He also highlighted The Sims as a potential strong performer, citing the success of My Sims on previous Nintendo consoles, which attracted a significant number of new players to the EA ecosystem.

The announcement of Madden and EA Sports FC for the Switch 2 isn't surprising, but the versions remain to be seen. EA's history of releasing "legacy" versions of FIFA on the original Switch raises questions. However, with the Switch 2's increased power, there's hope for feature parity with other platforms.

The Switch 2's game lineup is gradually taking shape. Numerous third-party titles are rumored, including Civilization VII, with Firaxis expressing interest in the console's potential "Joy-Con mouse mode." Nacon, a prominent publisher, has confirmed its readiness to launch Switch 2 titles. Highly anticipated games like Hollow Knight: Silksong are also rumored for the console. Nintendo itself is developing a new Mario Kart, with more details expected at a Nintendo Direct in April.
