You do know that there will probably not be a good internet browser on it, and the article clearly said that they might be only using it for the digital distribution part of the wii u. Nothing else.ThingWhatSqueaks said:
EA Wants to Make Wii U an Origin Exclusive

I can just imagine the Heavy running around in a Mario hat now and the Scout with a Link hat. Maybe even get a custom skin for the Pyro so he/she/it/robot looks like Samus.scorptatious said:Not sure about having Origin on there, but having Steam on there? That would be kinda awesome.
I can finally play Team Fortress 2 on a Nintendo system! It's like a dream come true! There will probably even be Nintendo themed hats!
This probably won't happen, but's it's nice to dream...
OT: While it would suck to have in ONLY be Origin on the Wii-U because it potentially blocks other 3rd party developers, I don't see anything bad with Origin being on there. I've had no problems whatsoever with Origin, and the fact that we could get some Bioware games on the Wii-U because of Origin is actually a plus in my book.
*nearly spits out the water he's drinking in total shock*
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Are. You. SERIOUS? The "spyware on your PC" EA? The "CALL OF DUTY SUX AND BATTLEFIELD WILL TAKE ALL OF YOUR MARKET AND...and....Uhh...We take it all back now that we didn't get perfect scores!" EA? The "You're mom's gonna hate it" EA?!
...Please, Nintendo. Reconsider that opinion! PLEASE. EA is one of the last companies you want to partner up with at that level.
Well NO SHIT! EA wants to topple Steam, but Steam is already miles ahead of it in terms of mileage, service, and goodwill. So of COURSE, they will try to find some way to gain a monopoly on some part of the market so they can keep trying!
Now, steam on the WiiU....That sounds weird as hell, but I honestly support it. I like steam. I like Valve. I think they'll do a much better job making the WiiU attractive than EA. Although the best case scenario is that they open up their marketplace to BOTH of them. More variety is always good.
I see EA isn't looking long term at this. When the new MS and Sony systems roll out, Nintendo is going to have their hands on this ancient tech that nobody is going to want to put games on, because it's not going to be as popular as they think.
My prediction:The Wii U will bomb, because most people who play games in this generation already have a system of the same caliber as this one. The ONLY reason that it's going to sell at all is because of First Party titles.
Why would I buy another system that's capable of 3rd party titles? I already have a PS3 and a 360.

Steam yes. Origin maybe. But don't muck up your online again, Nintendo. And don't just capitulate to one third party. You want many third parties to join you.
And now the minuscule interest I had in the console has been completely dissolved (that is assuming Nintendo take up the offer).
Seriously, thought Nintendo's not that stupid. They probably KNOW we as a community hate Origin, so it's not gonna happen. Hopefully.
Dear Nintendo

Don't get me wrong, if Origin was fleshed out, had a wide variety of games and wasn't as buggy as hell, I would have no problem. Consider it as an exclusive for next generation though.

Nintendo from what I've gathered have always been very independent in the gaming world. They rely very heavily on their first party content and own what are still some of the biggest names in gaming especially for the younger audience. I can't seen them taking shit from EA and having to answer to them.
But it's also well known that Nintendo have never been great for online functionality so there is a possibility of needing support on that front, irony being that EA's origin isn't much of an improvement, I've held off BF3 because one of my friends keeps getting Diconnected mid match, sounds very annoying.

If Nintendo wants to make an online service that appeals to western gamers, step one is to ditch friend codes. After that, I don't care what they do. It's immediately better.
Damn EA.
I think what nintendo need is to listen to Valve.
Not damn EA, alright...?
Maybe if the Wii U fails, which is likely, then nintendo will develop as a third party. (please?)

EA really are scrubs, are they? They think everyone should follow THEIR fascist marketing decisions.
Oh wait, didn't Hitler try this already?

I'd be interested to see if the Wii-U even succeeds first. It looks a little too freaky for my liking
