EA: Madden Wii U "real, deal HD simulation football", Smart Glass concepts

"I can't really talk about it much, but I think what we're doing is really cool," Weber said. "Maybe we're not hearing a lot about [Wii U] today or in this week, but I certainly believe it's going to be a product we're going to be proud of.

"Here's what I will say, and she," Weber added pointing to a publicist sitting in on the interview, "may not want to hear me say this, but it's the truth: Whatever we release on the Wii U will not be a cartoony, dumbed-down, arcade football experience. It will be the real deal, HD simulation football."

"Conceptually we look at it in the same kind of way," Weber said, of SmartGlass and Wii U's tablet. "I think our designers are trying to solve problems around, 'How do you take advantage of the smart glass, on either device, and what kind of functionality does that unlock? And I think it'll benefit both."

"To be more specific, we have Wii U in development now [for Madden], we'll learn from it and it'll take us further in terms of delivering on the SmartGlass," Weber added.

It better be because I used to play the real Madden on Gamecube. What a huge drop off on the Wii. I'll buy it on Wii U when it comes out if it's the real deal. Madden 13 looks decent.

I hope they get it back to being respectable on Wii U! HD Graphics and gameplay that we are accustomed to on the PS3/360.

I actually prefer M12 Wii to M12 360/PS3 because of the gameplay.

What is different/better?

Basically, it's PS2 gameplay. And I have to agree with MiNiDiTkA here, in some aspects, Wii Madden is better than PS3/360. Fair play enabled in ranked matches is a huge boon. Personally, I prefer PS3 because I can't deal with the Wii's cartoon graphics and I don't really like the motion controls, but there are definite reasons to pick Wii.

Yeah the game is based on the ps2 engines which I like better. Also for those that don't want to use motion controls 12 has classic controller support.

Well the gameplay was definitely pretty good in that game! I just hated the cartoony graphics. BUT I did like the fact that on the Wii version they took time to create the difference in player size between a Lineman and the QB...a RB and WR looked the way they should as well.

Why is everyone saying, "I hope it will respectable on Wii U"? The Wii is mostly for family for gaming, as to a PS3/Xbox360, are for adults. I picked up M12 for the Wii so see If I would like 13, and past the cartoon graphics, the game play is fine if you like the old PS2 Maddens. IMO It's a good game, and i'm most likely going to pre-order next time I get paid.

Madden was a serious game for the Gamecube. Unfortunately the 'Cube lacked online play. I didn't like the Wii & I never bought one. But Big N looks to be shaking things up with Wii U. They want more adult games this time around. But Big N won't abandoned the family play all at the same time, but it will be more balanced this time with the game selection. Iwata has already said that he wanted more games for the older audience while not forgetting family play. This is the reason that a lot more hardcore adult only games are coming to Wii U. These are the adult games in the launch window alone Assassins Creed 3, Ninja Gaiden Razor's Edge, Colonial Alien Marines, Mass Effect 3, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Batman Arkham City Asylum, Darksiders 2, ZombiU, Call of Duty Black Ops 2. Team Ninja's thinking about dropping DOA 5 Wii U. Hopefully Nintendo keeps this going in the coming years, but the audience has to buy into it in order to keep 3rd party support. So basically if adult gamers don't buy these games they will stop coming out on Wii U. But I think many will as ZombiU, Darksiders 2, & Assassins Creed 3 are in the top five Wii U pre-orders with Mario & the super kiddy Nintendoland. Family play- (moms, kids, family playing together) mixed with hardcore games-(Adult games) could work, only time will tell if they can grab both audiences more. But we shall see.... So yeah the Wii U also has plenty of adult games at it's launch window.




I for one am excited about the Wii U & will buy one at launch!!
