Nintendo News | Exclusive Revolution Version of Madden [news]

This can't be right. EA not using the shell?
I don't believe you!

LIAR!

EA can be innovative too in shock story.

Madden pfftthh, we want Tiger Woods Revolution!

Woah....! It seems to me that even EA is starting to take the Revolution seriously. And if they can do it, who can't?

Good for the US people, but i want golf, rugby(!) and tennis with the revmote^^

If anyone can demonstrate how to not successfully take advantage of Rev's controller, it's EA.

It does seem abit wierd,swiftly moving up your arm to kick.I personally think that they have added to many uses for the sensor. In a good game the producers have to make the controller so that you can be fluent with hitting the bottons and that it doesnt become awkward. By the sounds of that its just abit odd.

But it is nice to see some football games on the Revo even if its American football. Hopefully it attracts the Attention so that there are a few more non mario sporting games.

Introducing a game specific add-on;

The Leg Attachment!

A plastic holster with backpack type straps to tighten the Remote controller onto the shins of a player. This is used to simulate kicking and another can be held to simulate arm movements.

Use 4 Remotes to create full realistic movement capture!

Well, a guy can dream, but the probability of a developer making a game that REQUIRES 4 remotes for a one player game (though LANing Revs makes 2-4 players possible...) is little to none.

Though can you imagine... "Street Fighter Revolution" using that setup. A GUY CAN DREAM DAMN IT!

I thought that. With todays technology it would be possible but i dont think its gna happen. We can dream though.

Well its nice to see that EA's comments about using the features haven't been missed. Tigers woods and maybe even some sort of tennis game (Sharapova tennis ne one?)

WOW hold on a second, is it raining cats outside, i think im seeing pigs flying aswell!!!
Does this mean the end of mankind!!!

I'l beleive it when i see it!!!!

Perhaps there'll be DS connectivity using the mic allowing you to add your own grunts?

But according to an EA spokesman, the Rev doesnt make as much sense to him as the DS, whereas the 360 has one up on Rev because of the HD support, according to him we can see everything.
Steve Wonder may be impressed with that, but how can he make such a comment in the face of adversity, when his own crew are developing games of such potential callibre?

Ign have a great interview with the guy in charge of The Wii version

IGN Wii: Does you use the trigger buttons on the nunchuck unit?

John Schappert: You know, the buttons are all still being mapped out. It does use the trigger buttons right now. I don't know how much we'll have locked in for you at E3 because 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.

Wii Madden Interview

Brilliant news, I really enjoy Madden games so I can't wait to see how this turns out. Excellent to see an innovative game being made from an established third-party multi-platform title.

Yeah it actually sounds really promising, there building up everything from scratch and the guy does not seem to like porting one bit with Wii games.

Gamers will be able to mimic real-life American Football movements, moving the ball and players around, and throwing inch-perfect passes by copying the movement on the freehand controller. The faster you move it, the harder the throw!

Sounds a bit smash brothers.. but also a bit gimmicky..

Possibly, if the gestures are big and not responsive, but if there tight and are just small flicks then it could be hell of a lot more intuative than using buttons.

True. We will see.
