Have 3rd Party Devs treated the Switch as a Console or a Handheld

Nope, the Nintendi Switch didn't get a console port of Fifa 18, it got a specific designed version of the game with another game engine, which was slightly improved for Fifa 19 before being just the updated game with Fifa 20

"Just like" referred to "received a console port", not implying it was the exact same engine used.  My point was that EA and 2K had both stopped releasing dedicated handheld versions of their biggest sports franchises years ago.  EA stopped releasing FIFA on 3DS and Vita after 2014.  2K did not release a single NBA 2K game on either the 3DS or Vita.  Not when they were both brand new devices.  And, not even when the 3DS sales picked-up steam and built up a decent install base.  You'd have to go all the way back to 2012 to find the last dedicated handheld 2K port, which was NBA 2K13 on the PSP.  When the Switch released with both home and portable functionality, both EA and 2K started porting their flagship sports titles to it.

Well actually EA marketed Fifa 18 on the Switch as "the best hanheld Fifa so far"
