GTA Trilogy on Nintendo Switch: 5 reasons to play the three classic titles on the hand-held platform

1) Three of the best games in the series

The GTA Trilogy comprises Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. Each of these titles offers fun gameplay, intriguing storylines, well-written characters, and never-ending entertainment. Although technologically inferior to modern releases, it is the success of these titles that paved the way for games like Grand Theft Auto 5.

Since this is a portable gaming console, owning the trilogy on the Nintendo Switch will not only allow access to these great games but also let gamers play them anywhere. There are rumors about a Nintendo Switch 2 coming soon, but it is yet to be officially confirmed.

2) A different experience

Most gamers have either played Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas on a PlayStation, Xbox console, or on a PC. It is only recently that these titles have become available on the Nintendo Switch, and the hand-held nature of this console can make for a unique playthrough.

While Android and iOS ports for the original games are available on their respective app stores, the titles' Switch versions have updated graphics, and the device's dimensions seem perfect for hand-held gameplay. Therefore, playing the trilogy on the Nintendo Switch should be a very different experience for Grand Theft Auto fans.

3) The only Grand Theft Auto games on Nintendo Switch

The titles in the GTA Trilogy are the only Grand Theft Auto games available on the Nintendo Switch. Thus, these three titles are the only options available to anyone who wants to play games from this franchise on the popular hand-held device.

While there are many other games like GTA in Switch's library, nothing offers quality quite like Grand Theft Auto. Although fans have been demanding Rockstar Games to add more entries from the series to the platform, no such plans have been announced yet.

4) Can make the wait for GTA 6 a little more fun

The latest title in the series is Grand Theft Auto 5, but it is not available on the Nintendo Switch. Therefore, Switch players should pick up the remasters of these classic titles while waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6. These games are incredibly fun and can keep one busy for a long time.

Rockstar recently announced that the first GTA 6 trailer will be out in December, but its release date is still a mystery. Hence, playing the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy on Switch should make the wait for the sequel a little more fun.
