Modders Show Off GTA 5 Running on the Nintendo Switch
Modders have managed to accomplish what many thought was impossible – getting Grand Theft Auto 5 running on the Nintendo Switch. While it may not be the smoothest experience, it’s a testament to the capabilities of both the modders and the Switch hardware.
The GTA 5 Switch Experiment
The modders utilized the leaked source code of GTA 5 to breathe new life into the game on the portable console. Despite some performance issues like choppiness and occasional crashes, the visuals remain surprisingly solid. This experiment showcases the dedication and creativity of the gaming community in pushing boundaries and exploring new possibilities.
Rockstar’s History with Nintendo Consoles
Rockstar has a mixed history when it comes to bringing their games to Nintendo platforms. While they recently ported the GTA Trilogy to the Switch with some success, the official GTA 5 for Switch remains uncertain. Perhaps the success of modders could inspire Rockstar to consider an official port in the future.
The Stellar Blade Controversy
Meanwhile, in Japan, EA’s Stellar Blade faces less censorship compared to the recent Dead Space remake. The game’s bloody action sequences have raised questions about the rating system’s inconsistencies. Fans are eager for clarity on why certain games face stricter regulations while others get a pass.
