Madden NFL returns to Nintendo

Madden NFL will make its grand return to Nintendo.

Announced at today’s Nintendo Direct, Madden NFL will make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 for its next installment. This will be the first Madden NFL game released on a Nintendo console since Madden NFL 13 on the Wii and Wii U. The Madden NFL franchise made its Nintendo debut on the Super Nintendo for John Madden Football in 1991.

In February, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson discussed the possibility of running Madden NFL on the Nintendo Switch 2 (via Video Games Chronicle):

“Anytime a new console comes into the marketplace that's of a benefit to us, it gives us the ability to access and acquire new players. Typically, we've had franchises perform very well on Nintendo platforms. Certainly our expectation is that products like FC and Madden and others might find real energy on the platform as they have done in the past.”

The next installment of the Madden NFL franchise will be announced soon. Since its inception in 1988, Madden NFL has generated over $4 billion in sales.

A synopsis for Madden NFL reads:
