A Nintendo Switch version wouldn't be the first time EA Sports have tried to work their magic on consoles other than the power couple of PlayStation and Xbox. Remember those ill-fated Wii ports that failed to make the most of the system's unique gameplay style? Well, Switch could be EA's latest try.

It seems likely any Switch version will suffer a downgrade compared to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of FIFA 18. Nintendo's new console just can't match either in terms of sheer graphical prowess or processing power, so gamers may be about to live through another 'Legacy' edition similar to the ones released on PS Vita.

Nobody who played those needs to be reminded just how successful that experiment was (in other words, not at all). Expect a Switch edition of FIFA 18 to come with some limitations, although how deeply that will impact core gameplay or the game's feature set remains to be seen.
