    The Wii sold stupidly well but it didn't stop 3rd parties from shunning it. 

    3rd parties are still in a position of having to faff on with their games in order to get them to run on the hardware. Stuff like Doom and Rocket League run on the Switch but not without compromises. It has to be worth it for the company while also giving the consumer a decent product.

     I imagine ports from the 360/PS3 generation will be on the cards but I can't see many publishers trying to downgrade their newer games in order for the Switch to run them. 

    Japanese support should be fine though. A lot of the big publishers over there don't really push hardware to its limits, with S-E being the exception, so most games should look and run fine.

    Regarding the Wii. Yeah it sold lots but the demographics of that system is why 3rd parties stayed away and then let's be honest. The Wii was a really weak machine compared to the 360.

    Porting 360 games to Wii just wasn't really viable. 


  2. Glad to her zen working on a patch for 60fps undocked. Also docked isn't 1080p at the moment

    Tried pinball FX again today undocked and coming from stern pinball i can't play it. Stern performance much better.

    Problem is someone on resetera who claims to be in the know says the jump to 32gb exceeds $20 so the added cost of the game isn't necessarily covering the cost of an bigger cart size. Cart, packaging, licensing fees are too much of a cost to the publisher to put the games on 32gb carts right now. 

    Going forward I really think this issue needs to be looked at by Nintendo. If that means eating the cost to the publisher until cart sizes come down then maybe that's what's required. AAA titles are large and buying physical copies and then needing to download huge files is simply not good enough. 

    A 128gb SD card really wouldn't last long with the download data we are seeing with the AAA games even if you buy physical versions. 

    Problem is nintendo want third party support as they make a cut off the software. Once Nintendo start eating third parties costs it kinda defeats the objective.

    Nothing arrived, no email, nothing. Ended up popping out to Argos and buying it. Going by twitter I'm not the only one.

    Don't Nintendo use the same people who were part of the hut group. For that reason alone I have never ordered one thing from Nintendo UK. 

    No way you can rely on them getting things done correctly.

    Tactical defending is the worst thing to ever happen to Fifa. Probably the worst thing to be implanted into any game I’ve ever played. And it’s an absolute abomination it makes you use it online. EA are the biggest cunts in the industry for many many reasons. This being the biggest. 

    To be fair. Legacy defending is pretty much Garbage. From what i remember of playing FIFA before I gave up on the series. Legacy defending online was full of pressure spammers. Every time you got the ball you had 3 players like a cannonball all over you.

    What EA should do is hard code semi-assisted controls at a bare minimum. Playing online against people who use full on assisted controls is unfair. 

    Then trying to find games with people who use semi-assisted or Manual controls is like gold dust.

    Media Create sales figures for last week are out and FIFA sold 55,000 on PS4 to 12,000 on Switch. That seems pretty good to me to sell a fifth of what the PS4 version sold, definitely better than the initial sales for the UK. Will be interesting to see what next week's sales are like.

    And remember this is how bad FIFA 13 sold on Wii U

    [WIU] FIFA 13 <SPT> (Electronic Arts) {2012.12.08} (¥7.300) - 1.510

    I think the PS4 version of FIFA 15 did about 16,000 in first week.

    its all about growing a new audience on the switch.


  7. Guys what's it like playing the CPU? Anyone started career mode? Any viarety in the teams or does the CPU just feel the same but in different shirts?

    Any individuality in the players?

    Does anyone play with manual controls or do you use the assists?


  8. There will be no sales in Germany. Physical copies stuck in customs. EA could have shot themselves in the foot now reviews and people's impressions are out.

    The lack of online with friends could really turn people away from the game

    Regardless though, personally I wouldn't be buying it even if it had all features and modes. FIFA just doesn't play like an actual football match.

    NBA 2K18 is gonna be my switch sports fix

    I know you can really use both if you wish (normally for emphasising the individuals that make up the plural) but Microsoft has.  Just one of those things that gets under my skin.  Aaaaanyway.

    And for what its worth, I can't see MS leaving the landscape anytime soon and I hope they don't.  They bring some nice variation to the table.  Not all of it successful, but hats off for trying.

    I second this. Loved my 360 and even though I skipped the one I think it would be a damn shame is MS left the arena.

    Luckily like you I can't see that happening any time soon.
