EA’s departure from the Wii U fold signalled and portended a larger exodus of third parties from the Nintendo camp- something from which the Wii U never quite recovered. It is why the prospect of EA actually being on board with the Switch was a little encouraging for the system’s prospects before its launch, when its fate in the market was uncertain.

Of course, its fate is not uncertain anymore- the Switch is out and it is a raging success, and it looks like EA is now more willing to commit to the system fully. Thus far, EA had only announced one game for the system, FIFA 18. However, speaking to investors in a financial call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson noted that the company is now very bullish on the Nintendo Switch, expressing excitement for it bringing an entirely new ecosystem into the fold. He noted that EA is considering bringing more of its games to the system, in addition to the previously announced FIFA 18. He also reiterated EA’s relationship with Nintendo.

What games EA could bring to the Switch remains unknown- maybe we will find out more at E3 next month.


lol EA. Could have made some easy money putting Peggle 2 and Plants vs Zombies 2 on it this year.

I don't have to insult you. I have proven that you are a hypocrite and a fool. That's not insulting you, that's exposing you.

Yeah tbh, this happened... like 3 consoles in a row or something? EA is so shit, I'm not even excited about them showing good interest in the Switch. Oh well, more games are good

They got pissed off at the Wii because Dead Space Extraction bombed. I think their casual stuff did okay but nothing on the level of Just Dance or anything.

They got pissed off at the Wii U because Mass Effect 3 and Need for Speed Most Wanted bombed

They completely ignore the portable market for the most part. To be honest they seem a bit crappy at supporting everything that isn't the AAA console/shooter market.

Not bringing out their family friendly stuff like PvZ 2, Unraveled, Peggle or a Sims 4 port on the Switch is such a missed opportunity and would be easy money for them. But as I said EA doesn't seem to multitask very well.

Considering I haven't heard anything about getting Frostbite to Switch their support will probably be poor anyway.

I heard lots of good things about NBA Playgrounds, though I know that's more of an arcadey sports game as well as not being by EA I think
