I know a lot of people aren't too excited over EA's sports games, but I have to say this is rather big news that the next NCAA Football game will be coming to the Wii. It has been a LONG time since this series has appeared on a Nintendo console. EA is also announcing a mascot poll whose winner will grace the cover of the Wii version. Here's part of the press release:
NCAA Football 09 for Wii will feature EA SPORTS Family Play, as seen in NBA Live, Madden NFL and FIFA. EA SPORTS Family Play is a multiplayer, social experience that allows novice users to compete against advanced players and still enjoy success. Regardless of the gamer’s ability or skill level, EA SPORTS Family Play creates an accessible and rewarding gaming interaction for all to enjoy. In this new style of play, users are given the option to choose Advanced or Family Play when entering a game. Advanced users take complete control of all aspects of gameplay, while players who choose Family Play are given control of key actions on the Wii Remote™ – such as passing, snapping, and kicking – while letting the game’s AI control player movement.
Voting for the NCAA Football 09 Wii Cover Mascot Challenge will start on Thursday, February 14. By visiting www.ncaafootball09.com (http://www.ncaafootball09.com/) fans can cast one vote per day for their favorite college mascot until the contest closes on Thursday, March 6. The winning school’s mascot will be announced March 14 on the NCAA Football 09 website.
I just think it is cool that this game is coming to the Wii. The Madden games have been generally well received on the Wii because of the control system. Now we'll be able to control our favorite college teams.
