RUMOR: Witcher 3 coming to Switch according to French wholesaler

I'm in
Not gonna lie, I would buy a game that looks like that in a heartbeat.
Remenber this?
I doubt that will happen, but would be hilarious to see that GTA V, that is across gen game, and MGSV, that is another cross gen games, still didn't got ports, but witcher 3 did, lol!

Yeah, this.
PEGI 12? Fighting game? Namco Bandai and not Bandai Namco?
Don't believe it. Also, I doubt a massive game like The Witcher 3 could run on the Switch.
I mean, the game likely wouldn't run decently on the Switch anyway. It's strong for a portable form-factor, but it has its limits.
Probably in response to seeing the same rumour being discussed, I think.
The entirety of Witcher 2 would also fit on the tutorial area of W3
Doesnt reall make much sense to me, especially with hoe much of a chore it is to play that game.
It's going to take more than a 'little optimisation' to get a game like The Witcher 3 running on the Nintendo Switch. Maybe one day there will be acceptance that Switch just cannot run some games. Opitmisation isn't a Deus Ex Machina that completely forgoes cold hard specs.
Probably gonna use it as a warm up for the inevitable Cyperpunk port......................................lol.
Could be done on a 32GB cart with mandatory downloads.
This is stupid, though, the game is a technical mess, it's not going to be ported to the Switch with how much issues it has running in even PS4.
Witcher 3 can totally be ported to Switch but clearly it will be downgrade hell. It's not like the game is 60fps on consoles to begin with like Doom and Wolfenstein where halving the framerate can do most of the work. So significant compromises would need to be made elsewhere.
If it was to happen then it would be farmed out to an external developer for the port.
Right, but do we know for a fact that DFG's tweet was the first mention of it? Maybe someone else in his mentions discussed the thing before Direct-Feed Games tweeted about it.
wasn't it before the first rumors appeared ?
Anyway, if there is something giving any credibility to this rumour, it's the pixelpar tweet
Yeah this was my first thought. I read his tweet at 6 in the morning and came to Era to see all the takes and I saw nothing until now for this retailer.
I think it's definitely possible. DOOM and DOOM Eternal along with other notable games came over and are coming over.
GTAV will probably be coming once the game cards are more affordable. Don't expect MGSV because Konami. Neither of them have any bearing on a possible Witcher 3 port.
The "a little optimization" was in reference to what I did in the game settings on PC, not what a potential porting studio would do. Of course it would take a lot of work, much more work than just "optimization" but I still maintain it could be done. I guess maybe we'll find out.
No one has accesa to the elder magic, not even Panic Button, required to do this kinda port. But why the fuck not, I wanna see what would happen if someone tries. DQ11 looks pretty damn good, so why wouldn't this.
You can port a lot of things to a lot of things, technically, but the question is how much would need to be sacrificed to get it running on hardware in such a way that it fits the developer's vision and quality of acceptance. I'd wager that even if CDPR did port the game to Switch, it wouldn't be representative of the product that they spent so long making.
