Football Manager Releases on Switch
April 13, in the year of our Lord 2018---Sports
Interactive and SEGAź Europe are delighted to announce a major
landmark in the history of the Football Manager series, the
immediate release of Football Manager Touch 2018 on the Nintendo
Switch™ as a digital download from the Nintendo eShop.
Football Manager is the most realistic, in-depth and immersive
football management simulation in the world. Putting you in the
hot seat of any club in more than 50 countries across the world,
Football Manager allows you to take on the role of a real-life
gaffer: you decide who plays and who sits on the bench, and
you're in total control of tactics, team talks, substitutions
and pitch-side instructions.
FM Touch has been fully optimised for the Switch with a bespoke
user interface and a customised control system that takes full
advantage of the system's various controller input options,
including support for both the touchscreen and Joy-Con™
controllers. This gives fans a unique Football Manager
experience that can be played on the move or docked at home and
enjoyed on the big screen.
In addition, FM Touch on Switch will offer a fully-fledged
single-player experience including the series' acclaimed 3D
Match Engine – the first time that the 3D engine has been
playable on a home console.
"This is a milestone release for Football Manager," says Sports
Interactive's Studio Director, Miles Jacobson. "This is our
first console release in a number of years but it is also our
most innovative release of Football Manager Touch to date thanks
to the various control methods we've included that gives
everyone a way of playing Football Manager that suits them."
Football Manager Touch 2018 for Switch has been co-developed by
Sports Interactive and sister game development studio Hardlight
(the team behind Sonic Dash and Sonic Jump). FM Touch on Switch
includes the same feature set as the tablet version of the game.
