This won't be coming to Switch. Personally I doubt I'd buy it again if it did. Very overrated game for me. General gameplay and controls are not great. This game got by on the story and presentation,which is stellar,but the rest is just ok for me. I have no desire to play it again personally. It felt like it was becoming tedious and a chore long before it got to the end,and i put that mostly down to the unsatisfying gameplay,the shooting mechanics especially. It is a great looking game no doubt but you won't even get that on the Switch if it were to happen
@NotoriousWhiz I want salt and sanctuary on switch but its never in a sale. got it on ps4 but I'm not paying full price for it again. I find it strange it's never in any sales on Switch
@Spoony_Tech Unfortunately I don't think Capcom care about a Switch MH game. The success of MHW is all they care about now. they'll see a Switch only game as a step backward and not something they'll want to focus on. Just my opinion of course as I hope I'm wrong
@HarryHyruleHero Yes I know, it's quite a kick in the nuts for CDPR,among others. (not that I think they'd care). How can one of the best games ever made be omitted for that rubbish 😣
Pretty lacklustre if I'm honest. I was expecting better. Ori may be all i pick up,unless anyone knows if it's getting a physical release?Plus, not one 1st party game in all those listed. No Resi games either,which I'd usually expect to be in a sale
Well deserved. For me it was between RE2Make and Sekiro. Not played Outer Worlds but heard good things. And personally I'm done with Kojimas pretentious guff so I'm glad Death Stranding didn't win. Not that any of it matters really, but nice to see FromSoft get the recognition
Will he really get to announce anything hype for Nintendo? seeing as he doesn't work for them anymore. As long as Death Stranding doesn't win Game of the Year,or this whole show will lose any credibility it's built up over last few years,where it has somewhat improved each year
@Juma009 Unfortunately it seems Netflix can't help themselves with that kind of crap,along with Disney and everything Hollywood churns out over the last few years. But I'll give them a chance with The Witcher. I'm not too informed with regards to the material in the books so its new for me,but hopefully it'll be worth watching
not really been into Pokemon but got to admit the graphics on this recent one is dissappointing. when you consider they could have got it looking something like DQ11s or BOTW and it still looks like a 3ds game upscaled,I can see why fans are disappointed,not to mention the various content removed. Its not for me really but the kids will nag me to get it i imagine. So......Sword or Shield?
Well as a white heterosexual man,I despise her as much as she does me. So she can F=%$ right off back to her virtue signalling Hollywierd life with the rest of those immoral nutjobs. She likes Nintendo? who cares and why is this news?
My membership was due for renewal in September. I haven't bothered renewing it. Played some of the SNES games when they first released for a few minutes. I don't play online.So i doubt I'll ever pay for it again to be honest.Some people may say its only £20 a year but its still money wasted if i never use the features. Cloud saves tied to it is also bs but hey, if my saves go missing then so be it
Maybe concentrate on releasing some good complete games Ubisoft. Instead of the sh*t filled monetization that you're moving towards like other crap publishers. The casuals mostly on the other platforms,where those games thrive,are really making it worse because they support those disgusting business models. Every game they release has 6 different versions,meaning if you only buy the base game you immediately know content has been purposely removed to make you buy it back. Making this acceptable and the new normal should not be supported
Good console. I think it helped that they hadn't had any real competition for the first 4 years of its release. Microsoft dropped a clanger and Nintendo had the WiiU.....so yeah
Maybe they should release a patch to reduce the price of these overpriced shody ports,that even on their 'sale' price,are still more expensive than other platforms. I'm done with Capcom
It also requires me to not give a damn about mobile crap on the Switch with shady business practices.Always online? what is the reason? how do they justify this? why is it required? gaming slowly moving in a worse direction. if this is what's to come and more common in the next generation of consoles with regards to game designs,then I'll be sticking to current and retro games for the foreseeable future
Notice how they mention games that are not even on the Switch?MHW & RE2 remake. Capcoms intentions are clear when it comes to the Switch. Put out much older,overpriced crap ports,with no regard for quality of said ports and that'll do. In the meantime,put out all the good stuff and new releases on other systems.Nintendo websites will continue to give them coverage of future games that they still won't bring to the Switch. Their current intentions don't suggest any changes coming in that regard. Unless they're trying find a way of porting MHW to the Switch,don't expect a new MH at all for the system
pointless playing with a wheel unless it has force feedback. I'd love GRID to have force feedback steering wheel support. My Thrustmaster T150 would be the way I'd always play it. Nintendo overpricing their accessories once again. especially the pro model
@frabbit Same for me. On PS4 i turned it off immediately. Gives me eye strain for some reason,like a dizzying effect. I've not experienced that on any other game really
@KIRO 😁 I'm in the UK. got an email Friday afternoon to say it was despatched and it arrived this morning. not had chance to start it yet. There is a 3gb download when I updated the software. I'm thinking it may be the optional languages. I was surprised with the download but it seems this was also an extra download option on other platforms so I can only assume it's the same on Switch. Good luck getting yours on time 👍
got the game early today. not played it yet and not read through this review either so not sure if it's mentioned,but there is a update of 3.1gb download. while the full game being on the 32gb card is fantastic. what is the extra 3gb?
@Silly_G Any new game I get I always go to the update software option before starting it to see if there is a patch. I don't know if is mandatory in that sense as i didn't click on the game icon itself.I checked under software in data management settings and its listed as 3.1gb on my sd card. Just thought there would be some info out there about it as they've been very transparent with all the info they've shared
Anyone know what the day one 3gb patch is for The Witcher 3? got my copy early and its downloading this patch. Thought there'd be some reviews out by now or at least some update around something like this. CDPR are good about sharing this kind of stuff,but I've not heard anything regarding the day one download. Come on NintendoLife give us some info if not the review!
Another one added to the list of non purchases then. CDPR will deserve the sales they'll get for the Witcher 3(I hope it'll be large numbers). They continue to put these 'AAA' third party publishers/developers to shame. Ubisoft continue to show,along with EA,Activision, as to why I haven't bought one of their games for many years. Mario Rabbids is an exception seeing as they couldn't actively screw that up as its a Nintendo game really. Personally I'm pretty much done with these big third party developers new games,if that's what you can even call the majority of them these days. As they're now just touted as (barebone) 'live services'. And they still manage to mess up re-releases of their older games.Its kind of worrying where gaming is heading really. Especially when you look at the crap surrounding Google Stadia. I hope that thing fails hard
Gives me a good enough reason to now download the older games,especially now they've patched them to address the graphical and audio bugs people had highlighted when they first released. Got plenty of hours to put into The Witcher 3 soon too so this delay isn't a bad thing for me personally. Shame DOOM 64 is also tied to it though as I'd have picked that up next month
Is Salt & Sanctuary part of the current sale on the UK eshop? I want it on Switch but I'm not paying full price for it again and it never seems to be in any sale that's on the eshop
@Stocksy The Game Collection or Base.com got cheaper prices. I pre-ordered mine from game collection a months so ago when they had 10% off everything including pre-order. got mine for just over £40. hope it helps 👍
@Ooccoo_Jr Agreed,such a great game and I can't wait for Silksong. At full price it's still a good deal so at this price its got to be top of the list for those that don't already own it
Does this mean I can hold out hope of my Thrustmaster t150 working on the Switch in the near future? I really like grid but playing with a controller is a mile away from being how to best play it,never mind one with digital triggers. Yes I'm aware the gamecube controller is supported but a FFB wheel will always be best for racing games
@SwitchedOn_Games I've watched all your vids regarding this game this week and you've definitely helped sell it to me. Great content. Didn't realise how much I missed playing a decent realistic racer until now and GRID looks like it'll scratch that itch
Already pre-ordered The Witcher 3 for near £10 less than the UK store so I'm good. Everything that comes with the complete edition are great little extras too. DQ11 I'm not sure about personally but may pick up down the line. Ni No Kuni i also considered this month,but knowing the Switch has been shafted with the original ps3 port rather than the upcoming remastered version going to other platforms has turned me off completely. GRID looks to be worth a pick up too,shame its download only though.
@JR150 The casuals are either ignorant to it or just dont care or have the money to not care. Unfortunately it will never go away now,no matter how much it's despised by gamers. We're not the target audience
