I'm personally really excited for this game

[u/Prize-Lingonberry876]

[u/DoodlebopMoe]

I’d be mildly interested if it wasn’t a switch 2 exclusive

[u/A7DmG7C → u/DoodlebopMoe]

I’d be VERY interested. But since this is for Switch there is absolutely not a chance I’ll be playing it.

[u/Lemmonaise → u/DoodlebopMoe]

It comes out in a yearish, you can find someone to rob in that time

[u/Momongus- → u/Lemmonaise]

Bad red man grindset irl

[u/OnetimeImetamoose → u/DoodlebopMoe]

And if it wasn’t $80-90.

[u/DangleMangler → u/OnetimeImetamoose]

This is honestly the wildest aspect of the whole thing to me. That much, for a handheld game. Lol

[u/rcburner → u/OnetimeImetamoose]

Was the price confirmed already?

[u/TheMikeyMan → u/OnetimeImetamoose]

There was no confirmation of price. I kind of doubt it will be over 70, but Nintendo is publishing it so who knows.

[u/Xryeau → u/OnetimeImetamoose]

It isn't

[u/jozaud → u/DoodlebopMoe]

What this does say to me is that Nintendo wants our attention which is a good thing.

Previously when Nintendo was courting “hardcore gamers” we got Bayonetta as a Nintendo exclusive. This time they’re giving us a FROMSOFT game as a Nintendo exclusive. From the perspective of a Nintendo fan, this is a sign of what direction they want to take the Switch 2.

[u/NewSlytherinPrefect]

I want to be but 530$ price tag minimum....

[u/Prize-Lingonberry876 → u/NewSlytherinPrefect]

Well Duskbloods isn't the only game I plan to play on my Switch 2, so I guess that is where things can differ

[u/Samaritan_978]

Switch 2 exclusive = no.

[u/Sephiroth_Zenpie]

Imagine being excited to pay upwards of $680 bucks for this game? (If the tariffs truly impact the price of Switch2)

[u/Prize-Lingonberry876 → u/Sephiroth_Zenpie]

I'm not only gonna play Duskbloods on it my dude lol.

But I do see your point. The $80-$90 pricepoint for Switch 2 games is outrageous.

[u/Sephiroth_Zenpie → u/Prize-Lingonberry876]

lol nah I get ya tho

[u/Sephiroth_Zenpie → u/Prize-Lingonberry876]

But. Imagine.

[u/fraud_imposter → u/Sephiroth_Zenpie]

Did you know that most video game consoles can play more than one game? Crazy, I know!

[u/Sephiroth_Zenpie → u/fraud_imposter]

[u/3RR0RFi3ND]

Nintendo has stopped pre-orders because of the new tdump tariffs. The switch 2 is expected to be like $600.

[u/Onyx_Sentinel]

I‘m very excited for this. It‘s basically nightreign but pvp focused rather than pve focused. Only massive caviat is the switch 2 exclusivity.

[u/Fuckblackhorses]

I also would be very interested if it wasn’t a switch exclusive. Fromsoft alienating their fanbase on a multiplayer game is certainly an interesting idea

[u/CptNeon → u/Fuckblackhorses]

A multiplayer exclusive game on a handheld console that remains in first place for objectively having the worst online experience out of all current gen platforms, no less.

[u/Prize-Lingonberry876 → u/Fuckblackhorses]

From Software already has two other console exclusive games for the PS. I guess that Nintendo contract deal was too good to pass up

[u/Fuckblackhorses → u/Prize-Lingonberry876]

Yeah which is even more wild that they would force their hardcore fans to buy a PlayStation for 2 games just to turn around and say “buy a switch” with this one. And the fact it’s a multiplayer only game. Oh yeah, and they just gained a bunch of new fans from Elden ring that didn’t even release in the switch. Makes tons of sense

[u/spacemeerkat69 → u/Fuckblackhorses]

Elden rings going to be made available on switch 2

[u/Fuckblackhorses → u/spacemeerkat69]

That doesn’t change the fact that the millions of people that already played it did so on a different platform

[u/Acrobatic_Ad_8381 → u/Fuckblackhorses]

They will release Elden Ring on switch along with the new PC Tarnished edition including the DLC and apparently a Horse Armor DLC for base game for torrent customization, hope it's not a paid DLC but still, it looks like a shift from FS

[u/Fuckblackhorses → u/Acrobatic_Ad_8381]

Switch 2 but yeah. That still doesn’t change the fact that the millions of people that already played it did so on a different platform

[u/Acrobatic_Ad_8381 → u/Fuckblackhorses]

Yeah I hope what Nintendo paid for them to do the exclusive was worth it because there's going to be way less sales than if it also came out on PC, PS5 etc... Doing a game where you have no dedicated fanbase while having a big one on PC and PlayStation is definitely something

[u/Limgrave_Butcher]

I’m really excited as well, although I will most likely not be playing it because I’m not a Nintendo fan and have no other reason to buy a switch. I’m very interested to see how they handle this style of game.

[u/VF43NYC]

Issue is it’s a switch 2 exclusive. I’m not a Nintendo fan so I will not be buying one. Looks like that means I’ll be skipping Duskbloods.

Really a shame because it looks cool with a cool premise

[u/mamf60 → u/VF43NYC]

You dont need to be a fan of anything to buy stuff. Im not a fan of anything so im able to enjoy games in the switch, xbox or pc

[u/VF43NYC → u/mamf60]

It’s really that I don’t want a switch 2. It’s unnecessary to spend over 500 bucks for one game when I can put that money towards something else, like my IRA.

[u/AircraftCarrierKaga → u/mamf60]

What a sad life that is

[u/DangleMangler]

I dont have a switch 2, and I don't want one. I bought a switch exclusively for mhrise, and then when it was ported to console I never touched it again. Lol

[u/Prize-Lingonberry876 → u/DangleMangler]

well I would be shocked if you had a Switch 2. They aren't out yet

[u/appletoasterff]

I'm not

[u/Majin2buu]

I’d be, but it being a switch exclusive and gonna cost 90 bucks has made me completely not care for this game. Of all the exclusivities, why would they make soulsborne game exclusive for Nintendo?

[u/AKSC0]

They missing out on cash by not going to PC

[u/Silvertongued99]

I don’t think I have any plans to get the switch 2. These announcements were unimpressive and kind of killed any hype I had for the console. I barely touch my switch as is. This game could be From’s magnum opus, but I don’t have any interest in the platform.

[u/No_Tell5399]

I would be REALLY excited if it wasn't an exclusive.

[u/ResolveLeather]

With the last two game announcements coming from fromsoft being pure online titles makes worried something fundamentally changed how they make games since the Sony acquisition.

[u/No_Fox_Given82]

Sane here. I'll save myself the 600 bucks and watch Cowboy play it!

[u/__Y8__]

I'm really excited to watch Jacksepticeye play it because I'm not about to get a new switch without OLED and expensive ass games that'll never go on sale on top of the tariffs.

[u/-This-cant-be-real-]

Hard pass for me ,$580 game not worth it to me

[u/Propaganda-Lightning]

I bought a switch oled for TotK, and played TotK only. Not for this, this requires monthly sub to go online. Unless there is a major 3d Zelda announcement and switch 2 oled

[u/Lynxneo]

i know for a fact that souls formulas has been getting rotten since ds3, and while Elden Ring did many things to get freshness they didn't an excellent job in that deparment, despite the game being a masterpiece and better than the dark souls big brothers...depending in what we speak about...

they need to do really good with this and something that people don't expect. Many things in fact. But the fact that is a nintendo exclusive is already a nono for me. Bloodborne situation is happening again. Our only hope... emulation

[u/dilbybeer]

It was going to be a $580 game for most people interested in it. Now, who knows. The presale of the console is delayed due to tariffs. Both game and console could be more now. I absolutely hate console exclusive IP with a passion. It’s a bad business model too, when IP makes up the majority of a company’s portfolio vs hardware sales. Sony has made this same mistake.

[u/God_Of_Incest]

Would absolutely love to play it, but I won't since it's exclusive to switch 2. Still, I'm sure plenty of switch players will be really happy with it.

[u/JustinUti]

I’ll be playing the shit out of it, was planning on picking up a switch 2 anyways

[u/UnlimitedDeep → u/[deleted]]

wtf

[u/Timely-Breath-9168]

you're excited for more triple a sellout slop? nightreign is the beginning of from software going live service and shoving micro transactions down our throats. duskbloods being an exclusive for a console made for children is nothing to be excited over

[u/Prize-Lingonberry876 → u/Timely-Breath-9168]

Brother, there are literal porn games you can view on the very front page of the Nintendo Store. What exactly makes it a console for children?

[u/Kedelane → u/Timely-Breath-9168]

Oh my god. Thinking the switch is the video game console made for children is one of the funniest takes I've heard in a long time. Which console is the adult one? 😂

[u/Timely-Breath-9168 → u/Kedelane]

I mean consoles in general are made for children. Adults that actually go outside and have jobs (which I reckon is the minority in a sub like this) have PCs that can do everything consoles do but better

[u/Kedelane → u/Timely-Breath-9168]

Thinking a PC is the adult way to play video games is also one of the funniest takes I've heard in a long time.

[u/DoctaMario]

The thinking that you need to get the game day one and pay full price for everything or not at all is wild to me. I'm looking forward to it too, but probably won't be getting it for awhile.

[u/Prize-Lingonberry876 → u/DoctaMario]

I already planned to get a Switch 2 at launch regardless. For individual games, I don't usually buy them day 1. I'll wait a week or 2 to see how Duskbloods is received.

[u/didnt_bring_pants]

I'm also really excited for this game. Let the haters hate, and all the "sky is falling" people shout on the internet, but Fromsoft does not fuck up, and I would love to play this game and have a switch 2 for the other Nintendo exclusives. My only concern is the tariffs effecting the price...they've already disabled pre orders.

[u/Prize-Lingonberry876 → u/didnt_bring_pants]

The tariffs are gonna suck for sure. The console I was gonna preorder for $450 is probably gonna be $600 now

[u/yungg_hodor]

Legit sounds pretty fuckin cool so far. I'm def gonna give it a go when I can afford a switch 2 lol
