Oh, and fuck EA. It's like every decision their management ever made in their history was to piss me off.

Not you again... seriously, we get it, you are mad at EA. But do you have to enter every thread and bash them?

OT: 1- if its true it was probably a financial decision. Also, the studios will have to focus on fewer consoles, and that means a better game.

2- the game was firstly announced for the 2 HD consoles. That doesnt mean that there wont be a 3DS/Vita/WiiU/iOS/Android/Jaguar version

Madden has to come to Wii U, It's not up to EA, they are basically required to release Madden on all platforms by their NFL exclusivity contract. Hence the half assed game they released for WiiU launch.

Maybe the NFL is in on Dreamcasting the WiiU?

No biggy, I won't by this game for any console. Really just came to say Madden 25 is a confusing name.

Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

EA must really hate nintendo

Irony is that it's clear post-launch that Nintendo probably should have taken Origin and at least got modern online features.

Nah, they would have been way to dependent on one 3rd party company.

Heh, not going to happen. Compared to SEGA Nintendo is far too successful to be pushed out of buisness :D

Considering the sales, it wouldn't be all that surprising if true. If the 3DS version's sales didn't merit continued support, then it only makes sense as the Wii U's Madden sales were even worse.

To compare to other new consoles first Madden after 9 weeks in the USA.

360: 313,817
PS3: 222,265
3DS: 32,231
Wii U: 21,169

To put it in further perspective for legs. In weeks 8&9 (January for both) the PS3 version sold 32,599 the Wii U version sold 964. 3281% higher, it even managed to sell 54% more than the Wii U one has LTD.

It just doesn't seem financially viable.
