There has been a lot of conjecture surrounding the sour relationship between Nintendo and EA. Before the launch of the Wii U, a peculiar rumour emerged about a messy Origin deal gone wrong. Rumours are just rumours, and should never be considered true until officially confirmed. But the recent animosity of EA towards the Wii U, has me concerned that this rumour is in fact true. What happened to the unprecedented partnership that was announced at E3 2011? Dead Space 3, Crysis 3, and now Battlefield 4. It appears that most of EA’s big hitters will not be coming to the Wii U.
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.
Man the industry just keeps on going with all this bs and to think this is ubisoft again remember what happened with that skull bones team same crap.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
All the support they've been giving Nintendo lately, but to flat-out state that ''Nintendo doesn't need EA?'' I'm sorry, but I don't believe that for one second. Once the football exclusitivity is over with the NFL and EA, then it won't matter. Nintendo needs to establish a bond with 2K sports, Konami - basically developers with the right resources to make quality sport titles.
Uhhh, but Sony and MS have Ubisoft AND EA. It's not like Wii U gets Ubisofts games exclusively to cover the lack of EA games. Heck, ps3 and 360 straight up jacked Wii U for Rayman exclusivity.
Grasping for straws, are we not?
This article is right Nintendo don't need EA, their games are rubbish anyways. I don't want micro-transactions and day 1 DLC on my Wii U. No thanks.
Did anyone else hear the rumor as to why Nintendo and EA aren't playing nice?
Well what I heard was that Nintendo actually went to EA and asked them to design their online service and servers, and EA agreed, but the problem turned out to be that EA would have ran all of Nintendo Network, sort of like Origin, and Nintendo wouldn't have seen any money out of the deal, so Nintendo backed out and that ticked off EA.
That is sort of the same thing that happened between Sony and Nintendo when Sony was making the CD add on for the Super Nintendo, the way the contract was set up, Sony would have gotten 100% of the profits for any CD based game, and would have been privy to Nintendo's first party titles, sort of how the Phillips CDI got to put out terrible Zelda and Mario games.
I think Nintendo needs to get EA on board, at least with some of the sports titles.
Nintindo need every third party developer as mach sony or microsoft need it
I dont think nintindo in good position right now , hope the show me why i should by wii u , for other games that is not mario and zilda this E3 :D
