Nintendo Life: EA has a bit of history when it comes to releasing versions of FIFA on new consoles. No matter how many years the series runs for or how many formats the game is released on, the first edition on a new machine is always a bit hit and miss. You can track that all the way back to the days of the Sega Megadrive and EA’s first console-based FIFA title - FIFA International Soccer – which was in rude health and sitting at the top of the sales charts month in, and month out.
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
Just who is buying FIFA 13 on Wii U? We may never know, but there are more people buying that than there are Bayonetta 2 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
Sonic Boom is riding off the popularity of the TV show; it's a bad game.
And as for FIFA?
Well, guess that goes to show that there's a lot of older gamers on Wii U that wanted FIFA, then; sports games generally do out-sell action games, and Platinum isn't known for large sales in the first place.
I'm not worried for Bayonetta. It'll hit that 1M mark by the middle of next year, surely, at its current pace.
are seriously trying to downplay Bayonetta 2 with sales
In Fails of the Weak #210, Jack and Geoff bring you fails in Sniper Elite 3, FIFA 13, Sportsfriends, Destiny, Halo: Reach, and FIFA 14.
Soccer? Or "Football"?
I expected it to run very slow due to the supposed slow CPU. Fifa is a CPU heavy game and with everything going with the advanced AI and sloppy port the WiiU should be slow, but it's near perfect.
If WiiU can easily handle quick/sloppy EA ports of CPU top heavy sports games like this, then It makes me wonder if all this Slow cpu talk is pure BS!
lol why do people talk as if the frame rates are so bad on wiiu, anyone would think we are talking about a slideshow or something. you only need 24frames per second to create the illusion of movement
