Plants Vs Zombies: Neighborville Finally Arrives On The Nintendo Switch
If you're a fan of the Plants vs Zombies universe and you own a Nintendo Switch, you can finally combine the two for the best of both worlds. We first heard about plans to bring Battle for Neighborville to Nintendo's portable console earlier this year, and now the time has finally arrived with a special 'Complete Edition.'Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is the latest installment in EA's PvZ series; it was released in late 2019 for the Xbox One and PS4, as well as PC. Earlier this year, we learned that EA would bring the fun battle game to the Nintendo Switch, marking the first time fans can play a Plants vs. Zombies game on the console.
The game received its last update around a year after it launched, which is why Nintendo Switch players get a 'Complete Edition' of the game. This version includes the Battle for Neighborville game, as well as all of the post-launch content, a dozen prize maps, plus all of the content — including characters — that were released for the PS4 and Xbox One.
The game will be playable offline in addition to online gameplay. The new offering has the distinction of being EA's first title that utilizes the Frostbite engine with support for the Switch's various features, including touch screen and motion controls.
The Complete Edition, which is now available to buy for $39.99 USD, eliminates any currency or premium store for cosmetic items and instead makes them all available for players to unlock. In a statement about the release, PopCap Vancouver producer Melvin Teo said:
Our fans have been asking for a Plants vs. Zombies game on the Nintendo Switch and we're happy we're able to finally deliver that to them with the Complete Edition. The updates we've made to the game and controls makes for a great experience and now Nintendo players can join in on the fun, quirky and humorous gameplay, whether they're on the go or connected to a big screen. We guarantee that the battle between flora and undead will keep them engaged for hours.
