Sonic Frontiers Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?

It looks like the switch version runs just fine from what I have seen, still got it on the ps5 because, there was no way I was chancing it being a bad port.

Tomorrow is the day! I’m so hyped!

Have it preloaded and just waiting for it the unlock. Switch Version has good Metacritic reviews so far, and the footage doesn’t even look that bad.

Xbox for me

Hope it runs fine on Switch though.

Why is there not an “I’ll pick it up later” option? I’m busy with other games, but I’ll be picking it up at Christmas along with every other game I don’t have time for right now.😂

Waiting on specific Switch reviews but I think I’ll wait to till later in the year or early next year.

No. I'm glad it is seemingly pretty good, but it turns out even a pretty good Sonic game doesn't really do much to draw me in. I might borrow it from a friend in the future, but I've zero interest in paying money for it.

I'll probably get it later - I jsut have too much in the queue, not to mention a couple games that are out that I haven't picked up yet. It is low-priority.

I see it runs well on Switch, but I'm getting PS4 juuuuuuust in case. That pop-in gave me Age of Calamity vibes

@PBandSmelly I heard the pop in is still crazy, it seems the engine is having a really hard time trying to load the game at sonics speed.

I hope a patch fixes this.

Wait 3-4 months when it drops to $19...

IGN rated it well, which means most people on this site will boycott it

I’ve already got it preordered on Xbox Series S and I can’t wait to play! I’ll consider getting it on Switch if I like the game enough on Xbox, but based on what I’ve seen of it on Switch, it’s unlikely as of now.

Not getting it but I hope it's well received, sonic could use a break.

@Pandy-the-Panda I cannot believe that’s what it looks like on Switch! It looks incredible!

I might be back-tracking on my comments about waiting and deciding not to get it. If this is real and it looks and plays that well I might be getting this MUCH sooner than I anticipated.
Just waiting on NintendoLife’s review… I trust this team more than many other things.

I've had it since Thursday

Man I think most people in the piracy scene have long since beat it (assuming it's any good, looked pretty boring) lmao. That was quite the early leak.

No, Sonic series is dead to me.

Got it on Steam Deck but will get the Switch version physically once I got the extra cash.

It’s pretty good so far, controls a bit dodgy at first but I’ve got used to them.

I have a lot of games to play and Pokemon is coming soon. But I am looking forward to play Frontiers. That freestyle twitter video posted here looks like great fun.

I'll pick it up for PS5 & Switch after a price drop. With God Of War tomorrow and so many other games coming out in the next few months, Sonic will have to wait.

@somnambulance Signalis is amazing isn’t it 👍🏻😊

Not day 1 or on the Switch. I’ll get on Xbox Series X eventually.

I’ve been playing on Nintendo Switch for over three hours, game is very good & fun. The port actually runs very well, I haven’t noticed any major frame drops or stutters so far, and a lot of background objects (such as bosses) actually do stay on screen.

Still playing through Bayonetta 3 (key worker, family commitments etc) and can't afford to buy every game that looks good on the day it comes out just so it can sit on the shelf for several months before possibly getting played. Used to do that in the past, still got some games from years ago that have barely been touched that I paid £40-£50 for and can now be picked up for a few quid. When I've finished Bayonetta 3, my next purchase will likely be God of War Ragnarok.

This does look very good though and seems to have reviewed well across the board. Nice to see a decent 3D platformer being made by someone other than Nintendo.

Got it ordered, getting it delivered tomorrow!

Nope got dad of boy to play tomorrow

Yepp, as someone whose childhood consisted of endless replays of SA and SA2 I will get it for sure. However, not on release, since my backlog is huge and there is a Splatfest on the weekend. And I probably won't get it full price either, as I am poor as hell.

I am interested in getting it but God Of War Ragnarok took priority this month I'll get Frontiers for Christmas probably

If it runs well on Switch I'll get it there. If not, I'll get it somewhere else.

Played it for about four hours on Xbox Series X and so far it's great. It's a pleasant surprise. It can be boring watching videos of other people play, but playing it yourself is another experience entirely. I got to the first Titan so far so I'm still pretty early in the game, but the story is pretty interesting from what I've played. The game is actually quite addicting, it can be easy to get hooked.

I like it so far, I think it was worth buying.

I'm waiting for nintendolifes' review tbh.

No theres too many mixed reviews some are saying its good others saying its terrible so will skip this one. Another Sonic game with just mixed reception.

@Snatcher why do you even have a switch or can you magically play your ps5 portable. Too many fake fans on here. 720p for the win. True gaming.

Yes but not for Switch but Series X.

The game looks ok, but I'm still not convince. For now the game has too many red flags. Most reviews seem positive, but there seem to be issues that shouldn't be issues like those Cyberspace level, why would the controls be terrible? and why are they reusing level design. The whole thing seem slightly off and makes me not want to get it. I'll wait and see

I'll probably pass but this is the first Sonic game I've ever considered buying, which is an improvement for the series!

The PS5 reviews seem to be an average of 73% which is decent but less than expected (again). The Switch version hasn't got a lot of reviews out but registers significantly higher on average so far; but expect that to change?

Anyway, I want to DL it but I may wait for the reviews to decide WHEN to DL it. Ie. If 7/10 level I may wait for a sale.

I want to like Sonic again cause Boy is turning 4, so yeah I'm giving it a shot.
Here's hoping.
It really does remind me of Arceus. A template for moving forward. Also like Arceus...the next game will likely be rushed out and barely iterative, I'm sure, so the jank template is probably more interesting for someone like me.

@sixrings "Fake fans." Is this sarcasm or you are 12?

@sixrings I think I missed the joke lol.

I was considering buying, but due to various factors regarding the game, I had some serious doubt that I'd be able to have a good time playing it and as such, I won't be buying Frontiers anytime soon. I hope everyone else has a good time playing it, though!

Bought it but for Xbox Series X.
