Electronic Arts held a little meet-and-greet with the press today out in California, so expect a bunch of new info today and tomorrow. At the top of the list is the developer's announcement that they are working on six titles for the Wii. The franchises for the titles are: Madden NFL, Need for Speed, Harry Potter, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, SSX and the Godfather.

While all of the game take advantage of the new Wii controller, they will still remain true to the franchises, EA says. Hit the jump for breathless quotes from EA and Nintendo higher-ups.

"Once we started to experiment with Madden on Wii, there was an explosion of innovation. Everyone in the studio is energized by the creative opportunity afforded by both the hardware and controller. By reaching into our catalogue, we are able to bring a fresh and distinctive experience to some of EA's most popular franchises. Creatively, the game play possibilities are staggering and endless," said John Schappert, Senior Vice President and General Manager, EA.

"Nintendo is excited to see the broad array of signature franchises that EA's talented development teams are designing for Wii," says Reggie Fils-Aime, president and COO, Nintendo of America Inc. "The combination of sensational games with Wii's unique play control will thrill players and breathe new life into video games."

I hear at least one of these will be a launch title. I wonder which one?
