    1. But this one is about Nintendo… also, without Nintendo, you wouldn’t have your call of duty because gaming wouldn’t be around ;)

        1. Not really, Nintendo actually pretty much helped the industry out kid. Sega helped push the hardware sales with competition
          Nintendo helped evolve gaming
          Sony helped to bring great consoles
          Microsoft helped to bring… broken console that would only last a week…

          What you are doing right now by saying I’m “Damage Controlling” is pretty much damage controlling in itself.

            1. How am I mad?
              From what I’m seeing, I’m pretty calm and collected. I feel that you’re the “Mad” one here because you seem to give me names and act all tough but really deep down, you’re just angry because I’m proving you wrong.

              Plus, I play on PC kiddo.

              1. Really? can’t provide evidence even though it clear to me that you are angry. You even delete your email and just posted in rage.

                I’m sorry kiddo but the truth hurts ;)

  1. None of these games are recent, so its not surprising, they would eventually close them down. Good heads up.

  2. Spore Creatures is the ONLY EA game I have on my DS… I’m not crying over the closer of it’s servers.

      1. I said I’M not crying over it… I’m not saying that everyone else is crying over it… read the comment full next time ;)

    1. Nintendo is my Blood

      I used to love Spore, it was wacky, silly and fun, I donno why EA decided to abandon it, DarkSpore was terrible, I could never even get the damn thing to install because it needed a very specific core processor

      1. Did you see the original idea for Spore? It was way more darker than the stupid kiddifed version that EA forced the Maxis team to do. Still a fun game but I’d rather see the original gritter version back

              1. Not really, the underwater stage is missing, the graphics looks more detailed (in high res videos anyway), your creatures can wonder around in hurds instead of a small group, you can play FULL as the baby, the Civilization mode is less restrictive, there’s no limit to what your creature can look like (Unlike in the newer version which restricts you), Tribal mode is less annoying and so on.

                So yeah, there is a BIG difference from this one and the newer version.

      2. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

        My hate for the Electrons started when they decided to pull the plug on Spore…

            1. Yet you’re the one who got butthurt and deleted your own email… Mhm, keep telling yourself that kiddo ;)

              I’d shave that neck beard of your’s if I were you and also… get rid of that fedora

        1. Nintendo is my Blood

          Yeah, it was a shame, it was so fun and had alot to do, I loved the feel of adventure, you had to be very wary of what you do, upsetting the grox could be a mistake

          1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

            And yet, these idiots settle for Minecraft when spore was 10000 times better…

            1. Spore was fun but I preferred Will Wrights older vision of the game which if they made into a sequel would be a massive hit, plus, the Wii U could actually be amazing for that type of game.

            2. Nintendo is my Blood

              Minecraft wasn’t bad per say, but it was overated for what it was, Spore was alot more fun and less repetitive, yes it was kinda glitchy but it was infinite in play

            3. I like MineCraft more than Spore. I feel that the only reason you dislike MineCraft is because it’s not on Wii U. Also, I have played Spore before and it was very creepy.

              1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

                I have a gaming PC, why would I be mad?…

                I never liked Minecraft and never will…

  3. Trolls NEVER EVER choose to be Rehashes

    But when they do, they are called Aeolus, IceEatenJudger and Sasori

    1. Nobody plays the games that EA shut down. It’s no big deal. Plus, Nintendo WFC will have been shut down BEFORE then, so the online services wouldn’t even work.

  4. 1. Like I care since everyone hates EA & 2. Them killing support is only killing their “reputation” even more. So fire away EA, you’re already more than hated.

  5. this is the reason I don’t like online feature, they are good for a time being but after a while they have to close the their servers (for a very good reason) and what’s happen to the game? Tintafall may be a good game but in 5 years time the server going to close and you get what???? the game won’t be playable and you would have spent £60.. no worth the putting some money into it.
