This is nothing new. EA is notorious with doing this on launch platforms. NBA Live 06 on the 360 was completely half assed compared to the ps2 version with several features missing.

Seems to be one step forward and two steps back regarding third parties and the Wii U
, how hard is it to port the 13 engine to the U rather than the 12 engine, jesus...No mention of Madden on Eurogamer either which is strange as i would say Madden is a pretty big game in the UK at least, did they say it was a launch day game for America ?.
I suppose that is true. Let's see what happens next year, though I admit I am not exactly optimistic.
Still nice to see it at launch though.

It's obviously not as popular as it is in America but the sport along with the UFC is prob the fastest growing sport here, they sell out Wembley once a year for an NFL game.
The Madden games don't price drop nearly as fast as they used to either which leads me to believe they are shifting more copies.
Did they say at the EA event that Madden 13 is a Wii U launch day game for America at least ?.
Piss off! Two packets!
Yes I do own Nintendo "stocks" in the form of NTDOY (They are called ADR or Pink Sheets. as the 'real' Nintendo stocks are on the Osaka exchange) . I use ETrade as my online broker which is a US based company.
So I guess another team was working on the Wii U version and porting the work the lead SKU team was doing as they went. They probably ran out of time to get everything over there. Shame.

Quite a bit. Play them back to back and you can tell easily, especially considering the huge departure in defending that 12 took.

The launch pad for any clueless bastard on any subject you fancy!
There's a few free realistic stock market app and browser games about as well to help you get a grasp. Been meaning to have ago myself.
Yeah but I mean FIFA 13 Wii U being FIFA 12.5 is pretty wrong since the exclusive features the PS3 and 360 won't get.

I get you.
It could've been worse. I recall the first few 360 FIFA's didn't even have as many teams/leagues/stadia as PS2/GameCube/XBOX FIFA's.
Exactly, the Wii U might be the first console EA put more resources in Sports wise.

P.S.
You're name disturbs me greatly, also why is your name Red ?.
Thanks for the Q and A
He's being modest. His name is red from all the blood of the children he has eaten.
I am big time lately. I've never wanted so many games at the same time and I just don't have that much gaming time these days. I have a 1.5 year old, 2 dogs, a wife, a full time job, a house, vball league, and a wicked CoD addiction.
I haven't played a Fifa game since 96, a Madden game since 95, a Need for Speed since the original, and now I want to get back into all these genre's I just haven't played in so long for some reason.
I know I'm going to get ACIII and CoD for sure. But I really want so many other games, but I just don't think I have the time since I play CoD multiplayer so much. I want to try Mass Effect since I've heard such good things. I want to try Scribblenauts since it seems so customizable and goofy. I want to play the new Need for Speed. Heh, to tell the truth there are so many games I want but actually none of the Nintendo games, no Mario or Pikman. For some reason I just have 0 interest in them.
To me, the launch list is pretty amazing and I just don't know what I'm going to do right now.
Get A life loser. There's more to life than family and responsibility. Like video games.
I'm actually a little worried too, I want most of the third party games announced at launch, I definitely won't get Wii Fit U, or Sing, or Just Dance 4 so I don't have to worry about them but I want Mass Effect 3, Darksiders 2, COD, etc to sale well on the Wii U to prove to some third party developers and haters that core games can sell on Wii U.

I think some people missed the "unfinished" quote before Fifa U demo...
I just thought about this... what are the chances that I'll be able to transfer stuff from two Wiis to one WiiU?
I have a Red one with all my game save data and a few VC games and my old White one that can't play games that has about 20 VC/WiiWare games. I'd really like to be able to transfer both but I feel that I would need to send everything in to do that

You want to be able to transfer data from two Wii consoles to the Wii U. Nintendo....data transfer....requires online competency......I just thought about this... what are the chances that I'll be able to transfer stuff from two Wiis to one WiiU?

Well you can put your vc and wiiiware games from the white console onto an sd card and just plop that into the wii u whenever you want to play them but i you have actual game saves on that system i don't think that you'll be able to transfer those to the new console twice
All of my game saves are on the Red Wii, along with 3 SNES titles. White Wii has some game saves and around 20 VC/WiiWare titles. I put all of my White Wii games on an SD card but you can't boot that up on another Wii, so I doubt I could boot them up on a WiiU.
I want to be able to put the save data from one and the VC data from another... I'll send it in if I have to but I really don't want to :/
I also hacked my White Wii to have a VC channel for EarthBound (I have the original game and it looks much better through the VC emulator than the SNES itself) so... I don't even know if that Wii will transfer period
The only thing my White Wii has over the Red one is VC titles and Miis
You can almost certainly use a Homebrew program to transfer games and data, but I can't say 100%. My only Homebrew experience was using an app to backup my MW3 save data just in case it would corrupt again... and then Treyarch fixed the glitch and I deleted Homebrew. (Interesting story, not.)
You don't need multitouch to drag. Lots of DS games support dragging.

I do see his point but I can also see if the Wii U games where $50 than they would also sell the best, even though it's pretty much a fact it will be $60.

I kinda focused on the "so much porting work to do" portion of that quote. One should wonder just how much that entails.
Another example of shoddy port work would be Gun, right off the top of my head, just so that's not all pinned entirely on EA.
Ummm... 3DS ring a bell?

3DS games, in Japan.
Of course, Wii U games will be $60, that's a fact already...I'm not going to lie though it would be awesome if next gen multiplats went to $50, the awesomeness it could be.
on the other hand, i'll be a lot more selective about my purchasing habits in the future when it comes to first-day releases.

I do not agree with this statement. While i do think it'll be wrong if nintendo priced their games at 50$, it's because it will anger third parties, As a consumer buying a game, i couldn't care less. Cheaper is cheaper. And as long as it has the same title as it's ps4/720 equivalent then i can just assume that it will be the same game experience. And besides with that logic F2P games and cheap 5$ app store games would be a failure. And in most cases those games actually are of less quality than what you would find on a traditional console
You'll be able to pan around or zoom by dragging your fingerS across the screen.
I can see dragging a finger would pan around, but then how do you zoom? Like I said, there are workarounds, maybe a toggle to switch between the two, but the way it reads (to me) sounds like multitouch. Know what I mean?
Edit: or there could be a vertical +/- zoom bar you could drag up and down. I realize it's entirely possible, and upon reflection I nitpicking. It just sounded funny when I first read it and made me question the source.

Nintendo allows multiple accounts per console. I would imagine that they would require you to have a fresh account per Wii (which is "Nintendo dumb"), but digital downloads are reportedly linked to the account, not the console, so I foresee it as being fairly possible.
WHY IS THIS ENTIRE INDUSTRY ACTIVELY TRYING TO PRICE ITSELF OUT OF ITS OWN MARKET????????
*ahem*
Sorry.
I'll just down downstairs and check on how my bacon pie is coming along now…
Yeah, great they mentioned that. It might push me over the edge on the game.
Looks like they've done great on FIFA. Shame about the idiot doing the presentation. "Casual" this, "The casual Wii U demographic" blah blah. At first I wasn't quite sure if the game was going to be the normal game with added Wii U stuff or a dumbed down version.
Shame about all the other titles like MoH not getting a Wii U version
Unless something has recently changed MOH was confirmed at GDC for the WiiU
Where is everyone getting this? I do not remember that at all.

News to me as well...
All I remember is it was this huge rumor at GDC and a top gaming website confirmed it was coming.
Aren't Wii U games priced on a small sliding scale based on publisher?
Also, with all due respect to Fifa and Madden - I'm going to wait for next year's version of each to give the touchscreen features time to grow. I'm only saying this, because it never made sense to me to buy every yearly iteration of these games, and I don't want to feel compelled to buy new versions with better touchscreen features next year. That's the point of the Wii U, right?
I know someone could say, "well, with that logic you could wait forever," but no. I'm just waiting until next year. I'm not buying Madden every year, EA.
