Given the choice of retooling their work of the past 9 years to work on the Wii, much as it did from 2001 to 2005 (remember, they've been there already), and improving the experience overall, bringing what the fans want (the feeling and raw excitement of an american football game, which is largely a spectacle, not just a game)... which do you think any one of the individual developers would choose, given the chance to do so?
So basically its ""think of something new"" vs ""Re release the same game with more features."" OH THE HUMANITY THOSE DEVELOPERS HAVE TO THINK OF SOMETHING NEW!
Theres other ways to make sports games, you dont need realism or high end graphics to have a fun sports game. In fact the most successful sports games look like this.
Made Midway a Billion dollars.
Still has people hacking and updating carts with rosters of todays players.
The biggest sports game, Ever.
Still considered one of the best games ever also the biggest selling boxing game ever. AND IT CAME OUT ON THE NES!
Dont give me that ""Oh boo hoo the Wii is a weaker GPU"" If they had ten players on screen with all the essential animation to make it a american football game on the NES then they can do SO MUCH MORE on the Wii.
