A bit more information would be nice about the current situation of indie games on the eshop, like how many self published games there are and a few examples of them. You know, rather than just repeating what one random guy said during his youtube video becuase apparently that is all that is required to qualify as a new article these days.

We win, we win HOORAY!

Of all the things to try and brag about like.

@Damo

Are you really saying "surprise NES game" doesn't imply new?

This is not a new game just an existing game at a new save point.

Misleading title.

Wii U only got Fifa 13, no legacy editions.

There is a lesson to be learned here people, don't fall for rumours.

Also that Xbox presentation was rubbish.

@JaxonH

Well said. Completely agree.

The game looks like generic rubbish. It's a no from me dawg.

I have defended the Switch versions of Fifa so far as they have been more fun and arcadey than the PS4 versions but this is a kick in the balls.

I won't be buying it at launch, I will wait for it to go on sale.

@LunarFlame17

OK, fairly conclusive.

Are you 100% sure? Risky article title.

@BacklogBlues

Well I am sorry to hear of your circumstances but I can't change how the games industry works for you.

Also I can't buy whatever I want whenever I want, I pick and choose what I spend my money on like everyone else.

@BacklogBlues

That's your problem. Persona 5 has been out years now and if I want a game that badly I buy the console it is out on.

@Ralizah

Were you ever led to believe by Atlus it was a possibility?

People are still yapping about this? Buy a bloody PS4.

In my opinion this chart is worthless until all companies share their sales information.

@Carck

I am commenting purely on sales not the quality of the games. Haven't even played Sonic Racing so I don't know how good or not it is. I also won't play Crash but I believe it will significantly outsell Sonic Racing and may even give MK8 a run for its money.

Well TEAM Sonic Racing had a good run but Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is leading the way again in third on the individual formats chart.

Crash Team Racing will give Mario a proper challenge I feel.

Is this Xbox Life? Why is everyone getting so excited about this?!

I always take rumours with a (large) pinch of salt but I want this to be real just to see how they actually manage to port this game to the Switch.

@AlternateButtons

So you admit you were also in the wrong?

@Kalmaro

Honestly just a couple of exclusive games is all I need to buy a console and between Last of Us, Uncharted 4 and God of War the PS4 has met its targets.

Ironically enough Street Fighter V is another massive major factor but I consider it in the same bracket as Bayonetta 2 and 3 in that Sony have funded it so is a second party title pretty much.

@Kalmaro

With Microsoft I agree, apart from Killer Instinct (love it) their first party line up for Xbox One has been an absolute disgrace this gen.

Sony I disagree, I only played Last of Us on PS4 and it was honestly astoundingly good. God of War I only bought this year and I am on my third playthrough and it is so far my game of this year. They have had other great exclusives worthy of the system.

My view is first and second party exclusives best remain exclusive but third party games should be open to all. But I am also realistic and don't expect the likes of CoD etc to show up on Switch for technical reasons and if others do they bought the wrong console.

@Morrow

Agree 100%

@Kalmaro

I accept I can be a hothead and quick to judgement but I am also open to having a discussion. Morrow and I had a decent one.

I will say your line "Exclusivity and portability are what's keeping the Switch alive right now." is a bit ridculous because of course it is important like it is to any other console. Exclusives and unique features are whay keeps alive all consoles.

@Kalmaro

To be fair I didn't insult you.

@Morrow

No one is perfect mate. I am a bit of a hot head at times (and many other issues) haha.

We love games, thats what matters!

@Kalmaro

All good. Myself and Morrow had a good discussion.

@Morrow

I would argue it wasn't that clear you meant only first and second party in your first post but we have reached some kind of accord so I will say good discussion and I hope have a good one!

@AlternateButtons

You- "Are you really that stupid?"

Also you - "Chill out. If you're going to argue, don't attack people personally. That's childish. Grow up."

Practice what you preach there bud.

@Morrow

That is a much more reasonable reaction than tossing your Switch out the window!

@Morrow

This is about a third party game dev surviving an ever more competitve market and if that means putting their games on all the available platforms so be it. Only a complete muppet would have a problem with this.

@Morrow

You have missed the entire point of my comment.

By the way, proof you bought the game on Switch?

@Morrow

So if it was announced for Steam you would have waited and bought it but only when it was on sale.

And you wonder why game devs need to put their games on multuple systems.

@Woosh193

Please tell me who is doing that in this chat and how?

@Morrow

Oh come on, I am trying to engage with you here so will you get real?

Game devs need to make money to survive and the best way to make money is to make their game available to the widest audience possible.

How is this bad?

@Morrow

Companies will never know if their game will sell well or not.

Unless a game dev has been paid to keep a game exclusive I will never begrudge a third party game dev (not even then to be honest as I didn't pay them!) releasing their games on multiple consoles because it increases the chance of their games doing well and allowing them to keep making games.

Edited to make sense.

@Morrow

Was this Travis game actually described as a Switch exclusive? Genuine question as I am not sure.

I was there for the Resident Evil 4 betrayal in 2005. It was meant to be exlusive to Gamecube and Shinji Mikami said he would chop his own head off it was ported....but it was ported to PS2 and then every console ever since pretty much (and til the end of time probably).

RE4 is a masterpiece but only 1 million of the 20 odd million of the Gamecube userbase bought it so it had to be ported to recoup costs. It sold much better on PS2 even though it was not a perfect port.

My priority is third party game devs actually make enough money to stay in business and keep making great games. It should be everyones priority.

First and second party exclusives will still continue for Nintendo and Sony.

@kobashi100

The biggest was Resident Evil 4 and that was two generations ago!

@Morrow

And if that day happens you can have your meltdown but considering No More Heroes games have already been ported to PS3 is your reaction not a bit of an overrreaction?

@Morrow

Because they need to be told.

On a serious note, if this stuff worries you so much you need to drop gaming and find something else in your life. Game devs are dropping like flys and exclusives from independent game devs aren't really possible anymore as they are denying themselves millions of potential customers.

What was your view on Cuphead coming to Switch?

Exclusives should remain first and second party. Third party should be accross the board of possible.

@Morrow

You did? Well that makes your comments even more embarrassing as I assumed you must be a kid cause why would anyone over the age of ten get so annoyed about this stuff?!

SBandy 64 yo.

@iLikeUrAttitude

Yes?! Something to say?

@AlternateButtons

How did I "attack" them?

@iLikeUrAttitude

Who did I insult?

@AlternateButtons

How did I attack you?

@AlternateButtons

"mistreating us"

It is videogames ffs.

@Morrow

That is a whole lot of rubbish you just spouted.

@Morrow

Get a life son.

@RupeeClock

It is basically the PS4 / Xbox One port which were 10 out of 10 ports so I am more than happy.

Gyro controls are a missed opportunity but that doesn't take away from an already perfect game.

I have RE4 on Wii and the controls are great but it looks extermely rough on modern TVs.

I now get RE4 at 60fps on the go. I could not be happier.
