Brave So this happened. https://www.dualshockers.com/overwatch-nintendo-switch-port-powera-case-leak/ Actually seems to make sense to me. There’s been a lot of talk about the potential of a switch port and Palladins proved that it can definitely be done well enough. Diablo 3 will have proved to Blizzard that portng to switch is well worth the effort. I’d be in there like a shot. Overwatch was great and it would be nice to drop back in with a clean slate. There’s supposedly a new direct next month so let’s see. If we’re at the stage of official themed cases then we’re likely close.
Brave GassyHaggis I reckon with motion aiming you can get pretty accurate with the ranged characters. If it ever went cross play, I think Switch players could probably hold their own.
Brave So yeah, motion aiming is in and the good news is it’s using the joycons a la the Wii style of aiming which, despite its detractors, was close to as accurate as using a mouse. https://www.videogamer.com/news/overwatch-on-switch-will-use-the-joy-con-like-a-laser-pointer I can’t wait for this.
Fumanstu Yes/No/Wait till the end of the month? Don’t need to double dip, plenty on the plate anyway but it is relatively cheap…. Convince me one way or the other.
Fumanstu Yup, I just got a message confirming that on the eshop when I bought it. 🙄😁 Handy for me because I don’t know if the auto download will have kicked in or not - suspect there won’t be enough space on the SD card. Gives me time to get home this evening and clear some room.
Brave They must have had a load of complaints. I didn’t get any message when I bought it last night. 🙂
Fumanstu Annoyingly there’s a patch, which for some bizarre reason wasn’t downloaded with the game when I downloaded it all of 3 hours ago. Think it’s about 10gb. 🙄 ETA about an hour for me.
Brave Yeah really pissed me off tbh. Especially with the “hey everyone! We’re ready to go globally at 7 BST” bollocks. I’m more like 3 hrs at the moment. Serves me right for turning Lily until a geek 🙁
Brave I’ve managed an hour just now. I’m getting back into it rapidly. It just feels like Overwatch. I know people will go on about 60 FPS but I honestly didn’t notice any issues with 30 FPS and handheld. It’s a remarkable port imo.
Fumanstu Yup, agreed it’s not quite as pretty or smooth as the console version but I don’t think it’s lost any of the fun. I really enjoyed diving back in for a couple of hours last night.
Brave You jumping back in to get the wintery goodies @Fumanstu ? 😉 http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/12/experience_overwatchs_winter_wonderland_event_on_switch_for_the_first_time_ever It’s become my bubble gum game. The one I go to if I just want a bit of brainless entertainment. Generally play it a few times a month.
Fumanstu I’ll be on, here and there. The kids really like it but they don’t want to play, just to choose which character, so I have to be careful when I’m playing lol - they tend to get a little over excited. 😃
