Tales Of The Shire is perfect for Nintendo Switch

While PC, PlayStation and Xbox gamers will surely enjoy it lord of the rings –inspired name, Stories of the Region It seems to be a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch more than any other console. There are many reasons why this is the perfect game and console pairing, including:

Switch is a haven for cozy games

Since its initial release in 2017, the Switch has become strongly associated with cozy gaming. Animal Crossing: New Horizons and its villagers are standout examples, but other cozy titles that have found a home on the Switch include Disney Dreamlight Valley, Stardew Valley, Spiritfarer, and many others. Stories of the Region the adorable aesthetic and focus on tasks like home decorating, farming and cooking mean it has a lot in common with previous titles that have suited the Switch well.


His claims suggest he won't be delaying the switch

The Nintendo Switch has one unfortunate downfall: it sometimes had trouble handling more graphically or mechanically demanding games. However, Tales of the Shire's currently revealed features and minimum requirements seem to indicate that this will not be the case. It will only require 4GB of memory and doesn't need a top-of-the-line graphics card to run properly. Although the details of its performance on the Switch have not been confirmed, at this point it seems likely that the game will be able to run on this console without stuttering, lagging or losing any of its many features.


Life simulators benefit from the switch's mobility

Like New Horizons and Stardew Valley before that Stories of the Region promises to be the kind of game that players can immerse themselves in for hours at a time and easily get lost in all-day marathons. However, life simulators and task-oriented games such as Stories of the Region they also work well when played in short periods. It's easy to pick up a game like this, harvest a few crops or catch a few fish, and then put it down again. This is another area where the Nintendo Switch shines – it's extremely portable and mobile so gamers can enjoy themselves Stories of the Region and similar games on the go.

Previous lord of the rings –themed games were often large, graphically demanding affairs that didn't find a home on the Nintendo Switch. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum saw a Switch release but received negative reviews citing both gameplay and performance. Another recent game, Return to Moriait didn't come out on Nintendo Switch at all.


Tolkien fans have been clamoring for a Switch game set in Middle-earth for some time now Stories of the Region looks like it will finally deliver. If the game succeeds on the Switch, it's even possible that players could see themed additions such as Stories of the Region JoyCons or controllers that allow fans to truly channel their inner hobbit as they use their Switch to live peacefully in the Shire.
