I'm all for more 3rd party support, but EA is literally a trash factory. Like, not a single passable game in almost a decade, and they're on the forefront of most of gaming's anti-consumer trends. Only mouthbreathers are still supporting them in the year of our Lord 2017. If they fucked off, nothing of value would be lost.

EA never supports Nintendo consoles for more than 6 months to a year tops. Fifa will under perform and that will be jt

As you can see in this thread, Nintendogs act like they don't give a fuck about any kind of 3rd party on their shitty system anyway, so I don't understand why you still feel the need to shit on EA. Enjoy your Neo Geo ports and one exclusive game every fourth month, I guess.

EA's "support" for the Wii U was one of the biggest example of sabotage I've ever seen.

>>387133956
>Older version because the switch has severally outdated hardware?
cause EA's FB engine dont have native support for ARM arch, so it was easier to use the PS360 engines

you faggots talk as if Sports game were some sort of technical marvel that needed i9 and 1080 TITAN to run

This is the same bullshit Ccapcom pulled with Resident Evil on the Wii.

They said they'd consider making proper Resident Evil games on Wii if Umbrella Chronicles sold well. It went way above sales expectations, and Capcom responded with...Darkside Chronicles. When that sold like piss Capcom wagged its finger and decides nobody wants new RE games on the Wii.

FIFA sold on Wii U and Vita, both of which were flops. People keep saying "everyone already owns PS and Xbox" which isn't true at all. If that was the case Playstation would stop selling. That's not to mention the obvious fact none of the other consoles aren't handhelds.

>>387134963
And in the real world, people go to the bar to watch football on the telly.

>>387132425
you need normies to buy games for the console to succeed and have a long life time anon
publishers aren't happy with just core gamers anymore

>>387135207
And normies buy Mario

>>387135127
My point is that people buy a PS4 to play FIFA
What normalfag would buy a Switch for FIFA? Sure the portability is great, but do FIFA fags care about that?

>>387135268
Normies buy Mario *if it's on a console they already own.

>>387135321
And normies own Nintendo.

Your argument is retarded. FIFA sells well on everything.

Except on Nintendo.

>>387135393

>>387135501
See above.
>Who said anything about buying a Switch for FIFA?
That's the point. This FIFA port is a game for Switch owners, aka people who bought a Switch for other games, aka Nintendo games.
Meanwhile people buy PS4s and Xbones all the time only to play muh sport games on it.
How many people
>are FIFA fans

Nintendo has a monopoly and EA practically owns the football games market. Saying FIFA doesn't sell well is like saying Pokemon doesn't sell well.

>>387135749
Show the sales numbers of FIFA on Wii U and 3DS then.

>EA porting entirely dependant on a game no Nintendo fans are really going to buy
fuck sake, what a shit game to test with

>>387135851
What EA game will Nintendo fans buy?

>>387135982
Dead Space with Metroid amiibo compatibility to unlock costumes

>>387135982
Try one of the Sim City games or something.

>>387135982
Sims 4 would be a good fit, honestly, and I don't even like Sims.

The Switch has a touchscreen, it'd be perfect.

Burnout 1/2/3 HD Collection

>>387132371
You ever wonder why FIFA always tops PS4 sales charts? Its because of Europe its doomed to fail, PS4 outsells the switch over there.

>>387136357
I would kill for this. Hell, third party devs could just shit out ports and remasters of 7th gen games and I bet lots of people would buy them, even just for the portability.

>>387136356
Since it was a flop and EA completely ignored it? Yeah, I do. The Switch version is the full version so comparing it to the old titles is just disingenuous. EA might be a shitty company but this version isn't a lazy port. Their argument boils down to "it didn't sell well in the past so it won't now either" but there's never been a real FIFA game on a portable like this. Even the Vita versions were terrible.

>>387136514
Ask yourself this
WHY was there never a full FIFA game on Nintendo consoles?

>>387136643
Wii was weak, Wii U was a flop, 3DS was extremely weak for a game like FIFA. 3DS didn't even have proper controls for a football game. Your point?

>>387133892
>no dlc

is that really an argument?


say it with me FULL CIRCLE

>>387132371
It doesn't use impact, its an engine based on ignite.

And the issue with Frostbite is that only DICE has really mastered it and its quite inefficient. Combine that with a platform that has a portable component and you get a mess.

>>387132371
I know EA is bad, but I didn't think they were THIS bad
Now they're just being too obvious about it

>>387136374
>Its because of Europe its doomed to fail, PS4 outsells the switch over there.
Only because of FIFA. A portable FIFA could bridge the gap, especially if Nintendo makes use of all the FIFA players that currently own a Switch for heavy marketing.

>>387135982
Henry hatsworth

>>387132536
I think we're reaching the point where the big Nintendo titles (Like Zelda and Xenoblade 2) are clearly way more impressive technically than the competition.

I don't think people are going to keep buying that Nintendo is the problem in this situation.

>>387136834
They would have made the effort if they thought it was worth it.

Jesus, are they even trying to hide how shitty of a company they are?

Isn't it amazing how these third parties constantly have to re-release these ''''''test'''' games for Nintendo platforms, that clearly have missing features from other versions of the game? And then how these companies blame Nintendo fans for not buying them? And isn't it funny how this NEVER HAPPENS with Playstation or Xbox?

I think we, as Nintendo fans, need to put out foot down on this kind of attitude. Third parties need to #MakeTheSwitch to focus on creating compelling software for Switch.

People buy FIFA and game like that on PS4 because all their friends do the same. Now, how many FIFA fans 1. have a Switch, 2. have friends with a Switch 3. Don't already have a PS4 to buy FIFA on?

>>387137427
So how can you say that FIFA sells well everywhere when what you actually mean is 'FIFA sells well on Playstation and Xbox only (and maybe PC)'

>>387137496
Sure, because of motion controls. Not great for football games.
>>387137572
Because having to add "lazy ports and roster updates and selling them at full price" takes too much time. Like I said before, comparing the Switch version to 240p roster updates is disingenuous.

>>387137704
So, again, where does FIFA sell well?

At this point, all Playstation and Xbox have going for them are established third party brands like Fifa. Even huge AAA franchises like Mass Effect and the Last of Us are going downhill. I would be VERY surprised if TLOU Part II did not have some hamfisted political message that alienates it's core fanbase.

>>387137205
Do you have any friends? Most people have no idea what a Zelda or a Xenoblade is, and if they do they're not buying a console just to play it. But portable Fifa? Normies love Fifa.

>>387132371
They're using it as a scapegoat since their deal with FIFA stipulates they HAVE to put the game on every major platform.

Nintendo most likely still won't allow EA to force Origin downthe throats of their users, so EA doesn't want to play ball.

Haha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

>>387135321
>What normalfag would buy a Switch for FIFA?

They don't have to. The people that only own a Switch might want to play FIFA regardless of their power level.

>>387132371

Even if EA poured money into the port and did an excellent job, no one would buy the game anyway. So why bother.
