EA Sports hosted a party at Marquee -- a trendy Manhattan night club -- last night for the release of NCAA Football '09.

Several college football stars in town for the draft attended the party, including cover boy Matt Ryan (pictured), Arkansas running back Darren McFadden (interview here), West Virginia fullback Owen Schmitt, California WR/KR DeSean Jackson, and #1 overall draft pick Jake Long.

The release also included a full demonstration of the game on large flatscreen TVs, an upstairs lounge dedicated to press interviews, and -- most importantly -- free drinks! Huzzah!

All the prospective draftees got face time on stage after the game was introduced.

I'm thrilled this game's finally hitting Wii this year. Only bad news is, I'm gonna have to trade in my Madden 07 for a copy of Madden 09 to go with it, so that "Little Lefty" can continue his career in the pros after graduation.

Will it be available on the regular old X-Box?

Sorry, Stoney, doesn't look like it. PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 and PSP only.
