3DS FIFA 14 has "no updates to gameplay or modes"

But still costs £40.

Are updated kits and team sheets enough to tempt you out of £40 (eShop) for FIFA 14 on 3DS?

"FIFA 14 Legacy Edition delivers unmatched authenticity that reflects the current football season with updated kits and rosters but no updates to gameplay or game modes," stated a Nintendo press release sent out this morning.

It's another pinch of salt sprinkled into an already sore wound created by EA's diminishing support of Nintendo hardware. FIFA 13 on Wii was nearly identical to FIFA 12 on Wii, and EA has elbowed Wii U out of the picture entirely for the time being.

I've asked EA for an expanded comment on the issue.

Both taking the news badly.
