“It’s been 60 days since we launched Need for Speed Most Wanted on the Wii U. We’ve launched four games. We’re proud of them. They’re in the marketplace and they’re selling. The guys inside the studio are looking at the Wii U tech and they’re looking at the platform. They understand it. As it develops, if there’s an opportunity to publish more games on the Wii U, we’ll do that. We’re not writing it off. We’re not not developing for the Wii U. We’re just watching it, and we’re really focused right now on PS4 and Xbox One, to really nail that transition.”

 

I am now convinced that EA is no longer butthurt.

Glad all thats over..... at least they were mature and classy about everything and not big whiny babies the whole time

It's a trap!

[EvilMoogle]

I've been saying this all along...

[TheUltimateWaddleDee]

It was only some developers like the Twitter guy who was being butthurt (although I still say that the fallout of the Origin Deal killed that partnership announced at E3 11, otherwise we would have gotten Crysis 3 and Battlefield).

They still hate the U... They are just trying to be politically correct about it now, instead of just saying "Wii U is trash' the say "We are watching U"

They are waiting for Nintendo to sell more consoles.

I just want Battlefield 4!.... Battlefield 4 is EA right? lol

Funny how EA is the 3rd party that understands the Wii U's hardware the most.

Ea is just talking out of their bottoms.

Thy made some serious public mistakes and now don't want everyone to hate them (translating to poor finances...)

Thrive been doing damage control. That's all.

Lol EA

So they're not making games for the Wii U, they're just watching it. Nice to know!

[Distractionwolf]

In an attempt to not be a troll I get that its good for us to have developers...I guess? But for me personally I really don't care if EA stops developing for Wii U entirely. I can't remember the last game they made I liked. They are a first tier company that releases like a shovelware knockoff brand - only vaguely different versions of the exact same game year after year, none of their franchises look appealing to me. Pass.

All this tells me is disney has told them to make it work. The star wars games that's coming out you betta believe is disney is funding they will make sure they are on Nintendo console. Disney went to EA and said make it work because those games won't be skipping Wii U. That's all I see this as.

There was an article that Criterion were struggling with the wii u hardware to get the frame rate up for Need for Speed but approached Nintendo for advice on how to increase performance and Nintendo advised them of how to achieve it and they did. That's probably as far as any part of EA went in trying to improve performance. Unfortunately Criterion are not doing the next Need for Speed and its a different engine not currently available to wii u. So the story started well and then ended up highly negative to wii u owners thanks EA HQ decisions.

If ea is serious about the wiiu then where is battlefield 4

If only Disney would force SE to bring Kingdom Hearts 3 to the Wii U -.-

Kingdom Hearts - a game that would actually sell EXTREMELY well on the Wii U? This has nothing to do with Disney.
