Dark Souls Trilogy under consideration for Switch

From Software is reportedly thinking about releasing the Dark Souls trilogy, and a complete version of Dark Sould 3, for Nintendo Switch

I don't know how I feel about that.
On the one hand, it's more support.
Late support, but support nonetheless.

On the other, though, I've heard a lot about how brutal these games are, and I'm not sure how much I'd like them...

The collection better not be super expensive, or that could be a turn-off.

They're brutal the first time you ever play one of them. Once you get over the learning curve, then you're left with one of the most intense, rewarding game experiences around. The difficulty stops being intimidating and just becomes fun eventually.

I just can't because if I die I have to do all the killing all over again.
It's too repetitive and frustrating. I'm more a Dragons Dogma RPG person.

@Nu

You don't have to do ALL the killing again, you do eventually start opening up shortcuts and other fires to sporn at.
It just encourages you to want to get good.

Look man, take this advice. If you do, I promise, you will not regret it and you will thank me for it.

Buy the collection and get this thought in your head. "I will finish this game no matter what. Others have done it and I can do it too. I've been playing games for years. I can do this" - if you have this thought when you honestly feel like the game is just too hard and it's not for you... then you will find a way and it will become one of the greatesst games you've ever played in your life.

I went through this exact process when Demon's Souls firsts came out on PS3. I swear I played for a long time and felt like I was getting nowhere. I thought, 'bloody hell, this is just too hard'. I stopped playing and was angry. But the next day I had that first thought that I mentioned earlier, "I will finish this no matter what. I can do it". Then I realised, that Demon's Souls was the greatest game I've ever played in my life. That experience in that game I've never even come close to having. This is what the Souls series can do for you... if you persevere and let it happen. The choice is yours..

Sorry bout the crap I just posted lol, but I'm telling you, it really is one of the greatest series ever invented for consoles. Demon's Souls, the Dark Souls series and Bloodeborne.

dude your comment sounds like the steps to beating depression XD

[DashArrivals]

bahaha lol it does hey :D

[Summons75]

They're challenging but not overly difficult. They'd be awesome on the Switch. Much like Elder Scrolls I would gladly welcome Dark Souls and Demon's Souls (though this won't happen) on the Switch.

You need to be patient specially for Dark Souls 1
most people won't think it's a good game until they reach half way through it because the combat is like nothing they tried before and it feel clunky if didn't used to it because the animations are outdated even for 2011
Dark Souls 2 doesn't feel as clunky and Dark Souls 3 have very smooth animations

the game is difficult compare to other games these days but if you played NES, SNES games you'll know From Software bring the old school experience to the new era

[Movefasta1993]

Half way?i knew that game was special the moment I reached the forest

[Vegamyster]

It really isn't that hard, you just have to realize that you can't play it like a hack and slash game. Nearly every enemy has a wind up to their attacks which is what i see people struggling with the most when they start off, they're so eager to spam dodge/roll before the enemy initiates into a attack which leaves them vulnerable.

[TheFirstClassic]

The difficulty of these hames is exaggerated way too much. They are challenging and there is no hand holding, but I have had no trouble beating all five games.

[EddieNX]

OH GOOD LORD YES! That would be simply amazing news for Switch!!! I've just started a new char today on DS3 but I'll be happy to play it all again on the go

[kindkinesis]

this would be awesome

[Malice-Flare]

i hope the hardware is powerful enough, but the appeal of Dark Souls is that slowdown in Blighttown...

[diepdiep]

And those mosquitos, too :)

[Movefasta1993]

It really isn't

[I3loggs24]

Imagine being able to coop or invade anyone also playing in your area while out playing this lol.
I was already convinced about buying the Switch, this just makes the purchase even easier.

[SilverClock]

Would have preferred a new game or at least something I haven't already beaten, but it's a nice gesture. May help pave the way for future third party games.

[Chaos_Raiden]

Why not on other consoles as well like the PS4? Dark Souls Remastered on PS4 would be so awesome.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Ask yourself this; between the PS4 and the Switch, which one is going to be in more need of big name third party titles around March of next year?

[BlaqMagiq1]

Does it matter? Both consoles can have this. It's more money period. The Switch will sell on first-party exclusives alone.

[Movefasta1993]

i would love a dark souls 1 remaster on ps4 :( It's the best souls game imo,but the frame rate sucks on ps3/60.

[KTF26]

if they bring it to Switch there will be a high chance for PS4 and Xbox One

but still it's not confirmed even for Switch

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Interesting :3

[caelumsixsmith]

Well, that's interesting. I know Nintendo is not new to accepting third party titles in their consoles but isn't Dark Souls TOO gory and possibly even sexual? And by sexual I mean Quelaag.

[diepdiep]

Amazing chest ahead.

[caelumsixsmith]

Oh yeah, I completely forgot of Gwynerear... I mean, Gwynevere.

[Movefasta1993]

I would buy a switch for this.But i hope dark souls 1 gets the most work put into the frame rate and the online.

[quent]

I think a lot of people would buy the switch day 1 if they announced a improved/remastred version of Das1, I know I would.
