Anyone know why games like NCAA 08 football and MLB 2k7 are not on the Wii?

If you think about it, it would be friggin awesome to play MLB on the Wii, probably the best console for it as of yet!

Blame EA or 2K for that. It's not Nintendo's fault.

As long as Madden 08 is on the Wii I'm satisfied... and judging by 07's success then I'm pretty certain it will be available. I wonder, however, wouldn't the controls for Madden and NCAA be similar? Therefore I see no reason that NCAA shouldn't be on the wii

Tiger Woods is set to come out on March 15th.

EA made mention of Fight Night for Wii.

And Take-Two made mention of MLB 2K for Wii.

NCAA football will come in due time, since Madden sold so well.

It might be a little longer before we see basketball or hockey on Wii. This is primarily because Wii Sports serves as a template for the other games. There's no basketball or hockey in Wii Sports, so the developers will have to figure it out from the ground up.

I'd like them to bring out a FIFA game for the wii and what i think is that instead of bringing out 07 versions of the games on the wii they are just making the 2008 versions and they will bring them out near the end of the year.

This is what i hope is going to happen anyway.

Here's what I know: Madden '08 is definitely on the Wii. I saw Electronics Boutique taking pre-orders for it. EA said, in the interview here on GameSpot on Madden '07, that hockey is in the works. EA has brought out one or two VC titles as well (such as SimCity). And 2K dropped the ball. They may have said they're embracing the Wii back in June of last year, but they haven't followed through. No doubt they gambled and threw their support behind the PS3. There's not presently a single Wii title on their release schedule, and only one mention ever of one, for The Bigs in Q4. EA looks to me to be committed to the Wii. They'll benefit where 2K loses. (They're already doing so on the PC.) David V .
