I'm actually... happy Nintendo will cut ties with western 3rd parties. EA gone, Ubisoft cancelled exclusivity deals (but still supports for now). Activision is an unknown.

I want a Puzzelda Nintendo that SW thinks is kiddy, not a The Legend of Skyrim box.

mandatory wm+ for Zelda U. No big empty fields. Colors. Wacky, female/kid friendly enemy designs. No voice acting, just grunts. Lets do dis, embrace niche sales in the 3-4 million range.

See, this is why industry people shouldn't have twitter if they can't keep their mouths shut. Is it worth it to get in trouble over airing your fanboy shit and using your title to give yourself credibility. I don't feel bad for him, too bad he has kids that got stuck with this dumb ass piece of shit. I hope they don't fire him just for their sake.

Its not even the bitter, its the fact that they are just unnecessary. What does it do for your position to make these besides being an idiot?

Yeah Zombi U is actually great, launch syndrome aside. It's not very polished but what alternatives are there if you are looking for a true survival horror game.

That's what lured me in. True survival horror and that sense of aloneness in the game. Truly great atmosphere.

what the hell did nintendo do to piss off EA so much.

ReadingRainbow4

The reason EA gives is their software doesn't sell enough to warrant more support.

For example they concluded that Fifa 14 would not be worth it based on the sales of the Wii U version of Fifa 13, aka Fifa 12 reskinned at full price launched several weeks after the other versions.

Then we have the fantastic ME3 port retailing for $60, instead of say a trilogy pack.

Yep that's EA. I think Ubisoft has been more successful on Wii U, but not enough to warrant exclusivity, so for now everything is multiplatform. No more Zombi U's / Rayman Legends exclusives. But Wii U is still getting Watch Dogs and stuff.

Activision is an unknown.

Not really. N64 and GC were profitable and went through the same situation.

If Wii U doesn't sell it's not because of this.

Eh, don't care either way.  Don't really care if they make / publish any games for Wii U at all.

No one knows how powerful the console is still, but there are indications that it is more powerful according to other tech experts.

I think for many instances developers talk up the systems they're making games for, more people that buy the console means more potential customers.

And not understanding that Nintendo would go handheld-only and potentially a hybrid future (at any rate, one system future) loooong before going 3rd party.

Also Nintendo controls the vast majority of Japan's gaming retail business as of late. 

Nintendo is in the process of expanding number of teams, and bolstering current teams.

There is no indication whatsoever of "pulling a Sega", they could limp on for a decade or two before reaching that stage. Sony is in a worse state, the entire company depends on PS4 and they are in the process of "cutting the fat".
