[Old Report] Garden Warfare 2 for Nintendo Switch?
I am just here to say it would be an amazing thing to have on the Nintendo switch. There of course could be no internet, and I think EA can work around that. "Offline Mode" in the Backyard Battleground with no invite friends option. Also, can there be a Mario hat accessory for Imp if this is made :P
Unfortunately by the time the Nintendo Switch rolls around GW2 will be more than a year old, and while there is a slim possibility it could be ported despite that age and the fact that EA has sort of given up on the current generation of Nintendo hardware I think the one thing which couldn't be worked around would be a complete lack of any Internet connection. The game, in it's current build, absolutely must be able to communicate with the servers and can't function without that connection so there's no possibility of "portable gaming" with it; expecting that the game will be completely redesigned to remove the need to exchange information with the servers is probably wishful thinking and I don't see that level of development dollars being invested to port the game to a market which EA has found fairly disappointing in the past.
The biggest hurdle I'm seeing, based on the specs available for the Switch, if that fact that the Switch will seem to ship with only 32GB of HD memory and GW2 requires 40GB so you couldn't possibly fit the game on the system in the first place without expanded HD memory.
While the system hasn't been released yet I would probably discourage getting your hopes up at seeing GW2 finally come to a Nintendo system.
