Red Dead Redemption 2 on Nintendo Switch isn’t impossible, according to Nintendo. \u201cWe\u2019d love for it to be [on Switch],\u201d Fils-Amie says.<\/b>
\nWho wants Red Dead Redemption 2 Nintendo Switch to be a thing?
Nintendo has been increasing its third-party support for some time now, letting other developers port their triple-A experiences to Switch.
Even full-on FPS games such as Doom and Wolfenstein 2 have made their way to the portable machine, and Nintendo says there is more to come. In a recent interview, the Hollywood Reporter asked Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime if he\u2019d like Red Dead Redemption 2 on the Switch.
In his answer, there\u2019s no mention of the sheer size of the game \u2013 two discs on console \u2013 or the fact that the hardware likely isn\u2019t powerful enough to run the thing. Apparently, it all comes down to timing.
\u201cWe\u2019d love for it to be [on Switch],\u201d Fils-Amie says. \u201cBut again \u2013 and this is where there needs to be an understanding of just the development process \u2013 Red Dead has been in development for years, time that predated any communication of Nintendo Switch. So, from the developer\u2019s mentality, they need to move forward and finish the game they\u2019ve been working on and then be in a position to look at other opportunities.
\u201cAny game from a key third-party that\u2019s coming out now, typically that development started well before any conversations about Nintendo Switch. What happens moving forward? We\u2019ll see. But that\u2019s how you wind up with a situation with Red Dead not being available on our platform.\u201d
Saying all that, I never would have believed you\u2019d one day be able to play Vice City on a mobile phone when that was released.<\/p>\n
