Epic Games multiplayer title Fortnite has already found huge success on PC, PS4, and Xbox One but fans are eager for the game to come to Nintendo Switch as well. Many would love to enjoy the game's crafting, zombie-killing and battle royale gameplay on the go, using their Nintendo Switch to play Fortnite anywhere that there is an Internet connection.

One high profile Fortnite fan who would also like to see the game released on Nintendo Switch is Chance The Rapper. The Grammy-award winning singer, rapper, and producer took to Twitter earlier this week to let Nintendo of America know that he desperately wants to play the game on the Nintendo Switch. The one-sentence post has since garnered over 6,000 retweets and over 30,000 people have liked the post too.

The replies to Chance The Rapper's tweet are also inundated with messages from eager fans who agree with him and even a few games industry figures joined the calls for a Fortnite Nintendo Switch port.

Nick Chester, a PR manager at Epic Games suggested that he and Chance squad up and talk it over during a match of Fortnite Battle Royale, before Chance Ivey, an AR, and VR partnership manager at Epic Games joined in and put his name down for the squad as well. YouTuber Totalbiscuit and presenter (and Game Awards nominee) Andrea Rene also encouraged Chance The Rapper to get in touch with Epic Games higher-ups.

The enthusiastic replies to Chance's tweet make it clear that many people are interested in playing Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch, but what are the chances of it actually happening? Epic Games executive Donald Mustard has previously said that Fortnite will "hopefully" come to the Nintendo Switch, indicating that the company's top brass has at least considered developing a port.

Of course, there will be plenty of challenges and issues that will need to be worked out. For starters, Epic will need to decide whether it is going to release both Fortnite Battle Royale and its narrative co-op counterpart Save The World, or whether only Battle Royale would get the porting treatment. Epic would also have to figure out if it has enough resources in order to build a Nintendo Switch port; the decision to end support for Paragon will have freed some resources up but that still might not be enough.

Moreover, fans will want to know if Epic Games will still be able to keep up the current pace of Fortnite updates and if all patches and new content will launch on all platforms at once. If Epic Games is seriously considering a port then these questions will all be answered in due course, so watch this space.
