FIFA 12 3DS will feature SpotPass support, not StreetPass, producer talks importance of nailing fundamentals
This information comes from FIFA 12 3D producer Matt Prior…
“We are not utilising StreetPass but we’ll have a day one kit and roster update to make sure we are fully authentic for the new season and SpotPass is one of the ways that you can download the update.”
“We looked into all of the unique 3DS features early in the development cycle but with our first foray into Fifa on the 3DS we wanted to make sure we got the fundamentals right and focused on getting the core game solid while at the same time innovating in key areas. We did this by developing a lot of content and modes and developing the gameplay with unique 3DS features which we have done with the addition of touchscreen shooting. We wanted to focus on getting those things right and creating a very solid and fun gameplay experience.”
SpotPass is something that I’ll always welcome in 3DS games. But it’s truly a shame that FIFA 12 won’t have any online multiplayer support. That’s been a feature that fans have been accustomed to seeing in sports games.
