I hope Rocket League outsells FIFA 18 on Switch, maybe then they'll realise Switch players don't want a downgraded port.

Then Nintendo should stop making considerably weaker hardware than those where those games are build for.

In your magical dream world, you can obviously house XBone or PS4 hardware within a tablet? I swear people deliberately forget that Switch is a handheld; or at least a hybrid.

In the interview she clearly stated that "it isn't at all related to technology".

My magical dream world? And where the fuck I said something like that? Don't make assumptions, specially being that rude.

He wants Nintendo to not get downgraded ports compared to consoles, then ask for Nintendo to do similar hardware to those, that's about it.

BraLoD couldn't have said it better myself. Can't complain about Nintendo getting downgraded ports when your system is considerably weaker. Weaker systems get weaker ports

People were doing that with Wii u and we saw how well those games sold

They were?

No, this doesn't work if you release one old port or something. The players that like EA-portfolio will get a console, if itgets all or most games, not if it gets one old port. There measure in a lot of expectations though. Players at this point expect to have all EA-games on Sony and no serious EA-support on Nintendo. But generally: if they release major parts of their portfolio, many gamers will lose their doubts.

Speaking of expectations: based on their stellar support of the 3DS I expected more from Atlus for Switch than this one SMT-announcement. If they not reinforce the trust of the gamers somewhere down the line, Atlus might lose potential on the Switch.

But EA has nothing to gain by splitting their fanbase. Heck, the ideal situation for EA would be if everyone who bought there games were on the same console - that way they could lower developing costs.

It doesn't make sense to release multiple games for a system, if all it does is move the already existing fanbase from one platform to the other, while at the same time costing more to develop. For it to make sense for EA, there has to be potential to expand the fanbase substantially enough.

Man no matter what third parties just don't like it.

This is why the Switch could never be my gaming platform of choice (out of PC/PS4/XB1/NS) if I had to pick only one.

Yep then they just don't release games for Switch because their biggest franchise didn't do well.

It's far less powerful than PS4/XB1 and a solar system away from PS4P/XBX, there's no such thing as a port that isn't 'downgraded' for Switch.

Very lukewarm. They really were just dipping their toes.

And Sony nixin cross-platform play is really due to "safety concerns"...

I've been dying--DYING for competent versions of games like wrestling that I can take with me to work. That's all I want. A return to the PSP days. If they make it, I'll buy it.

You hear me, EA? I'LL BUY IT!!

Wrestling games are made by 2k games though aren't they? I don't think EA have anything to do with that. It's Take 2 interactive which are the crowd behind GTA,.... so yeah... very unlikely to head to the Switch methinks.

I could be completely wrong on that btw now, I'm just thinking that the games are called WWE 2k16 and such, could be just wrongmania
