Who is getting the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy? I still can’t believe that we’re getting this next generation open world game on the Switch of all things!

@JONOFTHEJONS @old-dad

I have little faith the Hogwarts Legacy port will turn out well.

It's being handled by d3t, the same port house who handled the Alan Wake port, which was poor.

@Magician Oh no… that means Hogwarts Legacy will be 360p in handheld mode with terrible performance.

Looking at the website, I can only find one project by D3T for Hogwarts Legacy, but the article has no mention of the Switch. Is it fully confirmed? And what else have D3T ported to the Switch?

@Magician @JONOFTHEJONS To be honest, I had little faith a game like Hogwarts Legacy would run well on the Switch even without knowing the studio behind it. Heck, I’m not totally convinced it’ll run well on the last generation consoles. I’m guessing that’s partly why it was delayed and released on the PS5/Xbox Series.

@JONOFTHEJONS Seems like it if you look at their wikipedia page. Seems the only other Switch port to their name is the Sega Genesis Classics collection, which is know for having input delay issues.

@Ralizah Not only input delay, but audio issues as well. I played better Genesis emulation back on the original Xbox.

I've played Hogwarts Legacy on my series S and, while i'm far from a graphics and performance nut, it ran very smoothly. Despite releasing on next gen consoles it also doesn't feel far removed from a PS4 game. I could see it run on Switch, but obviously at a cost, and provided a lot of care went into the port. It is, however, a soulless and bland game that reinforces rather than expands the limits of Rowling's world building, and doubles down on its elementary idea of morality. IMO, tightly constructed level design in the castle, which is wonderfully realized and really taps into the nostalgia, would've served this game (and IP) better than a ubisoft-like open world. Take that as you will, I couldn't resist the pull of my childhood either

Hogwarts Legacy on Low settings on Deck runs and looks about the same as many other Switch games, so I have no doubt it could be a good port, given the right developer.

But after hearing who's handling the port, that's highly unlikely.

Seems the demand for Switch ports exceeds the supply of compentent porting studios, leaving many teams to resort to contracting subpar developers.

This will sort itself out over the next few years. Not only because the free market will naturally produce more competent porting studios to satisfy demand given the success of Switch, but also because Switch 2 will help mask the deficiencies of some of the borderline studios, further expanding the pool of viable development teams to contract.

My gut tells me, all this silence on the switch version of Hogwarts Legacy can't be good. I'm guessing they're staying silent as long as possible to avoid negative press so they can maximize pre-orders, or avoid hurting company shares. ...Maybe they're waiting for TOTK release buzz to settle, but I think they're hiding a turd. I hope I'm wrong, because I want Hogwarts Legacy to work.

@Giancarlothomaz hold down the standard beam button (A) and press the right shoulder button. This won’t work sometimes if you don’t have the necessary abilities unlocked (Super Missle, Ice Spreader, Flamethrower, Wavebuster)

Wait, why do we need a signature? Eh, I don’t know. Here’s your signature.

Seeing as Biomutant is the most recent confirmed Switch port, What is everyone’s most wanted ports for Switch?

WoomyNNYes

@JONOFTHEJONS Oof, Biomutant? I remember the trailer looked great, but PureXbox gave it a 5/10.

Other than Howgwarts Lacey, The Outer Wilds would might be be the second most wanted. That got pushed back to this summer, I believe? Or still to be announced.

Beyond those two games, I'm can't think of anything else. EDIT: xbox's Hi-Fi Rush would be awesome, but I'm not aware of any plans of that being ported.

Ultra Street Fighter 4. Other than that I can’t think of too much that isn’t an exclusive that I really want on switch. Switch has too many games on deck for me to worry about ports.

Love to play Madworld on the Switch. Never will happen but I enjoyed that game way more than I should lol

Aside from the obvious of another Ace Attorney collection, something like a collection of older Lego games (Indiana Jones, Batman, etc.) would make me exceptionally happy

@old-dad I actually picked up Madworld for about €12 for my refurbished Wii about 3 months ago funnily enough. I haven't started it yet (stuff like NSO and Mario 3D World have gotten in the way lately) but I'm very excited to try it out since I've heard nothing but great things about it!
