any game is good at this point in time
ugh EA is pathetic....
Does anyone really think MSony added Origin to their consoles?
off topic but what game is this? it looks familiar
Seems to me EA wants to forcibly push new console buyers to the next xbox or playstation. Wii U might be getting the Dreamcast treatment. Now I really want to know what went wrong behind the scenes with Nintendo and EA.
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

It's Madden 25 that really sticks out, since they're actually notably raising investment in Madden.
Not yet they don't.OR do you prepare your franchises for the upcoming boxes (taht do house EA sports fans)?
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.Seems to me EA wants to forcibly push new console buyers to the next xbox or playstation. Wii U might be getting the Dreamcast treatment.

this makes tones of sense

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.
It's a shame because the Wii ones were the best versions (Had Disc Golf and Crazy Golf modes)
How is a catastrophic decline on the Wii platform a good reason to bring it to the Wii's successor?Another more reason to bring it on Wii U, then.
Interesting. Do you work for EA/have insider information or something?TW 14 is 100% not coming to WiiU. FACT!

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

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.
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.
Thank you, based Nintendo. Save us from our creatively bankrupt selves.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
Unfortunately, I am sure that journalists have contact Nintendo about these matters, and they have given the usual "no comment" response. It's not likely that you will hear anyone from the lower levels of the company make any sort of statement. It'd have to be straight from Iwata or Reggie, and there's no easy way to get a statement out of them.
Man, Iwata can't be fired soon enough. Getting tired of this lack a daze response.

"lack a daze"? Really?
Vitaing ? Nah, doesn't have the same ring to it. To go the way of Vita ?
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.
read between the lines. Info is there.
Was too lazy to spell "daisical" correctly but "daze" sounded cool so I kept it."lack a daze"? Really?
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....

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.
