camps.
WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN: “In this particular case, for at most all of our games, Wii U is not one of the platforms.”
EA…. Fuck you.
If you dont bring Mirrors Edge 2 for Wii U, youre dead to me.
Dont really care about anything else.
This is all just because of lack of used games drm.
Both Sony and MS supports that if publisher wants it.
You can bet your ass that EA wants it.
