EA may consider itself a partner for Nintendo Switch, but you won't see its Titanfall franchise on the machine anytime soon.
Speaking to YouTube channel Drunk Tech Review, Respawn Entertainment senior designer Mohammad Alavi was emphatic in response to a question about whether a Titanfall 2 port to Switch was possible:
"No. F*** no. No you're not going to be able to fit Titanfall on it. That's the same Zelda from the Wii U [laughs]."
Alavi compared the Switch to its home console predecessors, and their inability to sustain AAA third-party interest:
"I was excited about it, because Nintendo's been in such a niche market recently like, you know, catering to the handheld [market] and - I'm going to be honest with you - the kids. They've been so underpowered that they don't have the support of the third parties, because they're all making for PC, Xbox One and PS4, and [Switch] is no different!"
It marks the second major shooter franchise to rule out a Switch port this week. On Monday, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said he doesn't see Borderlands 3 coming to Nintendo Switch because the console manufacturer has "other priorities".
