"5pb. announced that the Nintendo Switch version of Steins;Gate Elite will come with a bonus code for a Famicom-style retro version of Steins;Gate that will let you explore the story in an 8-bit Akihabara."

I'll be legitimately upset if we don't get this 8-bit thing.

How that SteamWorld Heist Ultimate Edition differs from SWH with DLC.

@Ralizah That's an awesome bonus. I hope we get it as well. I haven't played Steins;Gate before since it hasn't been available for Nintendo consoles but I've watched the anime and read the manga. This will be my first time experiencing the game although it isn't the original version.

Will it be in English? The show was pretty good.

@Caldorosso-E I would expect it to be localized, as I'm pretty sure Steins;Gate did well overseas.

NISA has announced Fallen Legion: Rise of Glory for the Switch, coming in 2018. It combines Fallen Legion: Sins of an Empire and Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion into one package.

Anybody bought gorogoa yet?

Game looks dope

I'd be a hard fit for the Switch, but Garogoa is on my Steam Wishlist (hint hint) /s.

EDIT: I stand corrected! It's already on the Switch, lol.

People are going to be disappointed if this is true.

Still think it's a matter of time. Who knows when they decided to go all in if they're even fully there yet.

Also worth noting that Liam Robertson doesn't exactly have a shining reputation when it comes to accuracy. None of these leakers do.

So just hope for the best, prepare for the worst! When's the event?

@Caldorosso-E Already happened. It was a private press event

So yeah. That event....was....a thing?

Just gotta wonder what the point of it is, sharing things solely with the press and not...you know...people buying games...

Also this may sound weird but regarding Pokemon, I wouldnt object to the first Switch game being a remake. It'd take less time away from developing a HD engine when they dont need to design a new world, story and Pokemon.

@YummyHappyPills Trying to get them on side perhaps with "free" gifts and stuff like that.

Well it's Bandai Namco. Maybe they asked the press to show them they want the games on Switch and they consider it.

Considering that Bandai Namco only recently announced proper support for the Switch, I struggle to see why anyone would think they would have suddenly a line up of games to announce for the system. Chances are we won't hear from them for a little while yet because they are still figuring out what to port over to the system.

I also don't think Dark Souls will come to the Switch, even if From Software did manage to get the game running on the hardware. I think that is likely seeing what the hardware could handle more than actually looking to port the game, or else it would have been announced by now.

@FragRed What boggles my mind though is FromSoftware was listed as making SOMETHING for Switch in January alongside Platinum (and we are hearing about them now).

What else would it be if not Dark Souls? Would Nintendo give them free reign with say, Murasame Castle?

@YummyHappyPills That is kinda why I don't think anything is coming to the Switch, it would have been announced by now. They also aren't the only name on that list of developers/publishers supporting the Switch who have yet to bother doing anything or even acknowledge the Switch despite the huge success.
