Nintendo Switch Getting Multiple EA Games This Year
It will be interesting to see what EA decides to bring to the platform. EA has previously released entries in the FIFA franchise on Switch, but new iterations in the Madden and NHL franchises have been conspicuously absent. The Switch hardware is underpowered compared to the PlayStation and Xbox platforms, so this could be one reason why EA has been slow to offer stronger support.
Despite the success of the NES and SNES, Nintendo platforms struggled with third-party support for nearly 20 years. While PlayStation and Xbox received plenty of support from publishers like EA, Nintendo fans were often kept waiting for inferior ports that came long after the original titles released on other platforms. These ports often sold poorly as a result, and third-party publishers would use those failures as an excuse to withhold future support. The Switch's portability, however, has given players an incentive to double-dip on games they might have already owned, or give them reason to wait for ports, so that they can play those games on the go. It certainly doesn't hurt when games like The Witcher III: Wild Hunt have even allowed players to cross-save between the PC platform and Switch. Suddenly, ports don't seem as bad!
Time will tell just how dedicated EA is to supporting Switch. The two companies have never seemed to have the closest relationship, so Switch owners might not want to get their hopes up. However, the success of the platform just might convince EA that the system is worth their efforts. It's unclear when fans can expect to know more, but the EA Play Live event in June could shine some light on what Nintendo fans can expect.

Mario350Gossip I don't see EA being successful on the Switch tbh.
i dont see ea being successful anymore after black box shut down, but ey 55million sold and nothing good besides smash bros witcher 3 borderlands coming out soon for it mario skyrim doom, these all sold very well and are pretty much the only good games on the system atm the indie games 90% of them suck.
but yeah ea is gonna help out alot on the switch market side because they would be stupid not to, and considering if the witcher 3 and doom can run on the switch im sure bf and all the mainline games on ea side will run on switch.
cant deny that ea is pretty much a dead company if it wasnt for battlefield
EA will always be successful, the money they make each year from FIFA alone is astronomical.
