In a recent interview with Newsweek, Electronic Arts CEO Larry Probst talked about his company' s increasing support for the Wii. Besides mentioning the Wii-specific Sims title, the executive also said that the publisher has " some things in the pipeline" that will be exclusive to the platform.

Today, EA threw more of its considerable weight behind Nintendo' s new console. The company announced that it has bought Headgate Studios, the developer of the last six PC installments in the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise and Madden NFL 07. Now the shop, redubbed EA Salt Lake, will " focus on development for the Nintendo Wii."



Lets hope they get creative with the Wiimote and create some unique games for Wii.

True but no one can deny the power EA wields in this industry.
A few exclusive titles, no matter how crappy, stamped with the EA logo are bound to sell a bundle.

Note i don' t intend to buy any EA software but its a positive sign for Nintendo.
