Madden Arcade Coming This Winter

The success of the downloadable 3 on 3 NHL Arcade led to speculation that other “arcade” titles would end up going the same route. That being simplified, compact, downloadable only offerings centered on fun factor at a lower price point. NHL Arcade sold for a reasonable $10 through PSN and XBLM and most found that it ultimately provided good value. With the end of the NBA and NFL Street (and NFL Tour) those two sports are primed for arcade offerings.

It appears that the first one to come with be for football. Earlier today Peter Moore announced that “Madden Arcade” is in development and targeted for a holiday release. This could be really successful considering that time of the year (December and January) are generally dry spells for sports gaming. I would anticipate a game carrying the Madden name to maybe come in at $20, but if they were able to stick at the same $10 as NHL that would be fantastic.

Potentially how interested will you be in a downloadable arcade style NFL game? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

I like my football games as realistic as possible, so no Madden arcade. I couldn't even stand playing blitz or any other arcade sports title.

NFl Tour Had Potential though, Madden Arcade might just be some bad short arcade game that doesnt offer much that might not even be worth it, they should of just worked on a Sick next Gen NFL Street 4

Give us a true sequel to NFL Street the last game wasn't that bad. It was only on the ps2 though I would like to see them try an nfl street type game instead of that tour garbage.

I think it sounds pretty sweet. I would like to see EA release the Genesis classics of Madden, NBA Live, Coach K and NHL on PSN and XBLA….

I think it sounds pretty sweet. Everyone was skeptical of NHL 3-on-3 and that game turned out to be damn fun. I would like to see EA release the Genesis classics of Madden, NBA Live, Coach K and NHL on PSN and XBLA….
