EA was discussing how ‘Origins’ would function on Nintendo’s upcoming console when they– perhaps unintentionally– let slip a few details regarding what people can expect from Wii U’s online offering:
- You need an Origin account to play EA’s titles online
- You have to transfer some information to EA in order to use Origin
- Information includes Mii information, email address, Nintendo Network ID, friend list, country, language, and date of birth
- You do not have to transfer any financial or credit card information
“I know it’s a little quiet on the Nintendo front but… it’s not. There’s a lot coming up. Starting Thursday… Also – I think Wii U finally has its ‘must have’ game. It ought to be the game that sells systems, but we’ll see. More soon.”
