So this happened.

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.
Surely I couldn’t be as bad on the Switch as on the Xbox….??!! 😂
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.
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.

I can’t wait for this.
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.
I started downloading it last night 😉
Looks like it doesn’t actually unlock until 7pm our time, I think.
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.
They must have had a load of complaints. I didn’t get any message when I bought it last night. 🙂
The internet complaining about something? Pull the other one! 😁
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.
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 🙁
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.
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.
You around for some wordless sofa murdergaming tonight @Fumanstu ?
I was. 😁
Need to have an early night tonight but will be back on it tomorrow eve.
You jumping back in to get the wintery goodies @Fumanstu ? 😉

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.
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. 😃
