Forums - Nintendo - Lawbreaker dev says no Switch port due to lack of buttons compared to PS4 and Xbone

Overwatch is popular. They're saying this because a lot of the alternatives aren't that popular(except the OG Team Fortress 2)

Are the alternatives actually any good though? Assuming that another good game similar to Overwatch couldn't possibly be successful simply because Overwatch is popular just seems all kinds of wrong to me.

I've heard some of them are good. Some of them supposedly get lumped in with Overwatch too much (i forget the name of teh game ... it was by gearbox). Paladins is a pretty popular Overwatchlike game

LOL, seriously.

???????

Is that guy smoking something?

Unless he is using the touchpad like Warframe does, that it puts certain commands there like swapping the touchpad, pressing one side or the other.But even then, that can easily be fixed by assigning these commands to hotkeys or, I dont know, thinking of another control scheme.

Good lord, this guys needs to hire a PR person.

Not to mention that the Switch has a swipable screen in Handheld mode and motion controls in all other modes as a substitute option.

This has to be the dumbest excuse I've heard yet.



honestly it would have been a far better excuse to say Nintendo wanted us to put Mario in the game and we said no hence why it''s not on the switch.



 

 

Oh my, just the only time in the last years, and the only time ever in portables, that Ninty offered all the buttons the competition has!

Lame excuse is lame, but really, I could understand very old developers bearing a grudge against Ninty, but Lawbreaker SW house didn't even exist last time Ninty was an arsehole with third parties.

Depending on the implementation of Mario, that could sell me on the game.

More proof third parties have never even seen a Switch before. I wonder if they even know what is is exactly.

Far more interested in Overwatch than Lawbreakers anyways.

I sincerely doubt that's ever coming to Switch either.

 That's funny, I thought they built it for the people who buy it off the shelf within 7 minutes of it arriving in stores.



Isn't this coming out a few weeks after Splatoon 2???
I can't imagine this would even do all that well on the Switch given it's neither a kid nor a squid...



Have a nice day...
