What is stopping any gta from going to the switch or any Nintendo console? I can play gta on my phone but not on Nintendo consoles, so the answer would be "pride" you know, because of the past... and the other answer "we don't give a shit about Nintendo" They treat PC gamers as second class citizen, but at least they treat them. |
It's clearly not pride, given they made a brand new GTA entry for the DS (a very good one too). I think for the most part they just don't consider Nintendo releases worth it, and i can't blame them. Making a dedicated title for the 3DS or WiiU likley wouldn't be worth it, and GTA5 is a hard sell too. It wouldn't have run on the 3DS at all, and the WiiU had a small install base mostly composed of Nintendo fans.
GTA6 isn't 100% impossible, but also unlikely. The Switch needs to be successful, show its install base are open to 3rd party releases, and Rockstar be willing to re-engineer the entire game to work on the Switch's portable mode (which would be interesting, since the raw gap between the portable Switch and a PS4 is almost a full generation jump).
