I don't see it being simultaneous. Surely they need to finish the game, then hand it over to be ported. Can't see them delaying release just to wait for the Switch port to be ready.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@gcunit I pretty sure they have some Panic Button employees working side by side with the team creating the game. They won't give a release date till all versions are most likely ready.

@FragRed Cool interview. 60fps is a total unrealistic expectation for a game like this on Switch. If it runs at a solid 30 and doesn't experience big resolution dips, it'll be an absolute triumph of a conversion. And they'll most definitely be getting my money if the Switch version launches alongside, or in the same approximate release window as the other versions.
@Octane I assume someone at Nintendo did the accounts on costs and came to the conclusion that even if initial investment in R&D was to be high, the long term benefits from not having to pay for license fees etc would more than cover it. At least, I hope that’s what happened otherwise I scratch my head.
Pretty much. It does make me wonder what will happen with Netflix but. My understanding is that some titles on Netflix have a DD soundtrack. Will these still come through as PCM?
Not that it matters given I'll never use a Switch Netflix for that. But still. I'm curious how they handled that on Wii U.

I hope every high quality 360 era game gets ported to Switch basically.
Mass Effect and Bioshock Trilogies especially.
While these would be great to have, I think it's settling for less. Bethesda and Panic Button have shown multiple times whats actually possible on Switch and are now planning a simultaneous release for a brand new Doom. They've set the bar high; a lot higher than just settling for ports of last gen.
I don't necessarily disagree, but it isn't like those series have anything more relevant or newer to port to the Switch anyway. Also, I like the Switch being used as a 360 port machine, it's good for games to get a new audience, especially if they're really great. Disproves the idiotic "MUST MAKE A PROFIT IN 2 WEEKS OR IT'S A FAILURE FOREVER" logic some game companies try to use.
I know this is a slight change of subject but I don't want to open a new thread and have it immediately shut down
Anyway, has anyone tried Battle Chef Brigade? It's on sale and looks promising but I was looking to see what people thought of it. Any opinions are appreciated!
@Kimyonaakuma You could try the Switch recommendations thread, or, if there isn't already a specific thread for the game, then you have our permission to start one.

A few weeks ago I almost bought a Switch (ordered it on Amazon and then cancelled it at the last minute before it shipped).
The reason? A complete lack of any sort of standard online features that we've had since the Wii (web browser, Netflix, Virtual Console, etc). When I stepped back and looked at the big picture, what I really want is a portable all-in-one console for travelling. However, with these puzzling limitations I would have to bring another tablet-sized device (not to mention the other hardware issues the Switch has).
Also, for the time being the only Switch game that I'm really interested in is Breath of the Wild (which also happens to be on Wii U) so I might as well get it on that console (and have the ability to also back up my save).
Overall, I really like the concept of the Switch, and really hope Nintendo fixes these issues in the next revision, but right now it's missing too many features and has too many other small issues for me to want to get one right now.
Why does everyone want to backup saves so desperately? I appreciate the feature but I've never had the need to use it on any console. Do people break their consoles easily?

@Alber-san Sometimes save files can just become corrupted or you may accidentally delete it. Its happened to my Vita at least once. Its one of those things you prepare for in the hope it'll never happen.
@ReaderRagfish The difference here though is all games save to the system. If you lose said system or somehow bricks your saved data will still be in the cloud and can continue when and if you get a new one.
Ive lost all my data on my 3ds on a system transfer before. 1000's of hours just gone.
@GameOtaku Oddly that's how my data got corrupted.
Lol lol... sorry I don't mean to laugh at your misfortune, it's just... that's really freaking ironic lol
