Also, on mobile devices you don't need a subscription to play the card game online. Another plus.

There's a reason why Hearthstone isn't on any console.

We're probably going to eventually get Culdcept for the Switch, if that's worth anything for this thread. Aside from that though I don't picture it being a big system for those type of games.

 

[oti]

This is what I want.

 

[tsab]

I would start MTG:O if it was on Switch.

 

[Tregard]

Gwent and Hearthstone do seem like perfect fits, and I've thought for a while that a Hearthstone-ised version of the Pokemon TCG would work wonders on mobile and Switch. If Nintendo ever get around to making a TCG, I've speculated it would be heavily tied in with amiibo.

That didn't go so well for Pokemon on their own battle app using figures.

Also on mobile you have LTE, whereas on the Switch you don't.

Switch's internet connection is a taped together p2p solution. I don't think they even have an online infrastructure yet. I imagine it'll get better once their online service launches.

Nintendo doesn't prevent anyone rolling out their own managed Server solution.

Was that dependent on having the figures though? A game where amiibo cards/figures gave you shinies or exclusive cards was more my thinking.

Would appreciate a new Pokemon TCG

Kinda surprised Nintendo didn't jumped in the Hearthstone bandwagon yet. Pokemon TCG would be serious competition.

It would be pretty good. So I guess that's why there is an online Pokémon TCG.

Hell yeah! I loved this collection back in the day.

I was talking about this with a chum just a couple weeks ago, and Gwent just seems so perfect for the Switch imo.

 

[Atomski]

I think it would be ok.. not perfect.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

This times a billion!

 

[LoSnupo]

I'm ready.

They definitely need to market it more then. First time i'm hearing about it.

Full agreement there. It should be huge.

I suspect Nintendo will bring F2P monetized games onto the Switch, but certain mobile-like games probably won't make the cut.

The Switch doesn't have a persistent online internet connection, so Nintendo and/or 3rd party devs/pubs will monetize it differently.

Well probably see games like the latest 3DS Kirby game, not digital TCG's like Hearthstone or Pokemon TCG (but Pokemon CO is working on a mobile app for that too).

 

[Castef]

What holds it back is not having a constant internet connection when not at home

This. Better play this kind of games on a smartphone.

 

[AnthonypUK]

There's a reason why Hearthstone isn't on any console.

Sony lets free to play games not be behind the plus paywall, so thats not a reason why it hasn't come out yet.

I am puzzled as to why blizzard hasn't put it on everything yet.

 

[In Service]

I would start MTG:O if it was on Switch.

Yeah. Might take them 10 years to get round to it throuh.

Hearthstone might be quicker.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

See id say yes, but then think about what the industry is like now and realize how much nickle and diming dlc that would be involved... and that just leaves an awful taste in my mouth

 

[pretty done]

I think it would be ok.. not perfect.

Blasphemy. You've obviously never played a Switch. Every genre is perfect for Switch.

 

[notaskwid]

There's a reason why Hearthstone isn't on any console.

It shouldn't be that for ps4 at least, since Free to play games and online games with subscription don't require PSplus to play.

 

[Regiruler]

Konami will actively avoid making a Yu-Gi-Oh game for it for no good reason.

 

[Modoru]

Pokemon TCG similar to the GB game, but with online component similar to regular Pokemon game.

You're welcome, Nintendo.

 

[Fularu]

My experience so far is that the Switch has pretty iffy wifi, which makes keeping a connection "on the go" really hard even if you're just walking from room to room in a house, or walking around in at airport. So aside from having to deal with public hotspots, it doesn't even seam to work great. It's a really nice device when you're playing offline content, but the moment you need a constant connection for something it's problematic.

I would love to play something like Pathfinder Adventures on the Switch though. It could work as an offline pay once product unlike the mobile version.

My experience is that no matter the device, airport wifi is designed to suck on the free level.

I think not all games will require the subscription for online...

 

[SargerusBR]

edit: wrong thread

 

[zenspider]

Actually it wouldn't be, it's perfect for tablets and smartphones already. Doing it on the Switch would be pretty obsolete.

Do you mean redundant? Because you're kind of saying it would also be a perfect fit, just unecessary.

 

[Shiggy]

What makes you think that?
