Forums - Nintendo Discussion - EA is Annoying

As a proud Switch owner and my son who got one for his b-day (7th) so he can play with his pops and loves playing Madden, can someone please explain why EA isn’t releasing Madden again on the Switch? I was looking forward to playing with my son, It just doesn’t makes sense. FIFA in the U. S. Is doing quite well with sells so the trial game was a success in my opinion. Really tired of EAs treatment of Nintendo, In my opinion Madden is a perfect sale for the Switch.

Because they don't think it's worth the time to port.
That simple, unfortunately.

I get that. Still doesn’t make sense to me when FIFA is doing well 18 million consoles now easily 500k life time sales in the U. S. 



Just wait, it will likely come, in the mean time enjoy the other 800 or so games on the system.

Also the thread title could read "water is wet"



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

You should've given him an xbox one x and some mountain dew. 



As far as business relations go, EA and Nintendo despise each other. Never expect any EA game on a Nintendo system.



FIFA is just much much bigger than Madden.
Switch FIFA sold 6% of the X1/PS4 total. (physical only)
6% of Madden 18 X1/PS4 sales would be 265k. Maybe not enough for them to make a version.



Probably should have done some research before investing. Would have saved the disappointment.



There's plenty of things to criticize EA about but that's not one of them. Nintendo always had a bad relationship with 3rd party devs.
