However, this trend recently dropped away, and even though Take-Two recently acquired a dedicated mobile developer, there has been no news about Rockstar courting smaller screens in the near future beyond the announcement of L.A.

Rockstar was once a top supporter of the portable gaming scene, with the 'Stories' line of PlayStation Portable games, as well as titles released on mobile and Nintendo's other handhelds. However, all this discussion of porting successful GTA games to the Switch brings with it the question - could a mobile GTA game be developed for the Switch exclusively, like GTA Advance was for the Gameboy and the beloved Chinatown Wars was for the DS?

Bully was always a niche title with a cult following, meaning it is more likely to find success on the Switch, which amounts to a core gaming platform, as opposed to the mobile market which is as mainstream as they get.

Since the games have already been ported to mobile, making the jump to Switch with a new coat of paint would most likely be a grand success, and easy too. If a mid-range smartphone can run GTA: San Andreas, you can bet the Switch can do so happily too.

Let's get the obvious out of the way - with the massive hype around the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2, making a port of the previous game for the Switch would be a massive money maker.
