Electronic Arts and Nintendo: What's all the fuss?

GameDynamo - "By now, the entire media is buzzing about Electronic Arts and their statement saying that they don't have any games planned for the Wii U. Suddenly, everyone is trying to speculate what this means for Nintendo, how the struggling console plans to make up for this loss of support, and what plans are set for the future. My question is: Who the hell cares?"

wow finally an article that speaks sense.

Easy the WiiU is a joke, EA isnt the only one that feels this way.

N64 - Cartridge, stupid move, many didnt support them.
GameCube - better but lacked hardcore games (RE make one of the few and Eternal Darkness)
Wii - FAD but neat
WiiU - a joke

So really only the GameCube was a real contender to have some new games attempted.

End of story.

I wonder why you still have 3 bubbles...

TechnicianTed4011d ago

What exactly is a hardcore game? What kind of nonsense category is that?

3-4-54010d ago

It has to have fire and black backgrounds and dragons and stuff man !!

PigPen4011d ago

Sony as a company selling buildings in all is a bigger joke, no. Why in every Nintendo artical someone is talking troll stupid. If you are only a Microsoft/Sony fanboy, you already know what you will spend your money on. When you say things like this I lol cause I know you must see Nintendo as a threat. Although I'm a multi gamer, I find myself defending Nintendo so much so I myself look like a die hard fanboy. I know what I want in the gaming world and I don't have to talk crazy to justify it.

lilbroRx4010d ago

The Wii was the only console that games that weren't racers, shooters, or medieval fighters could sell on.

It also created new genre.

The Wii was epitome of bringing new game attempts. The Cell was a fad, and it passed. Not even Sony want to use it anymore.

Uh, yeah and that first comment about the N64 cartridge, well it had a little game, and that was Mario 64, and that was the MARK for platform games my friend. One of the best games of all time, and then there is a little cartridge called Ocarina Of Time. First 3D Zelda, lets See, Conkers Bad Fur Day ( I said that just for fun), Perfect Dark, Rayman, OMG, MAJORAS MASK. Back then Nintendo opted for the cartridge, because of load times..you could sit at a PS1 for a min or two or you could pop a cartridge in,and play instantly. That was what Nintendo was thinking.

herbs4010d ago

One of the main reasons I'm dissapointed in Nintendos new console is because it seems pretty bogged down and has pretty shitty load times when it comes to basically everything it does. All previous Nintendo consoles seemed more instantaneous when it came to gaming (N64s archaic cartridge based format was a good decision at the time IMO) and I was hoping for that trend to continue.

EA are still butt hurt and think that stopping support will damage Nintendo. LOL are they in for a shocker or what.

gedden74011d ago

Start with Nintendo hold 3rd parties by the balls in the 90's to EA monetary problem to begging Nintendo to use Origin instead of their own eShop.

skipper4010d ago (Edited 4010d ago )

As far as I am concerned Nintendo Sega,Capcom, Ubisoft,Indie Developers, will create some great games for they system. It kind of sucks that EA dumped Nintendo, but no blood loss. You know what though? I am really getting sick and tired of Nintendo hater trolls going to Wii U articles, and that includes good, positive ones too. Spewing hate and saying the most ignorant things. I do not at all care for Microsoft,but I have only made one comment that was negative(it was not even that bad) and had my freaking head ripped off.

PigPen4010d ago

I do not at all care for Microsoft sounds like hate. You are indeed part of the problem.

skipper4010d ago

No I am not, this is a Wii U article...I did not go to a Nextbox article and say that..."I do not at all care for Microsoft" Is nothing compared to what hater/trolls say about Wii U.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai1d 9h ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga1d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

XiNatsuDragnel1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

ravens521d 4h ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_23h ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

KwietStorm_BLM23h ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka8h ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_23h ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
