Topic: Best FPS shooter on Switch

If you have any other console stick to those for fast paced online shooters as the switch doesn't have much choice.

Doom - not sure how easy it is to find games nowadays or how active the community will be due to its age. Will also have a steep learning curve as it will be the hardcore fans who have continued playing.

Overwatch - lots of visual glitches and was unplayable when I tried it, might have been patched but wouldn't recommend it for the entry price.

Warface - really downgraded over other versions but its F2P so worth giving it a shot and see how you find it.

Borderlands - amazing looter shooter but only really has 4 player PvE and I don't know how active the online is on switch.

Bioshock and Crysis - amazing games but no online.

I doubt we will see a CoD on Switch, they are focusing on Warzone and the switch just couldn't handle it. I doubt it be worth the development time to port to one system with a limited player base.

@Knighty_IX thanks for the suggestion, I forgot this game existed. I might redownload this game and give it another go. I think I deleted it as I was running out of space at the time.

I'll throw Superhot into the mix. It's a bit of an oddball one to play but you don't have do take a massive graphical hit to play on the Switch.

@Knighty_IX seems an interesting alternative to COD. I’ll give it a “shot” for sure

I'm so confused why they didn't just release call of duty black ops "deluxe". Sadly if there was local wireless play I'd buy at minimum 4 copies. Perhaps 8 copies if I lost my mind and bought some more switches.

@sixrings Probably because CoD has sold historically badly on Nintendo systems compared to other consoles in the case of all the Wii ports as well as BO2 and Ghosts on Wii U

For the Wii they basically had to make call of duty from scratch. In this case they could easily port either the 360 version of black ops or modern warfare. In regards to their Wii u sales well everyone got burned on that console. That doesn't mean you stop porting games forever.

@Slowdive bulletstorm is an amazing shooter but is missing most of the modes on Switch, there's pretty much just the campaign available.

I dont know why they removed the Anarchy and Echoes modes - i didn't realise these weren't included when I bought it and was really pissed off getting shafted

@Bevinator Warface is very active and free to download! The 10 minute "Free For All" mode is incredibly fun, I play it a lot.

@Clyde_Radcliffe sounds promising, is the free for all mode like a solo death match mode?

@Bevinator Yeah that's right, you just have to get as many kills as possible within 10 minutes and when someone kills you you respawn at a random safe place. And then there's a ranking at the end of where everyone came and you all vote for the next stage like in Mario Kart online.

There's a bunch of other modes like Battle Royale, Bag and Tag etc too but I've not tried them yet.

@GuardianOfTime Just noticed NL had this round-up of best FPS games on the Switch in august. Void Bastards is in it, which I've been tempted to get, myself. I know I'm late with this recommendation. You can disregard, if you've seen the game or best-fps-games-on-switch page.

Erm guys, am I going mad or has Serious Sam disappeared from the EU eShop? It was in my wish list and was available to preorder the other day, I was on the fence so didn't preorder. Anyways, it's supposed to be out and I just got an email from Nintendo saying it's out, so decided to buy it and the page is no where to be seen!?

Edit: Just checked the game's page on my phone and it says it's not available to purchase in my country. Wtf? I was looking forward to it all day

@faint yeah you’re probably right, must have stung a bit. I imagine they will come around in the end though. Surely there is some money to be made from a COD on the switch as it’s no Wii u 😂 business usually follows money

Seriously. The Wii U was a bomb, but Switch isn't and third party games are acually selling this time. Boggles my mind Activsion is still sitting on their hands about this when they used to somehow stuff CoD games into the Wii. The freeking Wii!!

@judaspete They used to put CoD on Wii only because it was the most successful platform despite the fact there was an extremely unproven playerbase for hardcore FPS games on there. The Wii and DS versions of these games probably made up about a fraction of what the games sold on literally every other platform. The Switch likewise, is super successful but Activision has probably realized that literally no one is going to buy a Nintendo console for CoD at this point, especially after Black Ops II and Ghosts on Wii U made up for like 1% of the game's total sales and a similar story was probably the case for the MW games as well. Activision isn't the type who wants to appeal to the lowest common denominator with their more mainstream titles. The Switch actually has an audience for stuff like Crash and Spyro by comparison

@judaspete I’m still hoping they decide to release a COD on the switch, you never know. It seems odd that they haven’t tbh.
