It would still be catastrophic if EA invested in a million-dollar advertising campaign to shift an additional 250,000 copies of the game (and that would make it one incredibly successful advertising campaign). If EA was relying on these Wii U games then EA would no longer be here."
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.
This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
Cut the bull crap maaan!! how stupid you you think we are??? So it makes GREAT business sense to invest millions on games for platforms with ZERO install base but not develop any games for a consol with a few million install base which is sure to grow when Nintendo releases its HEAVY 1st party games???? JUST TELL THE TRUTH EA!! You've fallen out with Nintendo!!!
Fact is EA will be missing out on millions once the install base inevitably grows. Which is fine with me, there are a lot of games by EA that I don't care to play. It's a shame for them because it will leave developers like Ubisoft & SEGA to make millions in their absence.
I honestly think EA is nuts if they think they will just ignore the system completely. I am willing to bet EA will eat their own words and change their minds once they see the numbers climb on the Wii U.
Just my two cents.
because ea basically wanted an 'unprecedented partnership' with nintendo if they used ORIGIN. it was a case of "use origin or else..." now corrupt ea are flexing their muscles. whats so hard to understand? cryengine 3, frostbite 3, etc will all run on wii U if developers take their time with the architecure. do ea seriously think we gamers are that naive!!?? considering nintendo have done much more positive things for our beloved industry, im backing them all the way in standing up to the worst company in america. F*ck ea.
It makes sense that they want to sell to a large install base, but when sales pick up Nintendo won't be the ones crawling to EA.
A bunch of children run EA.
