Are you ready for some football on Switch 2? After skipping the entire Switch generation, EA CEO Andrew Wilson has hinted that the Madden NFL series could return to Nintendo for the upcoming console. The last time an entry in the sports franchise released on a Nintendo platform was Madden NFL 13 on Wii and Wii U in 2012.

Wilson was found name-dropping the Madden and EA Sports FC franchises for Switch 2 during an earnings call earlier this week. "... Any time a new console comes into the marketplace, that's of a benefit to us," said Wilson. "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 [EA Sports] FC and Madden and others might find real energy on the platform as they have done in the past."

The EA Sports FC franchise--formerly bearing the FIFA title--has been a mainstay on Switch. The latest release was EA Sports FC 25 this past September. However, the soccer games released on Switch have been heavily criticized. Meanwhile, Madden has been a complete no-show. Overall, EA has been selective with support for Switch, with games like My Sims: Cozy Bundle, It Takes Two, and Apex Legends coming to the console over the years. Looking ahead, EA just teased the next entry in the Battlefield series while also introducing the community-testing program Battlefield Labs. There's been no mention of a Switch 2 release for it, though.

Immortals of Aveum is the big draw this month, as this first-person fantasy game is a fun combo of magic and action. Sadly, it didn't set the world on fire when it was first released, but if you're looking for a AAA single-player shooter that offers exciting challenges, tons of lore to explore, and breathtaking visuals, then you'll want to check out this underrated gem.

Another fun--and gory--FPS game available through Humble Choice this month is Trepang 2. It's a fast-paced shooter that lets you unleash an arsenal of powers against enemies, as you can utilize super-speed, intangibility, and super-strength to bulldoze your way through anything standing in your way. For something a little bit more cerebral, you can command ancient armies in Total War: Pharoah Dynasties, and Fabletown is a relaxing game where you can build the fairy-tale kingdom of your dreams.

Last month, director and actor Chris Carpenter launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring his vision for a Legend of Zelda fan film to life. Although the campaign was moderately successful and raised approximately $24,000, it also caught the attention of Nintendo itself. Now, the Kickstarter campaign has been suspended and the Zelda fan film is no longer happening.

Via Nintendo Life, Dio Traverso--one of the film's producers--confirmed on the Kickstarter page that the project has been shuttered and that no money will be collected from the campaign. He also thanked the film's supporters on behalf of Carpenter and the rest of their collaborators.

Carpenter had planned to step into the role of Link opposite A Series of Unfortunate Events' Avi Lake, who was cast as Princess Zelda. The movie was called Lost in Hyrule, and the story was set after Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask in order to bring that chapter of Link's adventures to a close.
