It looks like the next game getting the cloud treatment for the Nintendo Switch in Japan is Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The news was announced during the Japanese Nintendo Direct presentation which took place this evening. Like Resident Evil 7 cloud version it doesn’t seem to be coming to the west at present.

Lol poor Switch
This is just an insult.
what’s a cloud version
You don’t have the game installed on your system, instead your inputs get sent to the servers and they stream you the video and audio in real time. You rent the game for about 2000 yen and play it for few months on their server through Switch and very stable internet connection.
Basically means only accessible via beanstalk vine.
Nintendo must just give up and stick to making toys
bait
Damn I really want this game.. but I really doubt they’ll do the cloud game with the West also..
And you need a pretty stable connection
What if… bear with me… what if, you guys buy it on a PS4 or an Xbox One? Or better yet, on a PC?…. 🤔
Ok no…
But in all seriousness, what if what they didn’t showed us during the Direct, was the cloud gaming? Idk about you guys, but i don’t think they want to piss us off…
I played RE7 in Okinawa this summer. The animation itself ran fine, mostly, but sound and sync was terrible.
Lame. Bring out a more powerful Switch that can run games like this properly. If Cloud gaming comes to the West, I for one won’t be supporting it.
How exactly do you think a more powerful Switch is going to work? Don’t forget that it’s designed to be portable.
Simple. Scrap portability. There are some of us that don’t give a damn for that “feature”. It’s a lead weight around its neck that’s holding it back in so many ways.
Ah… scrap portability?… SOME OF US? Well… you seem to be the absolute minority… aaaand the Switch is selling like hot cakes, so there doesn’t seem to be that many “SOME OF US” around… at least not enough to warrant a total change in design of an excellent gaming console.
So basically, you want a traditional console that’s up to par in terms of power.
Nothing wrong with that. But, to get what you’re asking for, they’d need to make an entirely different console.
I mean, I wish the Switch was more powerful. But, I get why it is the way that it is.
Nintendo would usually sacrifice power for some stupid reason like a controller gimmick and go “fun is all that matters, blah, blah”. With the Switch being able to play any game anywhere and the Tegra X1 actually being plenty powerful for a mobile device, the trade-off was worth it, imo.
Though, I’d have been fine with your idea though. I always wanted a traditional Nintendo console up to par in terms of power and a proper online infrastructure.
Would you like to pay over £1000 with 10 minutes battery life for that? 🤣
You mean, docked? Because then it would be fine, no batterly life needed
I already have this preordered for the PS4. It’s gonna be a great October. Followed by a great November. Then possibly a great December.
They must have thought, “how can we make our games worse? I know, lets stream them and add connection issues to numerous other issues we never iron out.”
I’ll add. Japan has the network infrastructure to do this. Very few places in North America are well optimized to do this
