The gamepad involvement puts the Wii U version over the top. This review is total nonsense.

@b74kd3th Lack of skill? Nintendo developers certainly don't lack in skill. The rest of your post is opinionated at best....

@cheamo You should get that tattooed! Make a statement!

@stevenspall and I feel exactly the OPPOSITE of you. I was immersed in the gamepad and felt gaming was better with it. To each their own.

@fanirama " Making the same Marios with no innovation "

Wow. No innovation. Ummmm...ok. Nintendo has taken mario from 2D to 3D and back. Many different control schemes and now even another with Wii U. No innovation!? Man, you aren't EVEN paying attention.

@Grenadeh #3 is just your opinion and Nintendo just announced a $50 price drop for Wii U. A good lineup of games on the way through the new year too. I'd say they are attempting to adapt right now. So #5 is wrong.

I bought this because it was too good a deal not to! Besides, this version of Madden is now running on a new engine I believe. Still wish I was picking up a new NFL2K though....

Hopefully the eshop will be getting more than just Gamegear games as the 3DS seems to be getting some pretty good treatment. Sega games going to the 3DS include: Altered Beast, Ecco the Dolphin, Galaxy Force, Shinobi, Sonic the Hedgehog, Space Harrier, Streets of Rage and Super Hang-On. Would be nice to see some Virtua Fighter and Nights on Wii U...I really want Space Harrier on 3DS! Hurry up U.S. release!!!!

"Nintendo also announced the addition of more classic Sonic and Sega titles to the Wii U eShop in the future."

Which ones? Anyone have anymore info on this? Looks like the Mickey: Castle of Illusion remake isn't going to be on Wii U though...

No doubt. This will be the best version.
