@iLikeUrAttitude I would happily double dip for X. I have so many fond memories of exploring, interrupted by "Uncontrollable" firing up as Tyrant noticed me.
Content that doesn't exist now for the PS4 version but will most likely be released in a Game of the Year edition for half the price of the Switch edition when it releases.
Eh. Kind of hard to support a company that has taken a very lazy approach to the Switch. The collection itself didn't really offer anything new and required you to download the second part of it.
@Mr_Pepperami Fair enough but it is certainly hard not to be leery of Capcom with the nonsense they have pulled (tying future support to sales of a Street Fighter port and then saying that wasn't enough.).
Since I already own it on PC and 360, I was not intending to buy it. Even if I were planning to do so, this delay would have killed it for me. I am sick of companies delaying games and offering pathetic, nebulous reasons as to why. If you want my money, ACT like you care about my money.
That's just it, isn't it? The delays are going to hurt Switch sales, which will prompt the developers to blame the system for the weak sales, and ultimately abandon it. People are not going to double-dip for portability.
Over at Nintendo Everything, it was reported that NamcoBandai, via twitter offered this lame excerpt:
"The Nintendo Switch version of #DarkSoulsRemastered will be pushed back to Summer 2018, as well as the Solaire of Astora amiibo. We apologise for the delay but rest assured, the extra time will improve your journey to Lordran.
Again, why support a company that isn't acting serious about the Switch? It is pretty obvious the Switch version is an afterthought and I will be amazed if it does not end up canceled. And even if it does release, it will have to compete with discounted PS4 and PC versions.
I used to be excited for this game but that died about 7 months ago.
Definitely going to wait for reviews on the Switch version before considering the game. Too bad by then, the game will be more expensive on the Switch than the other platforms.

Re: Tabletop Strategy RPG For The King Is Getting A Signature Edition Switch Release
Ooooo.... sounds like a great fit for the Switch.
Re: Devil May Cry 5 Will Be Considered For Switch If Dragon's Dogma Sells Enough
This nonsense again? No thanks.
Re: Want Resident Evil On Your Switch? You'd Better Have Deep Pockets
I was hoping RE4 would get ported to the Switch and was happy to learn that it was., but this is just gouging. I'll wait for a sale.
Re: Take-Two Says Civilization VI Sales "Significantly Exceeded Expectations", Excited To Support Switch In Future
It would be nice to get Rise & Fall for Switch. If it sold as well as claimed, think it would be an easy choice.
Re: Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth Officially Confirmed For The West, Premium Edition Detailed
So Joker made it in Smash because of this one game?
Re: Rumour: The Next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Fighter Has Been Datamined
Another generic sword fighter. Nice.
Re: Rumour: EA Working On Frostbite Engine Support For Nintendo Switch
yawn Why would I want to support EA after they have barely managed to put out 3 games on the Switch?
Re: Rumour: DLC Fighter For Smash Bros. Ultimate Leaked On Japanese Textboard
Talk about an uninspired pick. As if we needed yet another fantasy sword user.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Will Apparently Only Include Two Final Fantasy Songs
Not a huge loss.
My favorite is "Bramble Blast" which I'm fully expecting to make it in.
Re: Bandai Namco Announces Super Robot Wars T For Switch, Included Anime Franchises Revealed
Cowboy Bebop? Interesting.
Re: Turn-Based Strategy Game Civilization VI Is Headed To Switch This November
Well, I guess I am going to buy Civ VI again. I hope Rise & Fall is ported over as well. It would be hard to go back to the vanilla game now.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X's Elma Revealed For Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Available Today
@iLikeUrAttitude
I would happily double dip for X. I have so many fond memories of exploring, interrupted by "Uncontrollable" firing up as Tyrant noticed me.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X's Elma Revealed For Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Available Today
Now if we could just get Elma in Smash..
Re: Rumour: Dark Souls II Now In Development For Nintendo Switch
I'd consider double-dipping for 2. Easily my favorite of the trilogy.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Won't Be Coming Out This Year After All
I'm shocked, I tell you! Shocked!
Re: Square Enix Suggests We Can Expect More Games Like Octopath Traveler In The Future
@ReaderRagfish
I'm not holding my breath on Dragon Quest for Switch any time soon.
Re: Square Enix Suggests We Can Expect More Games Like Octopath Traveler In The Future
@bratzdoll
Perhaps. I am still leery.
I will concede that Square isn't nearly as awful as Capcom towards the Switch.
Re: Square Enix Suggests We Can Expect More Games Like Octopath Traveler In The Future
@AlphaElite
I fully expect that to be the case. I still have little reason to trust that Square is serious about the Switch.
Re: Video: Get a First Look at Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Running on Nintendo Switch
Looks really rough.
Re: Brutal 2D Hand-Drawn Platformer Salt And Sanctuary Hits Switch Next Week
Brutal game with fun combat, forgettable characters, and a throwaway story.
A perfect 2D Souls game.
Re: Rumour: Dragon Quest XI On Nintendo Switch Could Feature Extra Content
I don't recall ever reading that it was guaranteed to release in the West.
Re: Rumour: Dragon Quest XI On Nintendo Switch Could Feature Extra Content
Content that doesn't exist now for the PS4 version but will most likely be released in a Game of the Year edition for half the price of the Switch edition when it releases.
Re: Rumour: Hastily Updated Amazon Listing Suggests Fallout 76 Will Arrive On 31st July
@EasyDaRon Honestly, I would take a Fallout 3 remaster over what Fallout 76 is reported to be.
Re: The Mega Man Legacy Collections On Switch Debut At Number Nine In Japan
@NicolausCamp
I think we know how Capcom will respond.
Re: The Mega Man Legacy Collections On Switch Debut At Number Nine In Japan
Eh. Kind of hard to support a company that has taken a very lazy approach to the Switch. The collection itself didn't really offer anything new and required you to download the second part of it.
Re: Hyper Light Drifter Will Feature Exclusive Content On Switch With 1080p Docked Resolution
I was looking forward to getting this back on the WiiU before it was unceremoniously canceled.
Re: Feature: Hollow Knight On Switch "At The Finish Line" Says Developer Team Cherry
So the news is there is no news. "Soon" means nothing.
Disappointing.
Re: Video: Check Out The Latest Battle Chasers: Nightwar Trailer Before It Hits Switch Next Week
I need to read some Switch reviews before picking it up. I don't have a whole lot of faith in the developer at this point.
Re: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Hits Switch This August
@Mr_Pepperami
Fair enough but it is certainly hard not to be leery of Capcom with the nonsense they have pulled (tying future support to sales of a Street Fighter port and then saying that wasn't enough.).
Re: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Hits Switch This August
@Moshschocker
About what? Capcom's mediocre commitment to the Switch?
Re: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Hits Switch This August
@Joeynator3000
The Switch seems to be a bit of an afterthought to Capcom.
Re: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Hits Switch This August
Way to strike while the irons hot...
"A Switch system exclusive"? I bet that is going to hurt all the Monster Hunter World players.
Re: Review: A Robot Named Fight (Switch eShop)
A great game. Easily an 8 in my book. I have sunk a lot of time into the PC version and am strongly considering double-dipping for the Switch.
Re: Review: Immortal Redneck (Switch eShop)
I was thinking of double-dipping on this but the 30 FPS is a deterrent.
Still, for those of you who haven't picked it up on another system, it's an easy recommendation. Loads of fun.
Re: Charles Martinet, The Voice Of Mario, Will Be A Playable Character In Runner3
Awesome.
Re: Steal Wi-Fi, Heavy Metal And A Cup Of Joe As Switch Gets Its Own Coffee Crisis
Looks fun.
Re: Feature: Reanimating The Roguelike With Dead Cells Developer, MotionTwin
I got it through Steam awhile back but will double-dip to play it on the Switch.
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For May And June
@ThiNepo
Perhaps they are just so used to it being delayed that they did not even bother putting it on the list?
Re: Immortal Redneck's Roguelike Shooter Antics Will Blast Onto Switch On 10th May
Fantastic game. I just picked it up on Steam for $10 and I'm seriously considering double-dipping for the Switch.
Re: Dark Souls: Remastered Will Still Have An Early Network Test
Since I already own it on PC and 360, I was not intending to buy it. Even if I were planning to do so, this delay would have killed it for me. I am sick of companies delaying games and offering pathetic, nebulous reasons as to why. If you want my money, ACT like you care about my money.
Re: Dark Souls: Remastered Succumbs To Delay On Switch, Along With Solaire amiibo
That's just it, isn't it? The delays are going to hurt Switch sales, which will prompt the developers to blame the system for the weak sales, and ultimately abandon it. People are not going to double-dip for portability.
Re: Dark Souls: Remastered Succumbs To Delay On Switch, Along With Solaire amiibo
@YummyHappyPills
No joke. It's one delay after another.
I also don't have any reason to believe it will be released in "summer" either.
Re: Dark Souls: Remastered Succumbs To Delay On Switch, Along With Solaire amiibo
I wonder what the actual reason is.
Over at Nintendo Everything, it was reported that NamcoBandai, via twitter offered this lame excerpt:
"The Nintendo Switch version of #DarkSoulsRemastered will be pushed back to Summer 2018, as well as the Solaire of Astora amiibo. We apologise for the delay but rest assured, the extra time will improve your journey to Lordran.
PC/PS4/X1 versions is still coming 25th May 2018"
Re: Dragon Quest XI Switch Port Development "Still Unclear At This Moment In Time"
@JaxonH
If it is released next year, I'll be amazed.
Re: Dragon Quest XI Switch Port Development "Still Unclear At This Moment In Time"
Again, why support a company that isn't acting serious about the Switch? It is pretty obvious the Switch version is an afterthought and I will be amazed if it does not end up canceled. And even if it does release, it will have to compete with discounted PS4 and PC versions.
Why even bother?
Re: Battle Chasers: Nightwar Will Lay Siege To Nintendo Switch on 15th May
I used to be excited for this game but that died about 7 months ago.
Definitely going to wait for reviews on the Switch version before considering the game. Too bad by then, the game will be more expensive on the Switch than the other platforms.
Re: Dark Souls Remastered To Feature Improved Frame Rates In Blighttown
I'll believe it when I see it.
Re: Rumour: Warhammer 40K: Deathwatch - Enhanced Edition Could Be Landing On Switch
Neat.
Re: Dragon Quest XI On Switch Will Arrive "Much Later" Than Other Versions
Well, that saved me about $60.00. There are plenty of other companies that want my money out there. I will give it to them instead.
Re: Hollow Knight On Switch Not Part Of The Nindies Showcase, But Release News Is Coming Soon
Surprise, surprise, no new information for the Switch.
