It’s encouraging to see that Electronic Arts is really getting behind the Wii and devoting teams to work on special Wii projects. Madden NFL 07 for Wii isn’t just the next Madden game. It’s going to be unique from the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, and EA Canada is doing some pretty cool things with it.

You probably already know all about it, but if you don’t, go read some previews of Nintendo’s new Wii console hardware. Any articles you read about Wii games won’t make sense if you don’t. Read more
