To understand why there is no Prototype 2 Nintendo Switch exclusive, you have to understand the tragedy of Radical Entertainment.

After Prototype 2 failed to meet Activision’s sales expectations (selling roughly 500,000 units in its first month in North America versus Call of Duty’s millions), Activision gutted the studio. In 2012, Radical Entertainment was downsized from over 200 employees to a skeleton crew of about 15. The rights to Prototype went dormant. prototype+2+nintendo+switch+exclusive

In 2023, Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard threw the rights into further limbo. While Microsoft owns Prototype 2, they have no incentive to release a physical or digital exclusive for their direct competitor, Nintendo.

An exclusive demands a contract: "Nintendo pays Activision to keep this game off PlayStation." Considering Prototype 2 originally launched on PlayStation 3, why would Nintendo pay for a decade-old game that wouldn't sell consoles? They wouldn't.

Word on the street: Prototype 2—the 2012 open-world action classic—has been conspicuously absent from the Nintendo Switch library. Despite Xbox, PlayStation, and even PC backward compatibility, the chaotic shapeshifting sequel to Prototype has never mutated onto Nintendo’s hybrid console. But what if it did? And what if—instead of a simple port—Activision and Nintendo collaborated on a "Prototype 2+ Nintendo Switch Exclusive"? | Challenge | Solution | |-----------|----------| | RAM

While no official announcement exists, the persistent demand for mature, open-world exclusives on Switch has fueled speculation. Could a definitive, Switch-exclusive version of Prototype 2 finally happen? This article explores why it should, what features an exclusive version could offer, and how it would fit Nintendo’s evolving library.

Nintendo has successfully courted mature third-party exclusives before—Bayonetta 2, No More Heroes 3, and Astral Chain all found homes on Switch. Yet the console lacks a true, gritty, sandbox superhero/villain simulator. Prototype 2’s blend of brutal combat, fluid movement (gliding, wall-running, vehicle-throwing), and morally gray storytelling would fill a unique niche.
