Topic: Holy crap! DOOM and Wolfenstein on Switch!

Preview event was handheld only, probably not going to see any on-TV impressions for a couple of months.

Preview event was handheld only, probably not going to see any on-TV impressions for a couple of months.

It's a pretty smart strategy.  As a home console port it's inferior to the PS4/One version, but as a handheld port it's fucking amazing.  It makes sense for Nintendo and Bethesda to want everyone thinking of this Doom port primarily as a handheld game because there's nothing on current handhelds or mobile devices that offers an experience anywhere close to this.

I wouldn't be surprised if most PS4/One ports in the future are also mostly previewed handheld only to play up to the Switch greatest strength as well.

Additionally, it’s probably easier to explain performance going upwards. If a game runs well in handheld mode, it should run well in docked mode. Doom getting a resultion or frames per second bump in docked mode gives people something to be excited about.

[BranDonk Kong]

Two things - it's a solid 30fps, which is good, and they still have a couple months to optimize. Could possibly be 720p/30 undocked and 720p/60 docked, but who knows.

They should probably throw Doom 3 BFG edition on there too. And some Quakes.

[Stratos]

I hope the classics come to the eShop. I want classic Wolfenstein.

Shinji Mikami wants to port Evil Within 2 to Switch. Evil Within is also Bethesda.

I'd like to see Virtual Classic PC.

[Adrock]

I’d be interested.

Also:

Square Enix is trying to port the full version of Final Fantasy XV (not the iOS/Android chibified Pocket Edition).

[NWR_insanolord]

It's amazing what using standardized tech that supports all the current middleware can do for a console's third party support.

Bethesda announced DOOM on Switch

Square Execs: "ah ****! Where's our excuses!!!!?"

Also, I think Nintendo has been reading my and Ians posts, and MP4 will be developed by Bethesda

Holy Crap! This thread is full of gems of predictions! From many of us!

If Skyrim and Doom sell well, I think we will get a port of Fallout 4.

[BlackNMild2k1]

here's another game coming to switch

I don't know anything about this game, but I hear it's currently on PS4, so another PS4 port coming.
Floodgates are open. Stock is rising. Nintendo 3rd party support is alive.


I think it's time to jump on board.

[MagicCow64]

Inside definitely worth giving a whirl, but it's very much an indie game, 2D puzzle platformer. If they couldn't port it to Switch it would have to be due to some seriously unoptimized game code or some such.

[ThePerm]

At this rate we'll get a March 3 GTAV announcement.

[Stratos]

Rockstar is going to be making an announcement about Red Dead Redemption 2 soon so maybe we'll get a surprise Switch version?

[Shaymin]

It'd be nice, but it's HIGHLY unlikely. Maybe a port/remaster of RDR1?

[nickmitch]

At this rate we'll get a March 3 GTAV announcement.

Soon?

[BlackNMild2k1]

Have you guys seen the WolfII advertising and online memes?

it takes a surprisingly unsurprising political slant (thanks to recent US events....)
the worst part about it, is that nothing about the games topic and direction has changed at all....
just the marketing... haters be damned though.

Despite how much we love them and how many millions of copies the biggest games sell, videogames are still very much a niche sub-culture, especially compared to movies or television.  Those interpreting the new Wolfenstein as some sort of topical political statement are probably unaware that the series is decades old and that killing Nazis, usually in a pretty violent way, has been a key part of the series the whole time.

[Khushrenada]

Aw geez. Now I gotta ban BlackNMild2k1 for posting with political intent....

[Order.RSS]

Haha those Wolfenstein advertisements are pretty funny, "so much for the tolerant left!" is my favourite. Are the new Wolfenstein games any good? It's kind of bananas how Wolfenstein is still around, but other (arguably more prominent?) WW2 shooters like Medal of Honor have vanished. If they get good reviews I'll definitely consider getting one of these Bethesda shooters once I buy a Switch.

[BranDonk Kong]

Doom is out on November 10.

[nickmitch]

I guess Nintendo was DOOM-ed after all. 

[BlackNMild2k1]

I didn't want to create a new thread, but SMTV just announced as a Switch exclusive
