I agree with EA a FIFA NX bundle will do very good in Europe.

There are times where I'm indifferent with EA and then there are times I just dislike them for the shit they pull. This whole deal they have going with Nintendo means Nintendo needs to completely play submissively and just do what EA tells them to do, not exactly the best idea considering shit can go south so easily. I actually want to be that guy though that watches the planets and stars align, where Nintendo breaks their back for EA and does everything within their power, where they blow chunks upon chunks of cash to market someone's games who never gave a shit about them for years and then watch it all go South, then I can point to those folk who want EA to be the end all to be all to Nintendo and go "told you so".
I'll be blunt, I've seen Nintendo keep IP's alive much, much longer than EA while EA on the other hand has managed to fuck up quite the studios and franchises to a point where they have but a few action titles and the rest being sports (no RTS, no Sim City, no actual PC exclusives to market from their end). Even though Nintendo suck at advertising some games, I still trust them a lot more with an IP than I would the likes of EA, especially since one side keeps a show running while the other asks you to keep footing their bill while not 100% guaranteeing absolute results. I'd rather see EA actually put a bit more effort in from their end than simply giving the demands.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
Of course EA want cross promotions on their sports games because otherwise they would not sell on their own merit.
2KSports over the last couple console generations for me has made much better sports games. I don't even buy EA sports anymore.
Conclusion, Nintendo shoudl bundle 2k Sports games instead lol (assuming they can get them onboard).
I would love to see sports game on NX, not only because I like them but because they can help with sales.
Well this is unprecedented partnership, part 2.
Darwinianevolution said: The EA sports games are some of the most well knows franchises in the world. If a console manufacturer decides not to advertise those games on their console, is it really worth stop the support and lose all the potential sales? People only need to know the game is avalible on their console, that's the one thing it needs to sell. |
That's clearly not the case. Bundles give the consoles an identity. When Nintendo consoles are never bundled with sports games, but Sony and Microsoft consoles always are, Nintendo gains the identity of not being the place to play sports games. EA has a point.

This thread is based of rumors and predictions. Just because Tamaki says it doesn't mean it's confirmed.
So... this is apparently only about EA Sports right? Not that exciting since they support almost everything already and even tried something with Wii U. It'd be more interesting if they were considering trying stuff like Mass Effect Andromeda or the next Battlefront.
Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
Say what you will about EA, but they basically hit the nail on the head with this one. It really is crazy how much Nintendo dropped the ball by not giving the Wii U the ability to stream pro games with MLB.tv, NBA Live Streaming, etc. The Wii U is pretty much the only current device on the market that doesn't have that functionality.
Nintendo needs to pucker up, not just with ea. Third parties are important for sucess with the general public, despite what many deniers would have you beleive
