EA Sports has confirmed toNintendo World ReportthatMadden NFLwill be skipping the Wii U this year. EA stated the following:
“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.”
This will be the first time aMaddentitle hasn’t appeared on a Nintendo console since 1991. This is also another strong blow againstthe struggling Wii U. Like it or not,Maddenis a huge franchise and it’s a bad sign when evenMaddencan’t make a difference to the general consumer market.
