if doom wolfestine can come on the swithc don't how DS3 cant
matter of fact im pretty sure its coming and it would be no point in nintendo announcing it if the first didnt come out yet
I don't mind paying a little more for portable versions of great games on a cart, but this does flag up the Switch edition as poor value. Reminds me of Mass Effect 3 on WiiU arriving just as the trilogy launched elsewhere- as a 30+ hour RPG without much that's similar on the system it's not necessarily a bad pick if you want something to play on the train, but when others are getting 3 games at the same time it feels a bit harsh.
Nintendo got Mass Effect'd again, oof.
Really hurt Switch credibility concerning big 3rd parties.
the namco guy deserves a raise. Half of the first page is either 'why bother?' and the second one is 'gimme dat'.
DS Remastered is 30 fps on Switch. I doubt it can run DS3 at all.
The others have been available on the systems separately for years now.
And this is going to be twice the price as DS1 on Switch.
It's not the Mass Effect situation once you know the details, it's just very poor optics.
DSR is a different studio though (Virtuos on Switch, QLOC on X86) and From doesn't have the best rep with optimization. Even if it's 30fps on Switch DSR still runs a whole lot better than the original and at higher res.Well, it runs at 30 fps, when the versions on the consoles that run DS3 at sub-30 fps are solid 60 fps.
I've decided to cancel my DS 1 Switch version now, as inevitably we'll get the DS Trilogy on switch someday. Bamco doesn't want my money it seems and keeps screwing Nintendo game releases.
Well then, this is not going to help the Souls fatigue haha.

I myself am intrugued and may buy this willingly if it doesnt cos hundreds
Couldn't the same thing be said for the Mass Effect trilogy, though? 3 was a year old at that point and the first two were very cheap on the used market.
As for the value thing, for twice the price you're getting more than 3 times the content; and you're also getting much newer games in 2 and 3 as well. It's not exactly the same but the value proposition is much, much better for the trilogy than it is for 1 on the Switch and I think people will take notice of that.
While that is true, I personally still want some big publisher. At least more than what the likes of the 3DS, Vita, and Wii U gotFortunately for Nintendo, Switch is killing it due to first party and quality indies. As much as Nintendo wants big publisher support, they don't actually need them to succeed.

It seems very similar considering that ME1/2 were years old at that point and ME3 a year or so, the difference in content vs price was similarly huge too.The others have been available on the systems separately for years now.

Mass Effect Trilogy was cheaper than Mass Effect 3 on Wii U. Dark Souls Trilogy is $80 and contains DSR, which is $39.99, and DS2/3, two games that can be purchased used for less than $20, have been offered on PS+ and Xbox Gold services for free, and are routinely on sale. The bundle is good if you never played the trilogy, but the core Dark Souls base likely has purchased DS2/3 on these platforms by now.Couldn't the same thing be said for the Mass Effect trilogy, though? 3 was a year old at that point and the first two were very cheap on the used market.

As the games are all available, often VERY cheaply, I see no point in this - hope they didn't waste too much dev time with this...

Dark Souls Remastered for Switch is $39.99.
Had the DS Trilogy seen release for $30 then it would be damaging to Switch. It will have minimal impact on those interested solely in DSR.
The big issue here is the timing. It looks bad releasing side by side.
