Looks like you might be able to take your Rootin’ Tootin’ Cowboy Shootin’ on the road now.
Would you like a pinch of salt for this article? Because you should definitely take a big ol’ handful. Apparently images captured off the mega-store franchise Target’s website show images of a version of Red Dead Redemption 2 being ported to the Nintendo Switch. Along the top of the image is a banner with the expected Xbox and PlayStation logos, but also a little red block dedicated all to Nintendo and their device. To make things a little more interesting, the image was barely up as Target was quick to edit the post and remove the Switch banner from RDR2.
The big question
It’s highly possible that this was just some art that someone kinda screwed up and no-one noticed, but with Nintendo now beginning to welcome more mature games (like DOOM, Outlast 2, Payday 2 for just a handful of examples) into their usually family friendly catalogue and with the roaring success that RDR2 was, a port would probably rake in a lot of money for everyone involved. However, given the hardware restraints on the Switch it just seems highly unlikely that RDR2 would ever work. So consider these rumours very carefully before getting.
Also, a part of me would LOVE it if RDR2 was ported to Switch before PC. Irony and all that.

Rockstar isn’t very pro-pc.

Before getting what?! The suspense!

I would throw my toys out the cot like never before if the Switch ever got it before PC. That would be one of the dumbest decisions Rockstar ever made, unless Nintendo had thrown a ton of cash their way to bring it to the Switch.

I’d still but it, because at least it will be on PC!

I saw a video a couple days back of penguins flying.
I believe that more than this.

Can’t see this ever coming to PC. I saw an article that states something like 88% of R* revenue come from console. The first RDR never came to PC. PC players stuffed up GTA online immediately. RDR online is already a stuff up, No PC players required. And I also don’t know why pc players want it so desperately. Yes PC is more powerful but if you complain about the graphics of RDR2 on a pro or XBONEX you are just being a pretentious prick. It looks amazing even on the base consoles.You can pick up a second hand PS4 and the game for less than a mid range grafix card. Without a console you are missing out on some of the best games ever made! You’re just spiting yourself by only gaming on PC. Why not have both?
