Awesome news.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Sweet! When I saw it running ok on the GPD Win 2 I figured they could port it to Switch.

 

[GametimeUK]

Excellent news I can't believe they are pulling this off. Can't wait to see how it runs. Hopefully they've found a way. The Switch is fascinating for these ports..

A bit disappointing Switch gets this port and the PC version can't even get a little HDR update

 

[Pagusas]

This has been in the works for some time, like a really long time. I was constantly being told about it and never believed it, even when it was a direct contact out of there lol.

 

[Geki-D]

I was wondering if this was going to be a streaming game like RE7 on Switch, but looking at that trailer, and how bad the textures already look I guess it's actually ported.

 

[Saber]

Is this gonna receive an Ark treatment?

Anyway, who would guess. The rumors hit hard.

 

[PumpkinPie]

Complete potato version more like.


I'm only joking, the more games the better.

 

[Javthusiast]

Witcher 3: Barely Works Edish.

 

[Thabass]

Downgrade is real. But I don't care. I'll buy this day 1.

This could only be the work of Witchers.

 

[Armorian]

Maybe it will be 2D version?

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

But why? Who thought "well I'd love to play this game at 670p at 19fps!".

 

[xool]

So is the Witcher going to be the new Skyrim.

 

[Javthusiast]

Not till I can play it on my toaster. xD

 

[Makariel]

There are still heathens who haven't played this yet??

 

[Fake]

There are still heathens who haven't played this yet??

Probably Nintendo fanboys.

 

[base]

Maybe in the meantime they will release a HDR support for PC.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Can't imagine experiencing this masterpiece for the first time on a screen that size. Play it on your TV or ideally, play it on a different console / PC.

 

[BruceCM]

Probably Nintendo fanboys.

Like me, then....

 

[ChuyMasta]

So, PanicButton has some competition now? Will wait for tech analysis on this one.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Very interested to see how this looks and runs.

 

[AlexxKidd]

Hmmm.......

 

[Chozofication_]

Looks pretty rough but cool they got it running.

 

[Akhe]

Triple dip...oh well....

 

[xpresstuning]

I understand the reasoning, and i suspect it'll sell very well, but i am not appreciative of the graphical downgrade as presented in that video, and what i will bet will be an abysmal performance which will negatively affect the experience as a whole. The console ports weren't good either, they were locked at 30 FPS which often went below that framerate target with low - medium graphical settings in comparison to the PC graphics settings.

 

[Hostile_18]

It dosnt really matter how it looks when your getting a portable version of the best game this generation.

If I may offer this advice for new players: "Do not chase two rabbits at the same time, you will lose them both".

 

[Winter's End]

Witcher 3 minecraft edition in 480p/20 fps and i'm not even joking the game allrdy runs terrible on base consoles.

I think it's funny

 

[royox]

Ok Witcher 3 on switch...but at what prize?

 

[EviLore]

Ok Witcher 3 on switch...but at what prize?

Oof. Big yikes. Not a good look.

 

[FranXico]

Oof. Big yikes. Not a good look.

Handheld Witcher though. Still tempting, isn't it?

 

[EviLore]

Handheld Witcher though.

For sure.

 

[ThatGamingDude]

Oof. Big yikes. Not a good look.

Handheld Witcher though. Still tempting, isn't it?

People tend to forget that the Switch was marketed as a hand held hybrid in the east, and a console hybrid in the west

Shouldn't expect your Gameboy Color to play N64 games.

 

[PocoJoe]

Handheld Witcher though. Still tempting, isn't it?

Story and other parts are great, but so is the world and details too.

Having it on handheld gives zero bonus for many players, unless I want to play it on bed, but I can just play from tv.

Too bad switch is so weak that compromises are big

 

[Fbh]

Wow, I was sure this was going to be some streaming thing but it seems it's legit running on the hardware which is impressive.

I've no interest in replaying this in potato mode but I'm curious to see some info and screenshots

 

[The Shepard]

They should have done the second one and ported it to the other 2 consoles as a remaster, then done the 3rd. I still can't believe that's not on the ps4 after how big the series blew up with the 3rd installment.

I'm surprised a remaster of W2 never materialized, especially after how amazing it looks as an X enhanced title.

 

[nordique]

Just impressive that it’s even running on the switch

I thought it looked pretty good in the trailer

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Ok Witcher 3 on switch...but at what prize?

Oh Jesus lol

 

[Ulysses 31]

Digital Foundry will have a field day with this!

 

[michaelius]

So is the Witcher going to be the new Skyrim.

Unlike Skyrim Witcher 3 is actually good game.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Ok Witcher 3 on switch...but at what prize?

Haha no way is this for real?

 

[Kazza]

To be honest, I'm much more looking forward to the DF episode than the game itself. Kudos to the developers for even attempting this.

 

[Armorian]

Haha no way is this for real?

There are bodies in the trailer.

 

[Newly Vacant]

Graphics be damned, I'm still buying this day 1! The Witcher 3 was fantastic, and I'm going to support CD Project Red in whatever they do.

 

[Bolivar687]

Enjoy Nintendo fans! Im not sure how they're getting this playable on the go, I just know that I'm jelly.

 

[SonGoku]

Can't wait to play this on handheld mode at 360p

[#Phonepunk#]

they did it. the crazy bastards went and did it

 

[SonGoku]

Handheld Witcher though. Still tempting, isn't it?

It would be if it was native resolution

 

[Orenji Neko]

I am fascinated by this on a technical level. Really looking forward to the in depth breakdown once it can be done.
