@MrGawain for a long time members of the NDF have slated EA and many comments have always been that EA are crap and we don't want their games.
Chickens coming home to roost.

Probably would never happen, but I'd love an announcement of a Switch version of pocket football club.

@OorWullie yeah was going to wait and see with that game.
Hoping a sensi clone like active soccer 2 dx might hit the Switch some time.

Always up for trying an arcade footy game.

@Octane couldn't agree more, mate.

@Octane ??? You being serious

I remain cautiously pessimistic.

Just to annoy those first! Commenters.

Strange that non Nintendo IP's that receive this kind of treatment are praised by Nintendo fanboys.
Yet if someone has the audacity to do this with Nintendo games, the rabbid fanboys come out with their pitch forks and torches.

@BustedUpBiker Demon's Souls is a Sony exclusive.

I see the spin doctors are out in force, in these comments.

More accessories than games.
Oh well.....

@AcridSkull yeah, we don't want points docked, that could affect the overall metacritic.
And we can't afford to lose valuable persuasion capital!

@ECMIM your quite right, my apologies, that's what happens when you to try to sneak online, while at work and don't pay attention

More nonsense for fanboys to throw money at Nintendo, for a solution to a problem that should not been there in the first place.

Hang on, Nintendo fanboys agreeing and accepting something DF have published?
Have I fallen through some wormhole in to an alternate universe?

@SaltFaceDave64 thank you, I feel blessed.
I can now die, a truly happy man.

@SaltFaceDave64 you're trolling these comments, but I must admit, your reply did make me chuckle.

But seriously, give it a rest.

@SaltFaceDave64 you do know you're a bell end, don't you?

@Ballzilla how is this disappointing and feeding trolls?
What, a story that does not fit in to your world view that Nintendo is an untouchable, angelic and squeaky clean company not sit right with you?

Perhaps they saw what people are willing to pay for 1-2 Switch, and thought, hey why not!

*edited for typo.

@capitalism the delusion of Nintendo fanboys never ceases to amaze me!

@Shellcore you have just predicted the future of the Switch

I can see lots of lazy mobile ports coming to Switch, if this becomes a trend.

@Anti-Matter I believe they were being sarcastic.

LOOK controller colours!!!!

Shh don't mention analogue triggers.

@SeriousSam are you being fecking serious, Sam?

@UK-Nintendo yay!

@UK-Nintendo name more sinister games!

To be honest, I don't want a modern FF.
I want a 16 bit snes style jrpg, so I can revel in nostalgia when Nintendo were a technical powerhouse, and at the same time sneer at modern graphics because modern games that aren't on Nintendo are rubbish.

Pulls up a chair, opens a bag of crisps.
Waits for the hilarious fanboys comments.

What I hated about the Wii, was how games had pointless waggle, when conventional control would have been better.
I think this could happen again.
HD rumble is a gimmick that will be used well in first party games, but implemented badly in third party games.
We've been joy conned.

Strange. Fan made game of classic franchise, amazing, were can I download it, shame on original developer.

Fan made game of classic Nintendo franchise. I won't play it, developer should concentrate on original games, illegal, Nintendo need to protect their IP's.

Accessories, accessories, accessories!

It will come to Switch months later, when after everyone else has played it and is done with it.
It's a shame they ditched the Wii U version, probably would have sold a decent amount.

@Mathieu_B if I'm honest, I've been more excited for Andromeda than I have for Switch.
If you have just picked up a PS4, I urge to to play Bloodborne! (And Rouge legacy)

Ahhh, now I understand Nintendos strategy.
Dont try to get everyone in on Switch, just bleed the existing fans dry.

Is Switch news really that barren?
I could list one or two other games that are not confirmed for Switch yet

Do I need one? No.
Do I want one? Probably not.
Gone are the days of buying a console for a handful of games (even if those games are mostly of exceedingly high quality)

Seriously some of you want your cake and eat it.
But of course, it won't be nintendos fault if it all goes tits up.

@BensonUii which is why they have hamstrung Switch before it's even released.

@TeslaChippie but Nintendo is promoting it as a home console.
Are you telling me Nintendo dont know how to market their own product
/edited for spelling.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE totally agree. If Nintendo had pitched this as a powerful handheld, but with the beauty of hooking it up to a TV, I think a lot of negativity (including mine) would not be necessary.
Instead, they openly promote it as a home console and will suffer with lack of third party support, because it's an underpowered home console.

@Jessica286 so how many sales constitutes as mainstream?
Buy the numbers, this list seems to be relatively up to date.
So in your infinite wisdow, enlighten me.

@Jessica286 haha what?
PS4 and Xbox are totally mainstream, but the thing is, they also cater to hardcore too.
What exactly was I defending? And if you mean by making a valid comment as a rant, then I think you need to read it again.

Mr or Mrs average Joe, goes in to a game store past March 3rd, looking to buy a console.
They look at PS4, it's price, bundles, game library, peripherals. Shop assistant tells them about it's online functions, media capabilities, Blu ray player, PS plus, Playstation now and VR.
They do the same with Xbox, minus VR and now, but is backwards compatible with over 300 360 games and growing.
Now to Switch, higher price, no bundle, smaller library of games, peripherals are high in price. Assistant explains its not backwards compatible, no media functions, there is virtual console and its also portable.
Being subjective, what are the better options for them?
And remember Switch isn't a time machine, it's competing now, not at prices 3 years ago.
Nintendo said they listended, to who? Uberfanboy82 on a forum, who would lap up and defend anything Nintendo do.

@Iggy-Koopa yeah about 100 million Wii's gathering dust after a year.

Those who say it doesn't matter, really don't get it.

I recently picked up an Xbox one S, with the Divison, Gears 4 (plus Gears 1-3 and judgement) and minecraft, for £210
If I was an impartial buyer, looking to buy a console ( with the knowledge that one has all the 'big' games, media capabilities etc), I know which one looks the more tempting.
Fanboys can grumble all they like, but it's the average person on the street that Nintendo need to convince. Honesty, I don't think Switch can do that.

@Luna_110 read an article! This is the age of the interet, where only headlines and kneejerk reactions count
