In our Dreams: Rockstar Games
Alright, Rockstar Games hasn’t been confirmed for supporting the Switch, but you couldn’t hope for a bigger third party developer. If Nintendo could gain the support of the studio, it’d be a huge win for their new platform. Rockstar doesn’t exactly fit the family friendly idea that Nintendo strives for, but with titles like Skyrim and No More Heroes on the way, it seems like Nintendo is focused on providing engaging experiences for all age ranges.
Grand Theft Auto V, one of the best selling games ever made, would make for a fantastic Switch port, especially considering GTA Online is still getting updates. More importantly, however, is what Rockstar has coming up. Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most highly anticipated games of 2017, and it’s already looking impressive from just the teaser trailer. We don’t know how graphically intensive it is yet, however, something that could definitely factor into its Switch compatibility.
The list of companies supporting Nintendo is impressive, yes, but we really need to see them deliver. Nintendo can’t just be complacent with what they have either, they need to be constantly appealing to big developers like Rockstar to try and bring their software over to the Switch. If Nintendo really wants a strong showing for third party support, they’ll need to have titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 confirmed and on the way.
