The Windows Phone marketplace may have grown to more than 80,000 apps, but publishers still routinely overlook Microsoft's non-native mobile OS in favour of iOS and Android.
That's slowly changing, though, and EA has announced that some of its biggest gaming franchises will now appear on Windows Phone, including FIFA, Madden NFL, NBA Jam, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, Mirror's Edge and Yahtzee.
Things can only get better
These won't be the first EA titles to hit the Windows Phone marketplace - Tetris, Monopoly, The Sims 3, and the Need for Speed series are already available - but the announcement suggests that the publisher has more confidence in the Windows Phone platform.
Or perhaps a deal with Microsoft and/or Nokia, as the case may be.
The good news follows on from Rovio's announcement that it's forming a dedicated team for Windows Phone development.
