[TreFacTor]

According to Nintendo World Report, Madden will not release on any of the Nintendo platforms for the first time since 1991.

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.

Pretty much known this for a while.

Again anyone buying a WiiU for 3rd party games IMO made a mistake. I got mine for Nintendo games and the PS4 or 720 will be the all in one console... just need to decide which one!!

I refused to buy my son a Wii U. I knew he would only play 3 games on it. not worth the investment.

My son is 6 yrs old. We have Wii but he hates most of the games because of the complexity of the controls. LOL. He spends more time on 360, when I let him play games because he has an easier time with the controls.

So we go to gamestop the other day and they have WiiU with some demo games - and you have to do part of the game on the touch screen. He plays for like two minutes, sets the WiiPad (or whatever it is called) back on the stand, looks up at me and says "This thing is stupid Daddy, the controls stink and I have to keep moving my eyes from the TV to play!"

I find it funny that my kid figured out in 2 mins that Nintendo is wacky out of their minds - all their games are marketed at kids but the controls are difficult even for adults - I tried the same game and didn't even last 30 seconds before I was sick of it...

And your kid is pretty smart! My sons 15 and couldn't see past his fanboyism in order to see the downside of the console.

Agree...Only worth it if you love the Nintendo games.
I need my Mario, Zelda, Pikmen etc.. fix.

And for what it's worth the controls are hardly complicated.
The only difference is some games have touch screen additions that yeah you need to look down at the pad.
Again though I'll get my 3rd party games from the 720 or PS4 (please don't cost a fortune!!) and enjoy the WiiU for the Nintendo games.
The system SHOULD have been held off a bit and made more in line with the new systems.. however nothing can be done about that at this point.
Should probably leave the whole system talk though to the WiiU forum so mods don't get "upset" lol

Sad thing is Nintendo said it would get strong 3rd party support but its not.

The 720 is rumored to be $499 but have a cheaper version that requires a 2 year live sub (seems to support the always on rumor) don't know about the PS4 but that sounds about right.
