@NEStalgia oh now i get it lol. I'm sorry i'm not good at getting this kind of things

I know exactly how Capcom milks franchises. Plus we sit here and cater to them because otherwise they make us wait for years. If we don't buy the revisions in between the main games then they think we don't want anymore.

Well I was talking to Octane about that, lol.
A lot of companies do it, really, look at Pokemon.

@Joeynator3000 ''Smart'' juicers already exist: Juicero. It's a $400 machine that squeezes juice bags for you. It HAS to be connected to the internet in order to work, and it sends all kinds of data back to the company. It only works with special Juicero juice bags of course. And the irony of it all is that you can squeeze those juice bags by hand as well...

It got to the point where the company had to beg their customers not to squeeze the bags manually:

WTF? xD

It's pretty ridiculous some of the devices that have updates nowadays, I do count TVs as one of those.

Welcome to 2017....
... is what I'd expect certain people on this site to say.

Nice to hear!

I just want Capcom to bring Pheonix wright to the Switch

At this point I think all versions will be hitting us now, since MH increased in popularity greatly thanks to 4U. I just hope this time they'll release 5 and a "Portable/Generations" game before a G-Rank game again. No idea why they did it another way with the 4th generation games.

Generations is an anniversary game, that doesn't really fit in the typical ''normal-to-portable-to-Ultimate" release scheme. It just happens to use 4th gen engine since it is the most recent, well received and convenient for the 3DS. Also, 4th gen is the first handheld-exclusive generation.

I woke up and found that the media misinterpreted/mistranslated a Capcom quote and people freaked out. Good old internet lol.

EA has announced their lineup for EA Play, their not-E3 E3 event.

"EA SPORTS FIFA on the Nintendo Switch"?

Did anyone honestly expect them to release anything else?

• Highlight FIFA 05 on desktop
• Right Click
• Update rosters
• Put feet up for the rest of the shift
• A reminder to self - compose email before knocking off for the day.

To EA,

EA Sports FIFA for Nintendo Switch development is complete!

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Ard Work

@DarthNocturnal To be fair, this is just the lineup of playable games at their event. It doesn't really account for anything announced in their conference. Visceral's Star Wars game for example (I would hope they announce that).

@IceClimbers I'm reading that as 'FIFA on Switch and FIFA 18 are two separate things' - so strange that the Switch version still doesn't have a number after it.. :/ ..if it's just Ultimate Team - I'm out.

This is EA hedging their bets. Their initial intention is to only release one FIFA game on Switch, assuming it'll only have moderate success (at best), so why include a number (year) when a 'FIFA 19' isn't expected to ever appear on Switch?

Hopefully, EA will be pleasantly surprised by Switch's success and decides to not only add subsequent FIFA games, but also other EA games on Switch.

@IceClimbers The fact it is called something else is a positive sign that it is actually bespoke. There is a chance that EA should be applauded for their effort. Hopefully, they invest resources in to producing meaningful AAA (relative to Switch specs ofc) Switch software. Downscaled PS4 ports would be great undocked and on the go, but when docked would probably dilute the impact of the game and that perceived balance of home console and handheld would start tipping in favour of predominantly handheld.

WTF is EA Sports FIFA on the Switch
