I dislike EA as well, but seriously people, they're just gonna be publishing these games, not developing them. Let me get this part straight: Dice is making a new Star Wars game, Visceral is making a new Star Wars game, BioWare is making a new Star Wars game:

That's a good point. I guess the good thing about that is EA damn sure has the money to seriously market the games they publish.

EA having the rights to Star Wars is bad. Very, very bad. For me, anyway.

It seems unlikely that any EA titles are going to be showing up on Wii U: http://playeressence.com/eas-unprecedented-partnership-with-nintendo-and-other-fairy-tails/

That was a damn good article. I had no idea how shady EA was being. I was going to wait for the PS4 to launch before I invested in a next-gen system but now I'm tempted to buy a Wii U just because EA sucks so hard.

Let's be fair Syd, you wouldn't give a shit about any of these games at all in the first place. I mean, they'll likely be sequels of games you haven't even played or ones you've mentioned you don't care about. I mean unless you're a big Battlefront, KOTOR, or Flight Sim fan.

From a business standpoint, I'd definitely want them on the Wii U. But I'm also realistic about the system's capabilities, and don't expect an engine that's meant to run things on PS4 or 720 to work out on the Wii U.

I am still holding out for Rebel Assault 3, and I will cut people if I don't get to see Rookie 1 pissing off the canon spergs again.

Let's be fair, I do care about Star Wars as a franchise. Maybe not as much as Black Zarak, but who does? I loved Force Unleashed and been meaning to pick up the sequels. I loved the Rogue Squadron series. Have I played KOTOR? No. Am I interested in Battlefront? No. Do I want good Star Wars games made available for me to play on my console of choice? Yes. Would I buy them? Yes. Well, except probably Battlefront.

Also, some of these games are inevitably going to be tie-ins for the upcoming movies.

I wish they would give the old Star Wars games from the SNES era a makeover in the same vein as The New Super Mario Bros. It might even be nice if they could make a Star Wars rpg that would be similar to Skyrim or Fallout 3. Too bad Bethesda couldn't get ahold of this franchise...
