Nintendo do need major western multiplatform releases more than you might suspect.Didn't expect anything else really.
Nintendo doesn't need Mass Effect.
ME:A is bad and as a switch owner, this isn't a loss. I played it on origin access and it was a waste of time.
And I'm trying to figure out what Capcom half-assed phoned in over price port have to do with EA and EA's Switch support. We have EA basing their decision on Mass Effect Andromeda on Wii U's Mass Effect 3 performance when it luach around the same time at the same price as the Mass Effect Trilogy on the PS3 and Xbox 360. There were several poster in this very thread jumping up and down at the prospect of the Switch is going to fail due to the lack of Western Third parties.
Man, people are desperate for Nintendo to fail.
I just need one thing from EA: Dead Space Trilogy HD for Switch.
Sad post is sad.The Switch is sold out everywhere and Mass Effect Andromeda is on sale for $30 USD on PC two months after its release.

Wow, $10 cheaper than Street Fighter 2!
I'm not desperate for Nintendo to fail. I'm just capable of seeing that a lack of western major third party support going forward would be bad for Nintendo.Man, people are desperate for Nintendo to fail.

And I'm trying to figure out what EA's half-assed job on Mass Effect: Andromeda has to do with it being on the Switch or not. They're unrelated things. Good game, bad game, good sales, bad sales, the fact remains it's not on the system because it's too weak to run it, and that's going to continue to be a millstone around the system's neck going forward as third parties decide whether or not to support it. So, uh, good jump bumping the thread that continues to be emblematic of Nintendo's lack of forward thinking in terms of third party support. Yay?
Good luck with that, since EA seems dedicated to ignoring their back catalog at all costs, regardless of platform.
You got a receipt that the Switch is too weak to run Mass Effect?
.Beggars can be choosers.
Not to say that it can't run it because it's weak but can you also provide evidence that Switch supports frostbite?
I'm genuinely curious.
FIFA runs on Frostbite; but it is still up in the air if the version of FIFA that the Switch will receive will be based on Frostbite or not. From my limited understanding from reading posts from Tech-gaf, it still would be a good exercise for EA to port over Frostbite to ARM arch.

And still Switch is not getting Andromeda.

It looks as if Andromeda needed the Switch then the Switch needed Andromeda....
an image that makes nearly no sense at this point.
FIFA for ps4 and xbox one and PC runs on Frostbite starting this year.
FIFA for 360/ps3 runs on the old Ignite engine and hasn't had a real gameplay update in over 4 years. FIFA 2017 is being released for ps3/360 still this year.
Its really unknown whether the switch port will be based on the Ignite engine or the Frostbite engine, EA has only said it will be a custom port but that doesn't really say anything since by the very definition of a new platform it is a custom port.
Is it really that surprising to people that a lot of 3rd parties(especially Western) probably won't even bother with the Switch?
Nintendo doesn't need Mass Effect.
Ahh, the self-fulfilling 3rd party prophecy on Nintendo hardware. "Nintendo doesn't need quality 3rd Party Title" and then when Nintendo systems stop getting quality 3rd party titles, as they have for almost 20 years now, "Nintendo doesn't do enough to entice 3rd parties!!"

maybe if the hardware isnt sold out constantly we can use this again
