DZComposer Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 GoNintendo is reporting an interesting rumor: That Valve wants to put Steam on WiiU, but EA wants Origin to be the exclusive WiiU Online system. The source for the rumor is some forum thread, so take it with the requisite amount of salt. If this is true, my vote is for Steam. Valve + Nintendo = Epic beyond Epic http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=166249&sid=3373882bbef99e3d7fa9587874689a35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. N Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 EA won't stand a chance against Valve, there's still some conspiracy issues revolving around Origin having Spyware in it and...the fact it's a crappier version of Steam, I wouldn't even bother getting Origin just for their games.

Asper Sarnoff Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Pretty sure Nintendo would do the better deal going for Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'd also vote Steam; EA breaking away and creating Origin was just an incredibly narrow-sighted move. Here's hoping the Wii-U will live up to the hardcore crowd's hopes and dreams! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Seriously, I had this idea back when the Wii U was announced. Steam on the Wii U would be great. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Steam, it's the better business decision for Nintendo. If I remember correctly, Valve owns somewhere around 80% of all download sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 While what is good for gamers is a no-brainer, Nintendo could be swayed by offerings from EA, like game exclusives and kickbacks from online sales. I just hope they keep their eye on the ball here. Steam is a much larger pre-existing network with tons of core gamers already signed-up. And it has a pretty solid reputation, unlike Origin.

Star Fox Runner Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I also vote for Steam on this one, it's a no brainer. Besides, Steam on WiiU also paves the way for Valve games on WiiU! (Half-Life 3 anyone?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Steam. Nintendo needs to stop isolating themselves from the rest of the gaming industry and get with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Yoshi Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I vote steam, since I kinda hate EA right now. Stupid wanykahs wouldn't renew the Porsche license for Forza 4, so the game got stuck with those imposter RUF cars. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scourge Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 STEAM! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NINTENDO, CHOOSE STEAM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Jedi0 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 So, what if this rumor is false? < < Just putting that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
