Should Switch owners buy EA Sports FC 27, 26, 25 or 24?

Switch owners should buy EA Sports FC 27 for this season's squads and FUT, and EA Sports FC 24 if they only want cheap offline matches. FC 27 carries over 21,000 licensed players, 800 clubs and 35 leagues, with Kylian Mbappé on the case. The Nintendo eShop lists about 29.8GB of free space needed on the original Switch.

Nintendo's own page states that The Grounds, including Clubs, is only on the Switch 2 version. EA Sports FC 25 and EA Sports FC 26 both cost KSh 7,000 (November 2026), so FC 26 is the better buy of the two. EA Sports FC 24 at KSh 5,500 (November 2026) carries 2023-24 squads. The trade-off: older editions miss new transfers, which football fans notice quickly.

Which Mario and Nintendo party games are worth buying?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe costs KSh 7,000 (November 2026) and bundles 48 race tracks, with up to 4 players on one console. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate costs KSh 7,200 (November 2026) and takes up to 8 local players. Super Mario Party at KSh 7,300 uses Joy-Con motion controls for board-game nights.

For solo play, Super Mario Odyssey costs KSh 7,500 (November 2026). Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury puts two adventures on one card for KSh 7,900 (November 2026). The trade-off: Nintendo's own games rarely drop in price, so they cost more than older third-party titles.

Which Pokémon and Zelda games can you buy for Switch in Kenya?

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet each cost KSh 8,500 (November 2026) and share the open Paldea region from November 2022. Pokémon Legends: Arceus, also KSh 8,500, lets you catch creatures by hand in ancient Hisui. Pokémon Sword costs KSh 8,500 and Pokémon Shield KSh 7,800.

For Zelda, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and its sequel Tears of the Kingdom each cost KSh 7,500 (November 2026). The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening at KSh 7,700 is a 2019 remake of the 1993 Game Boy game, shorter and gentler for younger players. The catch: all three Zelda games are single-player.

Is it still worth buying Switch games in 2026?

Yes, Switch games are still worth buying in 2026 if you own a Switch, Switch OLED or Switch Lite, or plan to move to a Switch 2. EA Sports FC 27 still came out on the original Switch. Some new games have skipped it, though: Nintendo Everything reported that NBA 2K27 has no Switch 1 version.

Nintendo says most original Switch games play on a Switch 2, though some titles may not be fully compatible. Our Nintendo Switch 2 games guide covers the newer console's shelf. The catch: a Switch card on a Switch 2 does not gain Switch 2-only modes.
