Fifa Switch will be reportedly based off the PS3/360 versions
- Thread starter Poetic.Injustice
- Start date
I really want the Switch to succeed, I genuinely really do. I have the Wii U and really liked the system, but it was quickly delegated to the system to play first party Nintendo games on.
EA just isn't even trying anymore with the Nintendo brand, it is pretty disappointing. Other publishers will look at EA and might even follow their lead. If I understand correctly, EA not porting the Frostbite engine over basically means any future EA titles will be nonexistent on the Switch.

Are they rumors or just dreams?
Erhm yeah? Its not like skyrim remastered is any technical masterpiece ,if it wasnt gonna look like that then why lie in Switch reveal video show that as gameplay(aka lie?)
I have to watch/play some last gen skyrim to do fully compare but doubt.

To be fair them games running UE4 so can be scaled down like the SMT game

Skyrim will be the Gameboy Color version.
These posts are always ridiculous.
As if EA or any other third party wouldn't want another console to release their games on and profit off of.
Then the ridiculous notion that EA puts this out just so they can say 'We told you guys, its just not working', as if they are obligated to release their games on a Nintendo platform if they truly didn't want to.

You had some people drinking the Twitter insider koolaid and convinced that the Switch would be able to pull off at least Xbox One level visuals, so yes.

Ice cold.
But deserving if this all holds true at the end of the day. Next thing you know, their Ezio Collection will be based on the PS3 version from years back.
new news, new thread.

Well, MS knows that portable Minecraft will print money.
Only idiots ever expected a serious effort from EA. They are meeting the contractual obligation that says Fifa must be on basically everything.
Why put the effort into Frostbite version if you are just doing what needs to be done to keep Fifa happy. If they intended to bring a wide range of Frostbite titles then they would work with that

If it's a good port more than 10 people would care about it in the UK. It could even be a system seller.
It wasn't and mods closed that thread iirc.
They might if switch quickly sells 20 million units, but otherwise they won't bother.

Could be worse, remember that year they stopped porting PS2 FIFA to Wii and made one instead?

It doesn't mean much at the moment.
The nes classic is sold out but that's just low distribution
Didn't Wii U sell out at launch as well as 3DS.
Once Nintendo can stock the system more and the launch period is over this thing will flop so hard unless Nintendo drastically drop the price and change some things. Which I expect will happen if it sells bad as Nintendo can't afford another flop.
Solid 60 fps on the Switch? heh heh, even Mario Kart will be 59 fps
than Nintendo should have subsidised porting it. Anything to get the western third parties on board.
No Frostbite means no EA modern support at all. Beyond pathetic.

That doesn't mean anything without knowing how many copies that retailer has.
Yep FIFA is huge in the UK
If this was the full version of FIFA that you can play portable with the addition of portable local multiplayer this could have been big with a Switch bundle price drop for holidays.
It's a shame this is based on the PS3 version as FIFA fans would be put off.

Fair enough. Seems like you had to have some delusions of grandeur.
I'll probably pick up the Switch versions of FIFA and NBA just because I can play on the go and take multiplayer over to a friend's house who doesn't own any consoles. I understand the desire for state of the art visuals but I don't think they really revolutionized the gameplay experience moving from PS360 to current gen. The games play nearly the same. I say that as a huge fan of NBA and NHL games.
there is about 8-10 million hardcore nintendo fans that will buy whatever nintendo puts out so of course it is going to sell out initially after the nes fiasco. this is going to sell somewhere between 3ds and wiiu ltd sales and that is technically a failure in the long run
