Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2024

9-Volt

I totally expect Take Two and WB Games go all in in the Switch's final year. 2023 saw stuff like RDR1, Borderlands 3, MK1 and Batman trilogy, wouldn't be surprised if we see these on Switch in 2024:

GTA4 Complete
Bully Scholarship Edition
Mafia Trilogy (or just Mafia 2 and 3)
Shadow of Mordor/War
F.E.A.R. trilogy

add those to already rumored stuff (MGS4-5, Shadow of the Damned, Beyond Good & Evil etc) you'll have a mighty fine year.

Re: Review: Mortal Kombat 1 - A Superb Fighter, But Severely Kompromised On Switch

9-Volt

@dojmin You're absolutely right. But on Switch it's a little different. We either get unfinished stuff or... nothing at all. Look at the fighting genre on Switch. It's missing some very important franchises, not a single representation of Tekken, Dead or Alive or Soul Calibur. Our options are very limited if we want to play some 3D fighters on the go. Other devs don't bother at all, unlike Netherrealm. And just because of that, people are willing to overlook the shortcomings of this game: The overpriced early version of MK1 is currently charting at 27 on eShop!

@Cashews This game unusually uploaded to the eShop the moment it was announced. It was obvious on that day we'd have the unfinished version at launch. Other developers work on the game until the very last day and they are unavailable for preorder, but MK1 devs didn't. They just dumped the game on eShop as it is and devs continued to work on the patch that would be coming much later.

I'm guessing this is more of a WB decision rather than Netherrealm one. They wanted as many as preorders I guess.

Re: Switch Port Specialist Feral Interactive Teases Another Two Games

@Ainze Yeah wrong wording, I should have said series instead of games.

Because they have only ported Just Cause 1 and none of the other JC games.

And I just noticed, they replied one tweet asking if the dolphins are Atlantic (Just Cause 1) or pacific (Just Cause 2). They said they are Mediterranean/African (Just Cause 3). Haven't played JC3 but i don't remember JC2 having dolphins.

One of them is definitely is Hitman Absolution. The game features plenty of pool tables and the words "Now you've got to play the part" is from a 1984 song "I want to be a clone". Agent 47 is a clone.

Other one has dolphins and the words "Over Our Heads" is a song by Keith Morris's band OFF. It's about skydiving. Out of Feral's mac portfolio, only games to feature skydiving are Just Cause games. In Just Cause 2 you can skydive right into ocean but I'm not sure if the ocean has dolphins. It did have whales, though.

Don't forget, Feral only ports games to Switch from their Mac portfolio. You can find it on their wikipedia page (though it has some missing titles).
