Palworld boss says a Switch version ‘might be hard for technical reasons’ | VGC

It definitely is not an optimized game. It doesn't run really well on my ROG Ally, so I can't imagine trying to do it on a Switch.

The technical reasons including but not limited to "Nintendo told us to go fuck ourselves."

Would Nintendo even allow it?

Why not, they are one store front with prolific shovelware still.

I think Shadow is referring to Palworld's similarities to Pokemon. There had been a lot of tension over whether or not Nintendo would try to sue the Palworld dev, so it stands to reason that selling something so contentious on Nintendo's own platform might be a bit awkward.

What tension? Fans being stupid?

Nintendo is litigious yea, but there’s hundreds of emulators out there that haven’t been sued, they only sue people who do blatantly illegal stuff they can sue them for. What has palworld done that’s illegal?

Emulators are legal, so they leave the legal ones, they go after the ones perpetuating the illegal parks, like Yuzu.

Why is this even a question? Nintendo shouldn't have any say whatsoever on what people get to play on their own fucking hardware.

But they do because they control their developer ecosystem.

I agree that consoles should allow competing stores, but that's not the current reality.
