No Euro 2008 for Wii or DS News

DS Wii News by Tom Bramwell

1 February, 2008

Electronic Arts has confirmed to Eurogamer that there are currently no plans to release UEFA Euro 2008 on Wii and DS.

The game was unveiled earlier today on PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, PSP, PC and mobile.

But despite EA's Vancouver men turning out an interesting Wii version of FIFA 08 last year, a spokesperson told Eurogamer that nothing's been announced or is on the cards.

Still, who cares any more? It's not as though we're going to watch any of it on telly because it will make us cry.

Anyway, the other versions include a mode which lets you fight to become your country's captain, as well as interactive celebrations (punch Stewart Downing?) and a "Battle of the Nations" online element.

Watch out for more closer to the 11th April release.

No doubt Sega are doing "Mario and Sonic at Euro 2008".

Maybe for real fantasy they should do England and Scotland at Euro 2008!

I don't really give two hoots, but I'm surprised neverthless; why would EA pass up the opportunity to release one of their biggest franchises on the current two biggest-selling consoles in the world? We may never know or care.

My beloved Dreamcast suffered due to EA refusing to release its 'sport' games on the system. ;_;

to shoot oneself in the foot
: to act against one's own best interests

Of course it would be shovelware, but wtf! EA passing up a chance to make money?
