This won't last long. As soon as EA realizes the casual waggle crowd won't pay for incremental upgrades every year, EA will kill this gaming line.
Can't knock their hustle though.

@killias2 - You know, my biggest whine about the Wii is directly that.
I suppose it all comes down to the popularity of the console within a crowd that has never really been tapped before. With that said, I'm often disappointed with moves like this. I'd much rather play a fully-fleshed, Wii-specific Madden as opposed to these weird "novice" versions.

It's a good idea business-wise, because they focus on both markets separately instead of doing dumbed down ports. The Wii crowd will get to know EA sports and give them a monopoly, and us normal folk can stop facepalming at the next crappy Fifa Wii port. Nobody is going to play Fifa on the Wii if it's the same and better on the 360/PS3 anyway.
This way they can claim the casual sports market, play with new gameplay mechanics before spending millions on a next-gen game, and probably tie it into their upcoming clothing line.
Not that I'll care about any of these games, but it's nice for the casual gamer dad who wants a simple sports game to play with his preteen kid. I'd be more worried about the possible pedobear Mii's starring these games...

I'm just wondering why nobody has said a word about the announcement of Kid Icarus Wii. Or Doom 4. Hello? Anybody? Why isn't that news?
I heard that Tiger Woods for the Wii is the one to get if you were going to buy one this year...just saying.
Anyway, back on topic: This is a good idea. Now, will it work? That remains to be seen. It's been proven time and time again that the casual market is a hard one to crack. We'll see.
As for me, I'd rather stick to the regular versions of sports games, thank you.

Whaaaat?
Seriously?
Hey, I'd plaster that all over the front page if I had any say in it, If it makes you feel better.

Does people not actually look into the games before going off on them like this? Maddon 09 on the Wii is sounding like a pretty damn good game for the system. The All Play part of the package is separate from the main game. The regular "hardcore" Madden game is there, but there's also the "all play" 5 on 5 big bobble head game included. The All Play part is looking like they are off shoots of the main games, that are included on the same disc. Sure, the Wii version of Madden doesn't have the amazing sounding new AI that the 360 version is getting, but we get Call Your Shots, which is going to help evolve the online gaming of Madden. That part of the Wii game is pretty damn sweet its sounding like. And its sounding like the Wii version of Tiger Woods is THE golf game to get this year. Full online play, and (almost) 1-1 swing control. I personally am pretty excited by the All Play lineup, and I don't usually go in for sports games.

It's funny because, of my friends and family who I'd consider "hardcore gamers," almost all have Wiis. One has a PS3, which he just bought for MGS4 a few weeks ago. Of my casual gaming friends, one has a PS3 (which he got for Christmas and never plays) and one has a 360 and a Wii. Is my group of friends strange here? PS, of all my friends who have Wiis, ALL had PS2's and PSOne's and only one had a Gamecube.
