Wii U’s FIFA 13 Looks Better Than PlayStation 3 & Xbox 360 Versions

During a recent interview with ONM, EA producer Matt Prior revealed that EA has been able to improve the visuals of FIFA 13 for Wii U. According to Prior, Wii U’s version of FIFA 13 will be “on a par” with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, and EA was “able to make some key graphical improvements” to it.

According to ONM, you can tackle, pass, shoot, take free kicks and penalties by using the touchscreen on the Wii U GamePad. You will also be able to make strategic decisions in real-time, thanks to the the Wii U GamePad.

  1. It’s because the Wii U is a better console with superior hardware, even though it’s the software that really matters.

            1. Specially since in USA the economy it’s really meh, making a console more expensive than 450-500$ it’s pure suicide.

          1. Even tho PS3 is my favorite console of this gen. It has awesome exclusives and good multi-plats. The Wii had awesome exclusives, but lacked in multi-plats.

            1. And I want you to be a successful fanboy, like all the gay nintendo fanboys on this site. Not a straight one among you.

        1. nintendo hasn’t want since the n64. sales don’t matter its what the gamers are talking about. Gamers left the wii, Sure most gamers have one but it never gets used.

          The Wii-u SHOULD be better then the 360 and PS4, but that’s like comparing the ps1 to the ps2 in terms of graphics, it is pointless, until we see next gen consoles we won’t know for sure.

          will the wii-u “lead” 8th gen? probably not. maybe in sales, but again these don’t matter nearly as much as what people talk about I predict Nintendo will come in 2nd. I think sony will win and MS will lose with their kinect push and lack of exclusives.

          1. The big difference is Wii U will get more 3rd party support than Wii. Plenty consoles sold + heavy support, I don’t see how people would abandon it. Trust me, developers will be smart enough this time around and stick to which consoles will help sell. In that case, they’ll gain my support.

            1. Dude, the same third parties as the Wii are onboard, I’m not seeing any difference.

              The same. Third. Parties.

  2. He also said that all team management, stats, passing, tackling, marking, shooting, and free kicks can be done on the touch screen for advance tactics. now that’s what I wouldn’t just call a “port”

    1. Silly touchscreen additions that can be done with physical controls anyway doesn’t make it less of a port.

          1. Pretty sure a good amount will support the controller. It’s the developers fault if they don’t add support, resulting in less sales of their specific game.

            Just being a realist is all..

      1. The touch screen is not “silly” people gonna eat that up. I can also bet my balls that ps4 and xbox 720 gonna have some kind of touch screen input too. You are being a blood claat douche!!!!

        Get N or get OUT!!!

        1. You’re a casual, and your “friends” are idiots who prefer motion control over second analog sticks for everything. LOL.

          1. And I would gander to guess, much like most kids these days, you are a fat kid who is just ‘too lazy’ to move his arms while he does something as exhilirating as playing video games…except when it comes to the Cheetos bag next to you….mmmm, Cheetos…

          2. yea look who is talking bout “idiot” you are the idiot who is here everyday trolling on us who loves nintendo. You are a sad kid. I am disgust by you and your philosophies. Just go back to your mom basement you unemploy piece of shit.

      1. You have genuinely convinced me that you have reached a whole new level of mental retardation. your ancestors are looking upon you now, violently spewing blood and entrails, regretting the sad excuse of a failed abortion your pathetic existence represents, you morbidly obese, defecating imbecile. a day will come, where you step into a vehicle and get into a horrible accident involving a horde of mimes, small glass shards and a baseball bat covered in rusty nails rammed into your pelvis.

  3. Ever so slightly obvious. An 8th generation console will obviously be more powerful that a 7th generation console allowing for greater quality.

    1. In this seventh generation a little system called the Wii, kicked the combined touché of the 360 and ps4. It’s now time for the Wii’s child the Wii U to hand out a whooping not only to the up coming ps4 and xbox720, but to the ps3/360 and throw in the Vita for good measure. It’s Nintendo eat your hearts out. When it comes to gamings gaming it’s Nintendo! Now you are playing with power :).

      1. I don’t doubt that the Wii U will stand a great chance of doing what you say and may “hand out a whooping” to all the other consoles on the market.

        But that’s not what gaming’s about. While I’m highly critical of Microsoft at times and I know it, since the 6th generation and Sega’s fall from the console market, and Microsofts entrance, the industry has turned into a war. Don’t you remember the days of the PlayStation, Mega Drive/Genesis, and the Nintendo 64, back when it was all about creating their own gaming experience and not about stealing the gamers from other consoles.

        I can’t wait for the Wii U, PS4/Next Xbox, but if it turns into a repeat of the 7th generation with two very similar consoles and one underpowered innovation machine, I’ll only be purchasing two again.

        1. I remember those great days, when Nintendo made great games like now, Sony had their own great titles and innovations, Sega made games that forced Nintendo to be even more creative. PC was a utopia for point and click gems. We have the Wii U and OUYA to look forward too this eighth generation. Your words tell me Microsoft and their two exclusive having machine would do well to leave the console business. They are messing up gaming period. Hope more people would see that M$ really have no innovative minds at all. All we need is Wii U, PS4, OUYA and PC-Mac.

          1. That way, maybe Sony will be forced to return to their older state of creating new things instead of their current methods of fighting Microsoft by using their tactics of stealing ideas.

      2. Kicked them in sales, because the Wii is miles behind when it comes to software.

        So much fanboy talk in this.

        1. No it’s not Nintendo software has always been smashing the Charts, get it Nintendo software. On the PS3 and Xbox360 it is third party making the money. In short Nintendo made more money on consoled, millions of Wii-motes, balance boards, Nintendo IPs, second party IPs, respected third parties entries ( MHtri). Virtual console and the e-shop. Nintendo made $70 after all taxes on every Wii sold. Sony and Ms sold their consoles for a loss for 4 whole years. Now whose the genius. By the way Aelous 450 000 super Mario bros sold in japan in two days.

          1. Those figures are made up. Fanboy facts, not true numbers.

            In Japan, xBox sells 3:1 to Nintendo products.

            Now Those are hard facts. And not fanboy bullshit.

            1. I’m pretty sure Xbox doesn’t sell more than Nintendo products in Japan, haven’t checked the stats for a while though, do you have a source for these facts, would like to see it as that would be a big deal for Microsoft to be doing so well in Japan.

      3. Combined…depends how you look at that. In sales the Wii has sold a little over 96m units, whereas the PS3 and 360 combined have sold over 133m units. And hardware sales don’t count for much when the unit isn’t being used. I have a Wii, i must use it at best 1% of the time compared to my PS3 or 360. the Wii sold more units because it was cheaper, and when people wanted a games console they went for the cheaper option – similarly why the 360 sold so many, at the time hardcore gamers went out and bought the cheaper console (i’m not nocking the 360 – clearly a more worthwile purchase than the Wii)

        1. The xbox 360 is utter nonsense. All you needed this generation was a Wii and a PS3( can’t believe am saying this ). The Wii for grand AAA Nintendo classics and second party exclusives like the last story, XENOBLADE chronicles and pandoras tower. Third parties, monster hunter tri, red steel 2, marumasa, ray man origins etc. The PS 3 for multiplats and Sony exclusives like little sack boy.

          1. The 360 is just the ps3 but with online fees, small harddrive, and one good exclusive (Halo). The ps3 has TONS of awesome exclusives, free online, a great optional subscription, evrn something simple like rechargeable controllers. Ive saved a ton from not having to buy batteries.

            Everyone shouldve had a Wii and a ps3 this gen, and a wiiu and ps4 respectfully next gen.

              1. No. It isnt. Peter Moleyneux or however you spell it is a dumb prick. “in trying to make the best rog ever made”. Doesnt. “i love innovation”. Doesnt think the wiiu is interesting, because hes busy riding microsofts dick

            1. You hold a good point. I only use my Xbox more because of the more active online scene (even if you must pay,) the more diverse multimedia and the family seem to love Kinect. I can’t stand Kinect, it’s fun for really casual games but you can’t do anything beyond that, you can’t have the same fun as the Wii. You could have better fun with the PS Move. If there were more than 5 decent games for it. Sony know how to curate a platform but I don’t know why they didn’t pull PS Move off as well as they did the PS3. They need to integrate it further into the main console before the end of the PS3’s life. It’s not a Vita style failure (Sony could even bring back the Vita of they like) but it certainly isn’t a feature I would integrate into a PS3 game.

        2. I hope Xbox don’t use 2nd and 3rd purchases as additional sales numbers. How many Xbox caught red rings? If all those initial purchases still worked to this day, I doubt their numbers would be this high. I bet most consumers are aware of this by now and Microsoft should not pull the same move again.

      1. Key graphical upgrades= no shit, uses gamepad for touch controls= no shit. Am I missing something or are you misunderstanding me?

        1. Just because the game is on a more powerful system doesn’t mean the game is going to look better. You make it seem like it’s suppost to be better looking no matter what.

          1. I expected it to look better on stronger hardware, it does, no shit. I didn’t expect it to be a major upgrade graphically nor did I state that it would. Maybe you shouldn’t make baseless assumptions.

              1. Then what did you think I originally meant? Its the best looking version of the game, no shit its on hardware coming 7years after the competition. Is it insane to think it will look better? The article says it has graphical upgrades. Hell, I knew the WiiU had better lighting in June 2011.

                1. I doubt you would have known all ready that you could do strategic decisions on the Wii U game pad in real time so I don’t see how this could have been a “no shit EA” moment.

        1. only in it’s liquid form. And when it’s in it’s solid or gas forms too i suppose. But not when it’s in it’s plasma form, that i’m sure of…wait, now thinking about it…

          1. Water is the name for the liquid form, there is no short name for the 4 forms, only the chemical name, H2O. Correct me if I’m wrong mind you.

        1. Is that it so its the same stuff sports version of call of duty same rehashed shit. They just change graphics and player and ai why don’t they just make it a dlc waste of money not worth it

            1. you pathetic counterfeiting slut. do you really think that you would be able to get away with that kind of disgusting representation of a childhood icon? you should be disgusted. in fact, you need to take a cork screw, ram it into your liver, and hope to god that it kills you quickly. if not, you’re in luck. im sure that anyone with a right mind, would happily put you out of your misery. well, it would be more like putting everyone else out of there misery,since they are getting rid of the foul, disgusting, waste of human flesh that you claim yourself to be. this site, nay, the world, would be a much better place without you plaguing it with your idiotic sense of self righteousness.

        2. Graphics have hardly changed in years (and aren’t really that good – players look like they’re made of rubber and everything’s really shiny), only very slight AI changes, and can you not do transfers in FIFA? oh well guess that’s another reason not to buy it…

          1. thats were you wrong this year fifa 12 they change the ai completely and a completely new defensive ai if you like football then fifas the way to go and im from the uk were its massive but im looking forward to get all theses games and the nintendo exclusives all on one console and i hope for cross game chat too

    1. Exactly, if it was released ever 3 years instead of annually, the could have club changes as DLC and more major changes in each new game version.

  4. Most graphical improvements are mainly improved texturing, bloom lighting, filtering, better shadow detail, anti-aliasing, and framerate. Those type of improvements, however, are very minute, and only those who make a habit of noticing these kinds of things will see the difference. Otherwise, the graphics will be mostly the same, especially since the Wii U, though more powerful, is still within the same class of power as the 360 and PS3.

    1. more like “especially because it’s just a port and EA isn’t going to adapt the game’s engine from scratch”

      slight graphical improvements are usually the only thing we could ever expect from a console->pc-port aswell

    2. Don’t try to reduce the Wii U to tech from it’s fathers generation the Wii. The Wii U is a beast deal with it. FIFA 13 on an HD Nintendo console some one pinch me cause I must be happily dreaming. Imagine this, all you will ever need now is a Nintendo home console for all third party multiplats cause xbox 720 like xbox 360 will only have two exclusives, and tout as always the multi-electronic device port COD. ps4 shall have Nintendo copies from the control scheme to little sack boy racing, Sony all stars I wish we had ‘Mario SSBB’ battle royale. Nintendo have stepped up like the bosses they are.

  5. The only way graphics will be a big fucking improvement over this generation is if the graphics are almost or as good as the Avatar movie…

      1. ladies and gentlemen, i give you the most worthless, pathetic representation of an attempt of being intelligent that I have yet to witness. This man, has single-handedly shown to us how vile and disgusting the human mind can be. I am embarrassed to classify him as a species of my own. he is a disgrace to humanity and deserves to be eradicated from all of existence. your intellect cannot even meet up to a 10 year old, mosquito infested bacon strip left to rot, a mutual effect that your infected existence should have shared, you snotty, disgusting piece of rotting entrails of a decrepit, elderly mountain lion infested with ticks.

    1. Olivia the Wii U has a controller called a Wii U classic controller pro as well. It has dual clickable analog sticks, it has 4 front facing buttons ( 2 shoulder and 2 triggers ), it has gyros and accelerometers done right, unlike the pretend 6axis, it has the diamond buttons ABXY, home button and can by choice work with the touch screen controller most likely for menu shuffle. Now tell me do you really want to spend $ 60 on a 6 year old device or buy one that will maintain trade in value because it’s visuals on the Wii U shall be 1080 P, running at 60 frames per second? Nintendo baby.

      1. Wii U has not been showing “1080p, 60fps” on any game besides scribblenaut.

        Just because it can “do it”, doesn’t mean it will be doing it. This is like the only shit you guys preach as if you know how expensive it is to develop games running natively at that resolution.

        1. thats were your wrong the wii u is a beast all 3rd titles will be release 1080p 60fps only 1 parties will be released 720p reviewtechusa made a video on it and left the link to the article which i read NINTENDO DO IT AGAIN BABY

  6. Playing FIFA 13 on the Wii U sound me like a better idea. Despite Olivia’s lack of experience, FIFA 13 U can do a lot of things the PS3’s monotonous controller cannot do– use the touchscreen for not only using plays, but also use strategic plays (offense and defense) in real-time.

  7. The Wii U IS SUPPOSED TO look better than a 6 year old console. That’s like saying “The Zelda: TP looks better on Wii than GameCube.”

  8. Its good that the graphics are better but I’m still getting on 360. You should check out the Fifa 13 kinect trailer, quite interesting to be honest.

  9. I am starting an advice column on my posts on this great website. Here goes :

    1) trade in your xbox 360 while it still has value
    2) get a Wii with the games listed below to keep you gamer occupied until the Wii U :
    a- monster hunter tri great online and offline
    b-super Mario galaxy 1 and 2 ( the other greatest game ever ) need I say more
    c-Zelda skyward sword ( a work out and a half for your body and brain)
    d-James Bond golden eye on the Wii with nunchuck support, one of the best FPS and story driven games this generation.
    e-zack and Wiki ( epic puzzler ).
    f-RES4 ( it’s Leon baby only way to play resident evil)
    g-XENOBLADE CHRONICLES ( Long as the can make them RPG best RPG this generation together with the next one am stating)
    h-The Last Story ( A game made by the man that created the original Final Fantasy word! )
    i-The Wii U shall be able to play all the above mentioned games
    .
    .
    n-get N or get out.
    .
    .
    u- Wii U ( NES and SNES are smiling at Wii U)
    .
    .
    z- Zelda On the Wii U ( epic as epic can be ).

  10. It sure is a big achievement for a company to have a system with slightly better hardware than Six years old systems.

    1. LOL. Who the heck said it will be slighty better? Plus look at Ridge Racer 7. A 2006 PS3 launch game. Looks worse than a GameCube game and looks like a PS2 game. Laaaaaaame. We went from lame ( Ridge Racer 7) to WOW ( Uncharted 3)

      1. Educate them, oh! how soon the forget lol. People should not fear that Nintendo are bringing greatness to the eighth generation, embrace them. Picture this, you will play Zelda, metroid, Mario bros. plus the other multitudes of Nintendo franchises plus thus amazing second party offering; couple this with every multiplat on the other systems. Now ask yourself why buy anything else?

      1. No, thank YOU Aeolus. It was ultimately you who caused this comment.

        And SuperFakerBros: same here.

  11. Aeolus IS THE BIGGEST NINTENDO TROLL EVER AND THE FUNNY THING IS HES ADULT GROW THAT FUCK UP BRO LET NINTENDO HAVE THEIR MOMENT AND LET ALL US REAL NINTENDO IT ENJOY IT TO AS MUCH AS YOU TRY RUNNING NINTENDO DOWN YOUR PROBABLY GET A WII U TO BECAUSE YOUR PROBABLY A GRAPHICS HOE WE DONT NEED THE GRAPHIC BUT NOW WE HAVE THEM ANYWAY HAHAHAHAHAHA PSXBOX SUCKS NINTENDO FOR LIFE
