Considering they aren't publishing that many games a year now, one game is a good percentage of their portfolio.

I have zero interest in FIFA but if it is FIFA I would hope that it sells decent at the very least so that EA doesn't stop supporting the system right away like they did on the Wii U.

We know it's FIFA, but we don't know which version.
We need a poll on which FIFA they're gonna release for Switch.
- FIFA 13
- FIFA 14
- FIFA 15
- FIFA 08 (Wii Classics)
- Cristiano Ronaldo for Smash

oh? did they say they are publishing one game a year on the thing? or that one is in development? games take multiple years to develop, by the way.
Frostbite engine is VERY forgiving on toasters, so the question now is cart size.
It would be that keeper who wears those stained grey sweatpants.

I till think titanfall just because it's not on frostbite and not internally made so EA doesn't have to waste it's internal resources on switch.
Maybe the graphics take a hit and it runs at 30fps though.

Good thing that GTAIV tattoo was temporary, he can switch it for another thing he's a huge fan of.

Yeah not sure how OP reached that conclusion. I doubt Nintendo is even allowing anyone to state how many games are in development.
That said I'll expect nothing but FIFA for launch and be pleasantly surprised if there's more.

A good version of the yearly FIFA game would be enough for most of my extended family to pick up the switch.

A major game =/= Only one game
Not sure if trolling, but that was misleading...
Why wouldn't it have Ultimate Team?

The Wii U version didn't ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Hopefully now that Nintendo has a competent development environment with help from Nvidia and is working more robustly with third parties, missing features and poor optimization won't be such a problem with third party titles. The Wii U launch games were all plagued with performance problems because Nintendo's dev tools were archaic and poorly supported by the company. Miyamoto later admitted that Nintendo themselves didn't have tools refined to get the best performance out of Wii U until six months after retail release. The Switch seems like a night and day difference in how people have reacted to it.

EA admitted that they didn't get time to port a lot of things to Wii U's version because they spent most of the development time on porting the engine to Wii U. Hopefully the things are more straight forward with Frostbite now. Plus the online infrastructure of Wii U was in its "infancy" at that point. Nintendo really fucked up the development tools for Wii U's laucnh.
Hopefully things should be much better with Switch this time around.
We have one major game and a few lackies in development..
Honestly what game by EA do they not consider major?

isnt fifa released during the fall? weird to talk about "one major game" so ahead of its release time.
Who would be excited about fifa 2016 in late march?
Also, i think "major franchise" is what he would have said if it was fifa.

FIFA is a game that sells constantly well during the whole year.
Edit: let's have a look at a chart in similar time frame this year

Oh, no. FIFA dropped from 4 to 6. Terrible! /s

From a company's perspective, ever game they release is major. I think it's pretty clear that they are only developing one game.
How do you read the statement if not?
"We are bringing all of our shit tier games and also a good one"?
If they had more than one, they would have said so.
