Pablo Escobar And The Narcos Gang Are Heading To A Nintendo Switch Near You

I may pick this one up depending on the genre. I think a FPS or TPS where you battle rival gangs competitively and cooperatively (PvE and PVP modes) would be pretty "dope"

That trailer has me pumped. Gritty, hard hitting, edge of your seat stuff. Can't wait!

Seasons 1 and 2 were great. Season 3 felt like a completely different show, and the few guys who returned seemed like they didn’t want to be there. Gave up after 3 episodes.

But very interested to see what this game turns into.

Wow... what a trailer!

I remember Streets of Rage making a cameo appearance in one of the episodes. If they go the WayForward route of making a "demastered" side-scrolling beat 'em up, I'd be all over this!

I'm always interested to see what Kuju is working on. Hope it turns out great.

Sounds like fun; I hope you get to play as Pablo

@ZurapiiYohane Sorry to hear that bro. I've never watched the. Really don't like glorifying that type of stuff.

Fantastic show btw, sounds interesting

so not Netflix

Please come down to Florida.

Nice Radiohead plug

How are you guys missing the Radiohead reference?

Nope... It's a Jerky Boys reference

Big fan of the series, but no idea what kind of game this could be other than a really bad gta clone.

Can’t wait to use Escobar on Smash Bros!

Is it wise to put Cappy on a notorious criminal like Escobar? Where did that image come from? Would Cappy be put on someone like Hitler or Gaddafi?

Are you serious? That's the trailer?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Crappy was photoshopped on the actor playing Escobar. It’s humor.

Ugh my dad is obsessed with all the narco themed shows on Netflix.

Why are there so many?!

Am I the only one who saw this and thought great, Netfilx on the switch!

@Robzilla Still, he's responsible for killing thousands and thousands of people, many innocent and destroying countless other lives. I know he's not in the same league as the other 2 I mentioned. It's just an observation more than anything.

Lol i seriously thought that we where getting Netflix 😂🤣😂🤣

Everyone'e got an opinion, and everyone plays what they like. But, the first thought that comes to my mind, is why Netflix has a series centered around a drug lord, & secondly, no matter what type of game this is, a game centered on a drug lord(not the only one, obviously) is just the kind of concept that gives video games a bad name, from people who don't know that this is not a representation of all video games, or gamers.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE it's meant to be satire based on juxtaposition.

A show about narcos, a group of people we all can agree are not good, will have a game on the switch, the safe family-friendly console from the makers of Mario.

For example, when the news came out that a certain infamous terrorist was a video game and animated movie enthusiast, similar mocking images were used by some sites.

@Meowpheel: There are many, because Netflix considers them popular, probably based on viewer data. A news reporter once said that proverbially, nobody watches the news to find out about the plane that successfully landed. People are drawn to stories of criminals, their lifestyle, why they became that way, & so on...

@Senpai_Bruh how did you miss my comment lol

I'm colombian (I am from Antioquia too =/ ) and all the representation or I'd dare say glorification of escobar makes me feel really uncomfortable.

It's a lot easier to be infamous than famous.

Decent. Loved the show and hoping the game shapes up well

I know nothing about the show and only a very little bit about the person it is based on. But if it is about drug running and violence, sounds like a GTA clone to me.

Looking forward to seeing more. I haven’t watched the show. If the game is anything like GTA or Yakuza its a day one for me.

@RedRocBoy
it really gets me mad that they make them as heros and give them shows like this while the whole country of Mexico becomes more and more corrupt because of the these trash bags. My family was directly affected by these people, almost getting killed by them for my grandfather's farmland. They were kicked out and had to move to a different state just to stay safe, and it wasn't just my uncle who lived in the farm, but my other aunts and uncles that lives in cities close by the farm, sending death threats and such. I just wish I could send some US military to shoot them all (or at least scare the crap out of those dirt bags)..... But we can't. Can't even trust the police over there cause they are paid by cartels and junk. ._.

He isn't portrayed as a hero in the series fortunately, though his humanity is held onto a spotlight, perhaps too much to a degree.

8 sec into the trailer I didn't want to stop watching.

Anyone hear/read about a book by Escobar's son where he confirms the CIA's direct involvement in all greasy shenanigans?

I wonder if this show is a timely smokescreen. They only hinted at the CIA involvement with that Rick Rubin lookin dude.

@ZurapiiYohane unfortunately sheriff's and cops are either corrupt or dead... ... Such a sad time indeed.

@Ttimer5 WTF bro. That's crazy. I totally agree. In the black community alot of guys in the streets worship these guys I really don't understand it. They hurt innocent people and do all sorts of crazy stuff. SMH

@ZurapiiYohane wow! sprry to hear that.

It might be satire or some kind of weird humor... but I also don't like Cappy on that guy's head... It's of extremely bad taste.

I’m currently on season 2 and I’m loving the show. This a very welcomed game for me I’m excited to see what they come up with!

Things would have gone so wrong if Nintendo posted that Cappy pic on Twitter

@Senpai_Bruh
Finally got around to play automata man, it's ridiculous how good this game is.
