Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo: Switch owners can expect more support from Activision, Take-Two and others

Activision huh. Crash Bandicoot, please!



Around the Network

If they can do a decent port I actually wouldn't mind that WW2 Call of Duty.



FIFA on Switch is quite good. Shame it's like one of my least favorite sports, lol. NHL on Switch plz EA, but I doubt it.



Activision, give me World at War on Switch! I need the Eastern Front so the latest CoD will not do.

Last I checked, that CoD does not have Eastern Front. Disappointing if true.

As long as they stop using those small carts and make u download 80% of the game I will buy.

This turned me of WWE,

That did? But not the fact that it's the second lowest rated game on the platform and is generally regarded as a completely unplayable mess?

Okay!



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I expect "support" to mean something different from Western devs and Japanese devs.  Most Western devs are looking to port some of their old games over to Switch like Skyrim and LA Noire or maybe port some sports games over like FIFA.  Expect to see this same kind of behavior from most Western devs for several years.  Ports are better than nothing, but don't expect them to bring over their latest, greatest games until the end of the Switch's lifetime.  (Ubisoft and Bethesda might get with the program before the others do though.)

Japanese devs are a whole other story though.  The Switch will be the main handheld and home console in Japan for the next 5 years or so.  That means almost every Japanese dev is making their best games for the Switch right now.  If a Japanese game started development in 2017, then it will definitely be on the Switch.  For games that started development earlier, they are going to be asking themselves if they can get the game ported to the Switch also.

We're only going to see a little glimmer of the full Japanese support in 2018, because games take time to make.  Once 2019 hits, then expect Japan's best to start coming in a major way.  Sequels to the biggest Japanese games like Nier or Persona or whatever other Japanese games you might be looking for are all going to be on the Switch when they finally hit.  But I don't expect to see the full impact from Japanese third parties until 2019, because it is going to take them some time to adjust.

As long as you don't buy anything which has a day one patch on either PS4, X1 or the PC then as well that makes sense I guess.

Must be strange playing what... about 3 games which haven't required a patch after purchase this generation? Or are you okay with keeping games in vanilla unpatched states and not going online at all with your systems?

Most mind stay Vanilla actually. I hardly ever go online. I mianly play the single player campaign. As long as there isn't any MAJOR bugs that say wipe your data or prevent you going further in the game meaning you have to restart from the beginning, I can put up with a few bugs here and there. 

PC i don't mind as well Steam is Steam it will be around till I die lol.

Not sure if you ever read my thoughts on this topic in general, but every time this comes up I always say I soon would rather see carts that are say 64gb to 128gb with saw 30% writable space for patches. From a console perspective, surely this has to be better than backing up HDDS all the time that are tied to a console?  Game patches, updates and save files should be part of the game storage medium.  I know I am in the minority but I would pay a premium for that, beats trying to work out how each console works and how the backups work and the extra hdds I need etc.. Essentially I want consoles to age well and turn into retro consoles that have no issues later because the online service has been disconnected for that one 10 years ago.
