Alex Ward of Criterion Games says that Wii U versions of future Need for Speed games should release the same time as other consoles, now that the studio has gotten used to the hardware.
He also praises the hardware, stating" Fantastic hardware [the Wii U], I love it. It really got me back into Nintendo software."
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a recent EA Earnings Call, that the next Battlefield "it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
Another? ANOTHER?
Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.
Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.
This is nothing too new

They had plans of a universe of live service games
Also these studios made 2042 there is no new massive team its the same team

This is all again same news different year but it seems very few remember what happened before covid.
At least they put car freshner trees up their asses to think smelling their own farts smells good at this point to be so out of touch.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
So, what ham-fisted conspiracy driven excuse do the trolls plan on using to try and discredit these guys?
In all honesty, I'm not particularly surprised. Nobody chose to really take advantage of the Wii U's power and these guys have at least shown that there is some decent horsepower in the console. Hopefully more games take the same route.
Criterion i will buy all ur WiiU games Most Wanted U looks remarkable.
All i know is spec numbers mean nothing as NFS wiiu shows that with little effort they get wiiu singing and on par with the best pc version except the night time in wiiu NFS is their best night time to date,i say little effort because they were not using a gpgpu focused GAME ENGINE.
@ lilbro and link
after playing over an hour on MOSTWANTED ps3 version i come to realize the game formula did not have ROOTS of nfs grounded. to much seed of BURNOUT. and burnout is my lease racing game i would play,therefore was disappointed return game for refund quickly. GHOST game studio WILL make this Coming nov title they replied to my e-mail in short they said: this title will not be like criterions mostwanted or hotpursuit.
there is hope still!!!!
p.s.
in event EA return DEV.KIT back to Blackbox studio or give it to Ghost studio i might return to my fav racing game. FOR NOW Burnout FOR speed NOT!!!!!! Happening for me.
SORRY EXTREME
just could not get into crashing instead of racing. in a racing game im like competitive. hunger for first place. crashing into on coming traffic,trees,telephone poles,mail boxes not my thing. GT3,GT5,PROJECT CARS,RIDGE RACER,NEED FOR SPEED my favorites. to me burnout is like a crash dummy simulation racing game for gamers to driving around crashing than actually race to finishline. different strokes for different folks.
getting in a FORMULA1 for pure speed is for me. when im not playing around with NFS
