what can nintendo do to win ea back?

[routerbad]

Add support for Origin integration into the OS.  Not a complete takeover by Origin, but hooks into the OS so you can add Origin login and have access to it through the OS.  I have no problem with that, and they added uPlay support.

What can EA do to win Nintendo back is what you mean. Their games suck and they wanted to take over the Nintendo Network? Move on Nintendo you're not missing anything with these guys.

 bit of a broad statement too say their games suck i think we are missing a hell of a lot not having them dead space 3 was amazing mass effect is my favourite game series and i really like battlefield and army of two so i would hope nintendo can have them onboard tbh as it will hurt them to not have one of the biggest publishers putting their best games on wii u.

Nintendo can help Activision and Ubisoft make a ton of money from the Wii U.XD

Hardly. Despite what people may think about EA's business practices they have a lot of quality games. Also wanting Origin on the Wii U is not the same as wanting to take over the Nintendo network. Without EA's games on the Wii U but being released on their competitors consoles will have an affect on Nintendo's business. Unfortunately Nintendo needs EA more then they need Nintendo. That's not to say Nintendo should give in to EA's demands but they need to meet in the middle and there needs to be a compromise just like there was between EA and Microsoft for the Xbox 360 soon after it launched.

the wii u is gtting the good ea games. Mass effect, bf4 is probably coming, need for speed. allthe other ea games are pretty bland if you ask me.

I've heard that the deal that EA offered Nintendo Microsoft took for their nextbox. But it's just a rumor.

 

I think Nintendo has to sell a lot more consoles and prove that it can be a strong seller for third party games. So far the user-base is small. Once there's some good first party games, mixed with the success of Ubisoft and other third parties will have to force EA to change their mind, they'd have to be mad to loose out on $$$. But it's going to have to be a journey taken by Nintendo with getting more people to buy the console along with Wii U owners to buy third party games

I hope so because buying a 720 just to play ME4 is not in my wallet's plans >.<

I think you guys are confusing EA with the actual game developers. I love a lot of the games they publish, but they are still nazis.

It needs to happen faster. Which I'm sure by next Nintendo Direct and E3 it will.

I feel that EA's titles namely Battlefield have degraded over the years on consoles. Yeah Mass Effect is an awesome IP, but it isn't like they are the only developer and/or producer in the world. Yes EA is big but what's to say that Nintendo and it's developers can't make a new IP smash hit that is Nintendo exclusive? ESPECIALLY considering the Wii U and its unknown capabilities, couple that with Nintendo's revolutionary way of thinking and underdog spirt and I'd say there is a real diamond in the rough here. Not to mention titles such as Super Mario Bros and Super Smash Bros which I played in my childhood I still view today as some of the best games I have ever played, I can't think of any titles that come close to how I feel about those.

E.A are nothing but bully's and money grabbers. We don't need them. 

 

Nintendo don't need a company like them either, They can screw off, they can also shove their micro transaction bullcrap up their buttholes too, its extortion what they do and I'm amazed they get away with it. I hate them with a passion.

 

I'm never buying a E.A game again. #BoycottEA

 but it's nintendo so they won't what you'll get from them is pikmin mario and zelda although i agree that ea need to really tone down their money grabbing ways nintendo need ea if they want to be taken seriously alongside ps4 and 720 imo.

One of the things the Wii U needs in order to succeed is big third party develppers like EA. Their business practices may have a lot left to be desired but they publish some of the biggest AAA games out there and all the console manufacturers need them. You may care less about them but Nintendo needs to get them on their side and there has to be some kind of solution to allow their games to be released on the Wii U. I'm a multi platform gamer but not everyone is in that position and for those who only have a Wii U will end up missing out on these games.

[xBASSxMONSTAx]

Well whatever Nintendo do, I hope they don't sell their soul.

Yea, if they could somehow create an Origin channel for Wii U, that would be cool.  Right now, it doesnt look like EA and Nintendo are even at the table to negotiate.  I think that ship has sailed, and until the Wii U has a userbase that EA cant afford to ignore, they will show lackluster support. 

 

Like someone else pointed out, EA is just the publisher.  Its unfortunate that quite a few quality developers are either owned or contracted by EA.  EA as a publisher sucks, but then again most publishers are tyrants in the end. 

[alan123]

i don't want EA 

 

with all the problems i am having with Sim City 

[cadrethree]

Nintendo can buy EA, keep the IP they own and close 75 percent of the company down.
