Madden for Wii Interview; Nunchuck Rumours Confirmed |

EA always gets a bad attitude from gamers, and I for one feel it's unwarranted. Many just go along with the flow because they think dissing EA makes them "hardcore." Well, you'd better knock one bullet off your list for when you criticize them because "lazy" isn't there. An interview with IGN reveals that they're not just adding a few controller features to their flagship title, Madden, and calling it a day. They've created a huge group consisting of many smaller groups at EA Canada to create Wii titles and one of their first tasks is to create a Wii-specific Madden. "When you go to hike the ball, for instance, as opposed to pressing a button you simply jerk the controller up. Boom, you snap the ball. When you want to pass the ball, you gesture a throwing motion while holding the button down to the intended receiver. When you want to stiff-arm left or right, you juke with the nunchuck controller literally. When you want to kick, you gesture the kick motion."
The man in charge, self-proclaimed Nintendo Fanboy John Schappert, said he's opposed to companies just slapping a few gimmicky features into their multiplatform games and calling it done. His team has more than one game in the works to take advantage of the Wii. He also had something more interesting to say when asked about how the nunchuck expansion would be used, "...we are still working on the final button layout, but it does use the trigger buttons, and it does use the accelerometer in the nunchuck unit as well for juking." It looks like we're gonna be getting ready for some sword and shield action with Zelda Revolution!
Madden 2007 should be ready for the Wii by launch. Click "Read" for the full interview.

But I actually want to buy a
*Gasp*
Madden title now. It seems like it's really going to be cool playing it with the controller. I really want this game now.
If you know me, I hate sports game with a passion. Especially football games. If it's not THPS or SSX, get that crap out of my face. I like playing the game of football with friends on occasion but it was always just so boring on consoles (at least, after Techmo Bowl. TB was awesome). But now the game looks like it's really going to be fun to play; I can't wait.
An NHL game would also be pretty fun on Wii, so I might just--for the first time--buy some sports games. So that's at least one thing that Wii has done already, gotten people like me who would never even touch sports games to want to play them.
