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.

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.

The Switch could use a solid Lord of the Rings game
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.
