Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mass Effect Producer Says There's No Plan to Bring Mass Effect Andromeda to Switch

The switch is already dead because Nintendo repeats all of the Wii-U problems.

Extremely weak hardware
No real 3rd party support, mostly ports of Android games
Stupid design with an expensive tablet controller again which you cannot actually use when playing on TV.

The system is no real mobile gaming system because it only lasts for 3 hours. And it is no real console because it uses weak mobile gaming hardware.

All depends of the Switch popularity, if it gets momentum and  they see a good oportunity on Switch you can bet it will be a certain yes.

Yeah it does, if the Switch is a very strong success you may see EA testing the waters with a Mass Effect release to see how it performs on the system.

You know nothing about Switch, wait for the 12 of this month before making assumptions.

It's possible this is P.R N.D.E

If they are still sour about the Wii U, you launched just a third version while the other consoles got a complete collection. You are idiots for thinking that could do well



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

You seem awfully confident in its failure.

What would you do differently, and why?



If the Switch's graphical capabilities are only 400 GFLOPS then its performance is going to lag just as far behind the PS4Pro and Scorpio than the Wii U did PS4 and XOne. It doesn't matter how easily developers can port games to the Switch, massive graphical sacrifices will need to be made for the game to run on the Switch. No developer who spends a Hollywood movie budget on the graphics of their AAA game wants to see their game get butchered visually. Yes, 3rd party developers did support the Wii despite its hardware, but that was only because the Wii had such a massive user base that developers had to force themselves to give the console its due. They abandoned the Wii U the second they saw that it wasn't going to be another hit and same can easily happen with the Switch.

It would have been much better if Nintendo had given the Switch enough power to compete graphically with the XOne. That way, the combined user base of the XOne and the Switch could have always been enough to justify a graphical downgrade regardless of how popular the Switch was. There is no way now that they are going to make a special version just for the Switch unless the Switch sells quite well. I hope that Nintendo has something up their sleeve for making the Switch popular on its own.

?????????????????????????????????????????????

 

You came from the future? Has flying cars too?????



Well is not a surprise , Nintendo is single fighter when battling against other competitor with their good first party line up. It's like a curses, while having a great first party line up, they are lacking on third party line up.
