EA’s future support support has been
somewhat unclear as of late. The company
first indicated that it had no games in
development for the system whatsoever,
but additional comments seemed to
contradict that.
EA president of labels Frank Gibeau has
now given some specifics on the
publisher’s Wii U stance.
No games coming from EA will be hitting
Wii U this fall – ruling out the likes of Need
for Speed: Rivals, among others. However,
Gibeau did note: “We have guys that our
looking at the Wii U in the studio system
right now as an opportunity for the future”.
“We have a good partnership with
Nintendo. We released four games on
the platform over the last year and
we’re pretty proud of Need For
Speed, and Madden, and FIFA and
Mass Effect. We have guys that our
looking at the Wii U in the studio
system right now as an opportunity
for the future, but we have no
publicly announced Wii U games that
we’re going to release this fall.”
“We’re really excited about the Xbox
One and the PS4 and that’s a pretty
big endeavor in and of itself. We have
four titles out on the Wii U that are
active right now, so looking at how
things unfold, that’s where our focus
is right now.”
Gibeau later said that EA as a whole thinks
of Wii U as a next-gen console, which is
grouped together with the PlayStation 4
and Xbox One. When asked why the
publisher has no projects in the works for
Wii U though, Gibeau said that there’s “no
more context for me to add.”

What

the

f**k do they even want? First it's current gen now it's nextgen... Are things clearing up between the two?

Remember EA is not one person. EA is filled with a bunch of people with different opinions about the Wii U. One week a president of one section will diss the Wii U. And the next week, a developer would praise it. Or the other way around.

But what this guy is basically saying is we are going to crawl back to Nintendo asking for forgiveness when they unleash their games.

I like how he said that they have a good partnership with nintendo lol what it seems to me is that he came up with the excuse of "let's see how things go with the ones we have out now" to try to cover their buts with all the sht they've been pulling.

*sigh* Remember, this is EA we're talking about. They'll say anything and everything and it's opposite if they think it can make them money. Don't think they care about the Wii U either way. If it can make them money, they'll say they love it. If Microsoft pays them money, they'll say Sony and Nintendo are dead. EA PEOPLE. EA

Well im happy with the article. There might be a chance for EA launch their games on the Nintendo Wii U it seems.

It would be awesome seeing tittles like Battlefield being on the Wii U in the future.

With everything know so far about the XBone not to mention Microsoft's recent business tactics,this is EA doing what they do best....Professional @ss-kissing.

[TheDoctor_13]

I honestly don't care for any of EA's titles except the Need For Speed franchise. Please put Rivals on the Wii U. 

[Alex Wolfers]

Make up your mind EA!

[Julio93]

I swear the employee's at EA just act like a biopolar girlfriend sometimes.

[tboss]

make your biggest effort to making games good, and then i will be interested.

[Azure-Edge]

Meh, call me when EA becomes a good company and/or puts out something worthwhile. 

[Xerocks]

EA: "What's that? People are reacting negatively toward Microsoft and Sony? Go make an announcement that we like Wii U again!"

[MorbidGod]

First it's next Gen, then last Gen, then next Gen.

[Pjsprojects]

Simply covering all bases due to the bad press on Xbone, if Xbone don't sell well then they will go with which console does end up selling well.

With this in mind it's worth noting that they also said they all fully behind 360 for the next three years at least! simply down to install base.

Bulls**t EA, your getting too much hate, and now it's time for Damage control.

Something in me feels that they just hit the untapped power that, Shi'nen was talking about

[KingBoo]

[3Dude]
