The Dark Knight is coming to Nintendo’s hybrid console, but you will have to be wary of in-game performance.
Great news for Switch players: one of the greatest video game trilogies to date is coming to the small console. The series of batman arkham is finally brought to Nintendo’s hybrid. The unexpected news fell during the Nintendo Direct just released by the Kyoto firm. This compilation will include Batman Arkham Asylum, Arkham City And Arkham Knight as well as all DLC released for these titles. For the time being, the release date has not yet been confirmed but a window for next fall has already been set.
Little by little, the blockbusters of past years are giving themselves a second life on this platform. The Witcher 3the trilogy Crysis or Dark Souls have already been there. Until then, the Switch has been able to demonstrate surprising technical prowess to run some of the most demanding titles such as No Man’s Sky or Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. However, these ports unfortunately do not offer optimal playing comfort.
Between resolution (very) at a discount and slowdowns, these concerns are inevitable in the face of the power of the console. While the effort to include players without access to other platforms can only be commended, those with a more powerful machine should refrain. But what about the trilogy batman arkham release between two generations of consoles?
Experts at the controls
The Turn Me Up Games teams will take care of bringing the trilogy to life batman arkham on Switch. These developers are not at their first prowess on the Nintendo console. Indeed, it is to them that the players owe the ports of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 and more recently from It Takes Two. These two titles published for the current generation and the previous one (PS4, Xbox One etc) are doing well in portable version.
There is therefore something to be reassured about the future of the Dark Knight on Switch. Also, the first episode Arkham Asylum is an even earlier generation title, originally released on PS3 and Xbox 360. This one should run flawlessly, while Arkham City And Arkham Knight will probably have a harder time maintaining resolution and frame rate. Still, that shouldn’t make the grind unplayable.
Despite its simplistic looks, It Takes Two and its permanent split screen require a lot of power and the Switch has no trouble keeping up. It remains to be seen if on the side of Batman, the frenzied clashes and wanderings in the city of Arkham will be as satisfying as on the original platforms. In any case, this therefore means that we will be able to play these video game nuggets on the throne, and this is already a great victory.
