With the upcoming Nintendo Direct in June would you be excited to see any of or all of the fallout series make it to the Nintendo Switch? If you do 1.)which titles, 2.)why them, and 3.) in what form? Conversely 4.)if you believe that fallout won't be on Switch why?

My answer to those questions would be 1). I'd love to see fallout 3 and fallout new Vegas. 2) the lore and world building those two fallout games provide are awesome and they are freaking huge games that have almost infinite replay value. 3) I'd like to see the fallout series in both a physical and digital release form.

4) You may have noticed that I neglected to mention Fallout 4 , fallout 76, fallout 1, 2, BOS (brotherhood of steel) and others in fallout series. The reason behind saying they probably wouldn't be on Switch (at least in the case of fallout 4 and 76) is that those 2 titles I believe are just too big (file size) to fit on the switch itself or on a SD card and would be too taxing on the hardware to run smoothly. Now it might be possible to have Fallout 4 or 76 on switch through a cloud based format such as SquareEnix recently did with Kingdom Hearts series but that would make fallout 4 and 76 unplayable for me due to internet limitations.

Do to the limitations and age of the switch I don't know if any FALLOUT games will make the system. I don't really know anything about fall out anyways.

Man, NV would be perfect on Switch, but it struggles to run even on Steam Deck.

I may be wrong on this, but would the early 3D Fallouts really be significantly more demanding than say Skyrim.

@theDLCguy that's what I am thinking, Skyrim runs just as good as it did on PS4 when I had a PS4 sure Skyrim ran a little better on my 16 GB laptop but it's a laptop so duh a game would run better than on a switch lol. Then look at the games that have released on switch that are similar in size and genre as fallout 3 and New Vegas an example would be The outer worlds, and upcoming games like Bayonetta 3, Xenoblade 3, no man's sky, among others I am blanking on.

I don't think the issue is could fallout 3 or new Vegas run on switch I know they could, but how well would it run? What sacrifices would Bethesda have to make to port fallout 3 or new Vegas to switch, frame rate of up to 30, having to display muddy or blurry visuals, lots of pop in, and would the die hard fans of fallout series (that's who would pay up to $60 for the ports) accept, tolerate, or like those sacrifices?
