EA Says Madden and FC Might Find ‘Real Energy’ on Nintendo Switch 2

EA is reportedly planning to bring many of its popular game titles to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This was revealed by EA CEO Andrew Wilson during a recent financial call. He specifically mentioned Madden, FC (formerly FIFA), and The Sims as franchises poised to thrive on the new console, highlighting the potential to reach a new player base. Wilson emphasized EA's history of success on Nintendo platforms and the expectation that these titles will resonate strongly with Switch 2 owners. He also pointed to the success of The Sims on the original Switch, where a significant portion of players were new to EA's games, indicating a large untapped market. While concrete details remain scarce, EA anticipates the Switch 2 will offer valuable opportunities to expand its reach and engage new communities.

The announcement of EA's intentions has sparked anticipation among fans, particularly regarding the versions of Madden and FC that will be released. While EA previously released "legacy" versions of FIFA on the original Switch, recent efforts have focused on feature parity across platforms. Given the Switch 2's enhanced capabilities, there's hope that future iterations of FC will offer a gaming experience closer to those on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

The Switch 2's game lineup is gradually taking shape. Numerous third-party titles are rumored, including Civilization VII, games from Nacon (publisher of Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City), and the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong. Furthermore, Nintendo is confirmed to be developing a new Mario Kart title, with more details expected at a Nintendo Direct in April.
