Life Is Strange Dev Would "Love" To See Series On Switch, But It's A Decision For Square Enix To Make

I'd love to see them too.

I actually wondered why it isn't on the Switch. It's on every single console, pc and phone (1).

Ye, why aren't these games on the Switch?

No thanks, don't want this kind of game on Switch.

I'd play it. I mean it is a well known game to Square fans so seeing it on the Switch would make the fans happy they could take it with them.

Square Enix's statement on why it didn't happen yet: "It's not going to happen. Someone on a Nintendo forum explicitly said they don't want this kind of game on Switch."

@Shambo
This kind of game means walking simulator.

I'd like to see it but I'm doubtful it'll happen.

Funny it's on android and iphone but not switch

I don't get the attitude of some folks. I don't like cake, so therefore no one else should be allowed to have cake. Weird.

Anyway on topic I really liked Life is Strange, and before the storm. Haven't got round to Life is Strange 2 yet, if it was available on switch I'd get it.

@Sandro89 So... you haven't played it. Since.. well.. that's not true.

Yes yes yes!!! For the love of god how has this not come to Switch yet?!!! (Apart from the very answer they give lol)
It just makes so much sense I wanna slap someone! Haha

@Majora101 You do realize that Chloe is like that because her girlfriend disappeared and is trying to find her? I mean the campus security sucks, the students who knew Rachel are jerks, and the only person who can help her is her ex-best friend.

I'm still puzzled at the Final Fantasy bonanza we got, including an explicit focus on the PS-era ones, and with no KH title announced for Switch. Not even the remasters.

@Majora101 Doesn't make it any less true. Besides, if you set things up right you do get a lesbian kiss scene.

@Majora101 Very very well played. If it comes to Switch we'll see how many people on this forum can pick up on the joke.

@m8e3point1415 Por que no los do's?

Would love to see these games on Switch (well LiS S1 and BtS anyway) so more people can experience these wonderful stories. Don't see why they wouldn't do it to be honest.

One of the few games with 'meaningful' decisions that actually felt it and some choices I spent a long time thinking about and I felt genuine regret at some points. Can't say that about most games that do something similar to be honest which is testament to how good this is at hooking you.

They kind of lose impact on second play through though understandably but that's fine, doesn't need that.

@AlexSora89 Don't worry, it's Square. Random decisions that make no sense whatsoever are normal for them...

And I'd LOVE developers to stop treating the switch like a 2nd platform.

Day one purchase for me if they put all the episodes on the cart (sadly the last episode of LIS 2 is a download on PS4 and Xbone).

@Majora101 I didn’t care for Chloe as a character until I played the “Before the Storm”. So yeah she’s totally a bad influence on Max.

If SqEnix wants fandom putting Life is Strange 1, 2 on Switch would benefit them in more ways then one.
1. portable gaming
2. increase gaming audience

I'm waiting for it, played on PC and PS4 over the years. Love the story and a little of the music. Also some of the references to many things of the past.

@Sandro89 The term "walking simulator" is about as applicable here as the term circle strafing simulator would be to DOOM.
And we already no longer live in a world where Switch has no real "walking simulators".
Personally, and I think I'm not just speaking for myself here, I wish we lived in a world where coming up with the idea of ruling over people, of eating and wearing dead animals, of creating devices you point at some living creature only to push a button and turn them into something dead,... would be considered absurd and utterly insane, but sadly, it's not even considered violence or oppression anymore nowadays, just business as usual, or even believed to be compatible with "freedom" and "equality", or even necessary to "maintain peace". Yet if I say any of that, there's always someone saying I'm forcing my opinion and I should "live and let live", very ironically.
I think a few virtual "walking simulators" not everyone enjoys -and no one is forced to buy either- on a certain video game platform are pretty harmless in comparison.

yeah and Square Enix makes the decision whether Kingdom Hearts comes to Switch or not and they have clearly not given the green light

You would think the developer would have more sway than people on the internet.

@Mamabear

Yeah I found Chloe annoying in the original. She felt like a walking stereotype. Before the storm did a really good job of making you care though.

Please make it happen Square.
I love Nintendo Switch as well and I also love Square Enix. We all know square-enix is a strong supporter of Nintendo Switch so if they put the game on the switch it will be great but if not then I'm sure they have their reasons for not putting it there. At the end of the day though Square Enix is a very strong supporter of Nintendo and I know they have their reasons for what games they put on the system and what games they don't and I do trust both companies judgment.

Would love to play it on the Switch

Isn't it always the same answer when they ask devs about putting it on another platform? "We would love to, I less than three that console, but it's not our decision". I wouldn't really say this is news worthy, but hey, it seems that enough people read it, I suppose.

@Wargoose
Yeah that pisses me off too, literally thousands of people want Nier Automata on Switch and Square Enix said "just ask us" and now everyone hates the game.

@MarioFan02
Or maybe Disney is to blame - if they don't find the Switch to be profitable, then my nickname's namesake doesn't either.

@mist So because you don't enjoy a certain kind of game, you don't want anyone else to be able to enjoy it either? That's rude man.

Yes please, I've been continually disappointed in the Switch at some of the re releases that are being pushed through. These I would buy in a heartbeat to play through again.
