Warframe has officially made the jump to portable gaming thanks to today's release for Nintendo Switch. To celebrate the big day, Digital Extremes has a package of goodies worthy of the holiday season. Players who download Warfram and install the Comms Segment of Vor's Prize tutorial quest can bring home a 3-day Affinity Booster, Orokin Catalyst, Orokin Reactor, Forma and 50k Credits.

    I'll probably give it a shot, watching gameplay it seems like Panic Button did a great job at porting it to the hardware. Although when a lot is happening you can tell the resolution gets lowered and the graphics get a bit muddy looking. I wouldn't mind being able to play Warframe on a handheld device though, especially if I can port my PC account over.

    I'd be more interested if it could link to my pc account instead of a one-time-clone of it. Don't really need two separate warframe accounts.

    You can migrate your account but the progression on each hardware remains separate. You PC warframes won't show up on the Switch

    That's not true. You get all current progress at the time of the migration. But you are right that the progression remains separate after that point. Anything that isn't currently in the game gets migrated over at a later point at least whatever you had when you migrated the account.

    It plays pretty good, resolution can take a hit though. Still, its Warframe on Switch and it runs pretty awesome while looking the part.

    The question is to start over fresh or clone my PC account???

    You can port your PC account and most everything on it. The only things you won't have access to is stuff that you unlock on PC when it is ahead on content, like now with all the Fortuna stuff. It will all be there in your inventory on your Switch but you can't access it until the update has been made for Switch. For example, on PC you can have the new Warframe Garuda and the new weapons but you can't use them until the Fortuna update goes live for Switch. PC is always ahead of consoles for content updates. No idea if you can do the same for PS3/XBone.

    I do not grasp why anyone buys the Switch.  Ours sits in the closet.  I regret wasting money on it.

    A lot of people enjoy their Switch. It's my most used console. I was actually considering buying a second Switch so my SO could have one as well. Gotta get the games for it that make you want to play it. If there are none, then yeah you wasted your money.

    I just don't feel like Warframe platforming is manageable on a controller. I don't know how anyone does it.

    It's really hard in the beginning, but if you mess with settings like turning auto run on all the time, over time it will get a hell of a lot easier.

    The garbage is the best place for it, kids have zero interest in it at all.

    Any recommendations for the controller-challenged? :)

    You mean like game recommendations ?  RPG's tend to be relatively less controller intensive so Octopath Traveler and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (if you can get past the cringy cutscenes and  objectifying outfits). I've been playing Splatoon 2 in almost all my free time as of recent but it isn't all that easy to use a controller with. 

    Or are you referring to controls in Warframe, because I haven't had a chance to test out the Switch version yet, it was downloading last night. But I want to see how gyro aiming works.

    Depends on what you want.

    Super Mario Odyssey is a wonderful, forgiving 3d platformer that is pure fun.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the best survival game ever made, for a single player at least.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2 can easily give you over 100 hours of enjoyment, if you're into slow JRPG's. 

    Octopath Traveler is a solid traditional JRPG.

    The upcoming Fire Emblem Three Houses is a turn-based strategy and will thus hold up well to a controller.

    Mario + Rabbids is a delightful turn-based strategy that plays like a simplified, more aggressive XCOM.

    If you like Warriors games like I do, Fire Emblem Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition are two of the best examples of the genre, and their easy combat holds up well to a controller.

    Diablo 3 is awesome on the Switch.

    I tried playing it today and couldn't make it work with a controller. It's not the game's fault, it's mine. I suck playing anything that requires aiming using a controller.

    I hear you. I'm definitely better shooting with a K&M. But I'm getting used to it. The platforming in the game is way easier than on PC imo.

    That's the opposite of my experience. I was something resembling moderately okay at shooting with a controller, but performing the quick, demanding, and precise platforming of Warframe feels dreadful on a controller for me.

    I believe its in the closet because his kids broke it. But instead of getting mad at them for not being carefull enough he got mad at the Switch for being too delicate. My kids break stuff all the time, I rarely blame the stuff though....
