Nintendo Switch: EA support will Depend on FIFA 18 Sales

As we all know that the FIFA 18 Nintendo Switch version will be available in next September in UK, priced at £45.99 and if Electronic Arts will consistently support the Switch then we will also see many other EA games in the future.

In a recent interview with Edge Magazine, EA’s Worldwide Studios VP Patrick Soderlund has stated that he is personally excited about Nintendo and the Switch, it’s too soon to say whether or not EA will release more of its games or build new ones for the hybrid console.

According to Edge Magazine, Soderlund said: “I’m a gigantic Nintendo fanboy,” also adds that “We will appear on any platform where there are consumers, and players. We believe that we want to be a part of the Switch, and help Nintendo grow that installed base; that’s why you’ll see FIFA, which by the way is really good this year. It’s a full-fledged FIFA game, for the first time to be honest, on a portable device.”

“So for us it’s about supporting the platform, building technology for the platform, testing it out with big things like FIFA–and maybe a couple of others, we’ll see–and if they go well, I see no reason why we shouldn’t have as much of our portfolio on that platform as possible. I hope we get there, that would be my personal ambition.”

FIFA 18 Nintendo Switch will partially exploit the platform features, allowing users to play anytime, anywhere and with anyone. The game includes Ultimate Team, kick-off mode, local seasons, career, online seasons, tournament, women’s international cup, and skill games.

However, the FIFA 18 Switch version will run in 1080p, and in 720p in handheld mode. It will offer advanced technologies for the best FIFA experience ever. In TV mode, you will have a resolution of 1080p while in a portable version the resolution will drop to the usual 720p. The game is being designed specifically for the system. You’ll be able to play in docked, handheld, and tabletop modes with both Joys-Cons, a single Joy-Con, or Pro controller.
