Renowned Video Game Football Franchise Released to Critical Acclaim
Redwood City, Calif., August 14, 2009 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today the release of Madden NFL 10 to retail stores across North America. Hailed as, “the best Madden in this generation of consoles” by Game Informer Magazine, Madden NFL 10 captures the authenticity and emotion of the NFL like never before.“Every summer culminates in the release of Madden NFL and it has become an annual holiday for millions of football fans,” said Nathan Stewart, marketing director at EA SPORTS™. “No matter if you’re looking for a realistic football simulation, or a family-friendly NFL experience, Madden NFL 10 represents the best of the award-winning franchise.”
It looks as though the white and pink DSi handhelds are one step closer to being confirmed for North America. The two color variations have been spotted on a Toys ‘R’ Us database listing, albeit without any release date. However, It wouldn’t be surprising if the white and pink DSi systems will be launching in the next few months. Nintendo provided a statement about the Toys ‘R’ Us listing, but simply said, “we don’t comment on rumours & speculation.”
