With the upcoming Nintendo Switch and famous games like Zelda: Breasts of the Wild, how about making this game compatible for the Nintendo Switch? I understand it not working on the 3DS, but there is no excuse for Eve not to come out for the Switch.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

No excuse except for the cost of porting the code for very little (if any) return. You pay for it.

Nope. The Switch is basically a pocket calculator with a 720p screen attached to it. It will run pokemon, I suppose.

Nintendo games don't tend to have many bugs...maybe something could be learnt here?

Sounds like a hi-def TI-84 tbh.

Can it Crysis?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I have to admit, I do like Nintendo. I grew up with an Atari 2600 on a B&W TV. Nintendo, in the early '80s?

Yup. Awesome. These days I like playing the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series, but Mario Kart, Zelda, etc? Yup, that, too.

I liked them. In all honesty, I'm about sick and tired of online **** in certain genres. Elder Scrolls Online, well, people run by and tell me the solution to puzzles, very annoying. Not like it was when it was a single player game, at all.

Some things, No. I just don't want you asshats along for the ride. If the Nintendo Switch has even half the promise it's claiming, I'll be gone, online, for a good long while.

Probably not.

It possibly could Eve*, but you'd have to pay 40 bucks a year to get it to go online.

* edit: although barely, considering it has a 4MHz 8080 in it.

Nintendo 3rd party support, the networking capabilities of the switch, and dumbing eve down to a mobile device are phenomenal reasons not to bring it to the switch.

That would be so insanely dumb on so many levels I'm not going to put forth the effort to list them all.
