EA, Valve wooing Nintendo for Wii U online distribution services? (Rumor)

[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;33381203]The gamecube and n64 did have a lot of 3rd party titles. Most of Nintendos rules were mainly to stop sexual content.[/QUOTE]

I'd love to see those because all the games remember from them were first party :v:

Well yea thats because those tended to be the best but Nintendo up to the wii had some of the best 3rd party support. I could make a huge list from resident evil to sonic adventure.

Just for reference when did they say this? Was it that time Microsoft tried to buy them out?

To be honest, Origin is the logical choice for Nintendo. EA has one of the largest presences in console gaming, and while I think Steam on the WiiU would be the most awesome thing ever, EA has the homefield advantage.

More than that I can assure you. They know they have the potential to be a powerhouse third-party developer but they have their reasons. I don't blame them for not wanting to continue on should they drop out.

In any-case I still have my doubts on this rumor. Had a discussion with some friends the other day and seems more of troll-bait. The fact that the tip-off came from an intern raises a lot of doubt and some questions.

[QUOTE=AltFanatic;33263301]that would be pretty cool for steam to be on wii u[/QUOTE]

Isn't wii u portable? Include non-wifi connection like the droid has, and I'll buy a wii u easy. That would be a steal.
