Rejoice, Fortnite Fans: Switch Battle Royale Title Crazy Justice Is Shaping Up Nicely

This seems pretty impressive!

Cautiously optimistic. I love playing Fortnite, but if this offers online split-screen (like Black Ops 2 did back in the day), I'm all in.

The frame rate takes a horrible dip during split-screen though, but it's still early days.

I would consider picking this up for PC only to get cheap wins against Switch and XBO users. But I doubt this will have much longevity on PC and after a while it will be pretty much Switch only.

In 6 months to a year when this finally releases and the Battle Royale hype has died down, I'll snap it up.

Am I literally the only person who sees this bubble eventually bursting (again) and that Fortnite doesn't interest me one bit? Honestly I am surrounded people who have Battle Royale Fever to a point they're not interested in games I offered some to play (like my current Battlerite addiction), or even lost interest in games because, "It would be cool if they made Battle Royale for it." Seen the latter response to Smash Bros and even Monster Hunter.

if nintendo knew what's good for them they'd be working they're butts off to strike a deal with epic games and get fortnite. it's the hottest game out there, if a freakin phone can run it, so can the switch and also the battle royale genre won't last long so they should strike while the iron is hot.

Looks awesome! The fact that this has a cover system and split screen already makes this better than Fortnite in my eyes. Now it just needs a pve element.

Looking good and decent price. I'll bite.

I dont care about the BR mode. The other modes sell me on this. Looks great.

I just hope you can lie down in the game.

You shook my heart for a split second. I thought Fortnite was coming to the Nintendo Switch.

@Paraka The cycle repeats: previously it was MMOs, then it was DotAs, then survival games, then multiplayer zombie games, now it's battle royale...

@SmaggTheSmug - Now? This is actually the second time we had BR be a huge thing. I remember Battlefield 1942 being huge on it. CS stopped being just a mode back then too.

@Paraka Battle Royale is just the new "zombie genre" this bubble will absolutely burst sooner or later, but with the extreme popularity, I don't see this bubble burst until maybe 2-3 years from now, right now Fortnite is dominating the market, and I have a feeling that with all the competition people's thirst will eventually be filled, and then they will go bored, and then Fortnite will be among 2-3 other battle royale games that lasted.

And THEN! a new trend will arise like usual.

Rather just play Fortnite today on just about everything else. Probably get MFI support for the iOS version before this comes out anyway

Eh, there are two juggernauts really in the BR genre - PUBG (PC) and Fortnite (mainly consoles). I don't see any other BR suddenly making waves or surging to popularity.

Fortnite's massive turnaround and success is due to hard work by EPIC games but equally, they took advantage of a number of shortcomings by PUBG. PUBG's failure to get a decent working version of the game onto Xbox and PS4 left the console market open and allowed Fortnite to reinvent itself as a free to play alternative to PUBG, to marked success.

Regardless, I agree with other posters saying the BR bubble will pop. PUBG and Fortnite are the Call of Duty and Battlefield of the genre so it is doubtful any more games will rival their success.

Radical Heights is Battle Royale with Cheese.

rejoice to pay for a copy cat of free game with an already huge community?

Ok maybe but we are probably talking years away!

I don't really understand the craze with Fortnight and these battle royal games. But I do know that for some reason, a lot of people just freaking LOVE the genre to death.

I also don't really understand why the people behind Fortnight wouldn't be dying to bring their game to every platform possible to milk the hell out of it in terms of profits. Since that really seems to be the goal of the game - to milk players to death with toxic microtransactions.

I suppose it is possible that Nintendo is keeping them back with some behind the scenes policy against this style of free-to-play game. Frankly I hate that format too but I know a lot of people seem to be okay with it. Even like it.

couldn't be happier about something ive help fund then this title right here haha at the beginning I was like could be good, then it announced its fortnite like battle royale and I was like omg this is gonna be ridiculous lol cant wait!!

After what has happened with another game that low balled estimates to develop a game, 30k crowd funding goal is really tiny to make a game. Also I just don't know how much I can play a game like fortnite on console, I tried on PS4 and controller just isn't as good as keyboard and mouse on these games, I can't even imagine playing these games on mobile lol.

I liked Fortnite and PUBG, so I’ll check this out for sure!

Looks fun, but knowing that Fortnite plays on phone, I can only imagine it'll be on switch soon enough too. And that'll be something I already know and like. If this comes out first, I'll be tempted to buy tho.

If the framerate is that slow in the final product (in split screen), then it won't be much fun when you're getting mowed down by someone else playing solo with better fps.

I prefer PUBG than Fortnite, it will be interesting to which way this one goes

I think you meant to say PUBG fans

anybody knows if Crazy Justice has vehicles?

@SmaggTheSmug People always said same for halo and I destroy pc players with my controller. Depends on the player.

Anyways I'm holding out for play unknown, I just downloaded mobile version. Only played 2 games and won the first and would have won 2nd , but lagged right when was going for kill shot on last player. The mobile version is amazingly well done. I hope this year brings anew influx of shooters to switch because I'm getting tired of doom being my only shooter

@SonOfVon Dude... Nintendo is selling people cardboard right now they can't be bothered to look up what are the hottest games right now and make deals... reggie can't be woken up from his year long nap until E3.

@dougphisig For pubg it works really well but switching mods out works automatically depending on weapon equipped but you can change them manually from your inventory. Actually gameplay looks and feels like console version. It's first time I was ever like man this is intense, 2 people left alive so you know only one other and every move you make could be your final.

Looks cool. I'd pick it up but I don't have an internet connection. Holding out as long as I can. I don't want a $30 bill every month, yet.

I'd like to see a decent Battle Royale game on a portable system that isn't my smartphone...

I like all these different people trying in the Battle Royal games, because it brings new creative ways to experience BR. Just like MMO and Dota and Zombies when they were popular, there were bunch of games, and still are creations being made.
Pubg, Fortnite, Darwin Project, Crazy Justice, they all have interesting aspects to them that I really like.
I would like to see the Darwin Project type survival, with different threats (zombies, animals, weather), and Bryan mixed in maybe. Haha. Instead of 100 people, it is how long you can last. A-la DayZ. Just thinking of stuff

It's a really good imitation that brings some of its own minor stuff to the table, which is great. But still, I'd rather Fortnite come over. It's similar to when CubeLife3D filled the minecraft shaped void very well, but once the real thing hit, everyone clearly preferred the original. (Yes, I know fortnite is a bandwagon game from the popularity of PUBG, but at this rate devs are copying fortnite, not PUBG)

@Paraka It's the hype virus that's infested the gaming community over the last decade. Hype rules everything these days. It's toxic.

I need this game now!!!

Oh Sony.

@Thaswizz

Have you seen the pc game “Ring of Elysium” from the company behind the mobile version of pubg?

I’m hoping it comes to switch ASAP

I don't really know if I care anymore. Fortnite has become kind of boring recently to be honest, and I don't enjoy it as much as when it first came out. Maybe, if they add more modes, I could get back into it.

@Paraka It'll pass...Now I wish the next big fad would be awesome single player games because at least then I'd actually have something in common with all the people I talk to at the CS department of my school. It's always Fornite this, PUBG that. No one ever seems to talk about games like Doom, Wolfenstein, or God of War...

Literally every one of my classmates that I've talked to over the past few years (and that's a pretty good many) only seem interested in online multiplayer games. Feels like I'm the only one there that only cares about single player!

Yaaaaa- wait...it's a Battle Royale game? I thought it was a Hero shooter?...I guess I can cross that one off my wishlist...

@dunnyone why would you wanna pick up a battle royale game after the multiplayer base is gone? You’ll have super long wait times for the spots to fill up, and you’ll likely be playing with all the players who know the game the best.

I want a Splatoon battle royale game. Please make it happen, Nintendo.

Even PS Vita has Battle Royale, but it's not as good as Smash Bros. And most people play Fortnite once every 2 weeks so it's not really that popular.

@Paraka I don't care for them either and if I'm honest I don't see any real difference between these and the thousands of PvP shooters we've had for years. Then again I spend about the vast majority of my time in single player games and still see multiplayer as an added extra at best.

The bubble will definitely burst when the loot box kings from EA and Activision get their grubby little paws on them

@Nincompoop what?

@diwdiws

Fortnight

honestly I'm not seeing all these Battle royale games that people seem to think are everywhere. There are MOBAs that require teamwork, and then there is Fortnight. Soooo are people lumping genres together?

@trakkerx No I'll check it out though. I've played in halo tournamentso before and haha when your one last few left it feels like those tense tourney moments. Anticipation of your enemy is running through your mind and you know one false move means it's over. Makes for really fun game, I would love for 100 v 100 game. Or 50 on 50.

I love you swotch, but it really needs some shooters. Fortnite, and Pubg could bring a lot attention to on to genre on the system. Dom and splatoon 2 are great, but it needs some serious shooters.

@Paraka my elementary school students (the boys, that is) are obsessed w/ fortnight.

The only reason everyone plays Fortnite is because it’s free. So in order to compete, this "Crazy Justice" also needs to be free or else it will fail.

Does anyone know how much it will cost?

I hope they can release this before fortnite so they have a chance.

@Thaswizz Lol, sure you do. Microsoft tested crossplay for in 2010 and discontinued the project after it was clear PC players were just destroying Xbox users. Even top Xbox players couldn't chalk it up to mediocre PC player. The only Halo having crossplay I can find about would be Halo Wars 2, which is a janky RTS, not a shooter.

Also do you play a melee focused style? Because slow aiming on a controller is a thing. Melee based games are definitely better on controller. But believe me, if you switched to K+M you'd never go back.

Let it take off and then watch PUBG and Fornite chase the Switch owners lol.

I don't see what you guys are seeing, this game looks pretty bad visually, the gameplay looks uncreative, and the maps look flat or like anything i've seen before in other games.

@SonOfVon I definitely agree.

> the Switch is the only console which doesn't have a Battle Royale game at present.

What about the Nintendo 3DS?

Despite my own disinterest in the genre, this is a good call on behalf of the studio/publisher. Being the first game of this ludicrously popular genre on the Switch could get them a lot of sales and goodwill.
