It’s been another bumper year for the Nintendo Switch, as this hybrid device slowly creeps towards the 100 million units sold club, a prestigious little party currently occupied by iconic consoles like the PS2, the Game Boy, and the Nintendo Wii and DS. This means it’s a great time for developers to bring over some of their classic series. I mean, there’s a huge audience here folks, so why not?
In the last year, we’ve had a few high profile series finally make the jump, with fantastic ports of Borderlands, Bioshock, and X-COM. We also got the wonderful Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, bringing skateboarding action in all its glory to Nintendo Switch. We even got Grand Theft Auto games on Switch, but to be honest, the less said about those monkey’s paw ports the better.
Importantly though, as we head into another year, it’s a fresh opportunity for developers to bring their classic games over to a system with a healthy audience of hungry gamers. Classic titles can run fantastically on Nintendo Switch, especially with the recent OLED Model, a lot of legacy games have never looked better. Playing Final Fantasy X HD on an OLED is a dream come true. So let’s put out some guesses, beg the universe for even more gaming goodness, and ask for some of our favourite franchises to finally make the jump to Nintendo Switch.
