The Wii U version of FIFA 13 is apparently the definitive version when it comes down to visuals, according to the official Nintendo magazine. The publication says that the additional memory included in the Wii U allows for a more detailed pitch, players, and team shirts. Matthew Prior, the producer of FIFA 13, confirmed to the magazine that his team has been able to make certain improvements to the game over the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions thanks to the Wii U’s memory.
Thanks, Nintedward3dswiiu
GOAL!
Comparing Wii U to 7 year old consoles again. The stupidity continues.
Well what if it came out that EA had made a lazy port and it peformed worse than the 360 and ps3 ??? the developers are still throwing MEGA amounts of cash into games development for those platforms especialy on games like Fifa ….
And the wiiu version looks the best , which is good for Fifa wiiu fans to know…..
Obviously the wiiu should look better but it’s nice to know ……
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if EA did that. It’s EA.
I hate EA, they completely ruined Insomniacs game Overstrike. It looked so fresh at E3 2011, now it looks like a generic gritty third-person shooter.
EA is nothing but crap. FIFA is also crap. 99% of EA games are trashy-crappy shit as well. I’m surprised that some people still insist that FIFA is the best football franchise currently.
I don’t understand the appeal of sports games in general, just go outside and play for real.
I agree that playing for real is such a good activity. But, well, sport games they have their fans. Although I don’t include myself in that list, I can also really have a good fun playing any football game other than FIFA.
And, hopefully, I can say that EA never, ever took me one dime. I just consider everything they do as garbage. Moreover, see what they did regarding the Wii support. Nothing. Porting games that look even worse than PS2 is nothing less than contempt.
Supporting the Wii was merely a cash grab for them, I would be utterly surprised if they support the Wii U better (thought it doesn’t seem like it since we’re only getting an enhanced ME3 while other consoles and PC get ME Trilogy for the same price).
Right, the Mass Effect 3 issue was another irritating move from EA.
I also heard they’re having trouble with Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
* Star Wars The Old Republic.
Shut up, Mike S. You like Metroid Prime.
So your opinion doesn’t matter.
Really? Compare and contrast for yourself, which one looks more interesting?

Is not only Insomniacs EA had ruined Bioware and many game companies
I know, it sucks. Once you go to EA, your quality goes down. Thank god EA doesn’t actually own Insomniac and they’re only publishing the game.
Dude, Overstrike looked more amazing than… what was the name? Fuse Duty? It just sucks! =_= the first trailer was more unique..
poor Insomniac.. damn EA.
What else can you compare it to? If I compare it to the specs in my pc, I don’t think many people especially the console only gamers would know how it will run, how good it will look plus how much more it can take before getting maxed out. I think most people know how good ps3 and 360 can push out games.
As an example, if I said FIFA on WiiU looks slightly better then what ps360 can give us, then we all have a pretty good idea of how much better it can do. If I said FIFA looks even better on i7, 16gb ram, gtx570 sli pc, could you tell how much better it can look? And to a further extent how much more it can push out?
Comparing it to 7 year old consoles at this stage is not stupidity, parading around, dancing and singing that it is better then 7 year old consoles is stupidity.
So what are they supposed to compare it too? Don’t want to hear about Wii U games being compared to the other systems that the games are coming out on? Avoid the internet or only read artciles about exlusives.
Who says you have to compare to anything. WTF! It’s just fanboy bullshit.
That’s just silly. Comparisons between different versions of video games is nothing new. And people who own multiple consoles want to know what the differences are in the different versions so they can make an informed decison on which console to purchase it for.
Yeah but you’re comparing the same game that is created on both a console that was released 7 years ago and one that’s being released this year. You don’t think that’s silly?
No, because the Wii U isn’t 7 years more advanced than the current systems. Comparing a Xbox 360 game to an Xbox game = Silly. Comparing a PS3 game to a PS2 game = Silly. Comparing similarly powered consoles = not silly. And again, there is nothng else to compare it to. These are the systems that the game is coming out for. They can’t compare FIFA 13 for Wii U to PS4 because that’s not a thing. Just like comparisons are being made about Arkham City, Darksiders II and BO2. I own both 360 and PS3 and have a Wii U on Pre-order. I like knowing the pros and cons of each version, because I don’t have a blind aliance any console. I’ll buy the game for which ever console it’s “better for” regardless of when that system came out. For example, the online modes and functionality of FIFA are more important to me than the look of the pitch. So i’m getting it for PS3. Doesn’t mater that the PS3 is 6-7 years old. So these comparisons are how the end users knows what is different/better/worst in the different versions. Like you said, you only buy exclusives for Nintendo consoles. Thats fine, then the comparisons wont affect you. If Wii U FIFA 13 had better graphics and all the functionlity of the PS3 version, i’d get it for Wii U. So the comparison helps people like me.
Ya their seven years old with 7 years of experience with those system vs 6-7 month with WII U, developers r reaching the maximun power with the Xbox and Ps3 so to compare Max to base level performance is good and common….
Exactly!!! comparing fifa12 wiiu to fifa 06 on the 360 would be stupid. But comparing fifa 13 on wiiu to fifa 13 on the 360 isn’t stupid at all. The PC version barely looks better than the 360 version…..
If a buy a PS4 multiplat and the graphics are better I wouldn’t come on here and say the Wii U version is inferior. I’m not going to become an idiot like everyone else on the net who compares bullshit like this.
You sound like a crazy bitter person. All that was said is that the Wii U version looks better than the other two. At no point did anyone call the PS3 or 360 version inferior. The other versions have more modes and features, this version has some better graphics. It’s up to the individual to decide what’s more important to them. Seriously, all of you comments are so angry. Need a hug?
Yeah that’s cool. I’m sick of talking about graphics.
Well if Sony gets their way with making the PS4 female friendly… expect the graphics to drop.. rapidly.
what should we compare it to if not other game systems??
*rolls eyes at lame fanboy comments*
Welcome back, Aeolus…
We. Missed. You….
Can’t be Aeolus, the grammar is of poor quality ;D lol
but thats what sony fans have been doing so its ok for them to do it but its not ok for us
oh man want to see stupid comment (get ready to lol), go to ign man there so many comment like first they say that wii u is not powerful than ps3 and 360, but they also said that its not “next gen even though its better than ps3 & 360”.
trust me you will laugh like a king.
If I want a stupid comment, I’d just read yours.
cool story drone.
I’m a drone? Considering I play more than just Nintendo which is all you do? Yep, I’m a drone.
All cross platform games should end up like this.
He talks a lot in the interview about how basically they have been working under massive time restraints , yet they were still able to make the graphics better and add loads of complementary features.
If this is the rushed launch version , what will next years version be like ????
I think this is the case with pretty much ALL of the wiiu’s Multiplatform or ported titles. Once developers have a steady environment which isnt rushing to meet deadlines , the wiiu will just keep improving graphically year upon year :)
Feature wise it’s FIFA 12.5 though. Bloody EA…
Nah , it’s more of a totaly different version. It’s missing the new first touch that’s it…… that’s nothing , everything else is there and more and improved visuals and a TON of extra controls.
I would say that is impressive for a game that runs two screens at once of the game and is a launch title , would you ???
No, sorry. It lacks ALL new FIFA 13 features, lots of online modes and Ultimate Team, a feature that’s been in the game since FIFA 11.
But also has ALL the exclusive wiiu features ??? yeh….. I heard it lacks ultimate team mode that’s it… And that is a shit mode.
it has online season mode
MCV, this is what helps make Wii U a next gen system and not a stop gap system. The Wii, IMO, was a stop gap system
But Nintendo Gamer (who work closely with ONM) say it lacks all the new FIFA 13 features on other consoles, has no ultimate team and fewer online features. EA can’t be blamed but it’s really sad. I was acting like the cat that got the cream with my FIFA loving friends, knowing I’d get the best version. Now I can stop being so proud…
It’s a different version. It has LOADS and LOADS of really interesting features that the other 2 consoles don’t have !
I don’t know ….. i think this version is shaping up nicely!! Improved visuals and Unique wiiu modes sounds good to me .
Good point but that won’t be enough to persuade PS3 and 360 FIFA players away will it?
Maybe not .But it’s a good start off point for the wiiu. Next years version will surely include everything that they do . The wiiu discs are 3 X the size of a 360 disc so why it lacks any content is way beyond me.
It begs the question is EA butt hurt off origin still ??? But also , this version sounds good to me!! It does have the best visual and it does have Extra wiiu exclusive touch screen and dual screen play.
And from what I hear , it has pretty much everything the 360 and ps3 games have except ultimate team which wasn’t included due to time constraints and the fact that the wiiu’s online wasnt functioning for most of the development process.
PC version has the best visuals.
Lol pc derp wen ps3 x360 went nrxt gen the pc version was still built on the ps2 engine lol
So? I just sad something that is true. PC has best visuals, that will never gong to change.
Duh… of course? It has absolutely no excuse for why it shouldn’t so this is kinda lame.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m glad it does so, I just don’t think it’s newsworthy, that’s all.
Also, Sickr: this site has A LOT LESS news ever since Andriasang stopped reporting. Now I don’t really care that that’s where you got your news from – it always was online very fast – but maybe look for other sites to get news? Siliconera and Gematsu have a lot of good news (just a tip).
But of coarse.
*course
This news was already posted before I guess SlickR knew that since he posted the original.I guess he needs more comments and more traffic,so he probably thought to go ahead and start a fanwar zone :P
Yeah, recent posts do seem to start up fanwars, except for the Gangnam style one.
Cheap site traffic, this site is slowly getting worse =(
Stop trying to start flamewars Sickr, how about some objectively chosen news.
I really hope all the same modes are on this version
That’s expected.
Gagos arse looks so real lol
“According to the official Nintendo magazine”
Well there is your reason why. Biased much.
Anyways don’t carw about FIFA or anyother sports game just came here to say that lol.
I don’t think third party developers take Nintendo seriously enough. That’s why I only buy their exclusives.
I just buy the exclusives, well some of them because I love those games. Any 3rd party game ill have for my 350 or Ps3. There is always more support for them on there.
Wii u may look better, but at the current time I can actually play it in my ps3
Gameplay>graphics just at this time game play actually means the ability to play the game.
So what are you saying?
Is it true that WiiU version of FIFA13 is the same engine of FIFA12 with some updates for the gamepad?. Are physics and engine improvements of FIFA13 for PS360 included in WiiU version?
It’s official… I’m buying FIFA 13 along with the Wii U.
Same here, FIFA 13 for the Wii U is my choice, Day 1.
Fifa 13 on Wii U, like Wii, is Fifa 12. Just dolled up a bit more http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=188316. Fuck you EA, we don’t need your “support” on the Wii U. There are plenty of other third-party companies out there who are actually putting effort into the Wii U versions of their games like Ubisoft, Gearbox, Platinum Games etc.
EA should be introduced to a face-hugger.
Don’t chestbursters take on qualities of the host? Dear god……….. an EA Xenomorph *shudders* Btw, here’s an interview from NY comic con http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=188329 I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, in fact they do. :p
Fortunately, this could lead to a less committed, less intellegent xenomorph… Making them less efficient killing machines.. Mwahaha!
(PS: In addition to zombie movies / games, I’m a huge fan of the Aliens franchise. #1&2 especially)
1 & 2 are the only ones i’ve seen fully, and from what I heard they’re the only good ones.
I also saw Prometheus, did you?
Hell yeah. They can say it’s not a prequel… But it explains where the aliens came from, so… Prequel. :). Maybe a prequel-prequel.
Aliens 3 had horrible Audio and wasn’t that great. # 4 was more modern, but just full of weird shit. The Aliens Vs Predetor movies are on, but not near as good as the Comics.
That stilol doesn’t make up for wii…
after controlling all 11 players in real time with advanced traditional and RTS like controls with wii remote and nunchuck on pes wii
i point and giggle at people thinking this is next gen football IT ISNT LOL@ n64 like systyems that wont go away
anything benith the all 11 real time wii remote football and the mouse point dribble system IS OLD ASS AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED
1 player at a time like a snes game i love ps3 and x360 fans they live in a dream world
olaying football that way became obsolete the second ;pes had wii controls FACT SORRY
im not bigging up pes or the poor graphics on wii pes witch is a insult to wii owners
