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. 

I don't really care if EA succeeds on Switch, its just not my concern. However, I don't think EA makes a lot of content that could thrive on Switch.

If EA was interested in creating the "creative" experiences you want I'm sure they could find the talent for that. But its probably a risky endeaver they aren't interested in and they already do well with their current sytle of games. But those games don't have much of an audience on Switch.

I think what's happening here is you're bitter that EA has a lot of money and they aren't investing it in games Switch owners want.

Rocketleague is the type of game that seems viable on a Nintedo platform. Doom and Wolfenstein are really Bethesda testing the platform.

You seem to think Nintendo being an outlier is some sort of insult to the audience and platform. Yet you admit taste of Nintendo users is different than other platforms. Hence, you agree its an outlier.
