Read below and comment.
VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Video-game publisher Electronic Arts Inc unveiled two initiatives last week to breathe new life into its sports business by making games that are easier to play and customized for Nintendo Co Ltd's popular Wii console.

Key games such as "Madden" football, "NBA Live" and "FIFA" soccer will come out in special versions for the Wii, which has become the best-selling game system by drawing in older and female players with friendly graphics and simple motion-sensing controls.

EA is also starting a sub-brand dubbed Freestyle that will be home to a new set of games not tied to any existing league and therefore free of expensive licensing rights. The first game will be "Facebreaker," a cartoonish and whimsical boxing game due out in September.

    First Wii Fit, then trying to take over Take-Two, now this. GTFO.

    I hope it'll be fun at the very least.

    Edit:- Wait, what's wrong with me? I'm bashing them on making a new game? I should be happy.

    So what, Wii Sports 2008?

    This better be more than just a roster update, or I'm going to be really pissed.

    Soccer for the Wii? How is that going to work? You put some sort of ankle band on your ankle and you just start swinging yout foot around when the ball comes? But I would like to see a Madden game for the Wii, playing the quarterback.
