Bethesda has treated the Nintendo Switch very well so far, with high profile ports ofSkyrimandDOOMbringing in plenty of mature action to Nintendo’s portable console. The company revealed via Twitter today that this trend is continuing in good health, asWolfenstein 2: The New Colossusis officially being ported over to the Nintendo Switch in partnership with Panic Button. The studio has already aided developers by porting over bothDOOMandRocket League, making Panic Button a suitable studio for portingWolfenstein 2.
While Bethesda had previously confirmed thatWolfenstein 2would eventuallymake its way over to the Nintendo Switch, the company had provided no details on who would be porting over the game or when the title would arrive. The latter is still up in the air for now, although the official Bethesda announcement tweet did promise that more Switch-relatedWolfenstein 2news would be coming soon.
Gamers can take a look at the tweet itself below:
Nintendo has already stated that the company is open tomore mature gamesappearing on the Nintendo Switch, and titles likeThe Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth Plushave already found a successful home on the portable unit. With other titles likeDark Soulson the way, it’s clear that Nintendo has put in ample effort to capture a demographic that its previous consoles tended to miss - though only time will tell if the future mature releases will all be ports, too. For now,Wolfenstein 2slots into Nintendo’s ever-expanding mature games category quite nicely.
TheNazi-punching shooterstirred up plenty of controversy as it neared its late 2017 release date, especially when it satirized media coverage of alt-right media personality Richard Spencer and simultaneously made fun of Trump’s campaign slogan. Despite its political tones and the fact that the plot of the game picks up after the events of the first title, it’s not necessary for gamers to have played through the first game to understand the second. When in doubt, the general theme is that Nazis are bad. It’s not a hard concept to follow - and it’s one should lead gamers to athirdWolfensteingame.
