NuFX, Inc. was a development company in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, near Chicago, founded by Lou Haehn and Patrick Quinn. [1] It was incorporated on March 9, 1990. (Illinois records) After a long relationship with Electronic Arts, NuFX was acquired by the game giant in February 2004 [2] and then "kind of merged" [3] with EA Canada's Fight Night team to form EA Chicago.
