EA Sports FC and Madden Could “Find Real Energy” on Nintendo Switch 2 – Plus, MySims: Cozy Bundle Is Thriving
February 5, 2025EA is watching the Nintendo Switch 2 closely, and according to CEO Andrew Wilson, it’s got big potential for some of the company’s biggest franchises—EA Sports FC and Madden. If you’ve been hoping to play FIFA (oops, I mean FC) or throw some touchdowns on Nintendo’s next-gen console, it looks like your wish might just come true.
During EA’s recent financial call, Wilson dropped some interesting insights about EA’s history with Nintendo, what the Switch 2 could mean for its franchises, and how MySims: Cozy Bundle completely shattered expectations.
So, what does this mean for Nintendo fans, sports gamers, and cosy game fans?

Could EA Sports FC and Madden Finally Find a Home on Switch 2?
EA’s sports franchises have had a weird relationship with Nintendo consoles. EA Sports FC (formerly FIFA) has been on Switch, but Madden? Nowhere to be found.
Wilson hinted that things might change with Switch 2, stating that EA expects sports games like FC and Madden to “find real energy” on the new platform.
Translation? The Switch 2 might finally have the power to run these games properly.
Here’s the thing: the current-gen version of EA Sports FC on Switch has always been a stripped-down “Legacy Edition”, meaning it didn’t get any major graphical or gameplay upgrades like the PlayStation and Xbox versions. The Switch hardware just wasn’t up to the task.
But with Switch 2 rumoured to be significantly more powerful, EA might finally bring the real deal—not just a glorified roster update.
As for Madden? Well, it hasn’t graced a Nintendo console since Madden 13 on the Wii U (and we all know how that turned out). If Switch 2 is powerful enough, it makes total sense for EA to bring American football back to Nintendo players.
EA’s Secret Success Story: MySims: Cozy Bundle Is Thriving
Surprise, surprise—while sports games struggle on Switch, cosy gaming is absolutely killing it.
Wilson revealed that MySims: Cozy Bundle has sold way beyond expectations, with 50% of players being completely new to EA’s ecosystem. That’s a huge deal because it proves that there’s a massive audience for The Sims-style experiences on Nintendo.
Now, this raises an interesting question: Could EA finally bring The Sims to Switch 2?
Let’s be real—Sims fans have been begging for a Nintendo port forever. And with MySims doing shockingly well, EA might finally realize that cosy simulation games belong on Switch 2 just as much as big sports titles do.
If EA wants to capitalize on this success, Switch 2 could be the perfect platform for a Sims 4 or Sims 5 release. Imagine designing your dream home on the go without needing a gaming PC. Sounds like a dream, right?
What’s Next for EA and Nintendo?
Right now, EA is playing it safe when it comes to announcing games for Switch 2. Wilson made it clear that there’s nothing in EA’s official models yet—which means we probably won’t hear much until Nintendo actually unveils the console.
And guess what? That might be sooner than you think.
Nintendo’s rumoured big reveal for Switch 2 is set for April 2, 2025, during a special Nintendo Direct presentation. Once that happens, third-party publishers like EA will finally be free to spill the beans on their upcoming Switch 2 plans.
In the meantime, we can make some educated guesses about what EA might bring to Nintendo’s next console:
A proper EA Sports FC experience – No more Legacy Editions, please. We want real gameplay improvements, Ultimate Team, and the full next-gen package.
Madden making a return – Imagine playing franchise mode or Ultimate Team on a handheld. It’s been over a decade since we had Madden on a Nintendo console, and it’s about time for a comeback.
The Sims 4 (or Sims 5?) on Switch 2 – If MySims: Cozy Bundle proved anything, it’s that Nintendo players LOVE life-simulation games. EA should take the hint and bring The Sims franchise to Switch 2.
Apex Legends with better performance – The current version of Apex on Switch is… rough. Maybe Switch 2 can actually handle the battle royale properly.
Need for Speed on the go – EA’s racing games have been absent on Switch, but a portable Need for Speed could be a sleeper hit.
While games are fun, it’s highly important to note that there’s more to life than sitting countless hours playing video games – there’s a purpose and more to life; seek out that purpose more often!
