EA has so many great ideas for Wii U. So many, in fact, that they almost don't know what to do with themselves.

"My dev teams -- their heads are exploding, in a good way and a bad way," Peter Moore, boss of EA Sports, told Gamasutra. "How do we look at this new technology? We don't just want to bolt this on; this has to be relevant to the sports gamer."

"From the perspective of once again, Nintendo is putting a different spin on things, showing that it's not all about graphic fidelity and processing power. In the world of sports, our minds are racing as to how we can bring a sports game to life in a unique way. (Using the controller to call plays in Madden is) kind of a no-brainer for us."

"We love the fact [Wii U] is high def, that Nintendo has a renewed focus on building online communities. Nintendo adds that kind of outlier mentality that is a very different take on what the industry needs, and more power to them," Moore concluded.

Since Wii U's controller isn't motion based like its predecessor's, are motion controls dead?

"(Our teams have) learned a lot of lessons that have taught us what we need to do to make the application of that technology more prevalent. We know exactly what we need to do. We have four Kinect games next calendar year. In the case of Move we had Tiger, and we're looking at ways to be able to integrate Move going forward," Moore provided.
