Don't get your hopes up about a Nintendo Switch version of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Eidos Montreal lead game designer Heath Smith tells GameSpot that the studio has "no plans" for a Switch edition of the new action-adventure game.

Smith said Eidos Montreal is putting all of its effort and focus on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. He added that he is a personally a big fan of Nintendo's hybrid console, but it wasn't the right fit for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, at least not right now.

I just wonder how much more successful the switch would be if it wasn't so weak and could run most AAA 3rd party games . Y Nintendo didn't make it more powerful I'll never understand

@spectrexr1: Because they'd have to price the system more, or they could take a loss, but Nintendo never takes a loss on hardware.

@JustPlainLucas: price it more .it's over priced now I think for what it offers . It's as much as a Xbox or PS4 and doesn't do half of what they do . I think your right they put that cheap stuff in there so they can make money on the hardware and they knew people would buy they products cause they Nintendo.

I would think if the Switch could pull off Doom (2016), it could pull this game off. Then again, I have no technical expertise when it comes to GPU capabilities so there's that.

@lionheartssj1: that's because the doom and Wolfenstein game engines are very scalable . They could prob run those games on a Gameboy lol .
