The Massively Popular FIFA Franchise Is Coming To Nintendo Switch In 2017

Well it was expected but Fifa will not be a priority for me compared to the other games

According to some it's FIFA 13.

EA's loyalty extends only as far as their profit.

Yay, FIFA.
I'm sure someone somewhere will be excited.
Games for the masses and all that.

Fifa socks...

Playing it safe EA. They should have launched all of their sports games. not just fifa. But whatever. I'll buy it so I can get NHL.

This was a crucial get for Nintendo. Fans will promptly not purchase it and EA will pull support again.

I'm glad this was part of the presentation so I had time to walk away and use the restroom.

I want NHL. Only reason I own PS4 is for NHL. Bring NHL 18 to Switch in September and I can sell my PS4 finally

Patrick Soderlund looked like he was there under duress.

Madden?

They didn't even show any gameplay. Not that I'll be getting the switch because of Fifa!

He just threw us scraps. Essentially, they paid him and then some to get for a on it. Just wait, 2017 E3 will have maybe 1 or 2 games top. 2018 e3 not a peep out of EA

Sega came on stage, talked for a while and said nothing, still, EA had the worst presentation

And uniformly Americans ask where Madden is. Unfortunately Football (soccer) is a much larger game in the rest of the world. I'm hoping Madden does get announced in regional launch lineup videos.

Basketball pls, while not the most popular global sport, definitely the best one (come at me)

Fifa 09 coming to switch..... lol

Wow, that's ALL EA could muster? Not even a video? A speech by the one Nintendo fan they had while NOTHING else happened? Lol. About right I guess.

Western third parties DEconfirmed. Wait and see first, then maybe throw something out. No embrace for Next Gen Nintendo...figures. Switch will be great without the Western top 10 minus FIFA for a year

I really did not like that EA guy. What they brought to the table was piecemeal BS.

For reeeeelzzzz .. SWITCH CLICK Joy-Con mic drop!!

I saw a NBA 2K18 logo at the end of the presentation so there's that at least.

This guy looked so uncomfortable up there. If he wasn't from EA or showed off Andromeda, I'd feel sorry for him. Like I did for the awkward appearance of Suda. He reminded me of myself when giving presentations and really having no clue what to say after a while.

Why not give us MADDEN, or NHL while they're at it. I'm sure need for speed and BATTLEFRONT would both run. I certainly hope these franchises are coming to switch because if not I will be livid.

If it flops then that is EA gone until next time. I really don't see many Nintendo fans buying this.

I really hope they do but ...

@KJW90 This homosexual likes soccer so what exactly was your point? Last I checked kids play fifa as well.

@KJW90 : So which category (categories?) do you fit into, fellow Nintendo fan?

@sillygostly homosexual (no, you can not have my number and I'm NOT on Grindr), yourself?

@KJW90 : lmao
Do you assume that everyone wants to pick you up? Oh, and I'm still in my nappies, so I'm obviously a perfect fit for Nintendo's target demographic.

Everything from the games announced to the price point to this system struggling in the UK. Can't see this doing much better than the wii u if I'm honest 😩

@Boxmonkey yep the Switch is not going to turn around Nintendo's fortunes in the U.K. with the line up of games I've seen so far and a £280 price tag. Why would the typical consumer in the U.K. pick one up when they can get a PS4 or XB1 cheaper, which has better graphics and GTA5?

Knowing EA, this would be an upscaled FIFA 2015.

There was FIFA on WiiU and even on Wii this is not interesting at all. I will the game be the most recent version with online?
the one relevant thing he said was they are planning to bring all their sport simulation on Switch, maybe i will play a FormulaOne game on a NIntendo Console again...

what a mess...a so easy styke to execute and nintendo just screw almost everythnig

Damn am I the only one excited about EA sports games being back on a Nintendo system? I love football and I love Nintendo so say what you want but this is day one for me.

FIFA is a great great franchise that I have been playing for over 20 years. But EA sports really, mmm, sucks.
Whatever happens to fifa titles on 3ds, wii, wii u and vita may happen again. Fingers crossed.

I don't care for Fifa at all, but I want 3rd parties to do well on the Switch.

I think this is really good news providing that its the most up to date version that the PS4 & Xbox get, not a re-hash of the year before version like what happened on Wii U

"Fifa Taylor Made for Switch"???!!! .... Not committing to Fifa 17 or Fifa 18??? This doesnt bode well!!!

This is going to go BAD

FIFA for WiiU was an abomination. It was simply unplayable.

And now EA coming out with ONE game... sigh

If it's good I'll get it, but I really really hoped for Madden ;_;

@Timppis what are you on about?!?

I clocked 140hrs playing FIFA 13 on my Wii U. It was excellent. Limited, but nevertheless, excellent gameplay.

@LeRaposa : Seeing as they're still charging AU$89.95 for FIFA 13 in the Wii U eShop (and full price for the various iterations on 3DS), I wouldn't be at all surprised. This is EA we're talking about here, people.

Bet EA demanded to have a segment in the presentation to promote FIFA, because otherwise I don't see how they got more on time screen than, I don't know, an Atlus developer?

I bet EA's going to screw up. Again.

The most feature rich Fifa game on a Nintendo console, well that's not saying much.

@gcunit

Then you clearly didn't mind the framerate of 12 per second, glitches, crashes and lack of features combined with HORRIBLE lag in the actual controlling of players.

If I had to choose worst port ever it would be FIFA for WiiU. No doubt about it.

For gods sake EA!!!!

I have a few EA games on PS4. If they released ANY of them on Switch I would buy them. Star Wars Battlefront, Battlefield 4.... again, NHL, Madden.

But FIFA!? Football is crap and I would never buy a FIFA game. But putting that out there and judging your entire future on a format on the sales of a single football game is just stupid.

FIFA plus a straight port of any existing game so at least there's a choice would have even been fine, any other EA sports game I'd have been up for. But FIFA? The US market won't give a toss and neither will any self respecting gamer anywhere else.

I'm in the UK by the way but NHL and Madden are just far superior quality sports games from EA.

I'm excited that serious sports titles will be returning to Nintendo hopefully. But, I just purchase FIFA 17 for PS4......Sorry!

@DESS-M-8 I can't tell if you're joking or if you're being serious???

Totally serious

This section of the show was odd and disturbing. They probably have his kids held hostage somewhere, and forced him to add that ridiculous 'Luigi' story just for cruel laughs...

@Timppis Didn't mind? I hardly experienced any of that. The only lag was when I played someone online with a slow connection.

Offline play was absolutely fine, but most of my 140 hrs were spent online, and whatever problems I did encounter, the quality of the gameplay far outweighed them.

" Fans will promptly not purchase it and EA will pull support again."

What a Moby

So happy!
