Hearing they're recoding Ark Survival Evolved on Switch from scratch, along with all the new content, was pretty surprising.

That game was definitively the worst Switch port of all time. Anything less than a full code re-write would be insufficient. And yet... that's exactly what they're doing. I can't believe they actually hired a studio to rebuild the game for Switch.

Here's to hoping it turns out well. I'd love to play the game on Switch (I have it on Steam, but got tired of the endless daily update patches and uninstalled it). Certainly can't turn out any worse, that's for sure.

@JaxonH As in they're removing the original version and replacing it with the new one or are they making the most monstrous patch of all time? I'm assuming the former.

@Fizza
They're rebuilding from scratch for the newest version with newer content, and anyone who bought the first version gets a free upgrade.

But it won't be a patch. It's a complete code re-write. The previous release was unsalvageable.

So what does the release schedule look like for switch for 2022? Trying to plan accordingly with purchases and games to start playing. I want a clear slate for XC3.

Welp, that announcement completely changed my plans for the next few months.

So, either Splatoon 3 need a little more time in the oven, or we're about to get the new release date for Advance Wars. That's my guess, anyway. Clearly something is taking Xenoblade's September slot.

@Grumblevolcano stinks I'll have to cram strikers, 3 hopes, Live a Live and XC3 all in a short amount of time. I think I would've preferred XC3 to have the original September release date.

Well, that's certainly a nice surprise .... You could wait until September to play XC3 if you like, @NintendoByNature? I think that'll take priority for me over anything else around the time & there'll be enough time for Live A Live before much else comes along, though

Unfortunately, the timing of XC3 means I'll be pushing off Three Hopes, MHR Sunbreak, and AI: The Somnium Files 2 so that I have time to clean up the current crop of games I'm playing before it releases.

As in you'll still play those eventually, @Ralizah ....? I imagine so, at least! I'll probably manage to finish 3 Hopes before XC3, anyway Forgotten about AI Somnium 2 but that'll have to wait a bit

@BruceCM Yeah, I'm not gonna not play major releases like those. Especially considering I'm still hyped for them. But XC3 is going to be a gigantic, months-long affair, so I'd prefer to have distractions reduced to a minimum before then.

It does mean I'll be waiting for sales, though. My rule with games I don't pick up at launch is that they need to enjoy at least a moderate discount first. At least 33% off the base price.

Might make an exception for Sunbreak, though. I don't think the price will go down too much with that, and I'm not waiting too long to play it.

At least assuming XC3 is as long as 2 or more .... Which certainly seems likely!

So I'm guessing that means Splatoon 3 will be a mid August to mid September release if it's still releasing in Summer.

@Ralizah Honestly I think the earlier XC3 release may be a result of the BotW 2 delay. Monolith Soft are working on both so perhaps the delay has allowed for a larger XC3 focus followed by major BotW 2 focus after XC3's launch.

Grumblevolcano

Ralizah

@Grumblevolcano I'm pretty sure different teams have been working on both games, so I doubt one being delayed impacts the other. I think this might be more about optimizing release schedules.

What was originally gonna be put in July only to be delayed, making room for XC3? Advance Wars was meant to come out in December, and is in limbo for the time being. I'd put my bets on Splatoon being the delayed game, and that BotW would have come out in September, if not for the delay.

So slotting XC3 in means it's been finished for enough time they can just slot it in whenever they want, and that other games have no doubt been delayed to compensate.
