'TItanfall 2' for Nintendo Switch not happening? Game developers reveal

The Nintendo Switch can be played while on the go.

Nintendo Switch will not be getting "Titanfall 2" because of the hybrid console's weaker hardware. The game is demanding with regards to rendering graphics and the developers believe the console cannot handle the load.

The Nintendo Switch was revealed recently and it shook the gaming world. It surprised fans with its capability of seamless transition between the home gaming mode and the mobile portable version through its own controller and screen which is disappointingly maxed out at 720p.

There are already several confirmed Nintendo Switch games such as new "Dragon Quest" titles and Ubisoft's "Just Dance" series. However, fans are disappointed with its lack of AAA games.

In a YouTube interview with Drunk Tech Review, which can be viewed below, "Titanfall 2" senior designer Mohammad Alavi said that the game will not be able to fit in the console. The console is underpowered compared to Microsoft's Xbox One or the PlayStation 4 from Sony.

The "Titanfall 2" sales figures are not as high compared to "Battlefield 1" or "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" but it was received well by critics, Attack of the Fanboy has learned. It is one of the underrated shooters available across the PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Nintendo has not yet disclosed the hardware behind the Switch, which is rumored to be the NVIDIA Tegra chip. It was able to run Bethesda's "Skyrim" but the game is already outdated in terms of graphics.

The Nintendo Switch will also get "FIFA" titles from Electronic Arts, Game Rant reported. Unfortunately, EA did not confirm whether there will be other AAA games such as "Mirror's Edge" or even Bioware's new "Mass Effect: Andromeda."

Nintendo Switch is scheduled to be released in the following weeks if there is no delay. The roster of games are still uncertain but more titles are expected to add up even after the official launch. "Titanfall 2" will not be one of them.
