Maddenisskipping the Wii Uthis year, marking the first time since 1991 that a Nintendo console missed out on a newMadden.

So then… whatisElectronic Arts bringing to the Wii U?

EA spokesperson Jeff Brown broke the news toKotaku, adding that EA is always open to the possibility of future Wii U development.
