EA Looking Into Developing for Nintendo Platforms Again, Hints at NX Support

2nd November, 0 replies

Electronic Arts is looking at "opportunities" to work with Nintendo again in the future and release games for its platforms once more.

"I'm going to address that slightly differently," said Electronic Arts CEO Justin Wilson during the company's latest investors call. "As we look to the future, we see a world where more people are playing on more platforms in more geographies than ever before. We see the platform cycle now not just as a traditional six-year console cycle, but as kind of a six-month refresh rate on mobile devices, smart TVs, Internet-enabled refrigerators, or whatever it might be."

"And what we're doing in terms of resource allocation is really investing at a core digital platform level, at an engine level, and at a game architecture level to ensure that we are able to deliver amazing experiences, six inches to 60 inches and beyond, two minutes to two-hour session times and beyond, across any and all relevant devices where gamers are playing."

Wilson didn't mention the Nintendo NX by name, however he did state that Electronic Arts is going to look into developing games for Nintendo platforms.

"As it relates to Nintendo, we've had a tremendous relationship with them over the years," said Wilson. "And we will evaluate any and all opportunities with them in the same way we do all platform opportunities."

Electronic Arts has in the past supported Nintendo platforms, however it has only released four games for the Wii U.
