Nintendo Switch games to rival Super Mario and Legend of Zelda coming soon?
NINTENDO New Nintendo Switch games could be announced very soon
While the Nintendo Switch games list is not without its top titles, it’s still heavily reliant on first-party exclusives. Super Mario Odyssey is likely to follow The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, in becoming the console biggest game. But while those types of titles will be the main draw for most, fans are still interested in third-party content. So far, there has only been a smattering of big third party games announced for the handheld device, with more to follow. FIFA 18 is going to be one of those games and could have some added importance for the future as well.

EA have now confirmed that they have a few new games in the pipeline for the Switch console and are looking to support further with their franchises. However, games like FIFA 18 are set to be the testing ground to see just how much the publisher will look to provide support in the future. According to Nintendo Insider, Worldwide Studios VP Patrick Soderlund has provided more information on the subject of future support with Edge Magazine. Quote from the latest issue quote Soderlund as commenting: “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."
