In an article at CVG, an anonymous EA source reveals that Nintendo’s strained relationship with EA was gone before it started, thanks to EA’s focus on games that only sell blockbusters. The article calls for many changes to be made at Nintendo, including modernizing their direction for their platforms and listening to what gamers want, rather than rehashing the same IPs over and over. It’s an interesting read, but one that will likely anger many of you, considering it recounts Nintendo’s recent failures with past failures and what Nintendo needs to do to change.
Regardless of whether you feel Nintendo is succeeding or failing, words from an anonymous EA source in the article make clear that Electronic Arts isn’t keen on supporting any platform that can’t produce massive sales.
“Nintendo was dead to us very quickly,” one EA source told me when asked about why the publisher fell out with Nintendo so soon after committing to the system.
“It became a kids IP platform and we don’t really make games for kids. That was pretty true across the other labels too. Even the Mass Effect title on Wii U, which was a solid effort, could never do big business, and EA like Activision is only focused on games that can be big franchises”.
This is a symptom of big Western publishers and has been for years now, even with those that have supported the Wii U. Ubisoft continues to release Assassin’s Creed titles year after year and the same can be said for Activision with its annual Call of Duty releases. Is the serialization of games hurting third-party support for Nintendo? According to EA, the answer is yes.

"REHASH!!!!!" ha ok nsmb admittedly is kind of rehashy BUT IT'S ONE PER FUCKING PLATFORM

you multiplat fags and sony, both of you guys make like 4 of the same series, re(ha)shared assets and all per console and nobody calls you out, like is mario only a rehash because it has consistent gameplay, sells well and is 25 years old? yea the only comparable franchises are sonic which hasn't been consistent and zelda (lol calling zelda a rehash ever m epic fw) do you nerds like having all the IPs die after 8 years at best? example sony, they abandon all their ips whenever they jump consoles and then rehash the same new shit over and over again

*epic sigh* i just wish people would stop fucking picking on nintendo

i believe this man is the messiah

ads to build hype and sports

i remember when all ea made was sports and they were still filthy rich

i personally don't blame them this time around

i mean the wii u as it stands is pretty much has an epikal n64 (good old dase blow cart oot?!?!?!?!) born or newcomer nintendo fanbase that generally snubs damn near anything that isn't first or second party and just thinks everything else is "gritty duedbro game!" there's simply no profit to be made, whereas the ps4 and xbox one actually do. why? because the loyalty for publishers on those plats isn't as prominent as it is on nintendo's side. and really that isn't the fault of nintendo; it's the people like you fd. this first/second party loyalty is why the wii u hasn't been salvaged as another gcn, where there was STILL third party, even with the tiny userbase.
