Nintendo Switch Game News and Releases.

Isn't that the reason for buying any multi platform title in Switch, when you have the other platforms it's cheaper and probably performs better on?

I thought the Diablo bit was pulled due to Switch online details being included but that's all info already available.
Maybe a Gamescom announcement?

Grassey

Wahoo. Might finally get to play past the first few hours

Delighted. I finished the game on the PS4, but only with one class, and that didn't include the second expansion, I believe. I'll definitely be getting this.

Mr E

€59.99 on Xbox One and PS4 too.
Parity in console prices here, folks. No Switch tax.

I must be mixing it up with the PS3/360 version.
Apologies.

Mr E

Yep, the new SKU is "Diablo III: Eternal Collection"

Diablo officially confirmed. Good to see Nintendo having a relationship with Blizzard as well.

Blizzard have a statement out saying that Overwatch is feasible on Switch too, no chance of Scarcraft 2

I love how bad of an actor Reggie is. I miss that naturally, for lack of a better word clumsy personality in Directs since Iwata left but he has it in spades.

LOL. It's so true. He's brutal. He looks like a caricature

I got it for the PS4 without the most recent add on for €25. The last expansion pushed the price back up.

A Hat In Time announced to be releasing on Switch 'in the near future'.

A little embarrassing for the devs who had snarkily dismissed the idea of it on Switch previously.

Mr E

Money vs. Pride.

Glad to hear it though - it's a bloody fantastic game.

Corholio

The announcements keep coming today.....

Grandia I & II HD Remasters coming to Switch this Winter.

Mr E

I watched some "Lets Plays" of Bad North this morning. Looks like an excellent game.
I'm going to wait for some reviews though - it's a roguelite and I want to know what the gameplay loop is like.

In other news, I hear Morphie's Law isn't great.

Looks promising. RTS. They are calling it roguelite which is annoying but the game looks good.

My favourite roguelike games are adom, omega and doom the roguelike. I also played moria to completion multiple times but it's not as good as any of the above. I really see no similarity between these games and bad north. Just a trendy term now for some reason, geek cred or something without necessarily having the sort of personality or neurological makeup that is fascinated by extremely long and repetetive games where you move your @ about .s and fight a variety of other alphabetic characters.

Mr E

I preferred Angband.

Showing my age now.

Absolutely chuffed A Hat in Time is making its way to Switch. Been dying to play it and I've got nothing else that will run it.

A Hat in Time is coming to Switch, Gears for Breakfast has announced. The news was just shared during a presentation on Twitch, which also revealed new DLC and splitscreen co-op.

Mr E

The base game is €24.99 on Steam.
The Switch version is a deluxe edition with "All Day And A Night" and "Psych Ward" DLC packs included.

€30 :eek::eek:

It's €25 on Xbox and there's DLC extra for €11. Is that included in the Switch version?

Mr E

Random Release News of the Day:

Saints Row The Third announced for Switch.

The source of this has deleted his tweet about this. The general consensus seems to be that this is pure BS.

Also the fact that the original source said games can be built for Switch v2 and not support Switch v1. No way Nintendo would do something that stupid.

My first reaction to news of that sort being confirmed would be to firebomb Nintendo.

Prison Architect released on Switch.

I wonder how it plays on switch? Limitations and controls?
I liked it a lot on pc and it would be fun game for handheld.

I see Darkest dungoes is on switch now too ( my switch was not on for half a year ) and it is perfect for handheld.

Wasn't expecting that.

Saints Row 3 is an interesting choice. It's a great game, and should run well on the Switch. At a 19.99 price point, it could be a great one to pick up. I hope they go for the low price, many purchases option vs the high price, few purchases in order to get their money.

Grandia 1 and 2 being released too. I've never played them but I see a lot of excitement online for it.

Has Saints Row ever truly ran well on anything?
Anytime I played it you could feel its about to get busy when the slowdown begins.

Yeah price will be crucial anything over €20, and even €15 for digital, and you can forget it, especially since it's been give away with PS+ and Games With Gold already.

Mr E

It's a 2011 game. They can't realistically charge more than €19.99.
