Is there any word on a physical release?

Mr Puggsly (on 17 February 2020)

Kudos to who ever made that finally happen.

Switch version when?

Mr Puggsly KrspaceT (on 17 February 2020)

I don't think Switch can handle content originally designed for PS2.

What's odd is the lack of switch versions.

@Mr. Puggsly I'm very sure the Switch can handle it. Besides, it's remastered. If the Witcher 3 looks and plays good on Switch, then any game under that technical aspect is surely possible. The game actually makes more sense on Switch than it does Xbox. Don't know why this isn't a thing. Still, getting an Xbox release is superb. Very happy to see the Xbox fans finally partake in the collection.

Mr Puggsly KrspaceT (on 19 February 2020)

Yeah, it was a joke. Frankly, the Xbox releases of KH1 and 2 make perfect sense, especially if it was like a year before KH3 released.

We should be asking when is Switch getting KH3. Then we should beg for 1 and 2.

Rafie KrspaceT (on 19 February 2020)

Oh that one flew right over my head. I should've known. Serious question. Do you think Switch can handle a game like KH3? At least if they had the collection, they would or should be content with having the series minus one on Switch.

Mr Puggsly KrspaceT (on 19 February 2020)

I have the impression Switch can handle any 8th gen game with enough compromises.

I mean the Dragon Quest port on Switch is running on the same engine. They made significant tweaks to geometry, textures, effects, etc.

The question is more like what's the best they can do. Not if its possible.
