EA Sports senior software engineer Bob Summerwill calls the Wii U "crap", "Less powerful than an Xbox 360", and more through Twitter comments.
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.
That dude just took Nintendo to the shooting range with those comments
Everything he has said is true, but he certainly wasn't pulling any punches. A little decorum would be nice on Twitter, where people seem to lose all sense of class. Still, I don't know why hardcore Nintendo fans can't just mentally snip out the middle-man and get angry at Nintendo for making such poor hardware as opposed to the - loudmouthed - devs and publishers who simply can't be bothered to work on it. Whose fault is it, really?
I doubt Bob will get a talking to seeing as sports engineers are like gold to EA
Someone try to convince me that EA's not bitter at this point. I would LOVE to see someone prove that to me.
@bicfitness
"Conversely, can you prove that EA ARE bitter?"
You can't be serious. Look at the tweet.
"The WiiU is crap. Less powerful than an XBOX360. Poor online/store. Weird tablet. Nintendo are walking dead at this point."
How does that not sound bitter to you? That's coming straight from EA's staff.
Furthermore, the Origin rumor was never denied either. So you can't simply write it off as if it was nothing. Take it with a grain of salt, but it makes a lot of sense considering EA and Nintendo were so tight at first and then suddenly their partnership dropped off the face of the earth.
EA are not fans of the Wii U
