Both Splatoon and Mario Kart can be played offline. Overwatch can't.

But it's core game needs to be online all the time.

 

[ekim]

Every time I read the title of the thread I think Nintendo switched their partners. lol

 

[Air]

I'm not sure how online dependent games will be a problem. 3DS has wifi, this will probably have wifi in portable mode.

I would love for them to add local multiplayer with bots for the Switch version of Splatoon

Where you can bring your Switch system and play on your on screens with other people

I'd like second campaign. I'd even pay extra for it as dlc.

Weren't Square-Enix "considering" Dragon Quest X for Switch? That right there should invalidate any doubts about online-heavy games being unsuitable for Switch.

Not just considering, the producers re-confirmed both Switch and PS4 versions a while ago

I think DQ X was announced for the NS. Same with DQ XI. So it would mean that online heavy games can be played...just make sure you have a reliable internet connection before you start moving around....

 

[James Scott]

DQX was also on Wii and 3DS, btw

 

[Megalosaro]

O hope we get the Switch version of X. I was playing the PC version earlier today. SO good

Japan it's getting the Switch version of DQX, west side I doubt it.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Online dependent games probably aren't gonna be that big on Switch. Yeah they'll be perfectly playable in console mode but the tablet mode would have less reliable. If Nintendo's straight up mandating that every game runs in both modes, then a lot of online driven games can effectively cut off.

Online games are perfectly capable of running in portable mode, so it's not like they'll be driven off by Nintendo requiring they do so. DS is where Nintendo's big steps online started with games like Mario Kart and Animal Crossing, and with 3DS they've even got online-only games like DQX on the thing.

Sounds like Jenny LeClue developer interested in working with Switch at some point.

Okami HD

I was just playing that game earlier today and it made me think what a missed opportunity it was that Okami HD never came to Wii U. That game came out just months before the Wii U launch did. The paintbrush mechanics were practically begging for it.

God I hope Nintendo can get a Capcom-approved, PG-developed Okami 2 going on. I think my heart would give out like nobody's business.

I definitely felt like Okami HD would have been great on Wii U if it released with possible option of stylus, motion and tradition controls for the game if Capcom was willing to port it and make sure it was a good port.

I was thinking of that when I thought of the HD version too!

Saw Vooks retweet this.

In a new interview with fellow Australian site Maxi-Geek, Tantalus CEO Tom Crago has confirmed the team are working on the Switch;

"I can confirm that we’re working on Switch, and have been for some time. Our titles haven’t been announced as yet, but keep an eye out for more news soon."

http://www.vooks.net/twilight-princess-hd-developer-tantalus-working-nintendo-switch/

Funky Barn returns!? Maybe they're doing ports like with the Wii U launch of Mass Effect 3.

Edit: Also from the link.

We’ve always worked on Nintendo platforms and now of course after Twilight Princess HD our relationship with Nintendo is stronger than ever. I expect fans will look back through Nintendo’s catalogue and think about which titles they’d like us to bring to Switch. Everyone should feel free to make suggestions on our FaceBook page

Must be Skyward Sword HD. Whatever it is, Nintendo is working with them again.

 

[Principate]

Let's see (retail published examples that Switch shows that was on Wii U but not shown in the Wii U pic):

505 Games: Terraria
Activision: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Codemasters: F1 All-Stars (was retail in all but NA IIRC)
Koei Tecmo: Warriors Orochi 3: Hyper
Level-5: Yo-kai Watch: Just Dance
Spike Chunsoft: Epic Mickey 2 (JP-Only)
Take 2: NBA 2K12
Telltale Games: Minecraft: Story Mode Complete Series
THQ Nordic: Legend of Kay Anniversary (THQ Nordic didn't exist in 2011 though)
Warner Bros: Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition

Just one example for each that's at least hardcore if there is one.

Level 5 doesn't count do you even know when the first yokai watch even came out let alone when yokai watch dance did which was made by Ubisoft. That slide is about launch window or games that were in development at that time. Level 5 was neither.

Big name IP being ported to NS Confirmed!

If not SS, then?

I would too. That post wasn't what games I expect, more just examples of titles I'd like to see.

 

[PtM]

We are currently carrying out research with regards to multiplatform implementation of software for PS4 and Xbox One on to the Nintendo Switch
However, we do feel that there are differences in the desired direction and the play-style of the Nintendo Switch and those of the PS4 or Xbox One.

Well, I don't expect them to port a lot of stuff because they don't actually have anything to port besides Resident Evil 7. What they do for Switch are probably gonna be brand new stuff. Monster Hunter is a lock, but I also expect Capcom to dig deep into their legacy to find something cool to revive. And it's not going to be Megaman.

Capcom wants to grow Monster Hunter in West, feels handhelds are limiting sales there

 

[cw_sasuke]

Testing the waters followed by shitty spin-offs.

I dont think so - HD development is too expensive and Capcom isnt in a position develop lackluster exclusive Spin-offs for a system.

I expect them to bring the whole AA series, Okami HD (not before 2018 though), REmake, RE0 and the upcoming RE2Remake. Monster Hunter XX as well as the next MH maingame seem likely too.

One BeatEm Up Collaboration w. Nintendo could happen as well - but not anywjere near launch because of Smash.

I know I predict this at the beginning of every Nintendo system, but...

Nintendo Vs. Capcom. Please make it happen!

Fortunately Switch is also a home console.
