EA Sports wants stronger user base before it returns to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
You could say that EA Sports – and EA as a whole – has abandoned Wii U. After releasing Madden NFL 13 and FIFA 13 last year, the publisher now has no games coming to the platform.
So what would it take for EA Sports to return to Wii U? It all comes down to the user base.
EA Sports head Andrew Wilson gave some insight while speaking with MCV:
“I build for a userbase. I made games on Facebook because I thought people were there that wanted to play them. Then it became apparent to me that either I had the wrong game or they weren’t there. We had a strong offering on Wii U at launch. The platform hasn’t had the take-up. Our games hasn’t had the take-up we’d have liked. So at this moment we are not focused there. Now they could do a range of things that might change that situation, and we’d never count them out. And should there be a sizeable gamer base there in the future, we would build games for Wii U. But for us it’s less about building for a platform, and more about building for a group of gamers on a platform where they are. And sports gamers weren’t there.”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Gamekult recently published an interview with Hideki Konno, one of the leading staffers on Mario Kart 8. It’s not up in English, but a few tidbits – which are very interesting – have been translated.
Some of the points mentioned in the interview can be found below. The information batch covers when the game’s development began, confirms EAD Kyoto as the only team working on the game, and has some details about customization and track size, the possibility of a Double Dash mode with the GamePad, and more.
– MK8 development began just more than a year ago.
– No others studio involved, 100% EAD Kyoto.
– About the Gamepad use: “Our priority is to provide the remote display on the GamePad only. We have other ideas, but that’s all we can tell you for now.”
– Why no F-Zero instead ?: “H. Konno: It has always been a Mario Kart per console, so we wanted to get a new one to have more people interested by our new system. But I also hope that there will be an F-Zero.”
– About tracks size: “In Mario Kart 8 tracks have also been narrowed compared to Mario Kart Wii and reflects more the size of the road.”
– About customization: “Like Mario Kart 7 (but) with a little more choice”
– No editor even if they talk about it.
– About a Double Dash mode using the Gamepad: “H. Konno: For Mario Kart Wii, 7 and 8, we decided not to use it. But this is a request that is often heard, so maybe we can meet this desire.”
