Though there have been some discrepant reports, Macworld and Pocketgamer are reporting that EA is bringing a number of premium titles to the App Store this year.
The list provided include a number of EA's sports titles including:
Hasbro licenses:
- Connect Four
- Battleship
- Risk
- Clue
And other titles:
- Spore Creatures
- Mystery Mania
- American Idol
- Command & Conquer
- Monopoly – the original version
- Wolfenstein RPG
Of course, Tiger Woods PGA Tour and Need for Speed are still in the works. No details about the various titles were given.
Isn't that fun. Instead of giving us a more full-fledged Spore experiance from the get-go; They milk it out and have us purchase each portion of the experiance. How typical.
I hope they redo Monopoly with nice clean and crisp 2D graphics like the regular iPod version instead of the muddy, over animated 3D graphics of the current iPhone version.
Ditto on the 2D. I'll buy it again if it's in 2D – the 3D version is too slow paced.
As much as I love NFL football and therefore Madden, I do not want a port to my iPod. Please give us some original games instead of ports!
Please, please, please let SSX be good! I love that series.
Please DO NOT kill off Lux Deluxe a la Risk, FSTouch4 a la Connect Four, eta. Some of my favourite games!
Oh man Madden for the iPhone is going to be sweet – PLEASE support the new peer 2 peer feature so I can play my brothers in long car rides!
SSX is an awesome game. hope they take the time to make it good
So at the rate EA is currently putting out previously promised games, we should see the first of this list sometime in 2012?
Command & Conquer? Damn Blizzard release Starcraft for iPhone…
Try warfare Inc till then
I can confirm that these titles will indeed all be out in 2009
I received a email from EA Mobiles PR stating that 16 games are announced to be released in 2009
No dates or order yet
do you have any idea what titels these 19 new games will be
Would love to see Command & Conquer done good.
Argh! Battleship, FINALLY!!! Gamel0ft had one title for click wheel iPods, but not for the iPhone OS… Glad that EA is making it now…
NBA? must be use accelerometer to throw the ball. hehe
How about releasing Scrabble on the UK store first
I wish they had released the original edition of Monopoly before the "Here and Now" edition. I never cared for all the "enhancements". Guess I get to buy Monopoly twice!
And yes, at the very least allow us to turn the animations off.
And Wolfenstein RPG, is that going to be developed by EA or just published by them for Id software. As excited as John Carmack supposedly was about the iphone you would think after 6 months Id would have released the game already instead of licensing it out to another company.
rpg is different than 3d classic
btw wolfenstein is already out. go see for ur self
Since I'm too lazy to look it up right now, anyone know what Mystery Mania is?
SSX should be a blast!
Sure taking their time with Need for Speed eh?
right on!
after many months of broken promises, i gave up waiting for need for speed…
omfg EA give me a goddamn hockey game PLEASE. Nobody likes soccer, and there's already a good soccer game. So just replace that with hockey.
I like football and I am happy to see Fifa this year on the iPhone.
OMG! OMG! C&C!!! Want now! Please!
I have been waiting on Madden since I got my iPhone. Thought it was an excellent idea and that EA should be able to pull it off quite nicely. Quite excited about this! Don't let me down EA!!!!
EA should not be telling people that their going to release 10 more games this year, when they had spent over a year (so far) to release one game. dont take this the wrong way, all these games will be amazing and well done, but i just dont think they can pull off all these games before 2010. cant wait for these games. all totally awsome!
Ea sucks. They need to finnish nfs and tiger woods before any other freaking game. Screw EA they're a bunch of liars. Guareentee these games wont come out till next year or even 2012
finally someone who agrees with me (kinda)
first
"oh yeah guys nfs is coming November 17"
then
"no no guys we meant early march, for real"
I'm sick of their lies c
i dont see NHL on the list but it was supposed to have been announced according to pocketgamer……
GO EA! lol, well before all of these exciting games come out, we need to see Need for Speed and Tiger Woods in the AppStore… I've lost hope in NFS…
I'm going through SSX withdrawal… I miss the insane jumps and big air. It's been too long. The more insane the track, the better!
I very like Need For Speed !!!!! I can't wait . EA, give me NFS please!! I need it.
SSX is one of my favorite games of all time (the whole franchise across PS2, PSP, and Wii).
WOOOW!!! I want FIFA!! and i want C&C… OMFG I can't wait to C&C comes.. meantime i will have to stick with Warfare Inc.
When EA is making games on ipod/phone, they have to be good..
What about FIFA MANAGER??? Someone please make Manager and other simulation games
ipod & iphone is fantastic.. the gaming possibilities is amazing..
Someone care to make a band like Chart Wars to iphone/pod??? come on… we gamers need hell of alot more COOL games… keep it up EA!!!
C&C FTW! WIll it be Red Alert or Tiberium series?? RA3, I suppose…
EA is announcing a lot of games but they never come out… i doubt if even NFS comes out this year!!
wow madden?!?!?! im really exited to play it, need for speed was awsome man, its the best racing game there is!,…. i know it would be cool
Watch them, once again, deliver simple ports with no innovation what so ever. Im talking about lack of online multiplayer in risk and monopoly for example.
I don't know
monopoly sucks
Let's go
