Development and release
John Madden Football was released on the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer by EA Sports in North America on May 6, 1994. Electronic Arts Victor distributed the game in Japan that same month on May 28 as NFL Madden Football (NFL マッデン フットボール, NFL Madden Futtobōru).[1] The 3DO officially launched throughout Europe in June 1994 with John Madden Football being one of 34 titles initially available for the console there.[3] Initial sales were greater than expected for the region[4] with 3DO European marketing manager Chris Thompson commenting, "Who would have thought it would be such a huge success in Europe?"[5]
In 1995, Atari Corporation struck a deal with Electronic Arts to bring select titles to the Atari Jaguar CD,[6] with John Madden Football among them but this version was never released due to the commercial and critical failure of the Atari Jaguar platform.[7]
