System Shock remake comes to the Nintendo Switch next week
Nintendo Switch owners will finally get their hands on the System Shock remake.
The title will launch on the Nintendo Switch on December 18. The Nintendo port will feature “Joy-Con 2 mouse support, gyro aiming, various community-requested enhancements, and up to 1440p at 60fps when docked and 1080p at 60fps when handheld on the Switch 2.” A new Dev Diary trailer can be seen here.
Justin Khan, producer at Nightdive Studios said this about the forthcoming port:
“With how the Switch port of System Shock is shaping up — running very smoothly and looking quite good, it could be considered an ‘Impossible Port,’ in the same way that Doom 2016, Wolfenstein, and Witcher 3 are considered Impossible Ports on the Switch 1. We think fans will be very pleased with the performance and platform-specific functionality we’ve delivered with these System Shock ports for Nintendo’s consoles.”
Justin Khan, producer at Nightdive Studios also said:
“Nightdive’s goal was to deliver a System Shock port that sits alongside technical feats like DOOM 2016 and The Witcher 3 on the Nintendo Switch. To achieve that, we retained deferred rendering to keep our dynamic lighting intact, which is a massive challenge on this hardware. We are incredibly proud of the result, and hope the fans feel we’ve earned a spot among those ‘Impossible Ports.’”
The System Shock remake can be wishlisted on the Nintendo Switch right now here. The remake is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One right now.
