(Rumor) Fortnite is Coming to Switch with Exclusive Content

It is. Maybe the kids who do more mobile gaming are fine with it though, but I don't enjoy it. In any case, playing with regular controls is far superior and I'm sure a fair amount of people interested in Fortnite away from the TV/PC would pick up a Switches for it (along with exclusives etc.). It's definitely a game that could get some fence sitters who won't buy just for/mostly for Nintendo games to jump in if they get a good port out while the game is still the current hotness.
I had a feeling this was being saved for E3.
Honestly, with how successful the switch is, its surprising that its taken them this long to get it on the system. The switch has a serious lack of F2P games and Fortnite coming first would be a monster success. The fact that they might implement Nintendo related cosmetics is only going to sweeten the pot.

Haven't played the game in like 2 years (since my PC is broken), so I'd be really happy to get to play it again (especially since I haven't tried the necromancer yet). Also, there are many people that don't play on PC, so it would be a new games for many of them.
I'd imagine Nintendo is pushing for an "impact" announcement. Fortnite is the biggest thing in the gaming world right now. If they announce it, say, as a core title alongside their online service during E3 that has a tremendous impact. Nintendo wants to win E3. The more impactful announcements they have, the better.
Ramirez for Smash pls
A Fortnite stage would be really awesome; the Save the World exclusive stuff is really fascinating. The game's story is a lot of fun so I'm hoping there's something equally zany they'd be cooking up for story related things.
And since an amiibo could save your information...that'd be very useful for BR I think too. Bring your saved, customized character to a friend's device or bring it with you for a tournament.

More like Cross Play with Xbox, PC, Mobile. No way sony lets nintendo in if they won't let MS
Because the big selling point of a Switch version is that you can play it anywhere. But you can already do that on mobile.
You could add COD (rumored), Animal Crossing (rumored) and PUBG (hinted) to that list. I also think the physical release of Minecraft Bedrock will be pretty huge on Switch. The sports trio (FIFA/NBA2K/WWE2K) will probably return and then there's a bunch of smaller known stuff (Fire Emblem, Crash, Yoshi, Octopath, VC4, MM11, etc, etc) with probably a lot more on that level coming. And the constant indie and retro deluge.
People are excited about them on a handheld. We saw the same thing with Skyrim SE, LA Noire and DOOM, this has sort of always been a thing with legacy catalogues being spruced up for portable devices. GB, GBA and PSP especially thrived off old ports.
Not system level, no. But there are games with in-game team chat.
...but the PS4 and XB1 versions don't get that benefit, yet they're still seeing huge hardware sales due to this game. Why wouldn't the Switch also get huge hardware sales then? Even if you completely ignore portability.
Oh, yeah, I can see them doing an exclusive physical official release of Save the World/Battle Royale bundle for the Switch, complete with exclusive Nintendo themed gear for both modes.
It's out on mobile why the hell wouldn't be on switch. Is this really news? I would put it in the no shit is is coming to switch column.
There is in-game voice chat through the system on Splatoon, and I think some third party games. But no system level chat or party system, yeah.
Not until September.
Yes, that's how party chat will work for every game once the service launches.
Wait, does the Switch have a microphone or mic port? How do some 3rd party games implement voice chat on Switch?
Is that system level? I assumed it was just a Splatoon 2 feature?
Playing local matches has voice chat support but the main multiplayer does not.
There's still some hope that they learned their lesson with Splatoon.
Source for GTA V?
because I keep seeing it, but I think it is fan fiction.
Splatoon has voice chat through the system in LAN mode. It doesn't have that option for online mode, which is very stupid, but it at least shows that there's nothing inherent about the Switch that prevents voice chat in-game if a developer wants to put it in.
It's not OS level (as far as I know) I just meant it was through the system rather than through a phone.
Headset/headphones with mic. Any game can add their own chat if they want to build it in.
That's pretty cool, I actually didn't knew that it had a mic port.

I'm pretty sure others have hinted at it too.
Hopefully that's been reevaluated after the negative response to Splatoon 2's usage.
Negative response already changed Nintendo's plans on their Classics, they went from a single rotating monthly game to multiple permanent additions.
having Nintendo content only for Save the World seems a bit silly. Wouldn't a Nintendo skin for BR be a pretty smart move?
Figured it was coming once they got mobile ports working. What will be interesting is the cross play options. The population they'd have across every platform aside from PS4 would be massive. If Sony caves, this game could end up being one of those games they goes for over a decade. The kind of games normally reserved for PC.
It's pretty good, have a few friends who play it all the time now. When I play though I just see how terrible I am when I see people building forts while jumping and dodging bullets.
Some games will probably be announced alongside their online service to entice people to subscribe. Fortnite could be a good fit.
This is a no brainer, considering how well Switch does UE4. Nintendo could pimp this all day and open up a brand new market segment of gamers to buy the Switch. It's a win-win all around.
This is Nintendo, so you need to trim your expectations. That list should look like this:
- Smash with no new characters other than Inklings and some omissions (Cloud and Ryu)
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon gen 7
- Bravely default port
- Mario Golf
- Mario Party 11 (with a car, you're not getting rid of it!)
I wonder if GTA Online will be included because then I can GTA V being another game they will reveal to promote the new Online system in September.
