killthenet Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Seems like the first Unravel is a good shout for one of those, given the leaked rating. Mass Effect Trilogy seems likely too, that's certainly one they could charge full price for.
Ganepark32 Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 I'd wager that at least one of the other titles coming to the Switch from EA will be one last throw of the dice on another legacy edition of Fifa (in other words a roster and kit update with nothing more). Beyond that, I'd think they'll be looking to release more of their EA Originals titles that haven't made the jump. So things like the original Unravel, perhaps A Way Out and maybe Sea of Solitude and whatever else they've got coming along. That EA HD title is more interesting however. It being a remaster doesn't give much away but I wonder whether it'll be an older title from the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era as opposed to something from the 360/PS3 era. People have been asking for SSX 3 for ages so I could see it being that. Likewise, I'd guess releasing Burnout Paradise ended up being somewhat successful so bringing up other Burnout titles would be a no brainer. Those are the two older ones I'd guess. They also have things like Black, which would be a major outsider but could be interesting to bring forward, and they also did The Simpson's Road Rage. While that's not Hit and Run, I could see EA looking at that game as a quick cash grab for those wanting something Hit and Run-esque, especially with the license rights to that game being up in the air somewhat. I'd love it to be the Mass Effect Trilogy but I was listening to the Play, Watch, Listen podcast at the weekend (Alanah Pearce's new podcast with Troy Baker, Mike Bithell and Austin Wintory, well worth checking out) and as Alanah said on that, the reason I don't see it happening is that what studio at EA would work on it. There's a lot of work to get the game ported over to current game consoles, not least with ME1 which was an early Unreal 3 game that shows its age badly. Nevermind adding the DLC to the package (this EA after all, I wouldn't put it past them to make people pay for the DLC once again rather than put it in as a complete trilogy edition). Unless they've been working on it for a couple of years and have multiple studios on it, I sadly don't see them doing it. Curious what it'll be though. Guess we'll find out on atbrheir digital EA Play on June 11th.
Tim B Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) My brother is trying to locate a Switch for my niece for her birthday at the end of the month. Has anyone had any experience of buying one recently, or know someone who has? It probably will be very tricky to find one, but it's worth a try. Edited May 6, 2020 by Tim B
Hero-of-Time Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 Looks like that EA HD remaster/remake game is gonna be the Mass Effect Trilogy. The article mentions that Apex Legends is a good shout for being one of the games EA are bringing to Switch. 1 2

Hero-of-Time Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Impressive numbers all around. Software numbers are ridiculously high across the board. It's just a shame things like Pokemon Sword and Shield and Super Mario Party have massively outsold most of the better entries in these franchises.

Crazy.

The Switch making it to 55.77 million units sold (including Lite) and having sold 21.03 million units in the last FY is really impressive. It's what, 25 million units or so behind the 3DS family now, and has managed to beat out it's game sales in around a third of the time it took the 3DS to get to its current point? Great news. 57 minutes ago, Hero-of-Time said: Impressive numbers all around. Software numbers are ridiculously high across the board.

Seriously, I couldn't think of a game as undeserving to have sold as well as it has as Pokémon Sword and Shield. Even for those who enjoyed it, it's hard to not admit that it's a step down from the best Pokémon games (a decline we've been on for a while). 58 minutes ago, Kav said: While that's extremely impressive, and would've made it there regardless at some point...not to detract from the feat at all, it needs to be mentioned how Pokémon and Animal Crossing didn't have main series titles released on the Wii U. They're two of Nintendo's largest IPs, after all. As abysmally as that console sold, a main series Pokémon game would have bumped sales of that console by a sizeable amount. 1

Ronnie Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 As usual, hugely impressive numbers. Wonder if they can reach 100 million Switches lifetime. 6.6 million for NSMBU*breathes*DX shows there's still a big market for 2D Mario. 1 hour ago, Julius said: 48.5% of all Switch games were sold Digitally Wow, so all those Nintendo games in NPD charts, add another 48.5% sales on top of that.

They seem to come back into stock and then sell out very quickly. I know Shopto will tweet when they've got stock, I think it's going to be a case of setup alerts wherever possible and hope for the best. 1
Ashley Posted May 9, 2020 Author Posted May 9, 2020 Urgh the keyboard next word thing is terrible. Why doesn't it put a space after each word by default? Why does Y append the highlighted word to the last rather than do a space? 2
Glen-i Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Quote Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX has sold 1.26M Copies That's a strong start, almost better than the 3DS entries. We'll have to see whether it can actually top the original versions 5.85 million. That'd be mad. Also agree with @Hero-of-Time's sentiment that Pokémon SW/SH doesn't deserve to batter so many better entries. Just a case of right place, right time, I suppose. It's still the best Pokémon game since Black 2/White 2 though. 1

It's not like it's used all that much (and AC has its own version and perhaps other games do) so I can't imagine Nintendo giving it much thought.

drahkon Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. It's actually what's keeping me from uploading more videos/screenshots to Twitter. Writing a text is such a pain and I have no idea why Nintendo is so inept in certain areas. Edited May 9, 2020 by drahkon
Sméagol Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 It's also annoying if you don't use it. If you delete a letter and type new stuff, and want to move your cursor around, it forces you to choose a word first before you are even able to.
drahkon Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Hey, we gotta cut Nintendo some slack. Smartphones that use better typing features have been around for only 10 years. 1
