First-Person Buddy Cop Shooter RICO Shoots Its Way To Switch Next Week

Looks cool, i will give it a try!

If this has PROPER motion (pointer) control... I will definitely get it.

Does anyone know?

@holygeez03 get house of the dead wii.

@jobvd
I played all of the "light-gun" games on Wii and PS Move. Ghost Squad (Wii) and Time Crisis (Move) were my favorite.

If you don't already know... Ghost Squad has a really good calibration and you can turn off the on-screen cursor... but you will need a gun peripheral with sights.

@holygeez03 haven't played ghost squad. Was that sega too?

I want a 60fps shooter on the system. A Borderlands port would be great.

@jobvd
Yes... and you should. It is an excellent light-gun game, but just FYI it does not have the story, gore, or profanity of House of the Dead... it is consists of a few somewhat short missions designed to be played multiple times.

@CurryPowderKeg79 it's Nintendolife they only give out 8's

I want this to be good.

i love the graphics!! Sad it does not have a campaign mode tho

I may not be Doom or Wolfenstein II, but this game does look like loads of fun.

I rather like this one and the Switch performance is not bad at all. I definitely recommend it. Sorry @holygeez03 as far as I can tell from what I played, there are is motion controls on Switch but I only tried it with the Pro Controller so I won't give you 100% sure on that.

I absolutely love their unfiltered description of their own game! It is pretty awesome, and this game is right up my alley. Assuming it scores at least a 7, I will be picking this bad boy up!

@holygeez03 Yes it does have motion controls, not as good as Splatoons but good enough

Watching gameplay online I’m worried. I LOVE fps but it seems as if you just enter rooms and kill people in slow mo basically. I guess I will wait for the review.

@BlackenedHalo There are cases you have to complete in 24 hours these act as a campaign with a grid map you can follow a certain path some are easy some are hard, you get tasks you have to complete such as x amount of headshots, clear so many rooms in slow time.

The game is a lot of fun and works great on the switch. As it is randomly generated maps there are some issues, a few times I have had evidence not register as being collected even though I have collected it forcing me to abandon the mission.

@Qwertyninty It's not all slow-mo, When you kick down a door or slide through it you enter a short time of slow-mo, the bad guys may kick doors down or if you stay in one place too long you will have reinforcements come at you

@Shiryu There are motion controls using the pro controller, I have been playing using my pro controller and they are there.

This is sounding even better as more information comes in...

How is the performance on Switch?

Dare I ask if it runs at 60 fps, especially in split-screen?

Looks cool and launches on my b-day! Meant to be!

This looks interesting, but I'm going to wait for reviews first.

Have been looking forward to this. Hopefully it reviews well.

Day one for me! Looks amazing, reminds me of Red Steel 2 and XIII, but ten times better.

@holygeez03 Not seen that mentioned once yet, It's and FPS with third person movement as far as i ama ware.

I'm interested!

The day before The Division 2 comes out. Talk about gaming suicide 🙄

First thought: Oh, this could be the great coop shooter Payday 2 unfortunately wasn't.

And then: Procedural levels. Download from the eShop. Okay, I'll pass.

It would be awesome if Microsoft would bring the first Crackdown on Switch. This would be a day one purchase for me and I'd buy a second one too for playing it in local multiplayer. Would be so much easier than setting up my Xbox 360's.

Watch the Youtube play through. Some enemies seem almost bullet proof at point blank range...

@Nintenhub Thanks for the heads up, I'm going back to it later tonight. ^_^

So, is this a rail shooter? Some of the description suggests it is, but then other parts suggest it's not. I'm looking for a rail shooter on Switch like House of the Dead on Wii or something like that.

Depending on the price, this looks to be interesting.

@Scollurio Here in NA its $20 digital and $30 physical.

Randomly generated ignorance. I like that. My wishlist is full ( damn), but I 'll keep an eye on it.

@CurryPowderKeg79 Actually reminded me more of the game XIII, but then with far better visuals. The "real life" theming also matches up better than Borderland's over the top sci-fi aesthetics, but I can understand why people would come up with that game as well, as a visual comparison, because of the cell-shading/comic-lined characters.

@Agramonte Kind of an irrelevant remark, seeing as The Division doesn't even have a snowball's chance in hell to be released on the Switch, and as such, it doesn't matter which game launches on which other console at the same time as this game does on the Switch...

@ThanosReXXX It is irrelevant to you if your gaming starts and ends with whatever is on the Switch. For the rest of us who own and play with people on multiple hardware - everything competes with everything for our time and money.

@Crillan not a rail shooter your free to move and clear rooms in any order you like

Are some of the devs from the original XIII team? It looks so similar.

If it’s 60fps then yes, 30fps = no thank you!

Day 1 Borderlands....no not Rico

Weird how the comment section is comparing this to Borderlands (which, yes please, I will buy BL2 for a seventh time if it comes to switch) but i'm getting more Left 4 Dead vibes with the co-op and random generation.

Left 4 Dead 1+2 remaster for Switch, plz.

@PhilKenSebben Sounds fine to me, thanks for Info!

@Agramonte I own various different consoles, but that still doesn't change anything about the fact that The Division is not now, nor ever going to be on the Switch, so using that as a comparison is rather useless. And Rico IS coming to the Switch, so if you're into this type of game, then why wouldn't you want to buy it on the Switch?

The graphics style means that there will probably not be that much difference between the various versions, and of course the Switch version has the added bonus of being able to take the game with you on the go. That obviously only matters if you actually do play in handheld mode, but still...
