Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Wolfenstein...yeah thats looking likely.

Fallout....oooh tough call there. It'll be a late port if it is and it's scope maaay just eclipse what Switch can do. Or it couldn't, its hard to say how full the world will be.

@MisterPi @Tsurii @GrailUK Well, let me find a trailer in that case. I didn't know there was a sequel coming. I certainly missed that news!

You realise this is the exact opposite statement? Instead of overly pessimistic, overly optimistic. Now they're not coming at all, you jinxed it

WOAH, i expect it to be announced like in a direct soon. not at quake con
alright, Bethesda you got me to have a difficult time to get on which platform for Doom and eternal.

Thank goodness they didn't wait to announce it at some separate event

Were Nintendo Life not watching? Great to see Doom Eternal announced for Switch even if I'll likely get it for PC but still good to see Bethesda supporting the Switch

As long as the game is as good as it can be on Switch, it doesn't matter if it's not up to the PC version. It's in great hands with Panic Button.

God only knows what they're doing. Maybe they're trying to see if Luigi is ok now or locating more locations in Fortnight......

@carlos82 Nintendo Life aren't the fastest as getting news articles up. But I think being the time of day it is in the UK probably doesn't help though they do have US based writers.

I am very excited to see Doom Eternal not just coming to the Switch but being announced at the same time as other platforms, not a Nintendo Direct or a whole year later or anything.

I trust Panic Button to pull out another superb port and am interested to see how the new engine has been designed to take advantage of the Switch hardware in terms of scaleability etc.

@Spoony_Tech don’t worry, Nintendo already confirmed Luigi got better.

@Spoony_Tech haha that's probably right or seeing which Rom sites are still up

@FragRed were Panic Button mentioned? It would be the logical choice unless of course they make a Switch version from the ground up in house alongside the other versions

@carlos82 Panic Button weren't mentioned but they did retweet a couple of tweets, one before and one after the showing. But yes, it still doesn't outright confirm they are involved but one would assume it's, as you said, the logical choice.

Wow. Assuming this isn't just them playing around, does this mean id are doing the port in-house?

I think there's no way to tell either way who's doing it just yet. Safe to say I'm super excited for this, Bethesda has done wonders for Nintendo this generation.

I think Fallout 76 will be a definite no for Switch simply because of its online nature.

@Grumblevolcano I am sure if it were to come, it would have been announced by now. But you are right, the online nature would have caused issues but furthermore I think just the scale of the game in terms of size and what is happening would be too troublesome to get working on the Switch's tech.

What's the point of paying for the ''online service'' if it means some games still aren't coming because of the ''online nature''? Shouldn't that solve the issue?

I don't understand why the online nature would be a barrier to a Switch release? There are plenty of online games on the Switch already.

@Octane I can answer that, and any question with one simple word...

Nintendo.

I think the argument is that Switch is partially portable, meaning that the system is assumed to be played in environments where there is no Wi-Fi.

This is not my argument, it's just something I heard.

@Harmonie Oh yeah, I think I remember one of the devs of an online game (Destiny 2 maybe?) saying they wouldn't bring the game to the Switch for that reason. The argument doesn't hold any water considering Splatoon 2 is one of the most successful games on the Switch though.
