I like the way this studio thinks. AE games? They're totally making fun of EA, and rightfully so.
Who needs Madden NFL from EA on the Wii U when we have Madmen NFL from AE? ;)

BoneBone3715d ago

I like how Nintendo have given a voice to even the smallest of indie developer who can stump up a couple of grand for a dev kit and be able to take on and mock someone like EA.

Who knows where the indie thing might lead for Nintendo, but creativity is what Nintendo stands for, and what EA does not.

Dev kit use on Wii U is free :)

I may not be a sports game fan, but I respect the work these guys are doing.
Any jab at the back-stabbers in EA is a good one, at least sometimes.XD

Besides, there's something extremely amusing about the thought of George Washington as a line-backer...

LOL_WUT3714d ago

Backstabbers? The WiiU just underperformed it was nothing personal just business ;)

wonderfulmonkeyman3714d ago

That's no excuse for the ME3 debacle and you know it.

mydyingparadiselost3715d ago

Well I'm at least doubting less, if I'm wrong in my doubts then I'll buy the game as an apology.

Ratty3715d ago

No one was questioning their good intention. We were questioning whether or not they EXISTED. And basically, the concept art proves nothing... or not much at the very least.

As far as we know, the guy was hired for one concept art.

Come on, Nintendo...

But, anyway, I kinda accept the idea. They could make parodies of every NFL team, because they already have taken the name of Madden.

Gonna enjoy seeing where this goes..Lol!

I have a feeling AE is a troll developer, the kind you see on Steam with terrible early access games. As long as they don't make themselves out to be good without anything to show for it, I think this is all in good fun.

R00bot3468d ago

Haha true it looks like it was made in Gary's Mod.

Sarobi3468d ago

Isn't AE basically just one guy? I could of sworn I read that somewhere.

Macdaddy713468d ago

I see now it's time to sell the wii u,..if this is the only kind of crap games Nintendo can get to come to the system I'm bout done, that's me!!! I'm sure they need to it to add to the kiddi system, just not me..3rd party is all but dead on the wii u

Metallox3468d ago

And Bayonetta 2 launches on Friday. Dude, why?

ChickeyCantor3468d ago

Implying you bought all those kids game on the Ps2? Of course you didn't. You're laughable.

RadioActiveTwinky3468d ago

This is either one of the best things or worse things to happen with Nintendo.
on one hand your 3rd party support is dropped, but can be made up with supporting the smaller hungrier devs.
It's as if Nintendo is going through the whole video game crash on its own. Starting from scratch since it lost the major studios.
It could be worse because it's a huge risk they will be taking. I mean huge, but it's of set again would be the success of the potential. It's not like they have much of a choice really. I for one will look forward to watching this unfold. I am still a proud owner of a WiiU. It's potential hasn't even been tapped if you ask me. The gamepad has extremely high potential. Only limit is its proximity sadly.

N4g_null3468d ago (Edited 3468d ago )

Very interesting points. Another is nope they all are going thur a crash.

Japan's blockbuster are no where to be found almost even on ps4 and xbone. Ubisoft and a few other developers are in the process of releasing a string of mediocre games so far. I mean the wiiu launch games sold ok but the ratings where at least on par with what was expected. So far the gaming majority is betting on the same 3rd party were major studios have bowed out or some how falter.

It seems lots of talent has been lost from the development pool across the board yet the AAA title only have better graphics and glitchy gameplay and or boring game play. The problem is most indies can't afford those graphics yet the other shoes is going to drop when gamers are feed up with pretty boring game play. Or just mediocre hype machines. I'm not going to support mediocrity on the wiiu ethier.

It is arguably that nintendo has the most studios that are not going thur hd fatigue. I see a lot of sales and a lot of complaints these days. Then I see these high selling games get pretty bad reviews.

There was one other console that did this. It was the 3do. Crazy hype yet no one bit. What is dangerous is we are about to see that our triple A games are just prettier versions of indies efforts.

I hope for this guy's sake he isn't showing his skill level. Another thing I'm noticing is these trailers are horrible lol. Interesting concepts and brave even. Yet everyone has to have horrible first then comes the good games.
