FIFA 18 on the Nintendo Switch offers the first FIFA on a Nintendo console in 5 years (FIFA 13 on the Wii U) and the first on a Nintendo handheld in 3 years (FIFA 15 on 3DS). It's safe to say that Nintendo console owners have been missing out on the series for a while and especially FIFA's big moneymaker, Ultimate Team.

FIFA 18 Switch presents the opportunity for a console FIFA experience on the go & the first of its kind, in an age where portable FIFA games tend to be gimped and feel more like a mobile game. I was excited with the announcement of FIFA at the January event but couldn't let myself go too far as EA does have a tendency to ruin it. For example, with FIFA 13 on Wii U, EA decided to release it without Ultimate Team, a stupid decision that ultimately pushed Nintendo gamers away from picking it up. And with that, EA had a good excuse to say sales were too low & there was no point releasing another one.
