“Footage of Switch version wasn’t allowed to be shared”
After the Xenon Racer debacle this is not a good way to drive pre orders. I have not pre ordered MK and won’t until I see concrete footage of Switch edition, same with Assassins Creed. I pre ordered Dragons Dogma as there is 30 minutes of Switch footage on YouTube and I know it’s legit. Sort it out Nintendo

@Shiryu yeah physical controls are a must for air combat. I play it with a madcatz pad on ipad. If they can get the same level of detail on switch version, and trailer looks like they did, then this is a killer buy. It's got full campaign and online multilayer. I just like bombing through the skyscrapers in San Francisco
Here's how it should look on switch screen

It’s a mobile app port, loading free version to my iPad now to see if it’s any good. It’s £4.99 on App Store btw

Edit: it’s awful on mobile. Touch controls are a joke. It’s made to use your right thumb for yoke control and left hand side has lock on button that auto locks and follows enemy’s. Then it’s just mash machine guns rinse and repeat. Weird hearing a WW2 RAF pilot shout “locked on”. Deleted it from my iPad, even free it’s not worth the drive space.

We need War Thunder or a Birds Of Prey port for Switch. There’s a huge gap in market for a decent WW2 flying game and this is not it

Ok correction to my earlier comment. When I got dumped back to main menu after putting switch to sleep I had clicked on my career before clicking connect to 2K. That prompted an offline my career new game which seems to be missing all the story stuff and just gives a calendar of matches. It's confusing as hell.
Anyway basically the whole story mode only appears to be available when have a wifi connection.
Would be interested if someone can ask 2K what kind of system limitations led them down this path.

A much much bigger issue for me isn't the 5GB save file but the way the game handles its internet connection. I played 20 minutes on my career earlier and put my switch to sleep to go to the toilet. Awoke the switch and lost all my progress because sleep mode disconnects from 2K network. This connection is required it seems. For on the go gaming where you need to pause and sleep switch regularly this will be a nightmare, that's provided you can even connect on the go.
I admire 2Ks ambition in putting this on Switch but it feels like a bad fit. Perhaps EA had the right idea with FIFA all along
