EA is continuing their tradition of supporting the Wii with Madden releases. The latest game, Madden NFL 13, will hit the console later this year.

Unfortunately, EA will not be bringing the title to the 3DS. The company recently shared a statement which simply says, “There will not be a new version for 3DS this year.”

Ubisoft did not share any specific sales figures. They did say, however, that Rayman Origins “has the capacity to become a long-term seller for the company.”
