Dutch Developer Ronimo Releasing Swords & Soldiers II Shawarmageddon On Switch

Mmmm. I’d like to try out a demo as I’m not sure if the genre is for me. Fun ideas though, so all the luck to them.

Any Scots here able to say if that accent is legit?

ehh i already bought it on wii u and no point.

Ronimo, I love you!

Now bring me Awesomenauts.

I won’t be double dipping, but it’s a good game.

That subtitle is..um...something.

@rjejr Tempted? It's more of the same but plus extra and a port to boot!

I really enjoyed this game. I am glad it is being brought to Switch. I think it will sell well.

I might have to get this I really liked the first game and I skipped this on the Wii U because of price and it had no online play to my knowledge on the Wii U .

I loved Awesomenauts to an unhealthy degree. Gimme a sequel. Please. Never tried one of these, but a demo might sway me.

I might buy this one again because of the online. That was missing in the Wii u version which I otherwise loved.

I bought it in Wii U and also the cool soundtrack. Great game but I will not buy it again.

Zeg makker, wat is dit voor angelsaksisch gebrabbel! (Sorry, my inner r/cirkeltrek’er is leaking)

The great thing about the switch is that as a relapsed gamer.

Now almost 30 but had a hiatus from serious gaming since my teens, only dipping in and out of AAA titles I was interested in.

That was until the Switch launched, first console I have ever got on launch day. It appeals to my lifestyle, mixes new releases and re releases of brilliant games I never got to play but can now do at my convience.

This is the best platform for gaming I have ever had. And I have been gaming since the Atari.

Never seen it spelt as 'shawarma' before.It's really popular in the Netherlands, there seemed to be 1 or more Shoarma and Falafal takeaways or cafes on every 2nd street.

I actually lived in the Netherlands when I played the original S&S on Wiiware and am very familiar with the city the developer is based, lived in Utrecht for 6 months, beautiful city.This article has just brought on a dose of Dutch nostalgia for me. Hard to believe I spent 7 years there, feels so long ago now.

@aaronsullivan Nah. Besides my "no double dipping" policy I really didn't like the 2nd game at all. I liked the first game enough I broke that policy, possibly twice, triple dipping?, b/c it was such a great game. It had a great balance of funny story, tutorial levels, newness, and ramp up. The 2nd game just felt like 1 new tutorial level after another adding more and more characters without ever adding anything new and never really getting a chance to focus on mastering anything b/c they kept adding new but similar stuff. I played through the campaign once and that was it, never had any desire to go back. If they added the new stuff to the Wii U version for under $5 I'd get it, my son thought highly of the sequel, but that's about it.

We finally did get Mario + Rabbids Gold so the Switch is getting some use. My 1 son finished everything in the main and DLC storyline, no extras, my other son did all of the main game. I'm about halfway through the story then got involved in summer stuff. We just got back from 2 days on Fire Island, the weekend before was up in the Berkshires, next week is in Ogunquit, Maine, apparently a big tourist town. After that it's back to gaming. ☺ Oh, my entire family is watching me play Ni No Kuni 2. It's a JRPG with a ton of reading, so everyone is taking turns reading stuff out loud while I press the buttons. About 30 hours in, looking to time it to end with summer when homework rears it's ugly head, 8th and 11th this year, it's getting real. FAFSA, Excelsior, choosing schools, it's practically a job.

You get the summer off from teaching or you teaching summer school? You didn't lose your job did you? I know a few people on here with job issues, and something tweaked in my head when I wrote about you teaching. Well hope your enjoying summer with fam. Summer to me isn't about the destination, it's about the company you keep while enjoying it.

Oh, my kids have started Labo, car and fishing pole, probably do the rest after vacay next week, no rush, it's a summer long outdoor project.

@rjejr you didn't like Swords and Soldiers 2? I can't agree with you there, I thought it was great.

Nice~

@IronMan30 Yeah, my 15 year old son really liked it too. He keeps looking at me weird when I tell him I don't like it. We've discussed it a bit but neither of us has budged, he still likes it, I still don't. I'm not sweating it or anything, I wouldn't talk anybody out of buying it, but I do think the first game was better. Well it was better on Wii, I didn't like the controls at all on PS3 until they added in the Move controls. I can't even recall how it controlled on the Wii U. If Switch made 2 like 1 w/ pointer controls w/ the Joycon it might be worth a go I suppose.

Reading up on this update it appears to be focused on online multiplayer so that's a pass for us. I'm still waiting to buy Mushroom Wars 2 for us - I missed the pre-order 10% off so now I'm waiting for a sale.

This was a gem on Wiiware. Loved it then but couldn't get back to it on Wii U.

@rjejr Still got that teaching job. It's great and I love it. With the graduate classes I'm taking though, it can be a little intense with time. We weren't going to go anywhere for vacation this Summer and then we up and did it pretty big for a week and a half. We are back now, and I have a ton of work to do. I'm setting up an online version of the game industry class I teach and starting up another graduate class (that I'm taking) on mobile apps development.

My daughter is a teen this year, so I need all sorts of prayer and supplication. The age of your kids is terrifying to me, right now! It's awesome that you are doing so much with them, though.

I had forgotten that you jumped on Swords and Soldiers 2, actually! I was thinking maybe this would get you to finally buy the sequel.

@Paraka agreed! Awesomenautd!

@aaronsullivan You have all my well wishes for a dad of a teen daughter. Have you started saving for a huge Sweet 16 party yet? (I threw two 80 person bar mitzvah's, so I can sympathize. And I'm not even Jewish.)

You probably shouldn't have written me if your'e busy with school, you know how wordy I get. Glad to hear everything is going well. I do recall you going to grad school now that you mention it, but it did totally slip my mind. Summer vacay's are great, glad you got to take one. Impromptu one's can be even more fun than planned ones, though airfare can get you .My 2 teen sons have still never been on a plane. Maybe soon. We've been discussing redoing our kitchen for $40k but now I'm thinking keep the old kitchen and fly someplace nice instead.

All right, I'll let ya get back to it. Good luck, with everything. Keep doing enough for both of us since I'm still not doing anything yet, though the time really is coming for a job.

@rjejr We stuck to driving. I'm doing some last minute work right now. So, naturally I'm on here chatting with you.

kickstarter already canceled.

Fun fact: The title is a pun on Shoarma, wich is basically a form of Kebab! I know because I am dutch.
