EA Set To Launch "Multiple" Titles On Nintendo Switch In 2020

FIFA Madden and they'll call it a day

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Just want NHL please. Unless they want to do Mass Effect right on the Switch unlike the Wii U this time.

About effing time EA!

I hate EA, but honestly, if the first Garden Warfare ever came to the Switch, I'd buy it. lol

The sequel I didn't like, but the first game's Garden Ops was super addicting. The Ops games in the sequel just felt less exciting for me...and I didn't even bother looking into the third game.

Yeah, see EA, we've been lied to so often that it's hard to expect anything from you. I appreciate Burnout Remastered, and I'll be there day 1 cause it's one of my favourites and THE title I wanted on Switch from you.

Now, of the rest, Mass Effect Trilogy may be long overdue, but I'd be down for it since I only ever owned Mass Effect 3 on Wii U but was told NOT to start there but to play the others first. So would love to get a chance to play all three back to back, the way they were meant to be played. Of all your licenses EA, Mass Effect is the one I want to see on Switch the most, and all three in one package please, I'd pay extra for the full package on a 32GB cart if need be, the way Witcher 3 got released. Please don't mess that up.

Madden and NHL should be already on Switch, better late than never I suppose.

I'll gladly take Mass Effect and Dead Space trilogy remasters. Fingers crossed, but I'm not expecting much.

BLAH BLAH!

They say this pretty much every other year! 😂

(oh yeah forgot about Dead Space, it's true that they own that too)

@bl4ckbl00d don't believe it. EA constantly says this

Dead space trilogy and mass effect trilogy has my money if they make it

Jedi Fallen Order pls!

I want The Sims 4 on Nintendo Switch. That would be amazing!

FIFA is one of them, but if there are multiple games, I wonder what the other(s) will be? Cross your fingers for a madden

The more games the better.

Yes EAs microtransaction policies are awful but everyone is guilty of that, just look at Nintendo's mobile games, but I have enjoyed the last few Fifa games without going near the microtransactions. Not excusing it at all as it is a scummy tactic and I believe proper regulation is required for all games and publishers.

If EA open up their back catalogue on Switch there is a lot of potential.

This is good news, not bad.

I highly doubt it will be Madden. Not sure why so many are thinking it will be.

Personally I’m hoping for Dragon Age, Apex Legends & some of their Star Wars games.

Mass Effect trilogy & Sims seem like safe bets.

No thanks, there's enough garbage cluttering the switch as it is

I'd be happy for Madden. I preferred the old sprite based Madden's on the Megadrive.

@TeddySwolesevelt

This is to their shareholders who are probably asking why EA is not releasing games on one of the fastest selling consoles of all time.

EA is not stupid and I imagine the likes of Fifa has sold more than expected on Switch.

Money talks.

@smithpa01

So you would deny the joy of others cause you don't like EA?!

OK.

Everyone should buy Burnout Paradise and prove to EA that Nintendo Switch deserves their games as well! Better late than never!

@spirit_flame I'd buy a 16-bit College Football USA '97 port on the switch in a heartbeat.

Please, please let it be NHL. The last time NHL was on a handheld was in 2006, when it was NHL 07 on PSP. 14 years, I think it is overdue.

in addition to NHL, bring some Dragon Age games, Dead Space and Mass Effect.

@TheFullAndy I would say EA was worse than most when it comes to microtransactions. That said, if they released something good for the Switch, I'd probably buy it. Although looking over what they've made in the last few years that could be ported over, there's nothing I really want (I'm not a Star Wars fan).

give me nhl 21 hell yeah

I’m not gonna hold my breath.

Kingdoms of Amalur is just about my #1 pick if I could port anything from anybody.

yes its a new IP called 'Lootbox - Surprise Mechanics Edition'

Nothing in this doc mentioned new Switch titles

Hope they bring Battlefront and Garden Warfare.

Not holding my breath, but I wish EA went back and remastered their EA Sports BIG releases, specifically SSX and SSX Tricky, as well as NBA Street and NBA Street 2. I realize licensing issues are present in both (music in SSX, NBA players and music on NBA Street) so, as I said, not holding my breath.

More realistically, Mass Effect Trilogy (not Andromeda) should be a priority - it is a fantastic saga that deserves to be kept alive.

But if they go way back, how about the Command & Conquer series? There is even an upcoming remaster of C&C 1 and C&C Red Alert that could be considered.

@TheFox

Yeah there isn't much for me either but more choice is always a good thing.

I'd buy an NHL game on my switch. That's about it as far as sports go.

Hmmm. Does that mean NHL and Madden might come to Switch? There is zero competition on the Switch for most sports. I would love those, a new FIFA, and the return of NBA Live.

@Supadav03 it's a no-brainer with the install base likely being bigger than XB One by the time it releases this summer.

I'll believe it when I see it, EA.

I mean maybe they can widen the audience of the Switch which would be good for Nintendo, but I can't say I'm too excited. I'll wait and see though, considering they may not even do anything.

The last time I had an EA game was on the the AMD (Pentium 2) full tower I built from Jameco parts, 5.5 floppy, 3.5 floppy, zip drive, and 100MB HD.

Mass Effect, Dead Space and Skate would be great. Highly doubt it though. Anyway, them bringing more games to Switch is a good thing regardless since the more third parties make the Switch, the more chance of good games. People seem to have forgotten the Wii U days rather quickly.

FIFA 21 Legacy Edition
FIFA 13 Remastered
FIFA 20 Legacy Edition - Game of the Year Edition

Joking aside, I would love to see the following

The Strike Collection - HD Remasters of Desert /Jungle / Urban and Nuclear Strike all in one superb collection.

Road Rash Collection - as above and with online racing.

Grandslam Tennis 2
Fight Night 6
PGA Tour 21

A downgraded version of FIFA, Madden, and Need for Speed... EA has not impressed on Switch. They never go all out.

Can we get the Sims 4 (or 5 when it inevitably comes out) on the switch please? I really think that the switch is perfect for the sims.

"Sounds promising"

snrrrk okay then whatever you say

@graysoncharles @rockodoodle This is EA we’re talking about. How many other “no brainers” have they whiffed on with Switch.

EA is going to be dumping massive money and time into making Madden for PS5/Series X. Switch definitely will not be getting that version of Madden and I doubt it would even get a legacy version.

78% of FIFA’s sales were on PS4 with only 3% on Switch. I LOVE my Switch but Nintendo has never been the go to for sports games, especially not Madden. I’ll put Madden 21 in the slim-to-none bucket (but I’d love to be wrong).

Absolutely not convinced it'll be anything but the least possible effort

@Euphara I've been wanting that too. I think it would be a great fit

FIFA + Burnout = multiple

Not that I'd trust modern day EA to do it right, but I'd like to see a new Road Rash or a Road Rash remake.

We can probably expect HD remasters of.....
Peggle
Zuma
Bejeweled
Bookworm

I’ll believe it when I see it. Otherwise, I will say speculation at this point. EA is really good at saying the right things and not having to do deliver a thing on the Switch.

Alice and Mirror's Edge! Would be nice

I’m guessing most of them will be crappy sports games or some lackluster titles that never sold well on previous platforms.

Unless they are releasing a Dead Space remastered trilogy, I have zero interest in anything they bring to our beloved console...

@RudyC3 can I commission you for a gif/avatar I’ve been wanting to make?

this sounds sketchy.

@nessisonett we haven’t forgotten, we’ve moved on. Maybe you should too... -rolls eyes-

FIFA 19: Re-remastered Edition
Burnout Paradise

There's our "multiple" titles. EA never said they were going to announce any additional titles for Switch.

With The Sims, I would prefer an annual console release like the 2000s as opposed to a port of the PC game (and the ridiculous quantity of DLC) in tow. The first two GBA games (and also the DS edition of The Sims 2) were amazing and I would love to see a return to that style of experience.

I was happy to buy expansion packs on disc for PC back in the day, but they're having a laugh if they think I'm going to pay for download-only DRM-crippled DLC. EA killed my goodwill during The Sims 2 period and I'm more than content with sticking with the first two games on PC if they aren't willing to get their act together.

I think the Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare series would not only get the just rewards it deserves but it would be a big hit on the Switch, especially with the Splatoon crowd.

As far as anything else? It's rumored that Unravel 1 is coming out soon, however if we get Madden I doubt heavily it would be the most recent version, it would probably be a legacy edition but they would still charge $60+ for it.

I personally would love Battlefield 4, or a scaled down Battlefield 1, the Mass Effect Trilogy (They can cram Andromeda back up their butt). Another game I would love to see, Skate, any of them.

Couple of other titles I don't necessarily want, but would do amazing on the Switch:
The Sims 4
Apex Legends
A Way Out
Dante's Inferno
Mirror's Edge
Fight Night
Alice: Madness Returns
TitanFall 1 and 2
Any Need for Speed Game

@Supadav03
Where did you pull your FIFA percentages from? Because trying to fact check them on Google is pulling up nothing. The only thing I can see is that FIFA 20 has been added to the Greatest Hits collection in Japan which means it now sells for a lower price. They usually don't do that for something that didn't sell well.

Madden would be sweet. The install base is big enough now. Madden on the go would be epic. I could play Madden while watching an NFL game or play while at the game. Or at work.

@mesome713
Or you could work at work, there's a thought

Finally admitting there may be something to this Switch, eh EA? You smell that EA, you should know it, it is called money...

Mass Effect Trilogy, Dead Space ports, Unravel 1, the Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare games-plenty of options that would work fine on Switch in several ways, wouldn't be pricey to port, and could nets some decent profits. Old classics and cartoony games are sure to get core gamers attention while Plants vs Zombies and the sports titles grabs more casual audiences.

Not really expecting much from EA. I don't even avoid their games much, a lot of their stuff just doesn't appeal to me, and they seem insistent on making their game output as small as possible anyway. I said it before, there could be something new to grab people's attention, but EA seems fine coasting by on their sports titles.

@muscpt
It has been very confusing as to why EA may finally be realizing this, we are talking about the system that has outsold its competition in different regions despite them having a couple year head start. And even now, 3 years in, the System is still sold out in a lot of places and selling like hotcakes. EA has been known for chasing money even if it hurts their studios, I half expected a ***** low fps version of Battlefield V already lol

@Andrew5678
To be honest, it's expensive to ever port anything. Especially anything recent from EA since they forced all their studios to use the Frostbite engine which is a ***** to port to anything else.

I’d only buy the Mass Effect Trilogy from EA as I have yet to play a single game in that series. I think people should keep their expectations low and only look for FIFA and that Unravel game.

Who cares at this point.

Fallen Order and Dead Space would’ve been cool additions though, but I wouldn’t give money to EA.

@brandonbwii
Unravel 2 was a really nice port on the Switch and I loved every moment of it, Unravel 1 doesn't have the same co-op appeal

@Old_Man_Nintendo I'm talking on break. I eat at work so have a bunch of time to kill.

@Old_Man_Nintendo

Breaking down the sales by platform, the game sold best on the PlayStation 4 with 3,363,237 units sold (78%), compared to 797,024 units sold on the Xbox One (19%). The game also sold 134,102 units on the Nintendo Switch (3%), 8,429 units on the PlayStation 3 (0%), and 6,613 units on Xbox 360 (0%).Feb 1, 2019

VGchartz

I messed up. That was simply launch week #s, not the whole year BUT I still think it paints the same picture in the end. Even IF Nintendo quadrupled its interest, that’s still only 12%.

And FIFA is a lot more popular globally than Madden. If any of you guys what to quote me on this and check back during football season I’d be happy to talk again in the fall.

I hope Mass effect trilogy will make it to the switch. But I won’t get my hopes up, it is EA we are talking about...

Dear EA,
NHL or GTFO.

Sincerely, Dave

@Supadav03
I'm not denying that it's more popular on other systems since they are charging full price for a legacy edition on the Switch but VGChartz is not a reliable source

@mesome713
How long are your lunch breaks? Being a security guard I get zero minute breaks....(sobs softly)

@rushiosan
You could buy them used and that way no money directly goes to EA

The only thing the majority of Switch owners will want from EA is the same thing everybody else has been asking them for. Remasters.
Unfortunately, EA only specialise in monetising the poor uninformed casuals with loot boxes. I wonder how many times EA can:

1. try and force the market to do their bidding
2. misread the market and how gamers play games
3. keep closing developers

before they start to feel the sting that their toxic corporate practices and greed is causing them.

@Sentinator
I still think even if we get remasters of past titles from them they may add loot boxes in some way. So Mass Effect 1 remastered, $39.99, Mass Effect 2 remastered $39.99, and Mass Effect 3 remastered $39.99. Or buy the Trilogy for $99.99 and get pre-order day 1 access to a new Andromeda skin. Then there will be microtransactions for new skins

@Old_Man_Nintendo Take from it what you will, but in the fall Madden 21 won’t be on Switch (IMO)

I'm completely sure that not single one of those "multiple games heading to Nintendo Switch" will be a Star Wars game, so they can keep them to themselves.
There's nothing I want from EA except Star Wars. I can't wait for the day they lose the license.

It's most likely Indie games like Unravel etc. only published by EA.

@maruse
I could see something like Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order coming to the Switch if anything, because the sales of it surprised EA, they wouldn't need to worry about putting up additional servers (unlike if they ported Battlefront 2) and worry about crossplay (again with something like Battlefront 2)

@Ventilator
I agree if I had to guess the top three games I think will be ported eventually to the Switch:
Unravel 1
A Way Out
Plants Vs Zombies 2 (or Battle for the Neighborhood)

> Burnout Paradise
> FIFA 21 Legacy
> Apex Legends
> Plants v Zombies

Dead Space and Mass Effect Trilogies, plus the original mobile Plants vs Zombies, please!

@Old_Man_Nintendo That's fair. I know it's not just shoving a PC title into Switch, but I assume there are more difficulties porting some titles compared to others. Older titles and more stylized games are less graphically intensive compared to something like Fallen Order. There's also a risk vs reward consideration, which is why I brought up game bundles and stylized titles that Nintendo gamers would like.

Regarding Frostbite, EA should really consider just splurging on a new engine that they own so they don't have to pay royalties to 3rd party engines. An engine change could probably make it a lot easier on everyone working on their titles.

I realize a star wars game is probably out of the realm of possibility - frostbite never ran on last gen or wii-u consoles, and the minimum requirements for Battlefront 1 on PC are much higher than warframe or doom. I think SWTOR would be cool as a single player game with que-able multiplayer raids and flashpoints, possibly releasing with only the original 1-50 content. It was mostly a single player game already, and the ability to play the 250+ hours of voiced story content from bioware on the go would be a huge win. As a PC player, I'd absolutely double-dip for offline play and the old balance set. But that would be a massive undertaking, and require a new control scheme and UI for tablet mode- more than just a port, really. Possible given the system requirements though (albeit with a massive ~50gb download). We have no traditional MMOs on the system, so it would have a monopoly on that niche.

More realistically, I would love something non-sport related (I play NHL, but not much into other videogame sports, and I don't think the market is there. If the main selling point is online play, those that have a PS4 or Xbox and a switch probably won't double dip. Which is unfortunate, as most of EA's games in the past 10 years are multiplayer focused). I think any battlefield release (4?) would need to have bots playable when in portable mode. Maybe the whole Dragon Age series? Mass effect would be nice, and potentially be a way to give Andromeda another life (it was much better after patches, though the bad press was done by then). I would double dip for need for speed, which I think did OK for a Wii-U title and fairly well on Vita. Maybe NBA Jam or NFL Blitz from way back - sports games designed with local multiplayer in mind- would be a better fit.

The only thing i want from EA is madden.

@Andrew5678 They do. They have the Frostbite engine that DICE created for Battlefield that's used in Mirror's Edge, Fallen Order, and the latest 4 or 5 Need for Speeds plus I'm sure all their sports titles use it.

@Old_Man_Nintendo They haven't added loot boxes to any games since Battlefront 2 and they already removed those long ago. Loot Boxes are dying in console games, thankfully, because of the outcry. The last game I remember getting slammed was MK11. It might survive on the mobile market, but console/PC gamers won't tolerate it.

Dragon Age Origins pls

It's Electronic Arts, so nothing to get excited over. About the only projects they could do that would thrill me are classic compilations that will never happen.

I could go for a compilation of the Strike games. At minimum, it would need to include the SNES & Genesis versions of the first three alongside PS1 ports of Soviet and Nuclear Strike.

Another fun one would be a Need for Speed compilation up through and including Porsche Unleashed (PC versions except for the 3DO original that remains the best version of NFS1).

Or how about a Wing Commander compilation?

I would love the Mass Effect Trilogy, those games are some of my favourite ones. Honestly, I didn't hate Andromeda either. It was quite disappointing, but people hate on it and still buy games like Sword and Shield, which seem to have many problems in common with it: clunky animations, bad story (even by Pokemon standards) and weak characters and yet people defended them with passion and it even managed to be a commercial success. At least Andromeda was patched to correct some stuff, it was fun to me gameplay wise and I would like it on the go. The original one would be way better though.

Please: Star Wars, Plants Vs. Zombies (both the original series and Garden Warfare), other pop-cap games like Peggie, Bookworm, etc, Madden, and then some of their older back catalogue too.

@Old_Man_Nintendo If it's "Indie" games, my guess that it's brand new games. Time will tell what's coming sometime this year, but most likely soon. New EA games is a rarity on any system now.

I wonder why they don't port Titanfall 2 to Switch, or even Mirror's Edge / ME Catalyst.

@Falien Yes true-and that is one genre really missing on Switch: AAA Real Time Strategy Games.

Legacy editions galore!
Frankly, it has been maybe three or four years since I last played any EA product, and that was just a failed attempt to make it to the end of Mass Effect 3. With Bioware now developing frigging online shooters, I can't see myself getting interested in anything EA would produce nowadays.

@Old_Man_Nintendo It's an hour break.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

@ivory_soul
https://www.engadget.com/2019-04-03-battlefield-v-currency.html

May not be loot boxes but it's still microtransactions which are just as bad

@mesome713
Why so long?! I would hate to have to be at work for 9 hours simply because they think I can't eat faster

@Atariboy
You apparently have never played Titanfall 2

@Old_Man_Nintendo Titanfall 1 and 2 is awesome games. Respawn is the best developer EA have.
It's wrong to flame Respawn because of EA.
I bought their Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order yesterday for my Xbox One X. 4K + HDR.

Titanfall 2 is a game that's highly optimized and should be ported to Switch.
Because of Wii U, EA is still sceptical about Switch even when Switch sold over 55 millions so far and still sell like hot cakes.

@Ventilator
They weren't all in on the Wii or the Gamecube either

@Old_Man_Nintendo Cause if you drive to eat at a restaurant for lunch with coworkers you need an hour. We get paid for it too.

@mesome713
Not all businesses feel that way, many only give you a half hour. I like not having a lunch break, it means less time at work and near my coworkers lol

Never played a Mass Effect but did play KotOR 1 and 2 and loved them so I know I’d love Mass Effect. Give me those and I’ll be happy.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a publisher that was so hated, yet highly requested by Nintendo players.

Fallen Order and Battlefront 2 please.

@Old_Man_Nintendo Thats true, but even less support after EA got new boss right before Wii U launched.
Need for Speed Most Wanted had loads for Wii U exclusive upgrades including PC textures, and Mass Effect 3 were a damn good port. Crysis 3 port were cancelled.
After this, support have been terrible.

PvZ Garden Warfare, please!!!

@outsider83
I don't hate EA, I just think they make a serious of really stupid decisions. Now Bethesda on the other hand, Fallout 4, and 76 are inexcusable messes

Dear EA,

Please don't do that. That would actually be bad.

Many thanks
Most Gamers.

The multiple titles:

Burnout
FIFA (which of course is the same game just work new team clothes)

I could not care less.

Unprecedent partnership.

Please let Madden be one, I'm aching for gridiron on my switch

SSX or don’t bother.

I’ll wait on announcements before I get hyped about anything.

Mass Effect and Dead Space trilogies please, EA. Then all is forgiven.

Is this part of that unprecedented partnership they're doing?

Dead space and battlefield would be good and a good racer.

Sorry Electronic Arts it's all too little too late.

Like a lot of people on here I think dead space trilogy (hell even throw in the mobile game I still have installed on my phone as a bonus) is perfect for switch release. Mass effect. Garden warfare would be excellent. An actual sequel to plants Vs zombies without horrid microtransactions (I know it's EA.) A popcap collection! So many great casual popcap games!

Sims 4 and Battlefront 2? Maybe even Fallen Order?

Fifa
Crysis
Burnout

Yep, that's multiple.

Great. I love broken ports and cheap crap.

Maybe a Sims 1 Remake or a Choices Port, a SimCity Creator Remake, Spore but less complex + Whats confirmed

They are going to release that PvZ shooter game for Switch.

By multiple, they mean two games. And knowing EA, they’ll gimp the Switch versions and then charge more. We’ve been here before; we know their gameplan

Lol imagine battlefield on switch

@sandman89 HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH UR SO FUNNY!!!The switch will never,EEVER be able to run a game like battlefield.Why do you think red dead redemption or Call of duty isn’t on the console yet?No,the switch Dosent have the strongest hardware to run battlefield...sorry,mate

Last EA game I bought was Fifa 10 on PS3. Used. Enjoyed it, though.

Fallen Order is the only thing in EA’s stable that would really make me sit up. Love the BioWare stuff, but I just don’t believe EA will ever do anything with them. The more time passes, the older and less technically impressive those games get - and EA doesn’t believe people will buy things based on gameplay and story alone. It always has to be new and shiny - which is why it can get away with annual updates to its sports franchises and continue to rake it in.

1 - Madden
2 - anything Star Wars
3 - NHL
4 - any arcade sports/ea sports big
4- Need for speed

Please be madden first though

@GigaNibba I’m well aware I have a pc. Your so funny mate.

Welcome aboard EA. PLease abide by the following rules.

Please don't bring your micro-transactions.
.
It doesn't have to look PS4 so long as it's fun to play
.
Remember, Nintendo is for everyone. Folk like Dead Space as much as Simpsons Hit and Run so vary your genres. (Nintendo do!)
.
If you haven't guessed, Plants Vz Zombies and Sims will do amazingly well.

Crysis and Burnout are both cofirmed. Throw in a FIFA legacy edition and there you go, multiple games.
Although I'm hoping for Mass Effect or something along those lines, I won't get my hopes up.

https://www.polygon.com/2020/5/5/21248091/skate-3-mobile-game-leak-jason-dill-podcast

There's talk about a mobile version for Skate 3. Maybe EA meant the Switch by saying mobile. That would be awesome.

"Multiple titles" = a 10yo game, a reskined half-assed FiFA...

hmm... looks like someone is having trouble developing for the new consoles and wants to make sure there is a revenue stream by finally bringing ports to the Switch.

Dead space , , would be amazing, already got bioshock coming this month, best two games ever made ( maybe tie figher / xwing )

Plants vs Zombies: battle fro neighbourvil! I use to love the PvZ series and it would be cool to see it on Switch!

With the switch sales reaching 60 million I think they will finally support it more, maybe a better version of fifa and mass effect trilogy

FIFA ‘96 remastered

I just need Mass Effect Trilogy and Dragon Age: Origins + Awakenings, thanks.

Legacy edition Madden 2020 using the Joh Maddens American Football 1993 engine.

To be fair I'd totally buy that

I would love a Peggle Blast game for the Switch.

Multiple titles, eh? Uhmmm... Mass Effect Trilogy, maybe? Perhaps Dead Space Trilogy??
Oh well, we're talking about EA, it's hard to be exited about this, they'll surely dissapoint lol

@sandman89 right and I’m a telepath and I TOTALLY KNEW you had a pc.Take it easy,man I thought u didn’t know so I was informing you

Great news, hope they sell well!

FIFA, Burnout, Plants vs Zombies.

If they're smart, they'll add a version of Madden, Command & Conquer Remastered and even Star Wars: Rise to Power (whenever it dose release for Android).

@GigaNibba
Battlefield 4 was on the Xbox 360 which was insanely weaker than the Switch. On top of that with the right porting studio anything is possible, we have Doom (Doom Eternal soon), Wolfenstein, and the Witcher 3

Battlefield, Battlefront, Madden, NHL, NBA and of course a new up to date FIFA.🙏

Well the more choice, the better I guess. Struggling to think of anything EA has I would really want to play on Switch though. Find most of their stuff pretty stale at this point. Sims 4 would probably be the game that makes the most sense on this platform.

I do own Unravel Two ( great game and often available for $5 in sales) and FIFA 19. I know most people dislike the Switch FIFA games but I’ve had 45 hours of fun with it to date and also picked it up in a sale so no regrets here. I only get the urge to buy a FIFA game once every 8 years since the 90s though so no desire for any more for a while longer

Oh yeah, Command and Conquer is theirs too, huh? Yeah I would be interested in that for sure.

EA Sports to play it safe

Is this saying Madden for the Switch this fall?

It'll almost certainly be the EA Originals games

Expecting nothing. Then if something for Switch is announced, it's a pleasant surprise. I'd get Madden, probably at launch.

I think total port of Sims 4 to Switch would be very good. I would buy it. I think its only title I would buy from their list. I don't count FIFA cause its downgraded version on switch.
Also one guy mentioned Kingdoms of Amalur, I don't think they will release but it would be very interesting if they ever do.

I've been eyeing Dead Space 1+2 on steam for a while but holding out for that $5 sale. If they are released on switch, I'll switch to waiting for a big sale there instead.

EA must be desperate, and likely need money. If it the full game and same experience as on other consoles I be interested. If it like the last fifa on switch then I could care less

As they all say, "better late than never." But it surprisingly took them THIS long, compared to their rivals Activision Blizzard and 2K.

EA are an absolute garbage company, profiting off of often low to middling quality games and terrible anti-consumer business practices. They can keep their old ported games to their selves as far as I’m concerned.

• They'll price the games at $50-60
• Nintendo fans wont buy
• EA will once again jump ship

@Dman10 Well said!

I hope they port the Star Wars games over, they’re all so good

@Supadav03 I wonder if the better number/percentage would be NBA 2k 2020. I also think Switch owners would be more apt to buy since it has never been on the system. I have an Xbox, but only buy Madden every 3-4 years, if that.

That said, it would not surprise me if EA blows off Nintendo yet again.

@rockodoodle I think NBA2K might be even more skewed away from Switch. Have you seen the online community for it? Totally dominated by PS4 players.

I am not saying this to hate. I play my Switch 10x more than my PS4 but sports games & Nintendo haven’t had the best relationship in some time. I mean, Madden hasn’t been on a Nintendo console since 2012 and hasn’t been “equal” to the version on other consoles since the GameCube days (Maybe even SNES).

All that being said, I’d go nuts for a Madden 21 on Switch that could match what Madden 20 was on PS4/XBO but even that seems like a stretch.

@TheFullAndy Know what? EA actually confirmed that Fifa sold better than expected for Switch, which is why they said last time they had plans for more Switch support. They might give us two more, maybe 3, posssssssibly 4 more games....

@Supadav03 I think it would be an inferior version for sure. But if for no other reason, I think it would sell bc it has not been on the system at all. Look at all the people in this thread wanting it.

@rockodoodle well you can count me amongst them. I’d 100% buy if on Switch.

Just give me the mass effect trilogy

@TeddySwolesevelt

What a time to be alive haha.

Seriously more choice for gamers is only a good thing.

Well it only took them 3 years!! Nice to see that the Switch will receive a proper Madden football and NHL entry! 👍

doesn't matter because it's too late. not only is burnout 64.99 in canada on switch but it's also way too late to launch the game on switch, the interest is low. Many people are already waiting a price drop and the port isn't even out yet lmao.

Seeing how they treat the switch in general, yeah, people should have 0 expectations.

Oh god, please let it be Mass Effect trilogy remastered!

Madden, FIFA, and NHL legacy editions for £50 a pop, thank you from EA.

Boy....we hate EA until we don't, hey fellas?!

@Old_Man_Nintendo well I suppose so but who’s gonna buy BF4 in 2020 ( even tho it’s a spectacular game)

I always thought the Sims would be a good fit on the Switch. And even if they were dumbed down versions, they could make Switch versions of Madden & NHL. Of course you could have said these same things for the past 3 years with a lot of their games. It’s still up to EA to go through with it.

I won’t be buying them, but happy for anyone who does.

NHL 21 please. We haven’t had NHL in a Nintendo platform for 15 years since NHL 06 and I’m tired of playing it on XBox One with the crap controller. I want to be able to play it anywhere on the console with the best controller ever made. And not a watered down bag of rubbish, one with all modes, in full, including HUT and CHEL and every other mode.

I believe them if they say they will release multiple 'titles'.

...but with they release multiple video games?

Probably something to do with those 55 million odd worldwide sales to date and realising they are missing out on thousands from releasing some of their usual rubbish...

I wouldn't mind seeing a port of Sims 3 with all of it's expansions!

@Old_Man_Nintendo if I remember correctly, EA had a bunch of games in development for the Wii U back when Wii U was officially revealed in 2011, but then Nintendo went against using EA's Origin service and just all of a sudden a bunch of EA's games weren't able to run on the Wii U with the exception of Madden NFL '13, Need For Speed: Most Wanted and Mass Effect 3.

Madden is all I want.

@Old_Man_Nintendo It's a single game. EA is clearly steering away from this as it's hurting sales of their games that include them.

People who have only owned Nintendo consoles and have never played it

@GigaNibba
$20 or $30 remastered Battlefield 4 with all it's DLC on the Switch would be a smash hit. Activision is never going to give us what we really want, Call of Duty Black Ops 1 + 2
