Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning is the best non-Zelda action-RPG of all time. When it was released on the Xbox360, it was ignored because it was considered a Skyrim clone. The game is much better than Skyrim, featuring excellent combat, a beautiful open world to explore, and the overall design and story by R. A. Salvatore, one of the best fantasy novelists of all time. Finally we had a real writer working on a videogame, and it showed!
The game has just been re-released for the XboxOne and PS4, and it is being ignored again, because that audience isn't interested in this type of game. The producers don't understand that this sort of game belongs on Nintendo consoles. Playstation and Xbox are good for dystopian games that focus on blood, gore and darkness, such as Final Fantasy, Dark Souls and God of War. Amalur, on the other hand, has a world that is a utopia, not a dystopia, and has an overall positive feel as in the Zelda games.
Am I the only person who would like to see this game on the Nintendo Switch? I've already beaten it, but I'd play it again in handheld mode. I believe it would be a big success if it were made available to the right audience, and Nintendo fans would eat this game up. Perhaps if other people left their thoughts here, the developers would see the light and port it. Thoughts? Am I crazy for thinking this?
I enjoyed the game when it originally released. But if THQ Nordic didn't announce it for Switch at the same time they announced the PS4 and Xbone versions, then they probably aren't bringing it to the Switch ever.

I would buy this if it came over to the Switch. This kind of game is easier to play on the switch, long play times mesh well with not being tethered to the tv.
they say that life’s a carousel, spinning fast you’ve got to ride it well. The world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams. It’s heaven and hell.
I mean, i would like to play it on switch, seems interesting and i have never played it. But it is probably an utopic thought, that leaving comments on here will somehow convince or even reach the developers of this game.

I'm overjoyed at the amount of passengers I'm seeing here on the glorious, legendary Kingdoms Of Amalur Switch Hype Train! I'm sure the game's developers will look at our fervent dedication and be inspired to release it on the Switch! Success is just around the corner!
My entire experience with this game is listening to the soundtrack once. If the actual game is even remotely as good, then I fully believe the hype for it.
I knew that this hype train and its heroic passengers would lead to a Switch release for this excellent game. It has just been announced that in mid March the Nintendo Switch will get a port of the greatest action RPG of all time!
Many evil-doers tried to derail our audacious hype train, but they've now been vanquished! Amalur lives on!!!
Yea, it's definitely a fun game and worth a buy for me, especially if I don't fill that timeframe with Bravely Default. I had a lot of fun with it on the 360, but I never finished it because it's just one of those massive games that eventually exhaust me lol
Physical preorders are up on AmazonNA. Color me surprised. This game is over 30GB on PS4. I hope THQ Nordic did a really good job with the compression and customers aren't forced to download a significant chunk of the game for this physical release? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08T46R9DK

Haha I'm reminded of the ancient pagans who did a sun dance in the winter and were really pleased with themselves when the spring returned.

No-one thought it was a Skyrim clone. It just came out about 2 months after Skyrim, and basically everyone in the gaming world was still playing Skyrim religiously at that time, so it didn't really get much attention.
It still sold OK though. The publisher at the time just had ridiculously high sales expectations for it, that they really had no justification for.
Take a victory lap, sir. They called you crazy. They told you to buy a PS4 and quit dreaming impossible dreams. But you held out, and now we have official confirmation of Kingdoms of Amalur coming to the Switch.
