Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly and I don't get the picture you're referring to, but let me try... I don't find it embarrassing that they cancel a game, but that they try to announce like it's totally good news. People are not that stupid...

@NEStalgia I think it would be cool to see someone from Arms in there but like I said I think it's unlikely to happen. I don't know how Sakurai goes about taking characters and making them ready for Smash but I imagine extendable arms would make for hard work to balance. Hopefully the man can make it happen because it would be cool and it would help further promote Arms which is a great game I've really enjoyed and would love to see it have more exposure.

@toiletduck I think you're missing the irony of Ubisoft's E3 history. "Embarrassing" is pretty much a synonym of Ubisoft at this point. The picture is Ubisoft's E3 show from last year. Embarrassing is par for the Ubisoft course

Safe to say DOOM Eternal wont come to Switch since it runs on IdTech 7.

@Knuckles-Fajita They just announced it so shut [removed] up already!

@GrailUK Please mind your language!

Also, what's DOOM Eternal? DLC or sequel to DOOM? I guess that was a QuakeCon thingy?

Sequel

@Octane Gah sorry. Just certain folks incessant belittling really grinds my gears occasionally. Ahem. Anyhoo. Doom Eternal is a sequel. Hell on Earth if you will...but they showed off more locations Looked incredible, with grappling hooks and destructible armour...

@GrailUK Well shut me up then. Figured they wouldn't have support in

@Knuckles-Fajita You couldn't make that up.

@Nintendoforlife I just saw the new engine, which takes years to make, how it looked, and the lack of a date as "Well thats not happening".

But low and behold here we are. What's interesting is I noticed blood splatters etc. are a lot more solid which actually makes downgrading easier.

Haven't started the single player of DOOM yet (only played online) so getting DOOM Eternal seems pointless at this point in time. Still, nice to see Bethesda giving Switch more than just mobile ports outside the initial 3 games (Skyrim, DOOM, Wolfenstein II). Probably safe to say the retail listing a while back of the upcoming Wolfenstein game is real too then.

So can we get EA to maybe move Frostbite now? Or maybe that new CoD isn't so unrealistic?

Or you know...that one guy from Respawn who wrote the system off? Can we get an interview with him?

@Knuckles-Fajita Oh I would pay good money to watch that interview!

@GrailUK We need to hit up Eurogamer, they are good at grilling people.

"Yeah it wont run Titanfall 2 what is that the same Zelda on the Wii U?"

I think people REALLY underestimate what this system can do. I mean this is a brand new engine and its supported. Sure some longer in development projects cant come and some REALLY high ambitious stuff wont....but now we see who is in and how is out.

And who is lying through their teeth about trying to see if Frostbite works...

Lol "For reasons X, Y and Z Doom Eternal is not coming to Switch, I'm sure of it"

[5 minutes later]

Doom Eternal is coming to Nintendo Switch

@JaxonH I mean they weren't bad reasons to assume!

Awesome doom eternal has been announced for switch. Should stop the silly doom never did so well on switch blah blah rubbish you see on the internet.

I could understand Skyrim VI, but I've been saying from its announcement that Doom Eternal was almost certainly coming.

They said they have more games, they said they want to build brands with Nintendo fans, they have a studio with experience who specifically stated they were working more closely with Bethesda during development to help keep Switch in mind when making design and programming decisions...

The writing was on the wall. I'm willing to bet Fallout 76 comes as well, and Wolfenstein Young Blood.

Panic button is going to be the go to dev for switch ports its seems. I do hope they beef up staff if 3rd parties aren't going to port themselves so we can get more games.
