Overwatch Legendary Edition - Nintendo Switch

First time playing it on the switch and it runs so great. This game is a lot of fun. I think Nintendo did a great job bringing this to switch.

The game arrived 1 day later, I used my points/rewards and paid almost nothing for it. The best part, my 12 year old is still thanking me after getting it for Christmas!!! We scored this year, thank you for your great customer service.

FYI - There is no cartridge with this, even though it is a physical copy. It comes with the download code, 3 months of Nintendo Online, and a DLC Skin Pack. It's an online only game anyway so the lack of a cartridge is not a big deal. The graphics are great on handheld mode and the movements are smooth. Online play is great.

The biggest thing to get used to while playing the Nintendo Switch version of Overwatch is it's 30fps gameplay. Having played it at 144fps on my PC since it released in 2015 it felt pretty jarring playing it at 30fps. That being said in portable mode with motion controls on the actual feeling of the game is quite smooth. The visuals hold up fantastic due to the art style the downscales are hardly that noticeable. Overall if you're looking for a great mp shooter on the go Overwatch is the best currently on the Switch.

I would have to imagine most people would know Overwatch by now but in case you don't, it's a highly polished hero focused multiplayer game that's extremely similar to Team Fortress 2. Each hero is unique with their own qualities that usually has them fall under a class type, teamwork will get you far while lone wolves only work for the most skilled players. There is a ton of content here but there is the addition of lootboxes for cosmetics. You'll occasionally get them for free here or there during seasonal events but they don't come cheap if you decide to shell out some money. Make sure to create a blizzard\battle.net account so you can sync your progress across any version of the game. As for the Switch version, it runs well with some minor dips in visuals to maintain a high frame-rate. However there is a good reason it comes 3 months of free Nintendo online as the game is useless without online access. I perk here is that the 3 months will stack with an already active membership. Overwatch is a fun game and this is a unique version to play especially in portable mode, but with the abundance of wireless players with more frequent disconnects, I would suggest to buy this at a sale price.

I bought this game because the black friday sale was at $15. I play Overwatch on PC and use to play it on Xbox before i had built my PC last year. This game on the switch is actually pretty good and i have the Switch Lite. For this game, i would have rather play it on the regular switch since its slightly a bigger display compared to the Switch Lite. The game has not had any issues on my Switch Lite.

As a long time console Overwatch fan... the switch port is a great addition. It won’t replace playing comp on console but having the portability to play some practice Overwatch while laying in bed is awesome!! I’m impressed at how decent it runs and the graphics are about the same as running it on lowest settings of a PC. It’s good enough to enjoy if you’re already a fan of Overwatch.

This was a great buy! The graphics are so amazing on the switch! I couldn’t tell the difference between my PS counsel. I can not stop playing this game, this is how much fun you will have. I have waited a long time for this to arrive to Nintendo, and it has finally arrived with no disappointment. It’s a must have!!!
