Timely. I'm sure people will be checking for it months after it's been run through.

Hopefully it comes out fairly early in 2013 if it doesn't it'll be pretty pointless for most people.

This game is ready.
The late release is in hopes that people will double-dip for some reason.
No, it doesn't make sense to me, either.

Heh, i was only messing
I bet Reggie is watching us lol.... Btw who else find weird that the Wii U doesn't have a Ridge Racer game at launch? lol
Are you actually serious here? I mean, I know EA can be incompetent, but...
Makes no sense at all

Would there even be a reason to double dip?
This is so hard to believe that I believe it.

Everything it's set up
"Due the low sales of our games we will no longer support Wii U, besides FIFA and Madden"

Going to suck without analog triggers.
EA had it's chance to get me to support their Wii U games going forward. They blew it big time with the choices they've made recently regarding the Wii U. So they can go to hell. I'll wait and see if other racing games come out in the future from other companies or go without.
Those interested in this...watch how this doesn't contain any extras by the time it comes out. Also watch and see them push it for $60 when the other versions have dropped to $30.

Maybe it's going to have good Miiverse integration? That's the only reason I could see to double dip.
What was the story behind this?
I believe so..
Allegedly, EA pushed Nintendo hard to use Origin as the online network for the Wii U, and Nintendo decided to do their own thing.
Something about EA trying to get Origin on Wii U, Nintendo called the whole thing off and EA is pissed.
*Paraphrased, summarized to hell and probably not accurate.*
Seriously? The fuck, EA.
I reckon EA is pissed off with Nintendo for not making Origin the de facto online service for the Wii U. I remember reading a story posted on GAF about someone from EA even travelling to Japan, possibly to sweeten the deal. But Nintendo probably thought otherwise...
You might be remembering Peter Moore talking about visiting Nintendo in Japan, which was in the context of how Nintendo was working a lot earlier/closer with third-parties than in the past.
Though obviously something must have happened considering the much stronger support Activision and Ubisoft are giving the system.

Same here. Major props to Nintendo for turning that shit down if that's what really went down.
Peter Moore himself went out to Nintendo HQ. Was shortly after that the bad blood stuff came out
Lol, well that's a great business plan, E.A. It's not like you would have the only realistic racer at the launch, and thus a good opportunity to sell a few units and start building up a consumer base on the Wii U. Delaying it, and then pulling future Wii U supports when the game bombs because everybody's already played it is a much better plan.
I'm not surprised that some people have '3rd parties hate Nintendo' conspiracy theories when things like this happen.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Dat EA unprecedented partnership!

I look forward to the sports game shitstorm next year:
FIFA 14: 360, PS3, Wii U, PS4, 720: All on different dates! Woo!
They essentially wanted Origin to be the online service/infrastructure for the entire system IIRC.

I actually expect the WiiU version to be inexplicably missing some features, As with any PS4/720 version.
Part of the story/rumor is that when Nintendo supposedly turned down EA and they got pissed other companies were really happy with Nintendo as a result. If we follow that to the next step it could have improved their relationship with Nintendo for the better. At the moment Nintendo's only seemingly "bad" relationship seems to be with EA. Also like said the idea was that Origin would be the online system, not apart of it.

Does EA have ANYTHING interesting for the Wii U? All I see is late and pointless ports.
As I see it, there are two possibilities here. Either this is true:
In which case EA is run by people who shouldn't be allowed run a bake sale, let alone a $3.8 billion company. Or, this is true:
In which case EA is run by people who shouldn't be allowed run a bake sale, let alone a $3.8 billion company.
Oh, wait...

That's him. Cheers, lads. I still reckon EA thought they'd use Nintendo as a stepping stone for their online shenanigans. "Look, everyone! Even Nintento is using Origin for everything on their system. Soooo awesome!" But I bet Activision & Ubisoft probably told Nintendo not to bother or miss out on Call of Duty and Rayman.
To be fair, that's a major one to have. Couldn't Nintendo have completely avoided this by going down the Sony/Microsoft path from the start?
It is about money.. The amount on the table believe to be huge for EA at the time.
