GameZone writes, "When a new console releases, it feels like a launch tradition to have a Madden game ready for it. So when the Wii U launched on November 18th, there sat Madden NFL 13 Wii U. Before release, one could only imagine the possibilities that the GamePad could unlock for football video games. With this Wii U port of Madden 13 -- and it's obviously a port -- innovation is on display with the GamePad. Unfortunately, there's a few downsides with the Madden debut on the Wii U."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "This is the sixth entry in a series of articles I’m writing that will look at all of the games available in a particular genre on the Vita. The articles will highlight all Vita-native games, as well as any backwards-compatible PSP and PS1 titles that can be downloaded in English (i.e. from the EU or NA stores), and will include some commentary on how well those games run on Vita and whether they fill any missing gaps in the library."
In many ways, this past console generation was a brutal one for sports video games. While other genres flourished, sports gamers were subjected to an irreversible thinning of the herd, losing MLB 2K, 2K Sports football, NHL 2K, both NCAA basketball franchises, and seeing arcade sports games all but vanish. Competition, which breeds innovation, is weaker than ever. But that’s not to say some standout games didn’t arrive as well.

Who ever wrote this must live in Denver. I know it's Legal there now but don't smoke too much. It may cause insanity.
EA SAID THAT THEY ONLY PUT IN A SHORT AMOUNT TIME TO PORT THE GAME TO WII U, SO THE HICCUPS ARE TO BE EXPECTED, I MEAN IT IS EA. HOWEVER, I THINK ANOTHER YEAR WITH THE SYSTEM WILL PROVE TO BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO EA AND WILL ALLOW FOR A MUCH BETTER GAME, SO I WILL WAIT AND SEE. I WILL BE BUYING MADDEN 14 FOR THE "U" SO I SURE HOPE EA REALLY MAKES AN EFFORT NEXT YEAR.
I ALSO HOPE THAT THEY MAKE NCAA 14 FOR THE "U" NEXT YR TOO. I WILL BE GETTING THAT ONE TOO.
