No Madden NFL football from EA Sports on Wii U in 2013

4.6
Wii U football fans must suffer a drought this year. EA Sports has confirmed with Joystiq that it has no plans to launch Madden NFL 25 on Wii U in 2013.

"We will not be releasing a Wii U version of Madden NFL in 2013. However, we have a strong partnership with Nintendo and will continue to evaluate opportunities for delivering additional Madden NFL products for Nintendo fans in the future," an EA Sports representative said in an email to Joystiq. Eyebrows were initially raised by the omission of Wii U as a listed platform on a fact sheet sent out by EA last week.

Madden NFL 25 boasts a new combo system for the running game and tweaks to the Infinity Engine introduced in last year's Madden NFL 13. Hall of Famer Barry Sanders was recently chosen by fans to grace the cover of Madden NFL 25, beating out Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.

STaRzZ_HDII I would love to give this a try

Wait the Wii U? Because they aren't making this game for the Wii U, so you would have to try it on xbox or PS3.

nintendo is always left behind its not one of the more popular consoles however they do have some great classics that nobody else can ever remake (mario and pokemon)

ewok Nintendo was at its best with Mario, you cant beat it. I'd like to see more Mario

I agree they need to make more Mario games like Mario cart and super Mario bros. Mario was what made Nintendo big in the first place.


People would probably buy more Wii's if they just kept on coming out with Mario. Now they are trying to compete with these types of games. Makes no sense. They were perfectly fine doing MARIO.

Also most people don't want to play Call of Duty of FIFA on the Wii U, they just prefer to play it on Xbox or PS3 like they always have plus these games were designed and made for other consoles and it is not worth the money to these developers to port the game to Wii U with no promise of a profit.

VisionaryMGMT Good lord, Wii U isn't bad at all, but they're really suffering from lack of games.

I agree. I think people are just lazy and don't want to try it. If there were more games, espically Mario ones, the Wii U would do quite well. And it's all about marketing. I haven't seen a single commercial on the Wii U since Christmas.

Wouldn't it be funny if Nintendo in, Say 2 years, is back on top? Just like before Sony and Microsoft came in the picture.
