Still that wasn't about it being Switch or WiiU, but about EA hating Nintendo and just releasing because they were mandated.

Well I never bought into that but I didn't think it would sell enough. And it certainly sold below potential due to the gutted features and non existent promotion for the Switch version (they didn't even have a trailer and gameplay screens on the eshop page). But apparently sold just enough. But this is the NBA2k thread so not sure why you brought it up :P Hopefully Fifa is at least more feature complete than last time and hopefully 2K19 can actually launch on time physically. |
Yes, it probably sold enough to be a profitable port even if just being a lot lower than PS4/X1. Fifa was mentioned on OP and NBA2K is also released by EA.

Over a year later, I'm still waiting for a first Madden game on Switch (the biggest sport in Nintendo's biggest territory). It's not a conspiracy. It's just expectation of EA to make crappy decisions. As far as the op goes, I'm very glad to hear it. My friends and I get together and play a franchise together in NBA2K18 on Switch every week. I work with one of them, so getting to continue our season on lunch break is awesome. Very good to hear that its getting a next installment. |
Yes sure, EA doesn't launch a game on Switch because they want to lose money and love crappy decisions.
