All I want from EA is Mirror's Edge 2 given proper treatment, but I want that on PC anyway.

Wasn't in the market for EA games on Wii U, but yeah it'll be interesting to see how Nintendo responds.

I wish EA didn't hold a monopoly of the sports game genre

IPWNDU2
Should be it for football. I don't see 2k trying to make a new one though :(

Actually the Dreamcast had better 3rd party support than the Wii U could ever dream of. Sega got a big boost from Capcom, Midway, and the success of Soul Calibur. Not to mention Sega was at it's very best with the Dreamcast and had the best 3 or 4 years in its history. Everything it did was gold.
With the Wii U Nintendo has not proved anything yet. Pikmin 3? Not exactly a system seller. 2D Mario that was gonna have ts ass handed to it by Rayman Legends? Obviously that wasn't a big game changer either.

If the Wii U is ever s popular and gets the great releases frequently like the Dreamcast did I will be amazed.

Nintendo is also getting some Capcom Support, they've always had.

Resident Evil Revelations is coming over to the WiiU and Monster Hunter Tri is getting an Update for the WiiU. Don't know if we'll see Darkstalkers 3 for WiiU, but I think Chances are High.

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="LastRambo341"][QUOTE="locopatho"] There's a limit. I don't expect my consoles to brew me beer and give me bl0wjobs... but I can expect standard features that the other consoles have. That's not unrealistic. If every other car has a steering wheel, radio and good fuel efficiency, it wouldn't be unreasonable to complain about a car with no wheel, no radio and crappy fuel efficiency.

OMG please don't bring up the "X Nintendo console doesn't play DVDs!" argument -.- So you want all consoles to be copy-paste? :P How about each one does something different and more unique than the other?

X Nintendo console doesn't do a LOT of things is the problem, among them, not playing most great games by the major devs! Which is important for a GAMES console. And yeah, they should play DVDs too, license costs 50 cents :P A certain base level of functionality should be expected across all brands, yes. Get the basics right, the worry about differentiation. If the WiiU was simply "different" that'd be fine. But it's not "different", it's just inferior. If it was a case of Xbox got new Bioshock as an exclusive, while WiiU got new Crysis as an exclusive, THAT would be two different consoles, THAT would be an argument that the WiiU was doing something different but equal. That's not how it works tho, is it? In reality Xbox (and PS and PC) are gonna get Bioshock and Crysis and every other game, and WiiU is gonna get crappy B and C tier games like Wii...?

What do you expect from a non-multimedia company like Nintendo compared to multimedia companies like Sony and Microsoft? You can get a DVD player for less than $20, not to mention that it also has Netflix and other programmes, so it got your silly movie requests :P You have other devices that play DVDs. DVDs have nothing to do with gaming. Do you even have a WiiU?

Seems odd as Madden and Fifa 2013 are on the system now. I guess they didnt sell well enough to warrant the next installment. Heil68
Lulz, no. They are not. EA released Fifa 12 for the Wii U and called it Fifa 13. Same for the Wii. So I really have no clue why anybody would still buy a sports game from EA on a Nintendo system. Just give me another Mario Strikers. The PS4 will fulfil my Fifa needs.

I didn't think Darksiders 3 was even going to get made. Did somebody finally purchase Vigil?

Ever think about the possibility that people might want to have less divices cluttering up their living room? People have the right to question why their $300 piece of harware is more than capable of playing Bluray or DVD but doesn't in order to save Nintendo 50 cents in licencing fees.

Sheep will continue to be in denile right up until the WiiU is dreamcasted. Blindest group of fans out of the bunch IMO.

LegatoSkyheart

WiiU is getting Dreamcasted right now.

3rd Party can't give a crap about WiiU and the anticipation of the PS4 is drowning out the WiiU.

That is another mystery, why the anticipation of Ps4 we know nothing about, more than play Killzone 4 and new Sackboy game. Rest can be played multiplat with PC :|

Dont think so, this can be found in Wiki;

"In a posting on Twitter, Platinum Games producer Atsushi Inaba expressed interest in acquiring the Darksiders franchise from THQ.

On January 28, 2013, Crytek started a new studio called Crytek USA in Austin, Texas consisting of the 35 former Vigil Games employees.

Other former Vigil Employees have gone to work for Retro Studios, Battlecry Studios, and more."

Yeah that's the thing for me, overall weak 1st party efforts and I can play multiplats on PC, rather, I prefer PC.

I'm still probably getting a PS4 a couple of years down the line to play PS3/360 exclusives, mostly Japanese stuff. In PS3's case it was MGS4, Valkyria Chronicles, Bayonetta, Vanquish. Although with Platinum Games and Nintendo getting closer, and MGS5 going PC; it is fully in the realm of possibility that I'll skip PS4 too :/

Not trying to defend EA here but they have actually did a decent job improving their sports games on a yearly basis lately. Madden 13 was completely different that Madden 12 thanks to the new physics engine. And they must care about the quality because they refuse to release NBA (INSERT NAME HERE)
So if EA Sports and EA in general are trying to make quality stuff than this is a big big loss for Nintendo. For whatever reason it supposed to be cool to hate on EA in a game forum. They only make some of the best games in the industry and the EA partners lable has gave console gamers some good stuff like Half-life 2, Bulletstorm, ect.
People can pretend Battlefield 3, Bad Company 2, Army of Two 40th day, Dead Space series, Syndicate, Need for Speed Shift 2 and Hot Pursuit, Mirror's Edge, Crysis 2, and the sports titles are crap if they want too. But I know better. EA has some great games and I have no problems with them.
I did play Madden on the Wii U though. Madden 13 and FIFA 13 were more like the 2011 versions that were tweeked. It was wrong on their part to do that but I suppose they were just trying to give Wii U only gamers an option.
If you are gonna hate a company for their practices than videogames should not even be a hobby of yours. All of them are out to make your money and will try and get a quick buck. Nintendo is the worst of them all. 2D Mario hasn't changed in 5 years! They were just investigated for their production practices. Hate on them for a while.

Madden 13 on the Wii U did not have the new physics engine, though. If EA is going to put inferior products on Nintendo's console for no reason, then Nintendo is better off without them. Nobody is going to purchase a port of last year's game with a roster update.

Of course I don't have a WiiU, it's a pile of crap. Not getting burnt again. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...

Comparing phones to video GAME consoles Lol Criticizing a GAMING console for not being able to play DVDs. Judging a console you don't have? :P Shame on you, I'm enjoying it

If it was a case of Xbox got new Bioshock as an exclusive, while WiiU got new Crysis as an exclusive, THAT would be two different consoles, THAT would be an argument that the WiiU was doing something different but equal. That's not how it works tho, is it? In reality Xbox (and PS and PC) are gonna get Bioshock and Crysis and every other game, and WiiU is gonna get crappy B and C tier games like Wii...?

What do you expect from a non-multimedia company like Nintendo compared to multimedia companies like Sony and Microsoft? You can get a DVD player for less than $20, not to mention that it also has Netflix and other programmes, so it got your silly movie requests :P You have other devices that play DVDs. DVDs have nothing to do with gaming. Do you even have a WiiU?

Why does my phone play music? Everyone has an iPod? Why does my phone play games? Get a 3DS? Why does my phone have a calculator? Everyone has a calculator? Why does my phone have Google Maps? Just haul an atlas around with you? Why does my phone have a guitar tuner? If you play guitar you should already have one?# Why does my phone go on internet/facebook? Everyone has a PC? etc etc etc. Quality, convenience, added value and matching the competition. More features are good. They don't matter to hardcore fans like you but they certainly matter to the average consumer. It's Nintendo's (and Sony/MS/etc's) job to impress us, not for us to make excuses for them. Of course I don't have a WiiU, it's a pile of crap. Not getting burnt again. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...

Why no mention of backward compatibility? Do features that other consoles have only become essential when Sony and Microsoft have them? If I had to choose between BC and the ability to play DVD's, I would choose BC, and I'm sure there is a higher cost in implementing BC than there is in purchasing a DVD license. You can stream movies on the Wii U in higher quality than DVD, anyway.
