Random: Amazon Doesn't Seem Too Confident On Dark Souls: Remastered's Switch Release

Lol

Obviously 2030 is a reasonable placeholder. Maybe if it's a person who sets those numbers, it was their last day and they decided to troll some customers.

Well at least they have confidence the Switch will still be around then. That just made my day! 😛

Well, you guys still list it for the 25th May, so...

As much as this is obviously a bogus placeholder, I'm really starting to get fed up with the lack of communication about this game. Really loved the idea of Dark Souls on the go, but I'm tempted to just go and buy it on PS4 now. If I didn't have a pre-order for the Solaire Amiibo I probably would have done already.

Man, 2030 is gonna be awesome between that and the Final Fantasy VII remaster.

Still odd we've heard absolutely nothing about this yet. They said it would release in summer of this year, and well, it is summer now...

Well, recently someone on Facebook was confused because some web sites listed a game as coming out on a given date (the right one) while others displayed December 31th, so...

I betcha by that time the Final Fantasy VII HD remake will still not be released.

They've already shown it running on Switch. It'll be sometime in the next few months. They're probably stuck optimising Blighttown

@Dezzy From what played and shown in demos....not the case.

All they said was "Because the universe wills it"

That surprise delay really killed this game's momentum. What a mess.

Slow newsday huh.

Click bait. How many fish ya got now @nintendolife ?

First off if Amazon is trying to but cute then stop. Just but TBA or something like that. Second...good job on the click bait.

I've already pre-ordered from Amazon. Bit sick of waiting now T_T

@retro_player_22 Will Kingdom Hearts III be actually released by then too?

We're coming up on two months since it was released on PC, XBONE, and PS4, with no communication on when the game is going to be released! I really want to have this game, on the go, but they're not doing a very good job of convincing me to wait.

Pretty sure the game has been held back for the paid online. They know that Dark Souls players are fanatics and will most likely pay to play it online. I hope I'm wrong and it's a game that runs online without the sub, but it all whiffs a bit to me. They'll need to convince as many to pay up as possible and it'll work unfortunately.

Wooooowwwwwww, can't believe you wrote an article about this! 😲
You know, sometimes if you don't have anything to write about, better DON'T write about anything.👍

I don't give two craps about this game, but I ordered the amiibo. Just release that Nintendo!

Hungry for those clicks?? I knew there was a reason I havent visited lately..

You can get Dark Souls 3 or BloodBorn for 19.99 at this point.

Really, just cancel it and focus on Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

totally unbothered. I really would love to play this game but it really aint high on my list and this has nothing to do with the Switch!

If i had a PS4 or XB1 they i highly doubt this game would interest me as much then it being on Switch.

Same with Doom, i bought on Switch but it will neven interest me on a PS4 if i had one, i am more of the God of War or Spiderman type of games. Unfortunately they came out this year so i bought a Switch last year in september and i am glad i did.

I never bother with pre-ordering 3rd party games coz 9 times outta 10 it's going to have problems... I couldn't get into dark souls

@KingMike @retro_player_22 @Razieluigi

Isn't all that around the same release date as Shakedown Hawaii? 👀 Must be a great year for releases.

@Agramonte I haven't played DS3 so I can't comment on that but I far prefer DS1 to Bloodborne.

@Indielink I can see that... They not the same animal - I like them both for different reason. I really liked DS3... I have no desire of playing DS1 again - Unless it comes with built in cheats 😏

Code Vain (The "Anime DS" as it is being called at Gematsu) got pushed back to 2019 now. Hopefully comes out in time to bridge for Sekiro.

It's a simple error. They confused the Dark Souls Switch release date with the Deep Down date for PS4.

@PurinPuff amen to that

@Agramonte From Software aren't doing the port of Dark Souls so it's not distracting them from Sekiro. However,whatever the hold up is, is anyone's guess. I'm thinking they'll wait and see how Nintendo's online service holds up. A release date should have been in place by now. Surely they can't be having so much trouble getting it onto the Switch. If so someone tell them to give Panic Button a ring

If DS remastered doesn't end up coming out til September I'ma be big mad.

@Zuljaras
Honestly, I think I will give up on video games completely and find a new passion/hobby if I have to accept that. If Wii will be the basis for all future Nintendo consoles....the gaming world simply isn't the one I used to know and love when I had my GCN as a kid.

OUCH! I knew that Nintendo prioritized their own evergreen titles when placing orders on cartridges, but this is bonkers!!!2124#¤"

I know way off topic but does anyone know what the software update for Hollow Knight is about?DLC or something else? It was just updating now as I took the console out of sleep mode. Doesn't seem to be anything on the news feed yet though. Currently playing and loving this game,it's fantastic

I don't care about the game, I just want the amiibo!

@Razieluigi best comment ever.

I'd like to be interested in this game but I'm pretty sure it has some form of giant spiders in it which doesn't mesh well with my arachnaphobia.

It's a problem that I have with most games of this ilk. Given that phobias of spiders or snakes are fairly common I don't know why they don't offer alternatives (But only PC allows such things).

I'm sure it'll still be this year, lol. But yeah, odd decision by Namco to delay it out of the blue like that and not give an update since.

I already cancelled my pre-order after it got pushed to unknown summer date. Based on still not having a date definitely not regretting it. If they ever give us a date i'll think about whether I have time to play it then.

They probably moved it back because of the Nintendo Online service.

@PlayedNSlayed Bug fixes, there was something about it on their twitter. https://twitter.com/TeamCherryGames/status/1017240646795399171

I feel like people complaining about a clickbait title should pay more attention to the Random tag. It's not like the News tag was used. This is just pointing out a rather humerous placeholder date.

@CaPPa Yeah there's Queelag, and it's a mandatory boss. It's also on a place that is pretty much a giant tarantula's nest. It's a shame, I really love this series and I really recommend it, but I understand your situation. There's also a spider or aspider like creature in pretty much every Souls game.... The one on Demon's Souls might be the most bearable for you though, in case that one also gets remastered.

Just some snobbish Nintendo hate in an office at some Amazon facility.

@Heavyarms55 Sounds to me you need a tinfoil hat for your tinfoil hat.

@NewAdvent i hate indie games

@roy130390
Yes sadly they are a staple of many action/adventure/RPGs. Back when Resident Evil released I had to run through the 2nd mansion section with my eyes shut as I couldn't handle the tarantulas, same with the spider boss, although I still managed to finish the game with a bit of luck and timing.

@MoonKnight7 summer is not over yet. They will probably release it end of august. Maybe if tthey'll wait till september after school starts so they can better torment players. It is a torment i, as a proud member of the working force, am all too familiar with. Never enough time to play....

@IronMan30 They do this all the time.

Still eagerly awaiting this game. I had no interest in getting it for Xbox One X, as I've already played it at 60fps at a high resolution on PC, so it didn't really offer anything new for me.
Being able to take Dark Souls wherever I go is a massive plus for me.

Bet it still gets pushed back....

I heard this was releasing late August, but we’ll see

@YANDMAN I rarely buy physical anymore, but it's believable. Last I checked, they had the GCN controller at 12/31 this year.

Never trust Amazon. That's a rule of common sense.

Anyway, whatever the reason for the delay might be, I rather wait whatever it takes and get a properly made port than get it now and find out that it's another WWE2K18 instead...

@Agramonte The gameplay in BB is great. I just found the atmosphere to be miserable and it sapped my soul away. DS1 at least has the occasional moment of levity to balance out the grim.

Sekiro and Vein both look incredible and I am super pumped for both.

@Equinox but still funny. Duke nukem forever is the gold standard of development hell, and it sucked.

@Wouwter Nice one thanks 👍

@ktej75

Well I never implied that summer was over, just that, well, summer is now and we've heard absolutely nothing. I mean, August is two weeks away and you need to allow some time to market it. At this point September is a safe bet, and may even be delayed into autumn at this point.

I actually think this is the better approach when a date is not known outside of just saying release date not available/finalized.

Other companies post December 31. I know Amazon had this game listed for that date at one point. This probably confuses customers and creates potential problems down the road when the game does not show up at their houses on that day.

Well at least the Switch is getting a 100 digital shovelware games and old mobile app games on the eshop each week, lol. Still just giving us a vague summer 2018 release for Dark souls and in a couple of months the summer is over! If being held back for Nintendo's paid online subscription then until Nintendo actually have an online service with the ability to be on par with Sony and Microsoft, streaming, broadcasting, game voice chat and party chat without needing to use the dumb mobile app I won't be paying two subscription fees to Sony and Nintendo. Will just give in and buy the PS4 version and it will be half the price by the time they actually release the Switch version if ever they do? If it was originally planned to release a long side the PlayStation and Xbox versions back in May and don't get the sudden unlimited time delay! Back to Captain Toad, on the Wiiu, Opps I mean Switch. Gets confusing with all the Wiiu ports on the Switch. At least we finally got Wolfenstien 2 which is an amazing port, probably the best the 3rd party triple A ports will get. Just a pity I still find like Doom my aiming is more by strafing as I just can't get into motion controls on the Switch, but it is still great fun.
