EA confirms plans to bring its popular game franchises to the Nintendo Switch 2. During a recent financial call, CEO Andrew Wilson indicated that titles like Madden NFL, EA Sports FC, and The Sims are strong candidates for release on the new console. Wilson highlighted the potential for these games to attract new players to EA's ecosystem, citing the success of The Sims on previous Nintendo platforms. While specifics remain unannounced, the expectation is that the Switch 2's enhanced capabilities will allow for more feature-rich versions of these games compared to their predecessors.
The prospect of enhanced versions of Madden and EA Sports FC on the Switch 2 is particularly exciting. Previous iterations on Nintendo consoles have been considered "legacy" versions, but the Switch 2's increased power suggests a closer alignment with the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC releases.
Further fueling anticipation, numerous third-party titles are rumored for the Switch 2. Firaxis, developers of Civilization 7, expressed interest in the console's reported Joy-Con mouse functionality. Nacon, a prominent publisher, confirmed its readiness to launch Switch 2 titles. Additionally, the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong is rumored to be among the Switch 2's launch lineup. Nintendo itself has announced a new Mario Kart installment, with further details expected at a Nintendo Direct event in April.
