Looks like another round of bad news for Wii U owners as EA has announced that they will not be bringing Madden 25 to the new Nintendo console. Wii U launched with the last Madden game so it is very surprising that they are skipping this one, it brings about a lot of questions about the future of EA's partnership with Nintendo. EA says they still have a strong relationship with Nintendo but it really doesn't seem that way. Also it's worth mentioning that when Call of Duty Ghosts was announced it also didn't mention a Wii U version, since Black Ops 2 was a Wii U launch game this is pretty bad news, does EA and Activision think that the Wii U isn't worth the money to develop games for? Madden and Call of Duty are two of the biggest franchises in gaming and absences on the Wii U doesn't look good for Nintendo.
I hate to read news like that because it really puts a damper on my hopes for the Wii U system, but I'm still having a lot of fun playing Monster Hunter and Batman AC, and I had a blast playing AC3 so I'm going to keep playing my Wii U and hoping that things turn around for it. Watchdogs is coming to the Wii U and is probably the game I'm most excited about this year. The new Batman Arkham game is also confirmed for Wii U which is good because the Wii U controller is great for that game and should be pretty amazing for Watchdogs as well.
The Wii U also appears to have been hacked...so that actually may boost sales but if that is the case they will lose third party support. Egh not looking so good right now. If things don't turn around my next blog might be called back to Microsoft or Sony.
