I was not aware of this. Then I dunno why they're charging $60 more for it.
I still have not played D3 and I might give it a try on Switch though.

How are you guys seriously missing the entire point of that post? lol
And you're saying the Switch version will never be available for half the retail price?
Yeah that's a no from me at that price. I mean, I guess it's a good option for others who might have passed on PC and console thus far but at that full retail price they really need to offer some additional stuff. Necro and the expansion really aren't enough imo to warrant a full price like that.
All that said, I was very impressed how well it played on Xbox so I'm sure it'll be a nice game for folks on Switch.

And it will eventually be on sale on Switch as well. Just not at launch. It'll be after the game launches when it will be discounted. That's what happens all the time really.
$40 minimum at best for everything. This game maintains a high value.
Hahaha
Dude..
And Diablo 3 on Switch will remain at $60....forever.
So a game that's been available on a given platform for years now has been on sale before on that platform? Imagine that.
Nice get for Switch, and bonus for those of us who haven't played it before. I haven't played any of the games in the series, truth be told.
How does the game scale for weaker PC rigs? I'm curious what kind of IQ and frame rate we can expect, especially in portable mode.

I literally said to my gf last week how I'd love to see Diablo 3 on Switch. I can't wait to run through this game for the 10th time.
Porting half a decade old games doesn't suddenly mean they'll release their latest and greatest, especially on console that lacks the hardware to support said latest and greatest games.
I could be wrong.
Price gouging aside, mobile Diablo 3 is gonna be a treat. After hundreds of hours in this game and double-dipping for the PS4 version, I think it'll be a great fit.
Now the question is, do you need 2 joycons (1 set) per player for local coop, or will they find some way to make it playable on a single joycon without losing functionality? That would be amazing.

game is certified perfect for Switch™
full price is meh but it's gonna be hard to ignore a portable version of this

I never played it... So I wouldn't mind playing full price if the game is worth it.
I heard there was a launch fiasco with some auction system breaking the game to milk microtransactions or something, but that after it was fixed thing were a lot better.

If you don't mind paying £40 for a game other people paid £15 for years ago I don't know what to say. Good on the devs for taking advantage though.
Most (almost all?) other devs stop supporting their games far before Blizzard do theirs.
As someone who really only played the first release for around a week or two, I'm tempted to pick this up. It's weird to me how I keep rebuying older games for the Switch just for their portability. Just bought Okami HD for it last night even though I have it for the PS3 already.
Indeed.
I believe in what I posted however. In my opinion this is good news.
For the same thing that Warframe was not.
Not everything revolves around E3.
I actually assumed the outrage was based on the other versions' MSRP being $40 or lower, but that's not the case. The game is still $60. Retailers put the game on sale regularly, but if you want to buy this on PSN right now, for example, it's $60. So yeah, not seeing the issue at all, other than being annoyed Diablo 3 in general is still this expensive.
Not a Switch tax

You could make the case for Diablo 3 being too expensive in general, though.

In the Switches defense it wasn't out years ago so it kind of makes sense. :P
In the end of 2018? Not really.
Not everyone wants to pay overpriced switch taxes.
Its a 6 year old game and its last expansion was already over a year ago.
This sounds really good! This best thing about this: You can have a mini LAN Party setup with this as well, and even play Switch in docked moded hooked up to PC Monitors for example (or TV's). Pretty easy set up to get going.
BIG announcement (EDIT: "Leak" rather!)

Why would someone mind? Lol
Did you see the thread where ppl were buying ps4's and Xbox ones at target for $100. Do you mind buying one now at full price? But others got them for a fraction of the price! Lol c'mon
Steep price, great game though :D.
Lots of hours of enjoyment. Hopefully it runs well on Switch!

Yeah, it's just vanity stuff it seems, "the Legend of Ganondorf cosmetic armor set, Tri-Force portrait frame, Chicken pet, and Echoes of the Mask cosmetic wings." Not enough still imo.
