Crime Classic L.A. Noire Is Sleuthing Its Way To Switch This Year

Whoa

yes!, now can we have Bully next?

Rockstar is back baby!.

This is cool. I'm giving it a shot

Out of all of the games Rockstar decides to bring back, this one was the most unexpected. I wonder if that says something for the franchise or something about reviving bankrupt property stuff I'm not aware about.

In either case, L.A. Noire to the Switch baby!

Physical I hope?

Rockstar on Switch? This is very good news!

I wonder how censored this is gonna be

Whoa! Now this i didn't expect! XD

I'm impressed. Legitimately impressed they're bringing this to the Swtich

I will most certainly buy this one indeed, it was the only Rock* game I missed from last gen. Now then... GTA IV, GTAV , Red dead Redeptiom next? Your call, Rock*...

One of my favorite PS3 games. I'll be double dipping but this time I'm going to be playing it on Nintendo's system.

Wow, so it wasn't just a rumor.

Wow it's been awhile since Rockstar released a game on a Nintendo console,so this is fantastic news. Maybe the Switch can get Red Dead redemption one day.

This is great news! Aaaand begs the question, GTA V for Switch? 😉

Cool! Never played it but I'd love to get it on Switch

@mioraps <- this_guy_gets_it.jpg

Can't say if I'll be able to pick it up right in November, but pick it up I very much will. :3

That rumour was doing the round for ages. And as it turns out, it was true.

Nintendolife: L.A. Noire is coming to Switch !

Me:

But jokes aside, I would love to play my PS3 backlog on the Switch hybrid. YES. PLEASE.

Well this is a surprise. Don't know if I'll buy it yet, not the sort of game I'm drawn to buy for the collection, but perhaps digitally at a reduced price.

Will see how it compares to the other platforms before deciding (I should have a PS4 by then).

GTA V and Red dead redemption all but confirmed. I hope they charge a reasonable price, this is not a full priced game.

Unexpected news but very welcome. Glad to see Rockstar Games bat an eye at Switch.

Looks like the rumor was true.

gasp Day freakin' one.

This is pretty surprising. Didn't really enjoy it when I played it on the PS3 but great to see Rockstar putting something on the switch!

@mioraps They really should, because it helps the team understand the hardware and the audience.

Rockstar gets to tinker around with the Switch hardware and find out how popular one of their titles could be on the platform. If it sells somewhat decently, they can then consider bringing RDR2, GTA VI or whatever to the platform, which'll be way easier seeing how they're familiar with the console at that point.

Day one. Love Noir, love video games, love the Nintendo Switch.

Surprising that the rumours were true, odd choice but as I missed it first time round I'm certainly interested. More likely however to pick it up on PS4 but curious to see how it performs on Switch.

I felt the original was decent, but putting it on a portable console with all the DLC is absolutely genius.

Price is all that matters to me now. No more than $40, easily day1.

I don't know much about this game but I'm intrigued. I have certainly heard the name many times before but never took a closer look at it.

Brilliant news.Ive never played it but my mate thinks it's great. If this sells good then GTAV may happen. Portable GTAV would be an enormous seller.

Would definitely play this again. Have it in my Steam library but would buy a physical switch version.

Well I'm shocked - in a good way. And only 2 months to go.

So this, FIFA, NBA2k, Skyrim, Sonic Forces, DBXV2. That's not bad 3rd party support for the holidays. Still missing FPS CoD, SWBF2 and D2, but still looking way better than Wii U has the past few years, probably since it's launch.

2 Lego games - Ninjago and Marvel - for the kids as well.

never played this so definitely interested in this one.

@mioraps Oh, with that I can wholeheartedly agree. Obviously this should lead to newer Rockstar titles, otherwise it feels like a snub.

The good thing in this situation though, I'd say, is that it's a remaster for both PS4, XB1 and the Switch getting released at the same time. That suggests Rockstar might be considering a new title in the franchise and is testing if there's still a (potential) fanbase. That the Switch is a part of that, instills a lot of hope over here.

Wuuuhuuu!!!

As someone who really wants to see more titles like this hit the Switch i will absolutely be picking up a copy.

Lol why would I buy it on Switch when I could wait 6 or 7 months and buy the better looking version on steam?
Maybe for portability. But I'm not 10 anymore. I don't need games for portability.

Did not expect this. I loved it on PC, I'm really surprised it's coming to Switch, awesome 😀

I thought this game sucked when playing the original version.

Great it's getting a switch version though.

I remember rage quitting on the first interrogation in this game - I must have been doing something wrong

I got through about half of the game before I stopped playing. It's kind of slow and the interrogation aspect can be confusing, but I did enjoy the story and the characters.

@NintendoFan4Lyf DS had a GTA: Chinatown Wars.

The announcement makes me worry in 2 months people will be whining about it being 720p on the Switch rather than just happy it came at all.

L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files for HTC Vive delivers seven of the original engrossing, self-contained cases from L.A. Noire rebuilt specifically for virtual reality, blending breathtaking action with true detective work to deliver an unprecedented interactive experience.

L.A. Noire for the Nintendo Switch features the complete original game and all additional downloadable content, with specific enhancements including a Joy-Con mode with gyroscopic, gesture-based controls, HD rumble and new wide and over-the-shoulder camera angles, plus contextual touch screen controls for portable detective work.

L.A. Noire for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One delivers the complete original game and all additional downloadable content with a range of technical enhancements for greater visual fidelity and authenticity, including enhanced lighting and clouds, new cinematic camera angles, high resolution textures and more. Plays natively in 1080p for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, and stunning 4K for PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, these versions capture the grit and grime of the City of Angels like never before.

Still haven't played it on my PC😒

I'm OK with the version on my PS3.

first time I have thought about getting Switch after reading this.....resist!!!! haha

@LUIGITORNADO That doesn't make any sense. Maybe you want portability because you work too much and don't have time to play in your house.

LOL at Rockstar. "Oh you want RDR? Well you didn't buy LA Noire so they'll be NoiR DR for you. And that goes double for GTA IV! Now go back to Mario".

Re-releasing 360 and PS3 games is a great idea for easy money but to start with the one people wanted the least? Is this just to cop out of VR and Switch or did you have monkeys doing your market research.

You start with GTA IV you nutters!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Do you think that this a sign of further 3rd party support? You always seem to pronounce doom and gloom over this particular front.

I literally can't believe this, and I am SO STOKED. The gameplay gets a bit derivative by the end, but the story in this game is really freaking good. I'm 100% in, day one.

Not exactly the game I would have hoped for from rockstar but great to see 3rd paty devs looking to support the switch from launch

Holy smokes. The rumours were true.

Not hugely keen on this game, but this is one step closer to GTA!

I didn't play this back on the PS3/360 gen. I may give it a shot now. Not sure which console I will get it on yet.

@Oscarzxn This is me, although I do have some time at home as well. As I've said before it's made lunch break enjoyable, especially when I bring Mario Kart and play with others. Even people from different departments I've never spoken to join in, so I've made new friends because of it 😁

Credit where it's due - they didn't have to support Switch when deciding to remaster for console.

Even without any visual upgrades, the original can look way ahead of its time (on Steam anyway) and should run well enough.

I'll echo the call for the first RDR and GTA V. If the PS3 can pull them off it should be doable.

I think it is the perfect game from Rockstar's catalog to bring to the Switch. I played it and had a ton of fun with it on the PS3. I think this particular game is more focused than other games from Rockstar, and is a good point of entry for Nintendo gamers that may no know how great their games are.

@LUIGITORNADO In what planet 10 is considered to be the maximum age to play games on the go? Certainly not Earth.

@LUIGITORNADO
My butt hasn't started to melt with my gaming chair. Sometimes I get out.

@rjejr Heh, a perfect seneraio. Both versions get all of the content thought the difference is that Graphically Beefy consoles get the graphically beefy upgrade cause of cousre they are while the switch version (idk if it will get a polish on the graphics or not doesn't matter too much on my end) gets some Switch exclusive features! As long as nothings been altered/removed content-wise just to fit the Nintendo audience, we're looking at a winner here

That's... a rather random choice for a game to port. I did enjoy La Noire the first time through but I don't really have any interest in playing it again.

E: Ohh. Never mind, all consoles are getting the port, now it makes a bit more sense to me.

Hang on... THE RUNOURS WERE RIGHT?

Will it be censored on the switch?

Honestly I see a lot of people wanting a GTA game instead, but this is the perfect choice for me.
I don't care for open world mayhem, but this game has a story that sounds really up my alley. I may very well consider it (even if it's the same day as Rime)

I never played this before but heard many good things. Will pick this up on the Switch both due to interest in L.A Noire and to encourage R*'s future support for Switch.

@NintendoFan4Lyf seriously? I just going to mention that manhunt 2 was on the Wii with motion controls which let you feel like you stabbing people with broken glass etc...but I could name tons of mature games on Nintendo systems.

This was one of my fav rockstar games. Gun fights were little to easy, but still a great game, day 1 purchase.

@mioraps How else would I play a new Zelda, Metroid and Mario?

@Hrimfaksi It's a port of a 6 year old last generation game. It's in the same category as Skyrim on Switch. I'd rather hear of new games instead. But Switch wouldn't be able to run next gen games.

Yesssssssss! Day one for me love these sort of games! Never played it originally so happy days. Keep the games rolling guys.

@BustedUpBiker Rockstar has made it very clear they are not porting Red Dead.

@Cosats for someone who doesn't commute through public transportation and doesn't need to whip out a portable game to satiate boredom for a few minutes, like a child riding in a carriage as their mommy shops for groceries...my world.

@Oscarzxn maybe you should be working instead of playing at work so you can leave on time?

I've been dying to play this game! Keep meaning to pick it up, but definitely waiting for the upgrade on it. Considering this was originally... what, one of the oldest X360/PS3 era games, I'd much rather get it with a new coat of polish and portability.

Sweet! Good to see rockstar bringing games over.

November 14th? That's encouraging, suggesting it's not taken them that long to incorporate the Switch in their plans.

More announcements like this incoming, me thinks.

@JHDK I think if it sells well, we'll see more. This is a very safe testing of the waters and they'll undoubtedly make some money while they're at it.

@Sentinator It's coming to all platforms though,not just Switch.

@LUIGITORNADO How about using it in bed for the final minutes of consciousness for the day or a personal favorite when on the toilet when something down there troubles you...or when it's not troubling you and just looking for a excuse of using the toilet or how about when on the computer with the Switch on your desk when your waiting for a video/game/project to load.

There are other ways of using the Switch when inside the house but these are the most prominent.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It's a port that will be given a marketing push as Rockstar promote the other ports that are going to be released at the same time.

It could be better but it's positive news and it has a fair potential to sell well.

What's certain is that they never would have been released the original 720p version on the Wii U if they'd been planning a PS4/XBox One remaster last year.

I...I...love my Switch. Welcome aboard Rockstar.

@OorWullie I know it is. I'm saying I don't know what market research they were doing when selecting LA Noire to re-release. Check their 360 and PS3 games and you'll see LA Noire shipped 1 third of what RDR did and GTA IV sold 5 times what LA Noire shipped.

The decision still makes as much sense to me as it did when the rumour popped up in February. If you follow the trend of re-releasing your games last gen you start with the more popular ones.

I'm so excitted!!!! This game was great and I will pick it up for sure again, as long as the Switch version is great. Count this as a AAA port!

@LUIGITORNADO "But I'm not 10 anymore. I don't need games for portability."

You got it backwards - 10-year-olds arguably need portability comparatively less than adults do. XD

@Captain_Toad Screen activity before bed is not healthy. And I tend to use the bathroom on the toilet, not game. Kind of gross IMO.

Great news!! So that's Resident Evil Revelations 2 and now L.A. Noire as 3rd party download games for me in November. Hopefully both are €19.99 each. Wouldn't pay anymore than that for each game since they are ports.

But I really hope these sell well and show 3rd Parties that there is money to be made on 'last gen' and 'early this gen' games on the Switch.

There is so many gem's I wanna play and replay on the switch, I'll double dip when the price is right with all DLC included. Visuals can be the same tbh, I don't mind. I just want an amazing back catalogue for the Switch over the next year

Ports and new games of course, new games help.

WOW!! Now THATS a big Switch announcement!! A GTA game next???

I've heard of this rumor since January, but nice to see it finally come to fruition.

A GTAV Switch port needs to happen after this.

We need a red dead port next. Please, please, PLEASE!!!

I think sales for this game will determine re releases for gta 5 and red dead 1 remasters for the switch.

@LUIGITORNADO

Lordy, what childish remarks!

I'm a 35 year-old married father who works full-time. The Switch's portability allows me to play when I can, be it during free-time at work or when the family is using the home TV. While my gaming PC and other consoles don't get much play anymore, the Switch fits my life perfectly, and has allowed me to find time to enjoy my hobby when I can.

But no, only children.

This is just the beginning... I'm sure that other surprises will come. Midnight Club, Red Dead and so on. I'm sure this game will sale like hot cakes. I'll be picking this up day 1.

Holy cow, this is quite unexpected! It might be an "old game" but it's being released for the "new platforms" with specific enhancements catering to the strengths of each one. Actual exclusivity of Nintendo for a re release/port on "all new gen platforms", from a major Western publisher. Between this, WWE, and NBA, 2K/Rockstar is showing genuine Nintendo support for the first time in a very long time.

GFX may be wonky (or not) on the Switch version, but it looks like they took the time to incorporate the Switch's unique features, as well as X1/P4P grunt. Nice work Rock Star!

Since i missed out on this but love 40's noire the first time around, this is a must-buy.

2K/Rockstar does what Capcom don't.

Couldn't resist.

Great news to start my day. I've always wanted to play it, and for some reason never got to it. Plus, a Rockstar game in a Nintendo console... it just bodes so well for the Switch IMO.

This game sets the benchmark for facial animations, other than that it's not really that good.

It's so good that the Switch is getting a lot more 3rd party support. There's so many great games coming soon, it's going to be an expensive end to the year. This is s great sign when such a big publisher is supporting the Switch, I don't care if the graphics aren't as good as my PC, being able to play on my TV and away is a big deal for me.

This game is awesome. I'll get it!

Never fully played this game, but I loved to watch playthroughs of this game. Now that the game's getting a remaster you think there'd be as sequel/spiritual successor for this game? L.A. Noire 2, maybe? Or N.Y. Noire or Chicago Noire?

Told people it was happening. Thought it would have been announced at e3, and when it wasn't it seemed it wasn't happening. But it is. And it looks legit- motion and HD Rumble included? Shoooot... That's how it's done baby!

@rjejr The game uses PS3 era models. They can "render it in stunning 4k" and "native 1080p" all they want, but it's still using 10 year old models and texture assets. They never said anything about remastering the art, just rendering it in a higher res The edges will be sharper on other platforms. The graphics will still show their age. This isn't FFX-Remastered.

If it's 720/60 I'm happy. If it's 720/30....heck, I'm happy, it never hit that on PS3.....or PC back in the day

@SpacemanSpiff I'm with you there sir - only I'm ten years older. 😨

Played the heck out of this on PC, shame about the ending, can't wait to see what the Switch version looks like and what 4K visuals will do to the game.

@MsgBoardGamer I agree, it does not at all mean suddenly we'd also have, say, GTA on the Switch, I wouldn't hold my breath for it. But since the question of "where's the third party support" always pops up with the regard to the Switch, it's good to know a major publisher/developer at least has the Switch in their radar, unlike the Wii U.

Rockstar could have very easily just focused on the "Ultra HD, super HDR 4K whatever" versions, but they saw the potential of the Switch, and considered it worth their investment, enough to even include some (minor) Switch exclusives features. In my eyes that's a good thing.

Very nice! Always meant to play this on PS3 and just never got around to it... Then PS4 came around and i stopped picking up PS3 games. It'll be a priority on Switch! Hope this leads to further Rockstar games on Switch.

OK Rockstar now just bring over RDR too and we'll go from there

Let me guess it's not coming at the same time as the other consoles.

Nicely done Rockstar! Hope we get GTA V too.

@NintendoFan4Lyf I feel sorry for anyone who looks forward to seeing video game boobs. Play less games and more with girls

It's definitely a step in the right direction. Pre switch this would have been announced for everything apart from Wii U. Things are improving

I really enjoyed this on PS3 and it's still quite a unique experience, would probably get it again for the right price

Never played it originally. Might check it out now

@PtM Table Tennis and Manhunt 2 were also present on Wii but I get your meaning.

I want GTA IV (I never did get to play it) but it isn't likely to happen. That said I never played this either.

@NintendoFan4Lyf The DS had GTA Chinatown. Awesome game but you sold drugs and killed people in it.

It makes total sense for Rockstar to repackage LA Noire. I'm not sure if it still is, but at the time it came out it was the most expensive game ever made due to the new mo-cap tech they used coupled with the live actors.

Even though I own the original I'll still be buying this on Switch when it releases.

Cool!

LA Noire was a really unique and good, albeit flawed game. This on the go is worth the price for those missing on a classic

Like the 136 people ahead of me , im very suprised to see this announced , i'll buy it, i didnt get to finish it last time due to something or other.
Nice to see an adult AAA come to switch , even if it is 6 years old. Now , if we can start seeing some other games from rockstar , that'd be swell.

Take Two went from not publishing a single Nintendo game for the last 5 years to publishing 3 this year alone.

Impressive...

@Menchi187
Because The Binding of Issac was censored? Oh wait no it wasn't...just be happy it's coming

I got the platinum trophy for this on PS3 so don't think I will reinvest in this as much as it is one of my all time favourite games.

For the right price and a physical release I may be tempted to buy just to show support and hope for more Rockstar titles on Switch, GTA V would be ideal.

Motion controls. Barf.

@NEStalgia 2011, 6 years old. I'm fine w/ whatever Switch gets, heck I'd be fine w/ mobile chibi FFXV, but the Digital Foundry article will come and torches will be lit. Actually the only thing worse than torches being lit is Sony and MS fanbois making a big deal out of it, as they pay $400 or $500 to play the same game in 4k on improved consoles.

Really solid choice! LA Noire is one of the few Rockstar Games that I feel is built like it can be played on the go! That and film noire is always an itch that needs more scratching in gaming.

As long as it doesn't get censored I'll probably get this. I don't care about it not getting a visual upgrade, the portable factor is most important to me!

@Captain_Toad a perfect seneraio

Doesn't matter, Digital Foundry needs it clicks, the mob will be baited.

Nintendo won't censor it. Them days are long gone.

Super duper! Now I can play this delightful game on the move.

Hmmm....way too much uncanny valley for me personally. Something weird about dead eyed mannequins trying to act real.

@NintendoFan4Lyf I think that honor goes to Majora's Mask.
L.A. Noire is a great game though

Very interesting.

Welp, if you want to raise the hopes of a GTA V port, I think you know what to do....

@rjejr What do the Sony/XBox fans care, they trashed the game the first time around anyway

Digital Foundry? Who reads Digital Foundry? The holed up nerds that hover around video game websites? If Rockstar/2K got 100% of the sales from the Digital Foundry audience and no one else, they'd have to start making pachinko machines to make ends meet

It's so funny, because in the "fanverse" of gaming we seem to think publishers know we're their market! In reality publishers know we're almost entirely irrelevant beyond social marketing. We don't even make a dent in their sales figures, sadly. The "mass market" that's never heard of ign.com is the real market Actually for Nintendo "gamerz" are probably a bigger percentage of Nintendo's market than "gamerz" are for Sony's very very mass market. Not sure about XBox. They WERE mass market, but they're really not anymore.

L.A. Noire for Switch will sell to a lot of people that never had a machine to play L.A. Noire on because they were either Nintendo gamers, or not gamers at all until Switch convinced them it was convenient. And it will sell to "gamerz". And it might actually sell in Japan for once That's possibly Switch's secret recipe for western publisher success. A Western publisher generally has zero reach in Japan (except Ubi for some reason.) Switch grants them access to bring some games to the Japan market (lets face it, Sony's not lighting any fires over there). And new markets are always business incentive. Especially at shareholder meetings.

I am a bit surprised some mention censorship by Nintendo.
Wii U had Devils Third...
Wii had games like Madworld...

@NintendoFan4Lyf GTA: Chinatown Wars (initially exclusive), Eternal Darkness (1st party), various Resident Evil games, Manhunt 2, Bayonetta 1&2 (2nd is exclusive), Red Steel 1&2 (both exclusives), Mad World (initially exclusive), No More Heroes 1&2 (exclusive, though the 2nd one got ported over to PS3), ZombiU (initially exclusive), Deus Ex: HR, Mass Effect 3 and certainly others I can't recall at the moment all say hi and wave their hands at you.

Woot... Never finished it on PC. But all about the price - if tuey try and sell this like a new game at 60 another no go - wait for used.

Best Switch announcement in a while. Thank you Rockstar

@NEStalgia Do we even know if this is releasing in Japan? I checked 5 different websites and nobody mentioned regions.

My whole office at work just dropped jaws. I'm equally awed as it's been since Bully on Wii since we last had a Rockstar game on a Nintendo console. Multi-platform and port or not, this game speaks volumes from the Nintendo side of things on a system who's compass is pointing upward. I won't sing praises of "The AAA 3rd parties are coming! The AAA 3rd parties are coming!", but this IS a step in the right direction. Now for original AAA 3rd party support and the Switch will be in an even better place than its already been.

PS I STILL want to see GTA on the Switch before I truly party like a... Rockstar (Yeah I know... I went there... <_< )

Rockstar support is huggeee. I would consider them god tier developers for western gamers along with blizzard (come on bliz just release overwatch so i can have on the go). Hoping they release red dead redemption over gta as also have not the time of day to play it but heard it is also good. Just when you though sept and oct where the busy month, november shaping to be as just as crazy.

@rjejr Good point, no idea if it's being localized or not, but why port and old game for 3 consoles without tapping that market?

Though I don't know exactly how the script reads but I'm guessing a game set in L.A. in the 40's when "the Japs" weren't exactly popular....so if there's any reference to that atmosphere, it could be a good reason for it to not get a localization for Japan.

@electrolite77 I am not referring to the platform choices. I mean they have shot themselves in the foot by not doing GTA IV. Looking into re-releasing other 360 and PS3 games makes sense following GTA V's success but starting with this doesn't make sense.

I will admit I haven't played the games so perhaps I am mistaken but doesn't there tend to be higher demand for the bigger sellers?

GTA IV selling more than 5 times what this game shipped just seems like a wasted opportunity overall. And thats ignoring Red Dead Redemption being a marketing candidate.

@DarkmarkUnited ???

Always felt this game was highly underrated. Glad to see it coming back.

@LUIGITORNADO I don't understand then why you've got a Switch... Portability is a big plus, specially if you're not 10... Did you know? Precisely because you (and I mean me) aren't 10 anymore, the time you can spend in front of a TV is quite limited... The Switch has changed the way many enjoy playing which is quite an accomplishment.

Anyway, back to the point. A Rockstar game on the Switch is good news to everyone. They're obviously testing the waters, so let's hope the game does really well.

I haven't played this game yet, so now is the time to do it.

Ugh, no thanks. L.A. Noire has to be one of my least favorite Rockstar games ever, so I'm skipping this.

Nice to know Rockstar's supporting the Switch at least, though.

Rockstar's DS game was already surprising, but not too much given they only did it to get on the money-printing bandwagon and wanted a piece of the cake, not that they needed it anyway given Chinatown Wars joined the ranks of fellow GTA games Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories on PSP eventually, and of course, not the other way around.

A Rockstar game coming out on a Nintendo system that is also a home console, on the other hand? My, my! Who will think of the children precious Xbox/Sony exclusivity?! Who cares! My only gripe with this is how it's L.A. Noire and not a proper GTA title, but it's still a start.

If this sells, though? Once Switch gets a GTA, the floodgates are open. If there's a mature franchise that can rake up a lot of third party support, it's Grand Theft Auto.

Man. Final Fantasy XV is coming to Switch, hopefully in its original form, but still it's noteworthy enough that we get a FF game that's not among the first six. Now Rockstar, Rockstar is developing a game for Switch, too.

What a time to be alive, indeed. I always thought combining Nintendo's home 'n' handheld market was a winning move, but... damn! Far beyond my expectations!

And just like that, poof watch all good will built around rockstar evaporate in the blink of an eye!
LA noire to cost 50 on switch, which is 10 bucks more than on Xbox/ps

Oh yeah, nothing like good news as this one after Hurricane Irma. That thing is strong as heck.

@rjejr Switch's first year is leagues better than Wii U's, but that's admittedly a bit of a low bar. Thus far, it's been the anti-Wii U, which is good in many respects.

Never played this, so ill get it for sure. Now do the same with RDR1!

I'm absolutely buying this since I haven't played it yet. I do enjoy all the family friendly titles but this game's for Daddy.

@NintendoFan4Lyf lol this can't be a real post.

Shadowman says what up.

L.A. Noire was not a good game.

Hey Rockstar bring over GTA5

@electrolite77 Yep, even at its best, Wii U wasn't having nearly as many consistent announcements of games. Plus, third-parties in general have warmed up to it as its first year has gone by, very unlike the Wii U. Wii U was cold as ice within 18 months of release. In fairness, there were many factors contributing to Wii U's failure, but it's still a far cry from where we are with Switch right now.

Sometimes you need to shake the tree to see what falls out.

This is what i like to see, finally doing some justice on the switch.. Even if its years later lol

Such big news imo I just had to post again. I didn't mention this before but this will be an obvious Day 1 purchase for me and hopefully a retail version will happen! So shocked to see it coming as soon as 11/14 as well!! I find myself coming here to NL multiple times a day during work just looking for those Switch game announcements!! Makes my day! 😃

wow. played this before in my pc. cant wait to play in my switch cause i've never had time to finish it back then.

@electrolite77 that sure worked out for Wii U right. All those games that it got because every other platform had them released also. It's coming to switch because the publisher feels it can sell on the machine unlike the total mess which was the Wii U

So the price of this game has emerged. And it's another case of it being more expensive on Switch. $10 more expensive to be precise. It's likely to be on a 32GB cartridge though there's no guarantee that it'll all fit on it. R* seem to be like, ya sure, you can have the game, but we're not taking the hit on these expensive limited proprietary cartridges. You Switch owners have got to pay for another Nintendo mistake.

@SpacemanSpiff this exactly this. The Switch fits my life perfectly as a 34 year old full time worker with kids. I'll download LA Noire and it'll be my late night gaming in bed game. Great news

@MsgBoardGamer No they don't. Way to exaggerate. And it's a handheld.

this game was lame..

@Gamer83

One of your favorite PS3 games?

@gatorboi352 @gatorboi352

I feel like a lot of nintendo fans have such low expectations. Getting excited over possibly rockstars worse game

Oh yeah! I was thinking to buy this again for the PC! So now i will wait for the Switch! This game is is really good, better than GTA, mafia, saints row in my opinion.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Don't you think that most of the support does come first in a way of easy ports? I mean, playstation has been out for 4 years and you can probably name about 20 good AAA from 3rd parties. Some of them were also ports (Diablo III as an example). I am not saying that Switch will encourage the same level of 3rd party support as 4th year PS4, but it's release year has been much stronger than PS4 one (which actually was abyssmal, even though they still had sold a lot of consoles, just because xbone was that much worser).

We already got one great AAA 3rd party, now we get more ports. If the level of support remains on the current level (not the level that was in the first month or two), it will be one of the strongest console lineups ever.

I really enjoyed it on 360, though the story of the development is more interesting than the game itself. I always wanted to see a sequel, but I don't mind paying for a Switch version even though I've already double dipped on it during a Steam sale.

Yes, please more of this!

Lots of optimism here. If that converts to sales figures this could be the first of many PS3/360 era games on Switch. There is a treasure trove of games on that generation that could easily be converted to Switch.

Critically acclaimed? Maybe. I remember the face animationa being praised at that time.
But as far as I remember, it was perceived as a pretty boring experienced by those who played it for a longer period.
Not only because its open world is pretty empty, but also because the investigations were too easy and became pretty pointless since the reactions of investigated characters were extremely exaggerated when they were lying or holding something back. In other words: they were very artificial and not human-like.

But I'm surprised to see that Rockstar even knows Nintendo consoles exist.
And why port such an unpopular game instead of GTA and RDR? Both games ran on PS3/XB360, so they should've easily run on Wii U and Switch.

Good news. Though I'm not sure how interested I am in it....I guess I'll look at a few gameplay videos. Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption would be more appealing.

Day one on Switch for me, increasednlrice or not. This game was ace on PS3 by I didn't break that far into it and was reconsidering starting it all over again. If I can do that on the greatest console ever made instead of the PS3, then being it on. Also amazing to welcome rockstar onto the Nintendo platform. (Neutered Manhunt 2 doesn't count)

While we are at it, how would red dead, GTA V, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Metal gear 4/5 sell on Switch I wonder????

GTA V or even IV would have sold sooooooo much more. I am interested and will be picking it up, but I feel the nintendo audience won't be too enamored by this release. Maybe it hits 500k, and thats a big maybe

@IronMan28 I don't think the launch is leagues better. I think it looks better, any console that launches with GOAT Zelda is going to have that advantage, but in actuality I still believe Wii U had a better line-up of games and more promise.

Wii U had AAA Batman, so mature action, AAA Mass Effect 3, so FPS, exclusive Zombie U, FPS mature horror, NSMBU, so 2D Mario, family friendly Nintendo Land which was supposed to be the new Wii Sports but crashed and burned. So I think the games and the promise was there at launch.

Switch had Zelda, then 1 2 Switch, which looks worse to me than Nintendo Land did, MK8D, which is a port - Wii U had bc with Wii so it had MKWii. ARMS. And Mario and Rabbits. 6 months ends September 3rd.

So yes, first 6 months I'll take the Wii U line-up for it's diversity and promise. First 9 months probably goes to Switch with Mario, Skyrim, FIFA. Though I think Wii U had FIFA and Need for Speed and launch as well.

What Wii U didn't have was any marketing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. A split confused consumer with 2 models to choose from for the few who knew it existed. A really stupid name that gave the appearance of it being a balance board like Gamepad peripheral. A body that looked just like Wii, adding to the confusion. A $99 new Wii Mini to compete with. $199 PS3 and Xbox 360 in their glory days and $400 PS4 and X1 making it look enderpowered, b/c it was.

So sure, Switch line-up of current and upcoming games feels better, that's truthiness, but Wii U launched really well. Pikmin 3 being delayed a few months and Rayman getting delayed started the crumble though, and it never recovered. But more I think for the reasons above than the lack of games. They were there at launch, then 9 months later gone.

@electrolite77
Yes mate switch is getting more support, mainly indie games though, this is just a old port that Rockstar are testing the waters with. I don't see latest big releases coming to switch, let alone same time as ps4one, ain't happening, nothing wrong with old ports though, especially since it would be first time playing them for many Ninty fans. Wii U got initial good support from 3rd party, even a year later it got releases of big games same time as other hardware like Batman origins, ASSASSINS CREED black flag and COD ghosts, these were big games only nobody bought them, can't blame them for jumping ship, same thing will happen to switch if latest games make it to switch. Getting last gen ports are less of a risk, the games are already in place they just have to convert them at a much less cost, it's a win win situation even with mediocre sales for publishers, yep switch will get loads of last gen ports and virtually nothing from latest big games that PS4ONE gets, but that's ok, bloody hell even vita got about 20 PS360 games

Bully is a good game. This isn't
