Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super glad they took it to Nintendo. The graphics on the Switch 2 are wonderful. The only downside is that it uses a lot of battery. Playing consistently, a full charge will go down to under 40% if I play for a little over an hour. Technically, that’s good but a little annoying.

Straight foward, normal Madden nfl game. Got Sean McDermott as my head coach!

Must pick up to add to your switch 2 collection if your a fan of Madden or sports. Fun to play online and with friends. Great to have Madden back on Nintendo and looks great docked or handheld mode.

I enjoyed playing the game on the switch 2 my favorite team is falcons Atlanta

Bringing the NFL to the Nintendo Switch 2 with Madden 26 is something we have been waiting for. Realistic game play, sounds, & strategy really comes alive on the Switch 2. Endless hours of challenges & play

Madden 26 on the new Nintendo Switch 2 completely exceeded my expectations. The graphics look sharper than ever, and the gameplay feels incredibly smooth thanks to the Switch 2’s upgraded performance. My 5-year-old has fallen in love with it — he’s learned how to call plays, celebrate touchdowns, and even recognizes some of the players now! What I really like is how accessible it is for both kids and adults. The controls are easy to pick up, but the game still delivers that classic Madden realism and strategy that longtime fans expect. We’ve been playing side-by-side in handheld mode and then docking it to finish a game on the big screen — the transition is seamless. If you’re a football fan or just want a fun, family-friendly sports game, Madden 26 on Nintendo Switch 2 is an absolute win. It’s brought a ton of excitement (and a few touchdown dances) to our living room!

Madden NFL 26 finally delivers the full Madden experience Nintendo fans have been waiting for... and it absolutely shines on the Switch 2. From the moment kickoff hits, it’s clear this is not a watered-down port. The game runs smooth, looks sharp, and feels responsive, with player movement, animations, and physics that are miles ahead of previous handheld iterations. Passing arcs feel precise, cuts are crisp, and defensive reactions feel smart and impactful. Visually, Madden 26 is impressive on Switch 2 hardware. Stadiums are lively, lighting is dynamic, player models are detailed, and broadcast-style presentation makes each game feel like Sunday football. Crowd reactions, commentary, and replays all add to that authentic NFL atmosphere. Gameplay-wise, this is one of the most balanced and satisfying Maddens in years. The new mechanics reward football IQ... reading defenses, timing routes, managing stamina, and making smart adjustments actually matter. Whether you’re grinding Franchise mode, building a squad, or jumping into quick games, everything feels polished and intentional. Modes are robust and intact. Franchise is deep and engaging, on-the-field strategy feels meaningful, and the ability to take Madden on the go without sacrificing quality is a game-changer. Being able to dock at home or play handheld without losing performance is exactly what fans hoped for. Most importantly, Madden 26 on Switch 2 feels respected... like Nintendo players are finally getting the same premium experience as other platforms. Bottom line: If you love football and own a Switch 2, Madden NFL 26 Standard Edition is an easy recommendation. It’s smooth, authentic, feature-rich, and genuinely fun. This is the Madden that proves handheld NFL gaming can be taken seriously... and it sets a strong foundation for the future.

I was happy to hear Madden coming back to Nintendo after years nothing. Its great to have this portable and on the go anywhere. Graphics look pretty good. Has everything the other platforms have. Yes it has some stuttering but to me doesn't affect game play. I played version on Xbox Series X and it stutters too. So im sure a patch can fix some of it. Have not played online but has option and watched some YouTuber's and online seems good. I wished EA would have put game on keycard which would have saved over 50GB of space! Overall i am enjoying it.

This version of Madden is great if you want to play handheld and offline which is what i bought ut for. I believe the PS5 and Xbox versions are a better option if you want a big screen, online experience as graphics are better on those consoles. Overall couldnt be happier with playing Madden handheld and being able to take it on the go!

The game graphics are surprisingly good for this system port, but not perfect. There are a lot of glitches at times, and the game is really hard to learn and play. Like most games I wish the game came with an online tutorial or manual. I find myself constantly going to YouTube to learn how to play a game.

The game runs well in my opinion with a few stutters but not really in gameplay more-so in loading screens otherwise its a competent way to play the game on the go and has eveything the other consoles have, only thing is some glitches not present in other versions but it has no glitches where xbox or Playstation do.

Great game on the go! Im able to take this game everywhere i want. The graphics are good and game play is not bad either.

Love the game. Nice that you could take it with you every where. Nice graphics

The game download exceeds your system storage capacity. Other than that, they made madden portable.

Great graphics, looked like we were watching a real football game, my kids loved playing this game they played all Christmas Day, I’m so glad they finally made Madden football 2026 for the Nintendo switch 2 game, we’ve been waiting patiently for it to arrive and it was well worth the wait, would definitely recommend to buy this game, I got it on sale at Best Buy before the holiday season began, it looks like it is still on sale at Best Buy. I would definitely recommend picking one up

Great game. Realistic and fun. Enjoyed playing the game and the different modes it offers.

I haven't played Madden since I had a PS2 so it's taking some getting used to. But the gameplay and graphics are excellent,couple glitches here and there during videos but not during gameplay. I've enjoyed it so far.

I’m glad that Switch 2 has Madden 26 so I can play it on the go. I don’t have to be at home playing the game. Great game and graphics.

I said I'd never buy another madden game unless it came to a handheld console and here it is on the switch 2 and i love it.

Great new presentation features and it's great to have a portable version of Madden for on the go. Not too noticeable slowdown in certain cutaway scenes, but given that this is the first time on the Switch 2, it'll only improve from here.
