I mean, you're already wrong. Kaplan and the Overwatch team have already said they won't announce anything or be at E3 this year.

Well of course they did.  How else would it be a surprise?  Think about it.

Just because THEY aren't going to be there and THEY aren't announcing anything does not mean that Nintendo won't be the ones announcing the partnership/release. Could be a big win, but judging from other comments about them being open to development means that if they agree it will still be a good while before we see the game release (thinking 2018).

The Nintendo console cycle begins again. We're still in the hopeful third-party stage it seems...

Switch is going to get a lot of support from Nintendo, indies, and Japan. Beyond that, everything's up in the air.

I wouldn't call it hopeless. Intermittent is probably the best word for it. We'll get some things from western third parties, depending on how the system and games for it sell. Barring Wii-like hardware sales it's never going to get a ton of support from those kind of developers, but there'll be some.

That is not true by any stretch. Overwatch could run on much weaker hardware and in fact runs on lesser PC hardware than is in the Switch if I'm to believe some of the discussions I've seen elsewhere. When talking about a minimum specification, he could be referring strictly to consoles or even just about one aspect of platform hardware (ie. CPU, GPU, or memory).


I would bet money some group out there could get little Overwatch to run just fine on the Switch. Would the textures be less? For sure. Would the resolution be less? Of course. But they could do 60 fps and have a fun game running on the Switch. It's just an online shooter.

By "just an online shooter," do you mean "the greatest source of representation in video game HISTORY?"

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Switch could run the game if they wanted it to. I think what the developer said in that quote is the truth: it would be a lot of work to port the game and then keep it updated, and they don't want to go through that.

By "pretty sure," do you mean "hugely skeptical of Nintendo having any sort of success with this gargantuan success, especially when it would be in direct competition with the worst source of representation in video game HISTORY, AKA Splatoon?"

I don't disagree. Most toasters will run Overwatch just fine. But Overwatch on consoles is targeting (and nails most of the time) a 1080p dynamic resolution/60FPS experience, minus a few graphical bits of fluff that appear on the PC version. I don't think they want to compromise that just to run on another set of hardware. If they've balked at making an official Mac version, they won't be touching the Switch.

Most conversation I have read seems to point to the need to balance yet another online ecosystem/shop. And they personally demand that all of the console systems has equal updates. It is challenging enough to co-ordinate Microsoft and Sony's approval system, adding in Nintendo's, with their very strict (and sometimes odd) parameters it would be very challenging to keep all three on a unified update cycle.

I also think that this is the case, at least for now.


The most important thing I take from the discussion with the Overwatch guys is that neither the guy giving the answers nor the developers have any real decision-making power. They won't even be involved in the decision whether it does or doesn't happen.

Takashi Mochizuki of the WSJ relaying some words from Kimishima:

Quote
Nintendo CEO said repeatedly there are "more unannounced titles" that should boost Switch itself's sales. Can't wait E3! (but I'm not going)

He notes that Kimishima did not specify whether this was in reference first-party titles, so this doesn't necessarily strengthen the rumors of a Smash 4 or Pokemon Sun and Moon port.

An all-port lineup sounds crazy, but would catch them up to the PS4's library.
