Electronic Arts have hinted more of their games could be coming to the Nintendo Switch soon.

Patrick Söderlund, the executive vice-president of EA, admits he is excited about 'FIFA 18' launching on the portable console, and seemed to suggest that if the football game is a success it could lead to more of the publisher's titles dropping on the device.

He said: "I've made people repeatedly, publicly aware that I'm a gigantic Nintendo fanboy. Nintendo was what got me into this industry in the first place. I take my Switch with me everywhere.

"What I will say is, we will appear on any platform where there are consumers, and players.

"We believe that we want to be a part of the Switch, and help Nintendo grow that installed base; that's why you'll see FIFA, which by the way is really good this year. It's a full-fledged FIFA game, for the first time to be honest, on a portable device."

Patrick admits it is his "personal ambition" to see as much of EA's portfolio "as possible" on the Nintendo console because he is such a fan of the company and their releases.

Speaking to EDGE magazine, he added: "At the same time we have to look at it from a resource standpoint and, at some point, the numbers become a factor.

"So for us it's about supporting the platform, building technology for the platform, testing it out with big things like FIFA - and maybe a couple of others, we'll see.

"If they go well, I see no reason why we shouldn't have as much of our portfolio on that platform as possible. I hope we get there, that would be my personal ambition."
