Oh boy, these rumors are gonna kill Nintendo fans if they don't come true.
This. Would be easier to swallow if he didn't claim we'd see gameplay at E3.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Dude be realistic. The Switch is a tiny ass handheld next to the massive PS4. Switch may have a powerful CPU but its GPU doesnt even compare to the other systems.
Snakepass isnt comparable to AAA blockbusters pushing consoles to the max.

It's coming to PS4 first. Even if this is true, it won't be shown for Switch until it releases on PS4 in 2020.
Huh...
Didn't you imagine that Bomberman might just not be properly optimised ?
The relation here makes no sense.
Maybe you should try to read the whole comment before you pointlessly answer.
It was about bomberman running at less than 60fps in story mode.

720p, 20 fps

This is dumb, you know it is, and you should feel bad for posting it, even if this rumor turns out being completely false

It's a play first on PS4 exclusive so a switch version would be queued with the rumored PC version as well.

Cloud in Smash gives this some substance.
I'd be totally happy with a *well done* port of the original game with a new English translation, polished audio, and reworked battle graphics. It'd be a nice gesture to people who aren't into the real time action battle system of the remake.

A PC version makes way more sense financially though. There hasn't been a numbered FF game on Nintendo platforms in years.

While I don't take this as confirmation by any means, I'm not so sure why people doubt this. Square Enix has already said they want their games playable anytime, anywhere. FF7r uses UE4 which ports to Switch fairly easily.
It most likely will happen... just a question of how long after the PS4 version.

Snake Pass is a very demanding game, actually. According to Digital Foundry at least.
You're not new here.
What now? Well Mario Kart is a last gen rscing game, not exactly the perfect comparison when people are mentioning FFXV.

Another E3 announcement along with a Pokemon mainline announcement for Switch at E3.
I'm skeptical about the remake (even though Switch can be extremely capable in the hands of the right devs — MK8 Deluxe looking better than most PS4 games and running at 1080p 60fps being one example).
However, the enhanced port of the PS1 original would be a perfect fit in many ways.

So you think MK is less demanding than Bomberman because it's a 'last gen' game?

It is, another member just told me. Still, the scaling required would be significant I imagine. I would like to see a portable version but, if the combat is anything like 15's (action based, which we know it is) performance on the Switch would be really interesting to see.
The way this thread is going, it'll kill a lot of console warriors if it does come true.

That's not even LKD tier, meh.
I rather have a new Metroid game than the Remake honestly.

Would love if switch version went true to the roots and kept turn based combat

Especially if you take into consideration resolution differences.

You mean the game that caused Square to make the Switch.
I didn't read Bomberman in his post, probably looked past it. Still, my point stands. It's gonna be one heck of a downgrade I thing if it comes to the Switch.

I'm not giving credibility to the rumor...but that screenshot is almost 2 years old. Things may have changed since then.

I bet the "source" said FFVII is coming to Switch and assumed that meant the remake. If anything it'll be the remaster coming to Switch. That or the Switch version is going to be a huge downgrade. Just because UE4 can run on Switch doesn't mean all UE4 game can run properly on it. We've already seen multiplatform games on PS4/Switch where the Switch version is notably worse.

Man this thread fucking backfired. When the source is a Tweet and said source comes to say, "why did you even make a thread about this on GAF...", you know you done messed up

It's not going to be wildly different than the PS4 version. No reason to make two divergent games.

Well, we're already getting a FFVI remake so..
RPG that can be taken portably. That is the big thing here. Square Enix knows how important that is.

You don't seem to understand how games work. The physics in Snakepass are extremely demanding, and while the Switch can't push the same effects/polygons/etc than the PS4, depending on what the game is and its engine, it's not that hard to downport it at a decent resolution and framerate...

Considering it's a timed PS4 exclusive i find it a bit weird that they would be able to show a different version.
No way mate, Switch isn't remotely as powerful as PSX.
I found a screenshot of it.
This.
