EA exec Peter Moore has apologised for a series of anti-Nintendo April Fools jokes posted by one of the publisher’s official Twitter accounts.
A series of tweets posted by @FrostbiteEngine yesterday morning took a pop at Nintendo’s Wii U, trolling fans and making fun of EA’s lack of support for the console.
“Frostbite now runs on the #WiiU since it is the most powerful Gen4 platform,” Frostbite tweeted. “Our renderer is now optimised for Mario and Zelda.”
“Frostbite will power #HalfLife3, coming out summer 2014! #WiiU exclusive,” a later tweet added, before concluding with: “Good news, we have finally fixed and optimised our ‘netcode’. Uses quantum entanglement for Zero Latency connections. Exclusively on #WiiU.”
The tweets were later deleted and followed up by an apology from Moore.
“Our apologies to partners @NintendoAmerica & fan @FrostbiteEngine’s poor attempt at April Fools not condoned by EA,” he said. “Unacceptable/ stupid”.
Frostbite added that it was “prepped for [Game of Thrones] next week by beheading the programmer who ran this account for being mean and unfunny. He was a great programmer though.”
