That's kinda cool, I'm glad that there's more FPS on Switch, but idk if anyone was begging for this.
I really wanted this a while ago, but I dunno about now. We'll see.
Though on the other hand, having a handheld game where I can roam big environments stealthily while wearing a ghillie suit would be awesome. And you can indeed wear a ghillie suit after they added it in an update.
Really looking forward to this, completed 3 around a month ago and while I was finishing it up was hoping 4 would come. Played the first 3 or so levels on PC and it was great, but PC gaming no longer convenient so this is perfect
Sniper Elite 4 is very good. So good that i completed it on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Bought it 3 times.
Near the end of the third game and been very impressed with the game, thought it would be a bit average but certainly exceeded my expectations. Will pick this up eventually.
Pleasant surprise, loved the previous 2. The only game from the presentation that I want and am excited for. One for 25th Dec, hard to beat sniping Nazis after Christmas dinner & Indiana Jones.
I never beat the third one. I'd have to see if they make significant enough changes to make it worth it for me.
Can’t believe this. Awesome news. Thank you Jason.
Wowww didnt see that sniper bullet coming! Amazing. Didnt expect it to come to the switch thats why i bought 3.
Anyone that had played it, does it has coop?
The Third was a real hit with me on Switch so I'll definitely be grabbing this.
I might get this mainly to support devs that support motion control and HD rumble.
I got this for free on PSN. It’s a good game, but I wouldn’t pay more than $40 for it.
2 copies please day 1. Also bring Zombie Army 4 to Switch please Rebellion 😄
Another one for the wishlist... that direct was a blitzkrieg on my budgetary prospects...
SE 3 looks amazingly good on the Switch and SE4 looks awesome too according to the pictures. I am glad the series is back!
I'm only buying if it gets a physical release
I’d never touched any of these before the switch games as I didn’t think I’d like the stealth nature but I loved them. I never finished either. I will go back and try and finish before these come out
@Brummieendo90 I’m pretty sure 2&3 did so it probably will
These games are quite fun... and actually benefit from motion control aiming if done right... I already bought this one on Steam for super cheap, but otherwise I would consider a play-through on Switch.
Best one of the bunch imo. Will deffo grab this.
Never thought I'd hear "Hitler" in a Nintendo Direct
The game in which famously you can shoot Nazi testicles off. What more do you need?
I’m taking this one, mom. Thanks.
Got number 3 on Switch back in June this year, and I love it; however, I am absolutely God AWFUL at it To the point where if I can't get past the bit I'm stuck on (which is only like level 2 or 3 of the campaign), that I'll be trading it in soon

Underestimating a platform can be detrimental to your strength. This is the kind of U-Turn that I really love :lol:
I'm nothing expecting it to run fully stable on the Switch we all know and have, though. I hope that's for the well if they want to keep the visual identity...
