@Spoony_Tech The update for a game EA already made. No reason not to.
@kobashi100 FIFA19 wouldnt be coming simply because of what EA has said. They revealed they are waiting until seeing demand for the system as of March 2018 before even considering future projects. Do you expect a team to be given the greenlight and produce a competent FIFA game in what, 6 months if that?
Consider this an aspect of my approach to things. Expect the worst, that way you are either prepared or pleasently surprised that you were wrong.
I expect FIFA 19 to be announced for switch at E3 with all the over versions.
@Therad doing a 4:3 ratio would probably help but yeah. They essentially have to make the 2nd screen part of the pause screen for most games. Those 3 games for the 3ds are probably the only ones I personally want.
FIFA 18 on Switch is actually a polished version of FIFA 17 (with '18 rosters) on other consoles. Now that they have the experience and the engine running, it'd probably take them a lot less effort to port a newer version (either '18 or '19). Challenge lies within bringin features which aren't 'ported' so far (The Journey), but they can easily decide to omit (some of) those features again. Whether that's wise is another question.
But my conclusion is, that they should be able to bring a '19 version to Switch within the given timeframe.
Waited for NL to publish Japanese charts, but no dice. For those who don't visit PushSquare, here are the most recent positions. Headlines - Switch still going strong. Labo in Top 5 in second week!

It's so weird.
Konami can STILL making games for consoles (PS4) with their Baseball games, But still NOT considering another their games for Switch. Instead, Konami is keep busy with their BEMANI Arcade games (Never been released on consoles anymore) & Pachinko games.
@Shellcore
Yeah, i know about Konami situation.
Almost near of Bankrupcy, lost their talented artist, etc.
Even Dance Dance Revolution Ace now turning into DDR Vocaloid & Toho Project Mix like MaiMai SEGA.
The quality of DDR Ace songs are nearly Disaster. DDR without Naoki Maeda = Downhill.

"Where's mah Switch Star Wars game, EA? It's Star Wars day. Yah meant to have loads of announcements," said the super serious Star Wars sect of the fanbase.
EA replied after a dumbfounded silence, "If you have a PC, XBox One, or PS4, enjoy these credits to spend on things in Battlefront 2. And while we're here, hope you're enjoying our mobile games. Have another impossible to get character."
No it's not Miller time, Tool time or whatever else you guys are smoking!
It's time for ♫ D-K ... Donkey - Kong ♫
Tried staying up last night but passed out. Woke up and started a save file, ran gold on 1-1 with Funky... all within 15 min before I had to get ready for work.
It's all coming back

Wow, I read this page, and see only Konami and EA. Now I'm sad.
Konami: I don't know why they can't just admit they want out of the video games business. They're mostly out of it anyway. They have a few IPs to milk, but they clearly have no stomach to spend money on it....so don't.
EA: please please please don't make me sit through another 90 minutes of FIFA/Madden/Battlefield, and faux eSports with Youtubers. Don't do it. I. Will. Break. Stuff. Someday EA will remember they have some good IPs. Some day they will. I know it. And I know Persona 5 will come to Switch. And Halo and God of War....
@EvilLucario Only if it involves EA paying back everyone that was suckered into buying last year's Need for Speed Such a cool game on paper.....such....and EA product in life.
@NEStalgia
I still curious about EA relationship with Nintendo during Wii & NDS era.
It was Soooo... Intimate during Wii & NDS era.
EA contribute some Casual games for Wii & NDS such as My Sims series, Charming Girl Club, Littlest Pet Shop, EA Playground, Spore, etc. Like EA & Nintendo are Best Buddy.
But now, after Wii U failure, EA think twice to contribute their games for Nintendo. Even EA Skip The Sims 4 for Switch (until now).
Even Switch is really success, EA still think twice to contribute their games, like No Best Friends anymore.
@Anti-Matter EA, like Activision was formed largely by game executives/developers that were bullied by Nintendo and NoA during the Yamauchi/Lincoln/Arakawa years. To a degree, those companies exist as a "screw Atari, screw Nintendo" statement. So it's no surprise there's no love between the firms. (Activision spun out of Atari and chose the name because it would sort higher in alphabetical order than Atari Acclaim then spun out of Activision and again chose the name to sort higher alphabetically.) Basically video games is one big incestuous dump heap in the west
That said, I dont think the change at EA with those kinds of titles really relates to a relationship issue with Nintendo. I think it's a result of 3 factors: Wii & DS represented a tap to a a very large untapped market of non-gamers and, to be politically incorrect (Ryu will smack me) 'women and children' as a market. That market still exists, but is on phones now (and EA has gone there.) Also, hardware standardization came about for all platforms but Nintendo with the PS4/X1 launch. So companies like EA changed how they approach everything.....everything but Nintendo now follows one development path as PC, so Nintendo hardware needs to be very specifically justified. They use their own in-house engine, so porting it wasn't a priority (but it was for Ubi since they had a joint project with Nintendo.) Finally EA changed corporate focus since then. They've doubled down on games-as-services, and of course their sports games and their Star Wars license. They've pulled back to only a few blockbuster service titles and away from one-off titles. That model doesn't mesh well with us Nintendo customers. So to a degree theyv'e just gone off in another direction.
I would care....except the OLD EA content is the content I liked from them. The new stuff is so shoddy.
But it's all cyclical. Something will swing them back around someday.
That was the Beginning of Girlie games on NDS & Wii, such as Cooking Mama, Nicola Kanshu, Style Savvy, Imagine series, Petz series, Dreamer series, etc.
Funny, i have interest with kind of Girlie games like that.
If only Girlie games can make a debut on Switch with better gameplay.
I guess video games nowadays are Less Girlie games, more Boyish games.
@Anti-Matter Video games were always more boyish games and less girlie games. That was always a challenge in the industry that video games were considered more of boys toys than girls toys, and certainly before that you didn't see nearly as many girls at arcades as boys (oh boy, now I'm imagining studded leather and punk hair....ahh, the 80's....) It's not that no girls played but it was certainly less common. I think the modern industry took that and went to more of a shounen type market just because that's the market they already had. Plus the modern market is based largely on the PC market...and that was ALWAYS extremely male oriented (even late 70's early 80's personal computer games were all war-themed covers. Product of the times.)
The Wii and DS kind of created a new type of market....it already existed a little, but made it much more popular and mainstream to have that secondary market of light games that aren't story driven and aren't about maximizing challenge etc that appealed to that non-gaming market...the "girlie games" you reference. But it was a flash in the pan. It went big then burned out fast, and most of that market became the mobile market. It's thriving heavily...but...it's also not the same as it's more casino-like now.
I'm sure you'll see some attempts on Switch, but I don't think you'll see that big bubble of it again now that phone games are a thing.
It's rather surreal that all non-VC Wii U games released in 2014 that I bought except Smash will be on Switch by July 13th.
DKC Tropical Freeze - May 4th 2018
Mario Kart 8 - April 28th 2017
Hyrule Warriors - May 18th 2018
Bayonetta 1+2 - February 16th 2018
Shovel Knight - March 3rd 2017
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker - July 13th 2018
And if Smash Switch ends up being an enhanced Wii U port that would be everything by (likely) September.
The speed at which Switch has been clearing up the Wii U library has been rather impressive.
