Summer may be over in our neck of the woods, but our love of soccer remains strong, and will be aided by indoor leagues and televised events taking place in warmer regions of the world. However, footie loving gamers will all agree that the listed options aren’t enough to curb their fix, which is where EA Sports’ incredibly popular FIFA Soccer 13 comes into play. The game was released earlier this fall for different systems, but just recently made an appearance in the Wii U’s launch line-up. For that reason, we’ve decided to write a second review, in order to let the console’s owners and those planning to buy it know whether the pitch-based port is worth their hard-earned dough.
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
Just who is buying FIFA 13 on Wii U? We may never know, but there are more people buying that than there are Bayonetta 2 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
Sonic Boom is riding off the popularity of the TV show; it's a bad game.
And as for FIFA?
Well, guess that goes to show that there's a lot of older gamers on Wii U that wanted FIFA, then; sports games generally do out-sell action games, and Platinum isn't known for large sales in the first place.
I'm not worried for Bayonetta. It'll hit that 1M mark by the middle of next year, surely, at its current pace.
are seriously trying to downplay Bayonetta 2 with sales
