@anoyonmus Meh, who cares about Madden anyway. I would love to see Battlefront II on Switch. I would buy it again even though I have it on XBOX One. I cancelled my XBOX Live years ago because it's too expensive compared to Nintendo Online and just play Splatoon 2 instead which is a lot of fun. Looking forward to PvZ though.
To add to what @anoyonmus said about Frostbite game engine, this is the first time the Frostbite game engine will be included in a Switch game. Frostbite is developed by DICE and is used for many EA games. The fact that they finally added Switch support for Frostbite is HUGE in terms of what can now be released.
If that still isn't clear, PvZ has been developed with Frostbite and the game engine didn't support Switch previously so of course EA/PopCap probably picked a title to pilot release that would yield a positive return on investment for the effort of adding support for a new platform. Given the latest sales figures on consoles, Switch is doing exceedingly well and this is really the right time to shift revenue sources while PS and XBOX are in transition.
If you look at the Wiki for Frostbite, it opens the playing field for games like Battlefield V and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 on Switch (and I guess niche games like Madden 21 if sportsball is your sorta thing). I would almost go as far as predict these releases.
I went digital. According to Nintendo's support website, the game will be playable in the US at "12:00 AM ET on the game's release date." I hope that's true, if so I'll get to play it at 9 PM PT tonight.
