Re: Mass Effect Trilogy for Nintendo Switch?

I doubt it. Mass Effect 3 was released on Wii U and I don't think that sold well. I think the trilogy is old enough now that EA may not be interested in another re-release.

    It didn't sell well because it was only one game and the price was really high compared to xbox and ps. Buying the full trilogy on other platforms was a better choice because you got the whole thing. But switch has sold 15m units in less than a year, it's powerful enough and plenty of people are interested in getting this title on it. If people want it, it means they'll buy it and that means profit so I see no reason why would EA not be interested in earning money without investing millions into the project. And it was said there's a possibility if switch will do good and people will be interested. Both things are there - switch is selling great, people are interested.

    I want to see Mass Effect coming to Switch as well, but historically EA hasn't been big on re-releases. They only have two games on Switch at the moment and both are new games (FIFA 18 and Fe).

    Perhaps they'll start re-releasing some games for Switch soon. Mass Effect runs on Unreal Engine 3, which can be ported to Switch, as was proven by Rocket League developer Psyonix (who also co-developed Mass Effect 3's multiplayer).

    They're re-releasing one game this year (can't remember the title) and they promised to bring big titles to Switch. MET and DA are on the biggest titles list.

    Yes! They'd better release the whole trilogy on the switch... EA would definately make a huge profit on this one. The first game came out in 2007.. especially the younger audience hasn't played it yet. Also blizzard realized the potential as well as the profit they can make by releasing diablo 3 on the switch.
