EA Says Madden and FC Might Find ‘Real Energy’ on Nintendo Switch 2

EA is reportedly planning to bring many of its popular games to the Nintendo Switch 2. This was revealed by EA CEO Andrew Wilson during a recent financial call. He highlighted the potential success of franchises like Madden NFL and EA Sports FC, suggesting they could see a significant boost on the new platform. The Sims was also mentioned as a strong contender, with Wilson pointing to the previous success of My Sims, which attracted a large number of new players to EA. While specific details are yet to be confirmed, EA anticipates the Switch 2's wider reach will benefit its diverse portfolio.

The announcement of EA's Switch 2 plans has generated excitement, particularly regarding the versions of Madden and EA Sports FC that will be released. Past releases on the original Switch have been "legacy" versions, but with the increased power of the Switch 2, fans are hopeful for feature parity with other platforms.

The Switch 2's game lineup is steadily taking shape. Rumors of numerous third-party titles are circulating, including Civilization VII (with Firaxis expressing interest in the rumored Joy-Con mouse mode), several titles from Nacon (publisher of Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, and RoboCop: Rogue City), and the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong. Nintendo itself has confirmed a new Mario Kart is in development, with further details expected at a Nintendo Direct in April.
