Welp. That's one well-worn Switch.
Seth is on the road so he used it a lot.

I wonder why 2k didn't announce the Switch version along with PS4/XBox announcement?
Probably a quickly updated roster of the Ps3/360 versions
Giving it its own announcement might work better.

Becomes baffled, curling up into a ball when confronted with three controller options.

Looks like it took a lot of flat back bumps.

Great to see some more western third party support! It being day and date as well as feature complete with the PS4/XB1 versions is also excellent news.
But the real reason to be in this thread:
Quality posts.

That's the studio lighting. You can see in the Youtube video that the "wear" you see only appears when he holds it towards the light (go to the moment and advance the video frame by frame (by pressing the "." key), it'll be clearly visible). There's nothing worn about it.

It's kind of sad how 2K announces a second big-budget sports game for Switch, yet Spike Chunsoft can't even be bothered to put Fire Pro Wrestling on the system despite it probably being an even better fit.
It's almost like 2k have more resources..... SAD!

Spike Chunsoft isn't a tiny publisher - their name even comes from the fact that they are the result of a merger between two large and established publishers, Spike and Chunsoft.
Fire Pro Wrestling's reboot isn't running on the sort of engine that takes a lot of effort to port over, either. I don't think it's unreasonable to think a Switch version would be possible considering Spike Chunsoft has 0 known games on the platform so far.
And you don't think there's only a small team working on a niche little wrestling game? The producer has had to beg for years just to make World.

There are also games released by small teams which make it out on multiple platforms. Tumbleseed was developed by a team of three people and launched simultaneously on PS4, Switch, and PC. Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap was also developed by a tiny team and was released on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.
There are examples of games where teams lack the resources, yes, and I accept that Fire Pro Wrestling is one of them. But that doesn't mean one cannot be disappointed that it didn't go the other way.

Count me in. I've been wanting a wrestling game for a while and to have it on a portable will be awesome. I hope it's good!
There was a listing a few weeks back mentioning WWE 2k18 for Switch, but that was not verified before.

Thanks for posting this very necessary receipt. I'll add it to the compilation I've built over the last year. Truthfully, Given that not one publisher has spoken about "significant downgrades" on the Switch with regard to X4 titles, or "last Gen" anything, these kind of posts should be regarded as bannable, because they're never from the horse's mouth, only malicious rumour-mongering by antis/trolls on message boards. They're know-nothing assumptions and derailments. The Switch version of NBA 2K18 (same publisher) has been shown in the same promotional material with X4 versions, and has all the features. It will have a simultaneous release date. So, going on those things, we have an idea of T2's approach on the Switch.
Welp. That's one well-worn Switch.
Switchgate!
Forgot about that, but you're right! That listing must have been right all along!

Replacement for 360/PS3 version?

Good job 2K, That's how you kill speculators and trolls quickly. Take notes EA.

Peter Moore while at EA did similar actually. He said it was a custom-built version in response to Tom Philips of Eurogamer speculating that it was merely the last gen versions.
Nobody believed him but he was right.
Ah that explains it.

Are you trying to say it'll be based on the last gen versions? In that case, that has already been debunked by the official WWE 2k twitter account. If that's not what you mean, then I'm not sure what you're getting at with the Switch version being a replacement for 360/ps3 versions.
If you have good news, you will indeed want to get it out to the public asap.

Oh Ok. Thanks.
Agree, but some companies fails to clearly communicate that simple things.

Underrated post. I'm going to miss Miiverse. The communities on there have been ever so charming in my experience, and I still get Yeahs on there for LOZ: Breath Of The Wild horse posts.

Seth Rollins announcing a WWE game on a Nintendo platform is the most face promo he's cut all year long.

The game fucking sucks at the best of times, can't even imagine it downgraded.

Have never had an interest in this series but it would be fun to have a mindless wrestling game on the Switch for travel and to play while watching TV.
Of course, if Fire Pro gets announced for Switch before this releases it would probably kill all my interest (unless 2K somehow bundles N64's No Mercy).

Did you already have the 2k18 version or a crystal ball?

Awesome news!! Hopefully Switch will get the Deluxe version as well since that was the edition I planned on getting. Very happy no features are being cut. Could see myself sinking a bunch of time into this
NO idea at all if its confirmation, but...

I think more interesting is the sports segment support.
WWE, NBA, Fifa.
The obvious Tennis segment is missing and maybe, if Codemasters is willing, a F1 game.
Haha, you're welcome! Hopefully something more official actually comes out about it, but it at least looks to be a thing at the moment! I can't read a lick of it, but there we are!
I haven't played an F1 racer in forever, but now you got me wanting to just mentioning it!

... Thats all i want.New engine this year.
Allegedly. We've heard it before.

I still remember when WWE12 was supposed to be using some new engine or something like PREDATOR TECH.
To this day I have no clue what it did aside from increase the amount of glitches we started seeing each year.

The physics of everything interacting were better, so tables and slams into ladders looked a bit better, you could interrupt moves and stuff like the Peoples Elbow would no longer teleport people. Having more dynamic physics did make shit glitchy though
