We've been keeping our sights on Sniper Elite V2 Remastered on Switch since it was announced. Amidst all the whizzbang run and gun shooters out there, Sniper Elite is more methodical and requires a bit more thought than 'which of my guns shoots the most bullets?'.
So when Rebellion asked if we wanted to do a sponsored video looking at some of the unique features in this remastered version for the Switch, we thought that sounded splendid, so we did it. That's why you're able to read this right now.
So if you want to see more of what makes the Switch version of Sniper Elite V2 Remastered special, give that video up there a quick nosey, and let us know what you think of the game in the comments below.

Be careful who you sponsor
There was a comparison for this game with the X360 version. Switch version had the worst textures, how is that possible, can someone reply?
I was wondering when the Sniper series was going to end up on the Nintendo Switch. I've been wanting to try one of these games for a long time now.
Wow, you are embarrassingly bad at that game.
It's sniper elite, not run around like a fool elite. Stop trying to play Call of Honor : Medal of Duty and play the game like you are supposed to.
I wonder if Rebellion is just as pleased with the lousy grade you guys gave their re-imagined game in that review...
@StevenG I'm going to have to agree with your assessment, there.
@IHateTombs So when can I play Xbox 360 games on a portable? Until I got a handheld Xbox 360 it sounds like the Switch version has a clear advantage.
@ThanosReXXX This game isn't for everyone. It is the type of game that will get hated on by the twitch COD gamers and Fortnite/Overwatch gamers because it isn't designed around being an online multiplayer game and it isn't all about running n gunning.
Sniper Elite is probably one of my all time favorite action/shooter series and it is because of the way they design these games. They are made for people who want to explore levels and take a game more slowly and rely upon stealth, you gotta have some patience to really play this game right. These kind of single player focused shooters are what I love, I enjoy them far more than the online focused and fast pace pop culture games.
@IHateTombs Saints Row the Third is only 7GB, they reduced quality so it can fit in a 8GB cartridge. This is the reason why, not because Switch can't run PS3/360 games properly. In comparison, Hellblade is 18GB for a short linear game.
@IHateTombs You must have not been around for past portable consoles.
@JayJ They hate it because it requires attention to detail and not running around like you are 10.
Twitch games can be similar look at CS. Can you imagine if these poor kids had to play a game where a couple shots would kill them?
@JayJ Maybe not for everyone, but you're preaching to the choir here, seeing as we already agreed upon this being a rather good, if not great game. And the other article, the review about it, gives it a laughable grade.
Personally, I like a whole range of shooters, the older COD and Medal of Honor games, Battlefield, Halo, but also third person shooters like Gears of War and squad based shooters like Brothers in Arms and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare.
And Sniper was, in my opinion, actually just another welcome variation in the genre. All of the other games do have some sniper levels and/or elements, but always rather minimal, and I've always been attracted to that kind of gameplay.
What is the resolution?
