Wow, guess EA honestly is going to have a tantrum over the failed (rumored) Origin as Wii U's online system.

no no no!
its more a matter of where to invest in right now. Do you rework your gen3 games to work on WiiU (which is struggling and not the home of the EA sports demographic) OR do you prepare your franchises for the upcoming boxes (taht do house EA sports fans)?
They can always port frojm Gen3 to WiiU later... but only one chance to jump to "next Gen" with consumers on Orbis/Durango.
Its just playing the odds.
TW 14 is 100% not coming to WiiU. FACT!
(sorry if harsh, but its true)
but TW 15... Well lets just say that is a different story
this makes tones of sense
the fuck lol

This is getting embarrassing...
I mean, previous Nintendo consoles, even the Wii, had alright third party support!

Madden 13 only just launch for the WiiU in November maybe EA bench's the game until the 720/ps4 games are going to come out.
Not yet they don't.

Might just come down to opportunity costs. The personnel that would work on the Wii U port would be just as qualified to work on the new Sony and MS machines, which EA is expecting to have a stronger debut. So more money for the same investment.
I don't see any reason to throw out that hypothesis yet.
I wish Nintendo would invest in a sports studio or two if third parties aren't going to port any of their sports titles to Wii U.
I remember Ken Griffey Jr Baseball on the SNES and N64 being two excellent titles, for instance. NBA Courtside wasn't so bad. And Nintendo did do Pro Wrestling way back when... geez. Why can't they do a 3d remake of that game? Probably would be better than most of Yuke's Wrestling games. =p

Not sure you can address this, but was the decision not to have Tiger this year on Wii U possibly due to short lead time?
For what it's worth, it's good news that there are future plans moving forward.

It's a shame because the Wii ones were the best versions (Had Disc Golf and Crazy Golf modes)

So basically wait until the next gen versions are out and amazing people with their bump in graphical fidelity, and then release a version that looks like the old Tiger Woods on Wii U? Doesn't sound like a winning plan. Why not give the Wii U a version that looks exactly like the competition this year without making folks feel like they're getting a noticeably inferior title?
They had the most included courses and extra modes, but they looked absolutely dreadful. In the end I went with the PS3 version + Move just because of how much better the courses looked and played.

I don't see why there needs to be grand conspiracy. Perhaps the Wii U is simply not meeting expectations in terms of both HW and SW and consequently a Wii U SKU wouldn't provide a good ROI.
EDIT: Oh I got confused and thought this was the other "Arkham".
How is a catastrophic decline on the Wii platform a good reason to bring it to the Wii's successor?
Interesting. Do you work for EA/have insider information or something?TW 14 is 100% not coming to WiiU. FACT!

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Dreamcasting and Gamecubing roll off the tongue pretty easily. Whats the WiiU's equivalent since it seems to be plunging harder and faster than both? WiiUing sounds weird.
dude...are you talking to yourself
And than they'd say "we can't compete with Nintendo!"
EA needs to put some big boy pants on and stop shunning Nintendo over the Origin deal (if it is true of course)
This is EA we're talking about, they rarely revamp engines - if anything, the Wii U should've been manna from heaven.

Nintendo developed the WiiU in order to give developers more "creative freedom". Nintendo loves a creative challenge, but 3rd parties have made it clear that they would rather stick to what they know works. If the WiiU is going to take off, Nintendo is going to have to do the innovative grunt work, show a trail of success, and only then will most 3rd parties finally commit to the system. They are content at this time to wait on Nintendo to show them how it's done. I'm sure we'll see more sports games arrive after WiiU Sports releases

Man, Iwata can't be fired soon enough. Getting tired of this lack a daze response.

Damn, the TW games on the Wii were some of my favorites.
If i remember correctly Tiger Woods 09 on the Wii was one of the few multiplat's to outsell the HD twin versions but the TW10 Wii version for whatever reason flopped badly.

Thank you, based Nintendo. Save us from our creatively bankrupt selves.

Need to just be straight up and say something along the lines of: "Do you not agree that the continued publisher comments regarding support for your new console, and your subsequent silence on the matter could be detrimental to consumer adoption?"
But yeah, third party support is pretty vital these days...

There can't be anything to this Origin WiiU deal. Unless EA actually invested money and Nintendo pulled out, it just seems farfetched.
EA is not entitled to that sort of relationship, this is pure business based on numbers in my opinion.

Basically yes was a tight timeline to deliver a quality experience. Nintendo was too tight lipped for too long. Believe it or not EA plans its iterative titles about a year in advance, so when you are planning a new SKU to support and you have nothing but big question marks you tend to worry.
I think it was the right call in the end. Unless yall wanted a gimped version with last minute gamepad gimmicks :/
But next year....
not what you said
but the ea decision. not sure why they would skip a year
edit nevermind

I dont doubt that for a second. Probably the wisest course of action. And I also assume that since you have next gen versions being readied that the other two console makers have delivered the goods in a timely fashion.

From a financial standpoint, you can't blame these developers for taking the "wait and see" approach with the WiiU. For the morst part, budgets for a WiiU game is around that of PS3/360, but the WiiU only has a small fraction of the install base. Right now only Ubisofts ZombiiU is a major 3rd party exclusive title with a PS3/360 budget that I can think of.

So, reading this correctly - and I hope I am - we're looking at Wii U in the mix next year for a TW iteration (presumably built off the Gen 3 builds, with Gen 4 versions out as well) and - possibly - an improvement in the EA/Nintendo situation now that Nintendo is a little less tight-lipped (which would perhaps explain the slate EA brought to launch for the system).
Correct?

Not to poo-poo people's livelyhood but by christ I hope the E3 segment doesnt take up half an hour. I think the crowd will actually boo if "unprecedented support/relationship" is mentioned again.
One per club.

Thanks so much for your response. It makes sense, and Nintendo fans have something to look forward to for next year.

But that argument doesn't work when they don't take a wait and see approach for the Durango/Orbis and just assume they'll sell well, going as far as ignoring any failures (like the PS3 starting up)
