Fifa wasn't a late port. It couldn't have released earlier because there was no Wii U earlier. The same with FIFA on PS4 and Xbone at launch who was also "late" by that standard.
NFS was a remaster practically. People bought remasters on PS4 and Xbone. Even even only 9 months after the original game.
Yes, EA also did some dumb moves, like Mass Effect port, but there was also no market for their games on Wii U. EA didn't blame anybody. EA analysed the situation and took appropriate action.

FIFA, not Madden. Oh, also I could see PvZ.

You seem awfully confident that there would be no market for it based on no data, and that Disney would be fine just being told there is no market based on that very same no data.

I'm expecting Mirror's Edge Catalyst.
Just so EA can say to Nintendo... "look, it's a game; now stop pestering us already".
You didn't follow the discussion. It all started with this post. So no, I'm not confident that there will be no market on Switch. I actually hope there will be one. I like the idea of playing 3rd party games on the go. But I'm pretty confident that EA didn't already make a decision to port a game that's coming in Fall 2017.

I hope it's FIFA. I haven't played the last 3 but I'll buy a portable version as long as it's not stripped down.
Also I'm pretty sure they did a FIFA 3ds port at one point. Maybe they also did Madden though, not sure

FIFA being local multi player with multiple Switch screens and being portable will help

I guess it depends on if you think Star Wars Battlefront has sold what it has because it is first and foremost a Star Wars game, or a Battlefront one.
If you believe the former, the only way to assess the market for Star Wars games is to actually release Star Wars games. I'm pretty sure Disney believe its success is down to the Star Wars brand. I know I do.
If you believe it's a Battlefront game first and foremost, and Star Wars is just the gravy on what would otherwise have been amazing sales even with EAs own iconic characters and environments, then okay.

Fifa. Even Vita got a couple.

"One of their bigger games" screams either Battlefield, Star Wars or FIFA, but going with the Switch's reveal trailer alone, we're inclined to believe it's FIFA 17 with some on-the-go features.
Would be surprising if BF1 ends up being on Switch.

It's still a very traditional (mostly) multiplayer shooter. The first one was not even a great shooter in my experience. The shooter market is still huge enough to drive those sales.
How Star Wars fans who don't like shooters do you think are buying Battlefront? Those people are more likely to buy Lego Star Wars or upcoming adventure Star Wars games, but those are farther in the future.
And there is no guarantee that Nintendo still has the Star Wars fans audience that much, with no real Star Wars game here in the recent years.
Can't say I'm excited to see FIFA, knowing it will control worse than the PES games on Wii many years ago. How are their NHL games these days?
Other than that, I'd probably buy Battlefield but not sure how well that controls on a dual analog setup...
Yeah, don't even bother EA, we don't care anymore.

Based on their Wii U support, it'll be 1 half-assed port of a game every other system has had for at least a year and a half released within weeks of these other systems getting an enhanced port as part of a compilation, and at a lower price. Then no further games because they used the game they sent to die as an excuse for not supporting the system.
Who's ready for some launch-tier Star Wars: Battlefront?

Dead Space on rails.
That game was awesome.

I really hope that whatever they do bring, it won't be an absurdly late port. Even if they're empty-handed for launch.

So Fifa and I think also Star wars
Especially for MP games where you can't pause.
Death is the pause of multiplayer games.
You never experienced the "incredibly fast running to go pee when you're dead in [insert_shooter_game] and come back before the respawn" ?
Shitty console confirmed.
You know this joke had to come, sooner or later, come on

I think that image "only just" solidified in the Wii era, so yeah I'd consider 10 years relatively recently in Nintendo's big history.
Before the Wii era, even though they had a lot of kid-friendly IPs, they weren't inferior to the "mature segment" that Sony and Microsoft have kept building on gen 6 and onwards.

It's just Madden, guys.

What recent Ea games don't run of Frostbite?

Tantalus has worked with EA on the Mass Effect 3 port. They teased they are working on a port, so it might be Andromeda. Testing a simultaneous release would be a better indicator of the market than late ports, which is the only thing EA did on the Wii U.
It's already clarified that it's mostly likely not Andromeda.

Well, *cough and gets the trailer voice* Now you don't need to sacrifice your future health for short term gains. Switch the way you play games and pee. Once you feel the need, take Switch out of the dock and continue playing while maintaining a healthy body. *drop mic and cut out to shooting noises coming behind a toilet door*

They've had the "kiddy" stigma ever since the Mortal Kombat debacle on the SNES, really. Even though they had some adult/mature-oriented games on the N64, GC and Wii, they were still thought of as the kiddy/family alternative to Sony and MS.
i see people say this a lot and I can't tell if it's irony, or if Nintendo fans don't eat enough fibre.
I'm aware that it was a joke on this occasion!

Unravel? I think pretty much every EA game uses Frostbite.
