''Madden NFL 09'' is an American football video game based on the NFL that was published by EA Sports and developed by EA Tiburon. It is the 20th annual installment in the ''Madden NFL'' video game franchise. The game was released for the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, and Mobile phone.〔 It was also the last video game for the Xbox produced and released in North America and the last ''Madden'' game released for the Nintendo DS. A GameCube version was cancelled due to the system's discontinuation in 2007. Unlike previous versions, the game was not released for the PC. EA Sports has said that they are "retooling the PC version" after not making 09. Despite these claims of 'retooling', PC users were again ignored the following year as no Windows version of Madden NFL 10 were released. In June 2009, EA Sports announced that for the year 2010, the ''Madden NFL'', ''NCAA Football'', ''NASCAR'', ''NHL'', ''NBA Live'', and ''Tiger Woods PGA Tour'' series would not be shipped for Microsoft Windows.〔()〕 The Wii version of the game is titled ''Madden NFL 09 All-Play'' and was launched under EA Sports' new ''All-Play'' brand exclusive to the platform, taking a slightly different approach to the game and taking advantage of the motion controls. The 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition of ''Madden NFL 09'' includes ''NFL Head Coach 09'', an alternative case, an exclusive version of ''John Madden Football '93'' with updated teams and rosters and bonus video content and clips. A demo of the game was released on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network. The standard version and the anniversary package were released on August 12, 2008. As of August 12, 2008, the game was the last title released for the original Xbox. A Spanish-language version of the game was released on September 17, 2008 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Madden NFL 09 En Español - Xbox 360 )〕 ==Cover athlete== On April 23, 2008, David Letterman revealed that former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre would be the cover athlete of ''Madden NFL 09'' on the ''Late Show with David Letterman''. Despite Favre's later unretirement and trade to the New York Jets about five days before ''Madden NFL 09'' was officially released in North America, the game's cover still featured Favre wearing a Packers uniform. Instead of reissuing the packaging, On August 12, 2008, EA made available a free alternative cover of Favre in a Jets uniform from their website that players were able to download and print. At first the new covers were available for all the consoles except the Xbox, Nintendo DS, and Wii, which use an alternate cover. On September 15, 2008, EA made available a cover shot specifically for the Wii that had Brett Favre as a Jet.〔 Favre was a playable character in every version of ''Madden NFL 09.'' Although disputed, Favre was available on the Nintendo DS version. On the Wii, PSP, and PS2 editions, he was not on the Jets roster, but available on a historic team, the 2007 Packers. Players could transfer Favre to the free agent roster pool, and pick him up on any of the 32 NFL teams for the 2008 season. A roster update on August 12, 2008 placed Favre on the New York Jets roster as their starting quarterback.〔 Like all other games of EA Sports' 09 season, the "All Play" version of ''Madden'' seen on the Wii features a different photograph of Favre with different graphics and artwork than the other versions of the game. The Anniversary Collector's Edition does not feature a cover athlete - it has a larger version of the Roman numeral XX logo shown in the top-left corner of the game's standard cover. This edition of the game is also not available outside North America. Roberto Garza, a guard for the Chicago Bears, is the cover athlete for the Spanish version, ''Madden NFL 09 en Español''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Madden NFL 09」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
