No shit.

no surprise. NS when undocked is a pretty low bar of performance. it won't be getting ports of ps4/xbone AAA games,.. just the indies and middle tier.


i swear,.. nintendo is going to kill switch by marketing it as a home console that is also portable instead of a portable console that also connects to a tv. it's a small change in marketing but a huge change to consumer expectations.

This.

Sadly people only read headlines and think they know everything.

An EA published game not making it to a Nintendo console???
I'm stunned...

It's possible to put it on a potato if they really wanted to. That's the great thing about scalable engines. The thing is would it be nearly as good, or a smart idea to do, and would it be optimized for it in any way? Doubtful. A lot of devs were saying the same thing for Wii U (how it was "possible").

I'm pretty sure we can safely say that this game would NOT be possible on a Wii U. After all, the Wii U is too slow to handle the last two AssCreeds.

From your answer I get the impression that the port would barely be playable. But seriously, what is special about the gameplay in a Mass Effect game, anyway? You have this moral system and can pick dialogue choices all the time, right? What else? How demanding is the combat system, really? It's a TPS, after all, the Gamecube had those, too. I believe it's just a question of how good looking the developers want it to be, but when we see how even Wii U games already looked, I see no problem. It surely won't look like a version from the twins, but can the difference really be that big? The differences would be there, no question, but they would't make it a completely different game.

Not really surprising

Unfortunate.

Pretty expected surely? My most anticipated game!

I'll have to get a Switch eventually for Zelda, and possibly Pokemon depending on where they take the mainline series. But its pretty low down the gaming priorities list at the moment.
