So yeah. EA seams to be upset. What do you guys think? Is this an issue for Nintendo, or can Nintendo make this an issue for EA?

IT'S IN THE GAME

I imagine the proposition was more like, "use Origin or we're not going to support your platform." I don't really care, I don't remember the last EA game I bought so it's not a blow for me personally, but for Nintendo it's pretty significant.

I love this video. Thank you thank you thank you. Screw you EA. Ironically enough I hated since the early 90's...which coincides with Trip Hawkins leaving the company.

I stopped buying EA games when they stopped MySims online.

But thankfully, I found out about Animal Crossing..... SO SCREW MYSIMS!

SCREW EA!!

E.A are the worst developers on earth. #boycottEA

[Penguin101]

Oh my GOD E.A should just stop with the butthurt and put Crysis 3 on the Wii U!!! I guess it's a little too late, sales wouldn't be good. Nintendo should come to Crytek for a third party exclusive instead running on CryEngine3!

 

Let's NOT boycott EA here. Need for Speed Most Wanted U is one of the first games published by EA that made an effort. Let's buy the game to show our support that EA games can and will sell, so a solid business model can't be ignored anymore.

I can understand that. Though i do wonder how the word obtained its derrogitory slang use in na.

The historical definition of the word.

1. a bundle of sticks or twigs, esp when bound together and used as fuel
2. (Engineering / Metallurgy) a bundle of iron bars, esp a box formed by four pieces of wrought iron and filled with scrap to be forged into wrought iron
3. (Cookery) a ball of chopped meat, usually pork liver, bound with herbs and bread and eaten fried
4. a bundle of anything
vb (tr)
1. to collect into a bundle or bundles
2. (Clothing, Personal Arts & Crafts / Knitting & Sewing) Needlework to do ogregoting on (a garment, piece of cloth, etc.)

How the?

I did particularly like south parks take on it.

True. But what it represents in western culture these days and how the man worded it make it very vulgar and offensive to many people including me.

Well, we don't know if Nintendo said "no" or gave them the middle finger, verbally of course. Maybe they said no and EA's begging led to a middle finger. Either way it's too bad. The end result is likely less revenue for both companies. Nintendo clearly hurt EA's feelings, they seem to have taken it personally. It's kind of funny; they look foolish and stubborn to me. Much like a pouting teenager.

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

God EA are terrible, seems like they are only getting worse too.

[BlueBlur]

So no Mass Effect 4 on Wii U?

[Scumbag]

I despise EA with a passion. Not only are they butthurt because they couldn't charge consumers for their Origin crap they got even more butthurt when Nintendo denied "Online Pass", the greedy B.S that EA invented.

[TheUltimateWaddleDee]

The last EA game I'm buying is Need For Speed Most Wanted U, just because they actually put effort into that version.
