@Faruko even if the a decent version of the game was possible on switch it would make no financial sense at all. All that money and resource for a game that that is 3rd part of of a trilogy with no Nintendo usebase from the first two. Who would be crazy enough to take such a big risk. A cloud version was always the right choice.

@sixrings developers don't give me what I want = lazy developers.

You sound like a child when his mum doesn't buy sweets.

@iulis84 you do realise this isn't a switch port right?

It's a pretty solid title. 30fps which is pretty much stable now since the patches. I have only got the last boss to beat and will probably buy the DLC when finished. Would recommend anyone who gets the game to buy the climbing upgrade as soon as you can. Only crashes I have had is certain items would missing so couldn't complete a puzzle. This is a problem on all versions. Once you restart the game the item reappears.

@sleepinglion has it still got the grind at the beginning though? Before leveling up on the original, the game was annoying to play.

Looks real sharp in handheld mode. Surprised its only 540p to be honest as looks fine.

Can't wait till release day now.

But the internet told me third party software don't sell well on switch..

Fenyx not on sale in Europe eshops yet

Grindstone! This game is dope.

@JR150 capcom vs SNK 2 was a port from the Dreamcast. I have the Dreamcast version

Just downloaded after reading era impressions of the game. Nice interview with developers below.

@Retro_Player_77 the game is for switch and PC dude.

@JGruns it's not Nintendo's decision.

@GTHOLLAND the deal will be done and dusted. Shareholders have all agreed and can't blame them to be honest. EA came with huge offer!

@Anti-Matter just way worse. F1 race stars is a terrible game.

Not great for gamers but that's the downside of being a Public company. You are setup to being taken over at anytime and the shareholders won't give a damn about you're future. The shareholders are gonna be jumping with joy right now with the offer from EA.

@Razer who said you can't voice you're opinion. Your opinion is not what I agree on as like I said before people like the fact these games are available on switch.

As for gear club 2. Being exclusive I don't care about one bit as I am not a child who signs up to console fanboy BS. The game sucks hard. If it was good I would buy but it really isn't. It is nowhere near the level of burnout or NFS hot pursuit.

@Razer they just brought an arcade racer to switch that I and others enjoy, same with burnout. Fine, I get you don't buy EA games but the whole "I hope they never release games on switch again" rant is pretty pathetic. Screw the rest of us just so you can be happy you got what you wanted. That's pretty childish!

@Razer there isn't plenty of better racing games on switch. Burnout and NFS hot pursuit remastered are the best arcade racing games on switch if we exclude Mario kart!

Enjoyed it on 360 and enjoying it on switch. Another arcade racer on switch is not a bad thing. After the disappointing hot shot racing I am glad I have this to play.

Can see why they don't put them on streaming services as the money paid per steam is pathetic. Unlike music artists Nintendo don't have to go down this route. What Nintendo should do though is release the physical soundtracks outside of Japan. Give people a chance to buy the product.

@ChaosBadger777 so the option was simple for you then. Not to buy the switch versions and continue playing them on Wii U. Nintendo never forced you to buy the switch versions. If you felt it was a rip off then show them that and don't buy.

@Anti-Matter you are crazy

I have both on 3DS so probably will pass on switch version

Ah you can see the same usual suspects can't handle another switch port getting praised all over the place. So salty!!

@KillerBOB never mentioned the review in one single post in here.

@KillerBOB no shirt Sherlock! We all know the switch that is at least 4x less powerful has worse visuals. Nobody looks at doom on switch wondering why it looks worse than other versions

@SpaceKaren here we go. Another guy lecturing others on which console they should play there games on. GTFO with that elitist BS.

@ChaosBadger777 nah it is perfectly okay to be the same price. If the customer doesn't feel it's good value then they have the option not to buy.

@ChaosBadger777 you have chosen to ignore the work put in to develop a switch version. There isn't some magic button you press called 'switch port' and everything is done for you. People had to put in hours of there time.

@WallyWest can't take my PS4 on the train to work so yeah switch version is an easy buy over the PS4 game for me. Portability suits my gaming needs perfectly!

@TheLightSpirit you really have forgot what PS2 visuals look like then.

@Silly_G simple solution for customers who bought FIFA 19 and FIFA 20. Don't buy FIFA 21. Nobody has a gun to people's heads. The power is with the consumer. Again with puyo puyo Tetris 2. If customers feel the game is no different then it's an easy choice not to buy the game. Publishers give customers a choice. It's an easy buy or don't buy!

@ChaosBadger777 wait did you just use Mario kart sales as an example against 3rd parties. My god, it doesn't take a genius to work out that because the switch is selling very well, Mario kart also would reflect them sales in the charts. New switch buyers buy Mario Kart. I mean come on dude that's a pretty obvious fact and is not detrimental at all. People love to claim 3rd parties are not happy with software sales but have no actual evidence to back it up. Worst is they ignore publishers quoting they are pleased with switch sales or they claim it's all lies. They forget that in the Wii U era we had publishers publicly saying sales were not good enough.

@ChaosBadger777 the people that they to lecture others on how big games should be played on a TV on more powerful hardware etc etc are so damn annoying. Plenty of people choose how they play there video games. Don't need elitist trying to tell us how there way is the only way thanks

@StevenG luckily for us Nintendo don't act like a dictator and start demanding games cannot be released digital only. Asking for Nintendo to implement this policy is ridiculous and business sucide. You must see that third parties would laugh in Nintendo's face and walk away right. I am actually shocked anyone would think this is a good idea. This is is not the days of the NES/SNES where Nintendo could do what they want. Did you see what happend during the N64 era??

@Jester151 let us all know where you saw panic buttons contract with Bethesda please as it's amazing how you know exactly the deal they have. Panic button may or may not get a percentage of every game sold. Panic button may get bonuses on top for a target of switch sales. Again as you seem to know exactly what was negotiated please let us see the contract which was signed.

@TheFullAndy I think Bethesda really wanted the game out on switch before Q1 2021. By the time panic button had it ready for release there wasn't enough time to produce the carts for retail. That's why I think it is digital only.

@Jester151 do you think the guys @ panic button should not be rewarded for the work they put in. Asking for it to be priced as low as other versions is laughable.

@XenoShaun to be fair MS are selling all stock available. Numbers are low but they are shifting the stock which is available

How many people flocked to buy mid generation PS4 pro and Xbox one X?

A switch Pro if ever released will be just that. Nintendo will have reasonable expectations before switch 2 is released if this is the way they go. This theory that marketing killed the Wii U needs to stop also. Yes the marketing was poor but it doesn't hide the fact that the controller looked and felt like a fisher price toy and nobody wanted that. MS spent hundreds of ridiculous amounts of money marketing the surface RT and it flopped miserably. Ask RIM why the blackberry failed even after spending huge amounts on marketing. If the public don't want a product it doesn't matter how much marketing you do. The Wii U was simply a bad idea which was never gonna be a success.

@ChaosBadger777 software is what sells consoles. Dunno why people use this series s price as a threat to a new switch when we have seen switch sell huge numbers over 3 years when base PS4 and Xbox one are around same price or cheaper. Nintendo software is the key driver of sales, people seem to forget this!

Stop using the Wii U as an example. The hardware was just not a desired product. It felt like a cheap fisher price toy and bad product which Nintendo should have never released. The public were never gonna change there minds.

@Scirocco7 Base PS4 is 30fps like switch

@premko1 around the same price as other machines. Currently £9.49 on PS4 and £8.99 on Steam. If that's a problem then go ahead and buy the mobile version. The consumer has plenty of choice here.

Awesome! Been waiting for switch release. Hope it does well so we get Art of Rally.

@PoundShopOrwell let's just ignore the fact it was a PC/console game before the developers released an iOS version. It was never a mobile game!!

@PhhhCough you mean the yukes development team are behind AEW's game. The original team behind virtual pro wrestling are long gone.

To be honest I don't know why AEW never got the guys at spike who developed king of coliseum II to work on the game. KOC II took the crown away from Virtual Pro-Wrestling II for best Pro-Wrestling game ever made long time ago.

@Lord yeah how can a small development team not pay for all them licenses. Criminal!! Come on dude, give the guys a break. They done the best they could with the budget they have. Oh and anyway fcuk hulk as he is a racist and should not appear on any game. I would rather have retro Japanese wrestlers over the soap opera guys given a choice.

It's retro because of the gameplay, not the wrestlers!

@RustedHero I have never played Brunswick but pure pool has always been knows as the the best pool game in the business. Physics are on point and the presentation is miles ahead of Brunswick. Brunswick looks real cheap!

@RustedHero pure pool without a doubt!

It's funny when you see people come into a sales thread and post multiple messages but still claim "they don't care about sales"

Ridiculous sales numbers! Crazy demand but people think switch needs a price drop lol

Switch is in beast mode! It will outsell the PS4 life time sales without doubt.

@TG16_IS_BAE damn son! Stop being a hater. Can tell it's killing you seeing Nintendo switch selling like crazy

@Dragonstar which has been the way since the GameCube which was a huge flop. Nintendo are never gonna jump back into the same space as Sony and MS. The theory that Nintendo will suffer without AAA games is ridiculous. Nintendo can be hugely successful without that software. The evidence is there for everybody to see. The video game market is clearly big enough for Nintendo to do there own thing.

@westman98 funny how people keep moving them goalposts everytime they get proven wrong.

@UltimateOtaku91 utter madness! It's irrelevant what the price of the competition is when you have a machine in huge demand. You seem to think that with switch at the current price it's gonna struggle in Q4. Spoiler alert but Q4 will see switch have monster sales. Yes a price drop will happen eventually but to say they should do it now is truly astonishing. I have Never heard of a business model that supports the theory of dropping the price of a product when it's selling crazy numbers.
