Again, it sound like you're just upset Switch isn't getting the support you want from EA.

If NIntendo owners want creative games, that's absolutely fine. Those kind of experiences are what Nintendo creates and has generally worked out well for them.

EA on the otherhand has found great success creating the types of experiences you seem to be critical of. Meanwhile those types of games are doing well on Playstation, Xbox, PC, and mobile devices. Essentially the only mainstream outlier is Nintendo.

If EA isn't gonna take advantage of the Switch audience, its their loss right? Either way, I think they're doing fine not worrying about the Switch audience as well. So just be glad if they give Switch any support and even a game like Fifa adds variety to Switch's overall modest library.


You're sending mixed signals. Either you want them to succeed on the Switch or you don't. Also, what experiences am I being critical of? I said they excel at sims and Dice and Bioware will do the rest of the work because EA as a publisher isnt very creative. Anyone can have a chance to step outside of the box.

Do you mean to tell me that only Nintendo is capable of creating creative games? You must've missed out on the DS or the Wii. Ubisoft has found a spot with in the hearts of Nintendo gamers with Mario + Rabbids and Just Dance, while Square Enix has found many games in the traditional Final Fantasy tactics and Bravely Default games over the years. 

If EA cannot figure out the Nintendo audience, its obviously means its their own problem. Nintendo is not a mainstream outlier, which is why Doom, Rocketleague are coming over. If the game can work than port something that works. As I said, Plants vs Zombies is the perfect test game for the Nintendo crowd.

If Doom and Wolfenstein don't do well, expect Bethesda to give up. Same with other third parties.  As you said, PvZ would probably do well.
