Nintendo Switch Ports Aplenty
EA Play Predictions
So far, EA has not been playing nice with Nintendo’s portable hybrid console since its launch in 2017.
EA explained their lack of early Nintendo Switch support via an earnings call, in which Andrew Wilson stated they believed most Switch owners would just play EA titles on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or PC, which has blossomed into zero Switch ports outside of the FIFA franchise.
More recently, executives have been bringing up the Nintendo Switch, wanting to offer more support going forward. I think now is going to be the time, with make-sense ports coming very soon.
Titles like The Sims 4 or Apex Legends would immediately transition well onto the platform, but going a step further, I think we see Madden finally make its way onto the Switch, whether that be in last year’s version, a mobile downgrade, or the like.
With the great success of the Nintendo Switch, EA will want to get on board as soon as possible, and beyond the titles in their library that would easily be ported, they will also more than likely start pushing their indie game publishing outfit into porting to the Switch as well.
