Hope this comes with Seasons. I've played so much Diablo III across PS4 and PC, I like the "newness" that seasons gives me.

Can you play Seasonal on PS4 while offline? If you can't, and the Switch version is the same (meaning you can't do Seasonal while on the go and with no Wi-Fi), then I'd be pretty disappointed.

Is this a big deal? The announcement video seems a bit much for an old game coming to Switch imo. Looks fun though, never really tried Diablo before but I probably will this time.

It's the type of game that can have you spending thousands of hours mindlessly grinding over and over... and absolutely loving it. Which is an excellent type of game for handheld play.

Annnnnnd a new Reggie gif is born!

Day one purchase for me. Switch second half of the year is going to be a pricey one...

Lot of late ports are selling well on the Switch. Also, Blizzard haven't released games on a Nintendo platform for around 15 years.

Reggie is a huge huge Zelda fan. I'm pretty sure he has this figure all the time :p I don't think it's a Smash Bros tease.

is he also a huge DK Barrel Fan? Only kidding, I don't want to derail this thread into a smashbros discussion, just wanted to point out that initial observation.

From those short clips, the framerate did not look too good, though the video itself is only 30fps. I just have a feeling it's not going to run great. L

I'll probably still buy it. Those light gray/white Joy-Cons need to be real.

Blizzard hasn't been on a Nintnedo console since the GBA to the best of my knowledge, it's a huge deal. Just as big as Bethesda porting over Skyrim (which eventually led to more games)

This will probably be the Skyrim of this year for the Switch. I think it'll do really well and resonate with the audience. Hell im getting it probably.

I am not a big Diablo but I did play through the story once on PC and PS4. I never continue beyond that however.

I'm still excited for this and will gladly pay full price.

It targets 60fps on 360 and PS3, it will target 60fps on Switch too.

Honestly, if this just looks like the 360/PS3 versions, that's fine with me. I played the hell out of this game on PS3 and it felt great. As long as it's 60fps.

Reggie slowly getting bald! Clear sign of Nintendoomed right there...

I sorta thought we would see something more Nintendo as exclusive content, like the Rocket League stuff, dunno.

This kind of game seems like a blast on the go, Path of Exile for Switch when?

To be fair, the video itself is weird. Right from the CG cutscene, the framerate is all choppy. There's no way of saying how well the game will run based on this.

That said, it'll definitely be 60fps as a base, like all the other versions, there's no question. Resolution and framerate dips when the action gets busy are the true unknown.

Adventure Mode, which is the best part of the game, unlocks after completing the story (which I found terrible when compared to previous entries in the series)

I wonder how much stock footage Nintendo has to show of pretty rich people bro-fisting as they play games.

Man I hope this is a good port, I've played for years on PC and played it on Xbox...will triple dip if performance is good

That's what I hear and I never bothered continuing after the story so I might as well jump in. I think the Switch version could be the one I finally play Adventure mode on.

First Diablo game on a Nintendo plattform - so yeah thats a big deal. Also first Blizzard game in ages as well.
