"So the audience on Wii, the experience tends to be shorter, faster, so that’s why there have been specific design decisions on NCAA and Madden to make that gameplay experience faster. It’s different. The thing with a really super deep feature on Madden for the 360 or PS3 may not be what a Wii player wants" Can we please stop with this sh*t about what "the Wii player wants". I'm a Wii player and I like games with depth, strategy and longevity. Yes, it's nice to pick up the game with a non-traditional gamer, but I'm not going to drop $60 on a new game that doesn't hold any interest outside of that. What market are they actually trying for here - the person who likes sports games but gets confused by using more than one button? How big is that market, really? …in other words they can’t be bothered to continue with the “real” titles on the Wii so resort to appealing to people who don’t want any depth in their games… sigh.
