@BruceCM Interesting you should mention that, I do seemingly overnight been given a new job at EA. I just woke up with a brand new job in charge of... *checks notes... “Surprise Mechanics Department”. You’ll be surprised what surprises we have in store to surprise you with. Surprise!

@jump You missed the part where EA says “unfortunately most the players were taken ill due to the virus, however you can speed up their recovery by purchasing in game medical care.”
There's also the new option of in game in purchases to avoid furloughing the commentators for when you're playing and in game purchases to invest in WHO to avoid the Euros and Champions Leagued being cancelled.
There's never been so many new features to the Switch version of FIFA!
@Reprise Considering it's focusing on third party Switch games that have already been announced, it makes sense that it's that short... There aren't exactly a lot of them.

That’s not all! By purchasing the deluxe edition, you will be given access to EA’s new gold members credit card to buy all these in game purchases. The interest is incredibly low rate of 98.9% APR.

@BenAV Yeah, I guess... I just kinda think - and feel free to call me pessimistic and negative - but what's the point then? Just let the publishers and developers do their own thing. The team working on Crysis Remastered have managed to do their own trailers and marketing. We don't need mini directs for it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re doing these small directs as a series so they can better space out announcements with more control due to the uncertainty brought in by the pandemic. Basically instead of just having a large singular direct every 4+ months that covers a big time period, they’ll spread the announcements out and keep them closer to the release of the actual game. Like a mini direct every 2 months or so that features what games are coming in the very near future. Similar to what they did with Paper Mario. Actually I wouldn’t be surprised if Origami King was them testing that model out.
Makes it so they don’t have to commit entirely until they can be completely confident it will release and a series of mini directs keeps Nintendo in the mind of consumers more consistently.

I think you could be right, the only problem is this year, if this mini doesn't have any Nintendo announcements (which seems certain) then can they wait 2 months to tell people about 1st party games?
