Desperados III Developer Says The Game Is Unlikely To Release On Current Nintendo Switch Hardware

It looks like Nintendo fans won’t get to enjoy Desperados III on the move with Nintendo Switch anytime soon.

During an interview with GamerHubTV, Mimimi Games’ head of design Moritz Wagner commented on the possibility of a Switch port for the tactical stealth adventure. Unfortunately, Wagner admits that such a version is unlikely to happen – mostly because they had trouble getting it to work on the Nintendo Switch’s current hardware. He adds later on that it might be possible in the future…but only if Nintendo released a more “powerful” Switch.

Take a listen for yourself (video starts at 23:39 below).

“So, we love the Switch as well. Especially our boss – he’s a big fan.

I don’t think it’s gonna work. We have been trying this for quite some time. It’s something that’s always coming up again. Sometimes THQ’s like: ‘Well, we could have these people look into it. Maybe they could make a port.’

The thing is: the game is very demanding, especially on CPU – which is a big problem for the normal consoles already. Like, getting this game running…

…I don’t think that it’s gonna happen. I hope that it might at some point happen. We’re always reevaluating if something new comes up. But the game just doesn’t really run.

Maybe if there’s a new version of Switch that is a bit more powerful, it’s something that we can look into again. I’m not quite sure if they’re currently looking into something, but not in the near future, sadly.”
