Peter Moore, the Chief Operating Officer of Electronic Arts, has taken to Twitter to speak out about the article published by CVG. The article had a quote from an anonymous source at the company who said that “Nintendo was dead to us very quickly” after the Wii U. However, CVG still stands by their article and says that the source was a representative from EA.
Don’t trust “anonymous sources”. Nintendo’s a great partner. They never have been, and never will be, ‘dead’ to EA…
yeah, dont trust our employees, trust our hate
You kidding? The only way to get any real info on the game’s industry is by anonymous source
“Nintendo is a great partner” my ass
im being sarcastic
yah… but theres still no doubt that EA is against Nintendo…
Maybe they are still but hurt over the whole outrageous Origin offer.
Yeah.. You keep believing that, Nintendrone. That ‘Origin’ thing was never proven to be true or false so just get it out of that head of yours.
What do you mean? It was said by some person on the internet, of course it’s true! I don’t think there has ever been a single event, where someone said something false on the internet!
and neither this is confirmed……nintendo haters seem to be stuck with a dick up their ass…..
Well, hopefully this isn’t just ‘executive’ talk, I could really use madden 15 and battlefield 5 on the Wii u/3ds versions…
Actually wiiu’s closed online garden is where the relationship went south. EA tried getting Nintendo to play ball with Origin. nintendo said nah.
Not even. That was purely a rumor.
You’re right. That’s why there is origins on the wiiu.
Your logic is flawless.
Ironic isn’t it?
Please, learn the meaning of “irony.”
wat no! I was agreeing with you :( that guy was itonic
*iconic
Im just embarrising myself…
Oh. lol Sorry! xD
This^ No one knows for sure why EA and Nintendo have such an awry relationship. I personally think it’s Wii U’s poor sales, but that’s just my opinion.
+1 :))
same with this anonymous source its all rumors….
Just another example of how screwed up things are over there now.
Instead of trying to cover up what happened, why don’t they prove it?
lol what?
Given EA’s history with Nintendo lately, I’m not buying that for once second.
I wouldn’t say that your relationship with Nintendo even exists…but no publisher is ignorant and stupid enough to just shit on a console.
u sure ea? DONT CANCEL COMPLETED GAMES FOR WII U JUST BEACUSE THE WII U DIDINT SELL MUCH AT THAT POINT.
if you want it to do well and have your money from it the HELP SUPPORT IT! but no……….at least ones like ubiosft or platinum ect KNOW that.
LOL what the fuck is going on. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER EA. by that i mean you’re golden shit awards.
your* -__-
I hope they win their third golden shit this year.
To be honest I didn’t expect anything better or worse coming from EA.
So many people saying so many things. It’s very hard to tell who likes Nintendo and who doesn’t….it’s ridiculous.
EA are actually a really good company and people give them waaaay too much hatred. They produce so many high quality games for multiple platforms that sell excessively well. Said no one ever
Considering they are the company running for the worst video game company going for the third time. Shut your bloody idiot and pathetic mouth Pinwheel. You’re a complete disgrace to gaming.
*worst company of ALL america
which isn’t exactly very believable
…considering i was being sarcastic and i made that VERY obvious you’re the one that needs to shut your fucking mouth and hang yourself
i am most certainly not a disgrace to gaming. i am in fact a paragon to gaming I’ll have you know. My opinions are flawless and should be taken literally by everyone, whether they be satirical or not. Everyone should be gullible enough to believe everything i say.
Then don’t post something if you don’t mean it.
lol shut up and get a sense of humor you gullible shit
It’s called “Poe’s law”: People would confuse the real thing for a parody and a parody for the real thing.
Heck, I can even tell you’re being sarcastic there, but it’s more difficult for written speech to convey sarcasticism than verbal speech since we don’t have tones of voices, here.
So you didn’t see the “said no one ever” at the end of the comment?
Even then, people can confuse it as his actual opinion.
It’s called “Poe’s Law”.
Calm down, Nintendrone. Everything will be alright.
No, EA WERE a really good company, and not even that long ago. Dead Space 1 and 2? Mass Effect trilogy? Battlefield BC2? Hooooly shiiiit, those a DAMN good games, up with the best of the generation.
But over the past 2-3 years, they’ve just abandoned what made them great, releasing FULL, WORKING and ORIGINAL games, that are all awesome, and different, and fun. Now it’s just “profit at the expense of quality”.
If Nintendo is such a “great partner” according to him, why haven’t they released any games for the Wii U or 3DS recently? I call bullshit.
Exactly what I am thinking….just makes no sense.
Surely if they;re such a “great partner” then why cancel so many games that I could be playing right now???
I’m pretty sure he just said that to keep on peoples good side, I don’t believe it for one second.
Pingback: EA likes Nintendo after all
If they’re such great partners put out NFS:Rivals, Star Wars (when it comes), FIFA 14, Tiger Woods etc on Wii U rather than just putting out some pointless tweet.
If EA really did care, then why on earth have they done practically nothing for Wii U? Don’t give me the old “low install base” bullshit, because this guy is saying the compete opposite, which might I add don’t believe.
If EA did care, then they would not have stopped stuff like Crysis going onto the console, something Crytek said ran on the console really well.
Prove it with games EA. Give us some fucking games!
Be a good partner for the love of all that is gaming!
They did (Madden, FIFA, NFS, Mass Effect) and nobody got them on the Wii U (please no, “they were late or crappy,” excuses). So now they stopped. Yeah, it was stupid for them to expect a lot of people to buy games at launch when the system had a low install base; but then again, third and even some second and first party games have been doing terrible numbers on the Wii U since then.
If I had a say in EA, I would have stuck with the system at least through 2-3 years, like Ubisoft is currently doing. However, if the games kept doing abysmal numbers on the system, then I would pull the plug on supporting it.
Well ME3 was definately late and ME trilogy was comin to other platforms for same price, so ME3 not doing good on WiiU wasnt suprise.
IRONY: Yes yes we know that EA loves Nintendo and consider it a great partner and it’s obvious from the number of the games released by EA for the WiiU
Yep, that’s why we got Battlefield 4, Dead Space 3, and Madden 25. Oh wait.
All those are shit.
2 generic FPS and one generic sport game
No thanks
Pretty much, atleast we didn’t miss anything good :) Dead space isn’t an FPS, it’s similar to Resident evil. Survival horror FTW!
yeah no that’s a plain FPS… there’s hardly any more survival horror going on unlike the first dead space
FPS stands for first person shooter. Dead space is a Third person shooter.
It would never happen but I would love to see a Wii U exclusive Dead Space that takes advantage of the game pad and have it developed by visceral and retro
I say.. Screw EA. And screw their games!
Unless they bring the other Mass Effect games to Wii U. But other than that screw them!
Unless of course they bring Battlefield to Wii U…day one purchase. But aside from that..SCREW THEM!!
Now if they bring Sims or Dragon Age I’ll gladly indulge..
But if not those then SCREW EA!!!!!
Oh really? Then would you mind bringing Mirror’s Edge 2 to Wii U?
I’d buy Mirror’s Edge day one and BF4.
Between an idiot who thought that Sim City Online was awesome just because it sold well, and an idiot who didn’t want his name known, I’ve got NO clue WHO TO BELIEVE. DERP!
that doesn’t sound very sincere in light of what EA has done in the past
IT LIES!
Pingback: Daily Gaming Review, 1/23/14 | The Rational Gamer
EA Games said in 2011 “PS Vita ‘has a better chance than 3DS'”
This shows how much they understand about gaming
EA hates Nintendo since the 90’s, I should admire this retractation attempt but they are still giving total freedom for its employees to say shit about Nintendo, like that senior engineer that call the Wii U “crap” on Twitter.
I’ll believe they think Nintendo is a great partner WHEN THEY ACTUALLY MAKE GAMES FOR A NINTENDO PLATFORM!
seriously… how can you know if a company is a great partner if you don’t work with them?
They already have. They’re all on the Wii.
Never dead to EA huh? Let’s see some non-lazy ports, perhaps of NHL Hockey and UFC, on the Wii U then!
If Nintendo is such a great partner to EA, then maybe they could release some fucking games on the Wii U once in a while.

Sure EA..
It would be foolish for Nintendo to disregard Nintendo. I am sure we will see EA making games for Nintendo again.
They are really ridiculous. Disgrace of gaming.
Please fuck off, EA.
Can you say “DAMAGE CONTROL”?
I’ll only believe them if they actually put effort on the games they release for Wii U.
(the previous Dragon Age games, i.g. before the launch of Inquisition, would fit like a glove)
Well, I hope you should release your games in Wii U by this year….
You don’t know that I’m also a fan of The Sims and I’m looking forward for The Sims 4 release……
