Diablo 3 News - Blizzard loves to tease out information to eager fans. The latest example is the company's Twitter post that shows a nightlight made in the shape of Diablo's head that is being "SWITCHED" on and off. This leads fans to believe that Diablo 3 is being prepped for release on Nintendo Switch.

    Anything would be great, new game or classes maybe a way to buy more stash space, would pay, 5$ a tab, so sucks not having room anymore.

    It seems that Nintendo Switch is fast becoming the device for re-releases of games that the majority have already grown tired of.

    I mean I loved Skyrim and D3.... but I'm done with them now.

    Agree. I don't see any re-playability any of these games. Skyrim, doom, xenoverse you name it.
    Switch needs new games, not recycled games...

    I think both new and recycled would work, I love having these older games on the go. Switch has plenty of new games too, its library expands rapidly.

    Oh no, something about Diablo! Time for the rabid, foaming PoE and Diablo 3 haters to come out of the woodwork to complain.

    I'd buy it for $20-$30 to play Diablo 3 on the go. Diablo 3 isn't worth more than that with its limited content and lack of new content.

    You have to admit though... it does show a stark contrast in direction over the past few years.

    Path of Exile - "Here's a bunch of new stuff. Knock yourself out."

    Diablo - "Meh. You can replay our game again if you want. We're too busy with our piles of Overwatch money to care either way."

    And it's a pity, because mechanically speaking, I think Diablo 3 is a far better game, but I want new things to do in it.

    I agree with that for the most part, but I don't spend my time in the good news threads about the game comparing it to another completely different game.

    Everyone likes what they like and shitting in every thread about a game I personally don't care for is not how I choose to spend my days. I've said it before, but I don't get that mindset. *shrugs*

    Oh well. I'm still choosing to believe that D4 or World of Diablo is going to be announced this year given all the hires they've made specifically for the Diablo team in the last couple years.

    I certainly hope so. I want to see more competition in the genre.

    Your willingness to pay for something that should be free is what gives greedy developers the power to abuse gamers.

    Blizzard must been working on this for abit they would had to redo the engine to work with Vulkan to get more out of it for the Nintendo Switch.  If its is true. Then won't be to far be support on the mobile phone at some point.

    The Switch has some of the best new games released for a new console in years in the first year. It also continues to get new games. Re-releasing games for an audience that did not previously have access to them is not a bad thing necessarily, especially for a device that can also be mobile. That is the appeal of the Switch. This game is not for you or me. This re-release is for people who either want a mobile Diablo 3 or have never played it because they focus exclusively on Nintendo consoles. 

    I don't understand the hate for rereleasing old games on a new platform at all. If you don't want it, don't buy it. They are not hurting you by rereleasing them. They are not wasting much development resources on it, if any, that would otherwise be working on a new title. It is okay for other people to enjoy a thing you once enjoyed, promise.

    It's also for people who have it at home and want to take it on trips or travelling. That's true for any of the remasters they're selling on the platform.
    Oh yes absolutely.

    If this is the new Diablo project they were hiring people for recently, I'm extremely disappointed.
  • Kraken78Kraken78 Member CommonPosts: 1
    If Diablo 3 is released for the Switch I will buy it. I love arpgs and grew up on hack-n-slash games. I also hope this might pave the way for Diablo 2 to be released for switch as well, that would be nice and we all can dream.

    This has already been confirmed to be nothing more than a cool night light. They are not working on a switch version.
