Madden NFL 25 officially skipping Wii U, becomes first Madden to skip Nintendo platforms since 1991

EA never confirmed Madden NFL 25 for Wii U when the title was officially announced, but there was hope that it could be happening further down the line. As it turns out, the publisher simply has no plans to bring the latest Madden NFL to Nintendo’s console.

A statement sent out by EA reads:

“We will not be releasing a Wii U version of Madden NFL in 2013. However, we have a strong partnership with Nintendo and will continue to evaluate opportunities for delivering additional Madden NFL products for Nintendo fans in the future.”

Amazingly, Madden NFL 25 marks the first entry to be skipping Nintendo platforms since 1991. EA must have been extremely disappointed with Madden NFL 13’s sales to ditch the system for this year’s release.
