Overwatch Producer Discusses The Possibility Of Bringing The Game To Switch

One of the biggest shooters in the game industry right now is Overwatch, Blizzard’s popular hero-based shooter. Given the optimistic air of the game and the colorful cast that supports it, Overwatch seems like it’d be a good fit for Nintendo audiences, but Blizzard has been evasive in the past when discussing the possibility of the game showing up on Nintendo’s hybrid. For the upcoming second anniversary of Overwatch, Gamespot sat down with Blizzard to discuss the game’s past and future, and the question of a Switch port was raised once again.

Indeed, given Nintendo’s admittedly half-rate online infrastructure, it seems like the multiplayer-only Overwatch could be rather ill fit for the platform. That being said, the launch of the paid Nintendo Switch Online service could perhaps bring improvements in this area.

What do you think? Will Overwatch ever show up on the Switch? What other shooters do you think would fit well on the Switch? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Mario Tennis Aces for Switch: Various Character Types

Mario, Luigi, and Daisy are all-rounded characters, and are recommended for beginners to start with, although this doesn’t mean that they are weak characters. They have decently powerful shots, and move across the tennis court at an average speed. There are also differences between the all-around characters. For example, Luigi has slightly weaker shots than Mario, but stronger volleys near the net. Technical characters have less power in general behind their shots, but boast excellent ball control, such as being able to hit wider angles. Their Zone Shots and Special Shots are also slower, so the idea is to go tricky with their standard shots. Speedy characters move quickly across the court, and especially so when using Zone Speed. They are handy when fighting against characters that players aren’t used to facing, and characters who can send their shots in any direction. However, they are lighter in weight, and tend to be more affected by knockbacks from Nic...

Pokémon Switch rumors leave fans guessing about the next game

A LOGO The biggest clue, according to fans, Twitter and forum users, comes from 4chan. A thread on the image board’s Pokémon section suggests that Pokémon Let’s Go! Pikachu Edition and Pokémon Let’s Go! Eevee Edition are two Switch games coming this fall, the first pair from the Pokémon franchise to hit the console. Attached is art of a potential logo for these titles, which users see as lending further credence to the alleged leak. GAMEPLAY CLUES — AND A VIDEO COMPILATION So there’s reason to have doubt about the logo’s veracity. But an earlier thread from 4chan contains details that do sound more plausible. All the way back on March 31, a separate thread claimed to offer the first details of the upcoming Pokémon Switch game. This anonymous user wrote that Let’s Go! would be “[ Pokémon Yellow ] remakes for Switch” sold in both Pikachu and Eevee versions; the games would star Red and Blue, the original trainer and rival from ...
