Wii U Can't Handle EA Sports UFC

They said that the PC may be able to. They just have to see if they can get PCs that cost less than $3000 to successfully emulate the Xbox One version of the game, and then they will let us know.

sounds like they just didn't want to port it because they know Wii U owners don't event want it. Why can't EA just be honest about these things? Technically a lot of games can't run on the twins but they're scaled down to do so from PC.

It is true you know. wii u is such a joke right now lol.

@Joedgabe: wii owners are even staying away from the pii u

Couldn't care less about sports games.

I love MMA, but I refuse to give a single dollar to UFC/Dana White or EA (after they bought out the exclusive NFL license). Screw both entities.

Excuses excuses. Just a bit of sweat on a character and they call it massive.

Ofc the WII U can do that. They are just too lazy to make a port. Or scared that it sells less.

I thought I was the only one that noticed that lol

Glad to see I'm not the only one who possesses basic reading skills.

EA and WiiU aren't really going to be doing business this gen. That said, its not really like EA and Wii did business last gen apart from some Tiger Woods love.

EA for a time had Wii support that actually tried early on (Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, The Simpsons, MySims, Sims 2 Castaway, Boom Blox, Dead Space Extraction; granted most of what I mentioned here was multiplatform, but it still wasn't bad support by any means). It got worse around 2010. "Unprecedented relationship" my ass.

LOL Somebody's butthurt about the WiiU lol dang I didn't know that was possible

Most of that is pretty mediocre support besides Boom Blox and Dead Space. (I know MOH was pretty good but still a PSP port)

LOL......

Add it to the now gigantic list of games Nintendo fans never wanted in the first place.

Possibly. Maybe it isn't cost effective? Do you think this game would sell well on WiiU?

If it's handled the same way as many of the Wii U ports, no. It wouldn't be cost effective, nor sell well.

Fair enough.

@YearoftheSnake5: this has nothing, zero, zilch to do with the port quality and everything to do with the low sales they receive from Nintendo fans no matter what they do. Third party has a long history of selling less on Nintendo and they treat it accordingly. The support ubisoft showed the wii u is proof. Look at AC 4. Good port, DLC supported, didn't sell.

Barely...

No, it doesn't have DLC support. I have it, and it's not there. Don't believe me? Here's a link.

Edit: And yes, it does have to do with port quality. Timing and price also play a factor. Who's going to buy a version of Mass Effect 3, Splinter Cell, Sniper Elite, and more with missing features and lacking support when the user likely has another platform that they can get a fully supported version for? Gamers aren't as stupid as some would like to believe.

Well, the Wii U can handle 1080p at 60fps. The difference is that to do so certain texture effects have to be lowered compared to, say, the PS4. The whole 'resolutiongate' has been blown way out of proportion. 1080p at 60fps isn't difficult to do. My 5 year old PC has played games in 1080p at 60fps for years, but it isn't as powerful as the hardware in the Wii U.

I wasn't trying to play the resolution card necessarily. EA was saying the Wii U couldn't handle the game, I was saying that even if it could that EA wouldn't make a port for it. And I didn't say it but my reason for that is I'm sure EA (while avoiding saying it) feels that their games get little consumer support on the Wii U and it's not worth their time and money to develop ports for it.

@nintendoboy16: Well here's the deal, it sold shit before any DLC was released anywhere. Like almost every third party game on Nintendo pre and post DLC era.

no dlc for nintendo was announced beforehand.

Well fair enough. And I have to agree with that. EA just doesn't care about the console, and it has nothing to do with which resolution it can achieve. It's selling too badly for them to bother. But they keep making bull sh*t excuses. I'd rather they just came out and said they don't like the console.
