Title: Might Electronic Arts be working with Nintendo?
Post by: BadBreathBear on August 29, 2003, 07:17:55 PM
I mean every time we hear that Miyamoto is meeting up with someone, we end up getting a new collaboration. Just look at Metal Gear Solid. Wasn't Miyamoto helping EA with their Madden games? What do you think EA might do for Nintendo in return?

They are getting games that have GBA connectivity features in them. (They are also getting a "new" sims game.)

They might be working on something behind closed doors. Do you think Twin Snakes came together a month before E3?

No, it was around June 2002 right after Eternal Darkness released.

And EA and Nintendo are collaborating in order to make these GBA/GC connective features, I wouldn't expect a new game out of this one.

perhaps EA will be doing osme technical work for the next ocnsole. Their quite talented programmers. Ea could rake up some huge money of the royalties of soem middleware.

"There's bound to be at least one new game somewhere in there."

well in a meeting just a few weeks ago, i think nintendo revealed a movie that showed up coming games on the gamecube, but some myserious footage was there- it had a movie of battlefield 1942- that game was made by ea but is on the computer only- that could be coming to the gamecube, but i dont know for sure

apparently nintendo themselves dont know if battlefield 1942 is coming to gc either. cube-europe asked nintendo of europe about the clip in an interview and heres the answer they got:

"C-E: At your recent press conference in Germany, footage of what seemed to be Battlefield 1942 was played. Can you confirm that Battlefield 1942 will be on the GameCube? Do you have any more info?

Marko: That's a very good question... to be honest, I cannot remember. I'm not in charge of the group that made that video, so I'll have to confirm that later if it's true. "

they didnt deny it though.

The most I know about EA is that they are doing a 007 on Gamecube and the new LOTR title on Gamecube. As far as Nintendo is concerned - they are in discussion with DivX to include it in all of their games - but EA is not. EA uses DivX on a 'need space' basis. The rumor is that they are doing all of their own development for a video codec to be used in their own games - like Mad Cow. EA is big on doing everything internally - Nintendo is not - they like all the help they can get. I haven't picked up on any rumors that they are working together, yet...

There is a little something i noticed in one of the madden 2004 commercial-it shows only the GC logo at the end.  I havent seen any with just a xbox or sony logo yet, although there is 1 with all 3.  So, i just found it a little strange, though its probably nothing.

That was SirMorphix, not AgentSeven.

Factor 5 created a Divx tool for the GC. They have been using for a long time. Divx that is.

their arent rumors that they are working together
they flt out are for the GC/GBC games as for soemthing aside that i dont know anything yet either
i do know that Nintendo is making a big push for 3rd party developers and to stengthen ties with them (after they tour them up in their we own the market days...)
