Sounds about right. There was a rumor/"leak" that Spyro 4 was also cancelled around the same time when they made toys 4 Bob a call of duty support studio. Disgusting.
But there is hope for games like Spyro, Tony Hawk and the other forgotten IPs once Microsoft takes over.
They're really trying to kill this series off for some reason, huh? Sonic is Sega's money maker. Sega is a washed up company this generation and needs sonic. They shouldn't play around like that.
It's unlikely it will come to switch. Newer titles using Bethesda's creation engine like fallout 4, fallout 76 and Starfield won't either, because Bethesda says the engine is too advanced.
I wouldn't mind seeing ports of fallout 3 and New Vegas though.
Hopefully a surprise announcement of resident evil revelations 3 aka "outrage". But tbh I'm not expecting any more resident evil games on switch. They skipped switch with the remakes, never ported any other games like code Veronica or outbreak, and haven't done any original switch game.
I'm mad at Capcom because they are still once again ignoring the switch fanbase. Xbox and PlayStation keeps getting all those cool remakes and we get nothing.
I really wish they'd give us in game footage of the switch version running. They've shown other consoles running, why not switch? Makes me worried about this port if they are reluctant to show it in action. I loved the Harry Potter games as a kid and this is the first one in over ten years for consoles and I really really really want it on switch but if it's a broken buggy mess on launch I won't be buying it. Prove me wrong.
I think changing the label to look like a budget release makes the game look cheap. Like they don't care about it and that they didn't put effort into the game. If they want to sell it super cheap on a budget, why would I spend my money on it if they don't believe they can make anymore than that off it?
Interesting that you mention that the game is draining battery faster on lite games compared to heavy games. Skyrim and outer worlds I can play easily for 5 hours in one sitting without charging. Animal crossing new horizons I get about 2 hours. It's weird.
Airplane mode really works too. Just turn on airplane mode and it turns off the wifi, Bluetooth and nfc radios and it stops the switch from constantly checking for updates and other things. Saves alot of battery. If you don't care about switch online features, do this.
@SteamEngenius this is a sequel to a game that has been out longer than Mario Odyssey. The original kiwi had the same mechanics and is much older. Just saying.
...and nobody cares. He's a horrible human being. And this comment is justified by the actions he has taken in the last few years. Look it up. Remember the dead body?
Despite it's problems I still think switch is my favorite Nintendo console. It's just great in so many ways. That said they could improve some things, like add a messaging system and a better way to add friends. The games could be cheaper too. Other than that, it's a fun system. I haven't loved a Nintendo system this much since GameCube.
Skyrim, The Witcher 3 and the outer worlds prove this can run on switch without cloud versions with some major tweaking. Also, This is a Harry Potter game. The past harry potter games have all been on Nintendo consoles as well and with switch having sold so well there is no way they are going to skip it. I doubt it's a cloud game. They probably have tuned it to run on the console by doing some major cuts to the graphics and frame rate. Interesting to see how it will run. Guess we will find out.
If it was a cloud version I feel like the case would literally say "internet required" and it doesn't.
Never thought I'd be this upset about a final update, but here we are. I'm happy about what's in the update and blown away with the size of the update and paid expansion, but new horizons was my life last year during lockdown and pandemic and I still adore it and it was my GOTY 2020. The end of support for the game is heartbreaking.
