Actually, you can!

Yep, I found Borderlands 2 way more enjoyable. I didn't expect Borderlands 2 to release on Switch, so I can live without it. I'll buy it for ny PS4 then. Though portable Borderlands would be so cool.

Well we're talking about Borderlands 3, not 2. 2 was released on the Vita if you have that console.

People are still playing Borderlands? XD



BL 1&2 are some of the best fps ever made. That sucks, but id rather them not repeat the same mistake that they did on bl2 vita. BL2 was almost unplayable on vita.

Doesn't the vita have that?

 

Nintendo being not to great with third parties again it seems. Sad days, sad days

It was a typo, I meant Borderlands 3, sorry!



If its a multi-format game it would be madness to get on Switch. They'll probably cut out a large section just so they can fit it on the smallest cartridge and would likely cost more than even the playstation pro version because of cartridge prices and be truly hopeless in comparison. It's like paying out for a track day experience then going around the track in a mobility chair. If you want to have the full fat experience you need decent hardware and so it doesn't need to be on Switch and if it was it wouldn't sell anyway.

too be honest Bl3 seems perfect. The seitch is definitely powerful enough to handle it

Not sure how good Boarderlands is, but the "stopped talking" part makes it sound like third party console games could be a tricky matter. Not completely unsurprising after the info we've gotten, still a shame though.

It looks like nintendo stopped talking to them.



And here I thought no console would have worse 3rd party than the WiiU.



Holy cats, are there really people who are trying to down-play Borderlands 3? I don't know if that's sad or hilarious.

Borderlands 3 is going to be big. It's one of the biggest new IP to come out of last gen. Borderlands 2 passed 12 million units sold early last year and they did a great job supporting it afterwards. Pitchford himself is an ass but I expect the game to be excellent.

No way to tell what happened without hearing both sides of the story but this is a big miss for Nintendo.



i don't get the just stopped talking part. does nintendo NOT want more 3rd party games. or do they not like borderlands?
