Topic: Worms W.M.D.

I'm not TOO excited for this, then again I haven't kept up with the recent games. I may get one of the newer games, but most likely on PC. That is, of course if the Switch version does support custom maps, because I enjoyed that in the older games. (all i did was slap a bunch of random anime girls in there so I could blow them all up for some reason. xD)

Does anyone know about custom maps thing, I kinda figured it would be a PC only feature.

From my understanding (and this is probably based on rough understanding from people at PAX) is that Switch has access to custom maps, but cannot make any itself. According to the question they're looking into it, but no promises of allowing Switch to do the same.

I really hope it can do this, I mean it has an SD card...USE IT, PEOPLE! xD

I am excited for the series to come regardless, and from what I am hearing it feels true to its roots for the most part.

What does throw me off is the new art direction. I'm not digging it.

Ehh, I kinda lost interest after Worms World Party. I've tried getting into a few of the more recent ones, but they haven't grabbed me.

Checked the game out on Steam, I dunno, visually it looks the same to me. xD

It's probably one of those "If you're die-hard, you'd notice it easily" sort of deals, cause I caught it almost instantly.

Ah well, looks fine to me. xD
Looks like the game I have is Reloaded.

Worms W.M.D is coming out next week on Thursday. File size is 4.6 GB and price is £19.99 / 29,99€ / $29.99. Source

Worms W.M.D not available in the coming soon section of the EU eShop yet.
4600 MB? Wow, they've come a long way from the 42MB Wii retail version.

Instead we have these:
2,1 GB Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today (Badland Games)
771 MB Stick It To The Man! (Zoink!)
155 MB Letter Quest Remastered (Digerati)
79,0 MB Soccer Brawl (Hamster)

It goes back even further than that - Worms on PS1 fitted easily onto a 650MB CD and prior to that on 3x880Kb floppy disks for the Amiga back in 1996. A simple icon image nowadays is larger in size than the original game! Those were the days!

Even further than the Wii's silly small 42 MB disc (You know, it was supposed to be a WiiWare port so it had to be 40MB max, but they couldn't release it on there because it was slightly more than 40MB so they put the small file on disc). I think Worms Armageddon on the N64 was like 8MB. And the Game Boy version was maybe 1MB.

Have been a fan of the series since 1, 2 and Pinball combo on PC. Have been waiting new Worms game with online net play since Warfare 2/DS. I have other games too that want to play on Switch, they can wait but not this. Very nice that Switch have already almost everything at least something for everyone, and this if anything is my thing

E: Already bought this. ^^

E2: Little slow, or is it just me after years and new game is always a new, if it is the game maybe an update do the trick - after all game is just released. Otherwise, very nice so far.

The game seems to already be out in Switzerland.
I thought they were talking about a 2pm gmt release but heh, if some fans were waiting for it, it may be here in you country too.

Already on Charts at eShop
: )

For anyone waiting for the physical release... it ain't happening now. Sorry to break the news to you all...

@antster1983 Bah, gutted. I was waiting for that. I hope Yoku is still releasing.

PS4 and Xbox one versions must have sold pretty bad @ retail.

It's on sale this week on eshop by the way

Ok I just got the physical a week ago and have just got round to it.
Is anyone else having massive loading lags?
Or is it because I have the physical?

I don't know about Switch WMD in particular, but none of Worms games I have played have ever been quick to load.
