EA er allerede noget der ligner om bord på Nintendo Switch, og udgiveren vil påbegynde deres understøttelse af platformen med det kommende FIFA 18, der udkommer i næste måned. Men, selvom EA uden tvivl er store fans af Nintendo, så lader det til at være på FIFA's skuldre at afgøre om hvorvidt firmaet vil fortsætte deres støtte af platformen.
For nylig fortalte EA's vicepræsident, Patrick Söderlund, nemlig Nintendo Everything følgende:
"I've made people repeatedly, publicly aware that I'm a gigantic Nintendo fanboy. Nintendo was what got me into this industry in the first place. I take my Switch with me everywhere. What I will say is, 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."
"But at the same time we have to look at it from a resource standpoint and, at some point, the numbers become a factor. 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."
For nu lader reel støtte på den længere bane stadig til at være op til debat. Tror du at FIFA 18 på Switch kommer til at klare sig godt?
