So, we didn't get an official announcement yet? I guess they're saving it for Direct. I don't understand Nintendo's habit of holding 3rd party game announcements off for Directs, just let them announce it already.

Not getting unless they add some funky Nintendo exclusive content, like skins or something.

Third party probably want to be announced at directs. Direct reaches a big (core) audience.

poor wii u, it's like they can't belive it
good news, the second and third games are probably coming as well.

It's funny because it came out on Wii U in May 2017. EVERYONE thought that one of the two first Switch games THQ Nordic teased was Darksiders Warmastered Edition. They turned out to be Sine Mora EX and Battle Chasers: Nightwar.

Only took two years. :P

Almost none of these THQ Nordic games have been featured in a Direct. There is no reason to assume that Darksiders is being held for a Direct. THQ could have simply tweeted it a day early. It's a minor port and Nintendo has far bigger things to headline in a Direct than to waste time on Darksiders port -- as great as the game may be.

Yeah, and I'm sure that if THQ Nordic got a spot in a Direct, they'd much rather use it for one of their new games instead of an asset care project. Even if that asset care project is their main IP.

Hoping that this would run at 60fps on switch would be a little bit unreasonable.... right?

I would think they could hit 720p 60fps in handheld mode. Really can't comment on 1080p 60fps docked... not sure how feasible that would be. I'm just praying that this is a solid port. I really love this game and it would be amazing to have it running properly on Switch.

Maybe I'll finally finish this game! Played it on PC and Wii U but switch might be the thing I need to push myself to complete it.

I guess, like Dragon's Dogma, this is probably a case of 16GB cart games being sold for 30$€ being now an option (or an option starting April 1st).

Never played a game in this series, why do people compare it to Zelda? Do you collect items and power ups and solve puzzles and enter dungeons?
Nicely built dungeos, items that enable access to new paths, puzzles and interesting gadgets. I still believe the first title is the best one (haven't played DS III) though the last level is regrettably slow and terrible.

I think they come in 1, 8, 16 and 32. (And could probably go higher than that)

The good thing about high Switch software sales, is that higher production drives the cost of manufacturing down.

Maybe you are refering to Darksiders (2010). This edition is ~20GB on PC/PS4/XBO/WiiU. Also, the price has already been announced.

Out April 2nd 2019 for an SRP of £25.99 / €29.99 / $ 29.99, both digitally and in retail stores.
