Yes, decrease sales.

When people walk into a store and see an EA game bundled with Nintendo hardware, they'll instantly think that Nintendo makes no good games anymore.

Riccitelo:We have with Nintendo an unprecedent partnership and will contribute nothing to this console only a rehash of a successful game with an engine from 6 years ago

Despite Nintendo fans disliking EA, I am getting FIFA. Sorry, it's me of the best 3rd party franchises out there.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Game is too demanding for the switch.

They would probably have to spend alot to get a port to work decently, and it would be running a really gimpy version that then wouldnt sell well (due to it being the gimpy version).

Unless they show something big other than FIFA, don't expect something other than an "unprecedented partnership" with them. Specially since they have an excuse to fill the thing with PS360 ports of their games, and they are just porting FIFA.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

MS has had that locked to help them in Europe. If anyone would want that its Sony.

Nintendo should bundle Mario Kart but we probably won't see that until the holiday.

Oh, if they made a real effort I bet this game could work well on 7th gen specs. Maybe it would look like Mass Effect 3. The real problem is it just isn't worth the effort.

Its a shame Switch didn't get ports of late 7th gen games like MGSV or RotTR. Switch could certainly run those 360 versions with more polish. Its got the power to run core games but lacks the support. Even some old CoD games would be nice.

People might argue the Switch doesn't need ports of old games, but Skyrim is getting a lot of attention.

I remember Fifa 13 on wii u, it was a cut down version inferior to the 360 and PS3 versions. The Switch version will probably be the android version without ingame transactions. The chance of EA developing a version from the ground up exploiting all the features of the Switch is remote to say the least.
