Are you sure? PC min specs look rather humble. Other PC versions of Switch ports are in the same class of raw power.

  • Operating system: Windows Vista/7/ 8/10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
  • Processor: Intel Core i3 or AMD Phenom X3 865.
  • Video: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460, ATI Radeon HD 4850, or Intel HD Graphics 4400.
  • Memory: 768 MB VRAM, 4 GB System RAM.
  • Storage: 7200 RPM with 5 GB available HD space

on the highest settings? i was talking about those, not min

Oh lord the Highest settings of overwatch includes running the game at 4k which you would have a hard time doing on 99% of PCs even, it would set the Switch on fire to even launch the game on those settings lol, have you seen the units tiny fan?

Notice how you didn't answer my question? How long do you think overwatch - you know the THREAD YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW - would last on a handheld?

edit: infact ignore that. Your inability to have a basic conversation, answer any questions. Combined with the fact you are admitting you are being overly aggressive and your desperate attempt (twice now) to end a conversation with "you're wrong" makes you an absolute waste of time.

Instead of getting into a fight or reporting you - I'll just ignore you.

Wait are you refering to Overwatch as an MMO so in your question? I genuinely did not think you would consider a 6v6 team shooter as being MMO?

But yeah, if you think the Switches wifi unit uses double the power of the whole system then power to you! Ignore me away. Also You'd be hard pressed to find any player of Overwatch referring to it as massively multiplayer.

Just saying if you want to take it as an insult to be told that you are wrong so be it, but that doesn't change the basic fact that you are not correct in what you're saying lol.

Comedy that you want to think of me saying you are incorrect based on facts as insults, yet do not consider saying I'm not "acting like an adult" as being just dandy chat. I'm out! Of the chat with you I mean, not the thread, the thread is interesting.


Yeah, in this case, probably good to just let this one go, fellas!

Aye, wasn't any major agression meant here, think there was maybe just a bit of confusion on my part with the MMO question, was no insult meant Bandor though. No sleep to be lost over it eh!

You know I always wonder if they leave off nice costumes for Ana and Widow because of the fact that 90% of a game you are never going to see their model? They're just up out of the way hiding. Although Hanzo did get a Shang Tsung looking Halloween skin... Maybe the devs are just perfectly happy with Widows shiny butt.

While I do appreciate her butt I still want more skins for her, so far her selection is pretty poor.

Obvious Nintendo hater is lying. Everyone else says it's very easy to develop for Switch.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I honestly don't see this as a comment on technical difficulty, but rather a difficulty working with Nintendo's infrastructure. Their online setup makes everything Nintendo a centric and limits developer/publisher options. The game shouldn't be that hard to port, otherwise.

Overwatch is kinda demanding on pc, don't see how that would happen unless they really tried to make a good port

Not really. Low-settings, 720P you can run the game on a toaster.

I got the game running just fine on a Core 2 Quad, 4GB Ram, Radeon 6570 and later a Radeon R7 240.

Blizzard are very focused on gameplay over technical achievements.
Overwatch is not a graphically intense game, it never was, graphically it is very simple and clean. And that works well for what Blizzard was aiming for.

Blizzard tend to balance overwatch depending on the control scheme, so that could be a ton of extra work in the Switch's case.

OW can´t possibly be very demanding, and it would fit the Switch prefectly. Imagine setting up 4 Switches for a local multiplayer match anywhere you want =).

Read the rest of the comments, and I said kinda, not really demanding
