Well the first few Maddens seem to be efforts (I still say changing the look was hurt more by also taking out most of the features instead of making a proper Madden with merely a cosmetic change). But for the most part, yeah. Although EA Sports Active might have been by accident, and Boom Blox was more Speilberg wanting a cool game than EA, who just rushed out the sequel, and even tried to make the name unappealing on the box.

The Madden games had the advantage of the previous consoles work, so they were good because the previous generation games were good.

EA Sports Active its actually a good game in the genre (even if I don't like those games).

Boom Blox was a good game that could become an evergreen title, but then they rushed the sequel and destroyed the market for the franchise.

Dead Space good game with a good developer behind with a genre change that make every follower of the franchise refuse to play it, and charged 50 in a genre that was well covered for the console with cheaper games.

NBA Jam, were do I start, great game WITHOUT ONLINE, charged 50 when they themselves were aware that it was not wort it, announce it as an exclusive then with more features for the HD consoles BEFORE the game was even release for the Wii. What's wrong with the marketing department of EA? are they really that dumb?

Need For Speed (insert subtitle), they use small developer groups to handle the Wii version, Hot pursuit was in charge of Exient Entretainment with almost cero experience in Wii development their previous work included the horrible NfS: Undercover. The only decen effort was Nitro but it was not good enough.


You are spot on about Dead Space, and the Wii being saturated with rail shooters. That probably explains why RE: Darkside Chronicles didn't sell good.

The problem with NBA Jam is well, there was NO HYPE behind it. It STILL  isn't on the US Nintendo Channel, no trailer or anything.   If that says anything, it says that they didn't bother to push the game.  It was a flop in major ways. EA dropped the ball with that one.

NFS Nitro was well, your arcade racer with no ads. It could have done better with support.

NFS Hot Pursiut is your standard Half-Assed EA branded Wii game. It is also your typical Wii port of a popular game (See Dead Rising, and Call of Duty). Most ads don't have a Wii logo so very few people even knew there was a Wii version. The Wii version wasn't announced at e3. Nintnedo fanboys don't have any excuses for this one. All the blame is on EA.

Boom Blox was well, everything you said it was
