With the Nintendo Switch event happening on Jan. 12 and 13, the big question surrounding Nintendo’s upcoming console is what third-party games are coming to the Switch.
Mass Effect: Andromeda, one of EA’s most anticipated games of 2017, is sadly not one of those titles.
Mass Effect: Andromeda Producer Michael Gamble spoke to Stevivor about the prospects of the title making its way to the Nintendo Switch, and made EA’s intentions pretty clear.
"We’re not planning on it,” Gamble said. "If the Switch launches and everyone’s just yammering for Mass Effect, who knows. We never want to close doors like that.”
Gamble does leave the door open for a Nintendo Switch port, but it won’t release at the same time as the PS4 and Xbox One versions, which (if the recent release date rumors are to be believed) is March 31. But that’s likely a placeholder date.
As for what games are coming to the Nintendo Switch, more information on that will be revealed at the aforementioned Jan. 12 event. However, in the Switch announcement trailer we do see a bunch of third-party games coming to Nintendo’s console including NBA 2K and a possible Skyrim port.
EA has gone on record saying that one of the publisher’s biggest games was coming to the Nintendo Switch. Perhaps that title is Madden, but only time will tell.
Are you disappointed that Mass Effect isn’t planned for the Nintendo Switch? What third-party games are you hoping to see when the Switch event happens? Sound off in the comments section below.
