FIFA 14 and Madden NFL 25 Skipping Wii U

Today EA confirmed to Eurogamer that both EA's FIFA 14 and Madden NFL 25 sports games will not see a release on the Wii U.

EA blames poor FIFA 13 sales on the Wii U for their decision to not develop the next year's iteration to their incredibly popular soccer franchise. An EA spokesperson said that despite the "… award-winning HD gameplay and innovative new ways to play…" the sales ultimately disappointed.

Alongside EA's decision to skip a Wii U version for FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25 will suffer the same fate.

We already reported earlier this week that EA has no games in development for the Wii U, but the decision to not develop Wii U versions for two of the most popular and best selling games of each year, makes us question Nintendo's and EA's relationship. And despite the growing negative perception of EA and Nintendo's current business partnership, in a response to EA's decision with its popular franchises, their statement claims that EA still shares a "strong partnership" with Nintendo.

FIFA 14 and Madden NFL 25 now joins the quickly growing list of EA titles consisting of Battlefield 4, Crysis 3 and Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, to skip a Wii U release.
