Saints Row: The Third coming to Nintendo Switch

[Krvavi Abadas]

Just announced at the Gamescom opening ceremony. It's being ported by "Deep Silver FISHLABS".

Kind of an odd choice, but it's still pretty good.

Edit: Here's the press release, buried under the rest of THQ Nordic's gamescom announcements.

Saints Row the Third – Ported by the internal developer Deep Silver Fish Labs it will be coming to Nintendo Switch.

[Toumari]

Been waiting 7 years for this!

 

[Kouriozan]

Of course it's the only one I played haha.

 

[KZXcellent]

Isn't there a fourth game? I mean cool, just seems like an odd pull.

 

[sredgrin]

Surprised it isn't like a 3 and 4 combo or something.

 

[Lite_Agent]

I bet Jim Sterling is gonna love that one.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I haven't played Saints Row 3. I stopped at 2 lol.

 

[kami_sama]

Unexpected as fuck, but glad it is the best one from all the "modern" SR.

If it's 20€ or less, i'm tripple dipping (100%ed on PS3 and Steam already), not for more than that though. It's my favourite GTA-like game.

 

[Deleted member 3017]

What a weird announcement.

Really fun game though.

3 was a lot better than 4.

 

[Aostia82]

Is thia the 3ds game announced and never released

 

[Mario_Bones]

This is so weird and out of nowhere but I'd be up for playing this again

 

[Vareon]

I enjoyed SR3 the most. SR4 went too far into the weird direction and SR2, while IMO is the better package overall, feel very dated now. It's a good choice for a Switch port.

 

[Principate]

The Switch finally got it's hero.

 

[ProstatePuncher]

Would have preferred the 2nd game, to be honest. PC version is barely functional, and I know that its back compatible on Xbox One, but it'd be great portable.

 

[FiXalaS]

As random as Mass Effect 3

 

[Acquiescence]

2011 is the year of the Switch.

 

[Freddo]

My favourite Saints Row, wish it was coming to PS4 too.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I mean whatever.

 

[Deleted member 36622]

Why not Saints 4?

 

[Kapryov]

that's.... an odd choice.....
but sure, whatever, hope it sells a lot!

 

[Paradax]

I loved the game. Can't wait to play it on the go!

 

[Extremely Solid]

Weird.

 

[Phil32]

Not a bad game at all, but I would have preferred Saints Row 2. ha

Still, here's hoping it runs well!

 

[cw_sasuke]

Switch living out the 3DS dreams.

 

[hjort]

Weird. Guess I'll keep an eye on it.

What's the deal with Deep Silver and all the fish themed studios though?

 

[Jahranimo]

I wanted to play this, but wasn't able to back then because I was a broke college student lol.

I'm...curious in getting this? Maybe if the price is right.

 

[Mory Dunz]

why tho

 

[daninthemix]

Been waiting 7 years for this!

Me too. I've literally been sat at my computer, hitting refresh for 7 years, waiting for this news.

 

[Rmagnus]

Hmm odd choice might get it since I have not played it before but surely it will not be 60 bucks right

 

[9-Volt]

Zinyak ruined Biz Markie.

Seriously this game is super fun. Definitely recommended. A little advice: choose the British accent for the mc, game becomes twice hilarious.

 

[Brandon]

Was it only announced for Switch? It isn't on the other current gen platforms.

 

[ValtermcPires]

dindt expect this...

might buy it if i find bellow 20€

 

[Protome]

Outta nowhere.
I'll rebuy the best Saints Row again.

 

[KosmonavtTomas]

3 was a lot better than 4.

Click to shrink...

Lets agree to disagree. Four is way more fun than The Third. I think they will port SR4 too but at a later date.

 

[Certinfy]

From what I remember the game was better than 4, but still, how weird.

 

[Papertoonz]

weird port choice

SR3 is kinda stuck inbtween tones which kinda hurts it in the long run, kinda wish they would have ported SR4 instead but whatever

 

[enkaisu]

lol what an odd announcement.

 

[mindsale]

Should really be a double-pack. It's the better part of a decade old.

 

[Herb Alpert]

Huh
I mean...
Huh

 

[Oregano]

Fishlabs are the Manticore guys?

 

[lost7]

I'm assuming the 4th will be on the way soon after, otherwise it's a bit of a strange choice

 

[Yukinari]

Not Saints Row 2, the best one?

 

[Rouk']

Are we really expecting it to not be full price ? I mean Skyrim was also a 2011 game and was full price

 

[Dark Cloud]

Click to shrink...

I'm expecting it to be full price.

 

[Marmoka]

I remember buying it at Steam to play it in my crappy laptop, but that crappy laptop wasn't powerful enough.

If the port is not very expensive, I might buy it again. Despite of how unplayable it was in my case, the game was pretty cool.

 

[Deleted member 9971]

If it's 20 bucks sure, 60 tho? Hell no.
