Everyone in the studio is energized by the creative opportunity afforded by both the hardware and controller," said John Schappert, senior VP and general manager of the Wii dev team. "By reaching into our catalogue, we are able to bring a fresh and distinctive experience to some of EA's most popular franchises. Creatively, the game play possibilities are staggering and endless."
