Hell yeah, looks awesome. Own it on the OneX but I just can't dig into a game this long unless I can take it with me. Looking forward to giving it another shot.

I hope they'll create some #WitcherOnTheGo hash tag with people showing off where they are playing, like the Firewatch devs did. We need that bathtub photo.
I might have to pick this up for the sheer novelty of one of the best games available on a portable console.
A bit blurry, as expected, but I'm pretty impressed with how many of the original game's assets were kept intact in the Switch version!
Good thing we have direct captures. Plenty of leaves and branches.
He's probably under the "book character" umbrella, unfortunately.
and after the issue with the creator and royalties, it's best to leave that alone
Well then why did we see CDPR Geralt in Soul Calibur and Monster Hunter? As far as I know, CDPR's rights to the Witcher franchise havent changed, they simply chose to give the author some extra royalties.
because those games never had any "had to originate in a video game" restrctions
Oh, did the devs explicitly say that the characters must originate from a game? Was not aware of that.
yes, it's the only consistent rule Sakurai has for characters being in Smash
Smash growing into a "Video Game Hall of Fame" is something that can be expected. non-gaming characters? nah
I'm pretty sure it'll be good, yes.
I think that when taking the decision to bring such game to switch, most developers would understand that anything less than an impressive port would be really bad publicity.
And it makes sense: developing the original game was resource heavy, there's no reason why porting it wouldn't be.
Probably by Tuesday via off-screen cam. Not sure what Nintendo's gamescom streaming schedule is.
Yeah I don't mean that we'll definitely see book originating characters like Geralt, I more mean that every time we think Sakurai has a hard and fast rule it eventually gets broken. I just wouldn't be so sure that he never breaks that one.
Excited to see how this would run. Also, has a release date ever got confirmed?
Fanboyism can get so weird.
Lmao.
Fanboyism can get so weird.
if Smash ever breaks that rule, I think it will be in a post-Sakurai game. and even then, I have no idea what property it could be. outside of stuff like Mickey Mouse, trying to find a globally appealing IP to fit the Smash mold would be more difficult.
Geralt specifically would be a reasonable one, considering how many other Japanese games he's making cameos in. There aren't that many though, that's true.
im impressed to be honest. Curious about preformance with the very clear downgrade in visuals.
I'm kinda craving this game again, after 200 hours on PS4/PC and literally a month where I was consumed by the game.
Only thing putting me off is the loading times; going from 1440p/60 ultra on PC to Switch settings doesn't bother me, it's just the loading times. That's what sucked on consoles.

I have this on PC, PS4 , and XBONE.... This game has its hooks in me, and I'm fighting the urge to get it on the Switch.
Unless it runs absolutely horribly, I'll probably end up with it. Would be nice to actually have a physical copy of it finally.

I played it for around 300 hours on PC (with both extensions) and will buy the Switchversion too, it's just nice to have this on a handheld and it's a great game that i can play again, if it's not performing horrible what i don't expect.
I really find it funny how some people are concerned about Switchplayers in this thread.
Not just this thread, but yeah this port seems to be bringing this out more than others.
Preview gone up early. Summary: Its Witcher 3 through and through. Very impressed, same as PS4. Graphics are obviously downgraded however when in intense combat, there's quite a blur. Unfortunately there's also a bit of lag.
They said they added blur to far off objects to mask the shorter draw distance which I found to be an interesting technique.
Yeah, it was a slightly odd but interesting preview that clearly broke embargo (note: they had it up as a 'review', for those sweet SEO hits). They kinda set up to temper expectations by stating that it's a great achievement and definitely feels like Witcher 3, then state that they're not sure an open RPG should be played this way (for them, personally, which is fair - it's not a blanket statement), with heavy use of motion blur and lowered draw distances that make it hard to make out distant objects. Frame rates are a little inconsistent, and audio compression was noticeable for some less important NPCs.
It's gonna look just fine on the small Switch screen, or on my 32" monitor. I'm even more on board.
Those images look quite good, better than expected. The text suggests that it might be blurry in motion, so I will wait for the live footage somewhere this week to judge it.
It is expected that graphics are noticeably reduced from the PS4 version, especially in terms of draw distance, so most people interested in it knew that going in. The question is now how laggy is it and how much does the blurriness impact the interpretability of the game.

I'd never play this outside of PC with mods, but that is actually looking pretty decent. Wonder what the AA looks like. Switch players will be happy I think. CD is pretty good with Nvidia hardware. Bet it's going to sell a lot.
Not only does it look good, but there's a good chance the game will receive a few patches down the line. Personally, I won't wait for them if the game plays decently, and I'll jump in day 1.
