New data in an update has "Nintendo Switch configurations" for the moba leaning Overwatch clone. Good news for people who like paladins and want it on the go of course, but for the rest of its time for our next "How is Blizzard going to try and kneecap competition this time?" once again!
Its no secret Blizzard always does something to try and kill launch day numbers on competition. A patch, a trailer, a free login or double xp campaign. Its their corporate sabotage bread and butter. In this case Paladins is still a steadily competitor to Overwatch thats free to play but also sold a £10 founders pack to unlock everything forever. Its Overwatch for poorfags and shittier waifus basically.
BUT the Switch, even though it gets some anons in denial VERY upset about the fact is doing gangbusters and its the one hardware Blizzard has no foothold in yet and they really REALLY don't like competition beating them to the bunch.
If the Switch starts to go full 3DS and leave the PS4 and naturally the dumpster fire of the Xbone in the dust and the consumer already have a free overwatch then thats something Blizzard cannot let happen.
Overwatch already has shit waifus, how can they be worse?
Cooper Evans
I completely forgot about that. Games like Lawbreakers were notable for being huge failures, while Paladins just wallowed in mediocrity.

Speaking of the switch, is it the next destination for adventure/puzzle games like ace attorney/layton/999 series? Seeing as the 3ds is on its way out where else would they go? I realize they'll do the occasional pc port, but they'll still focus on a console, right?
Jonathan Allen
i guess theres a market for rock sluts.
Ian Walker
all 3ds and vita shit is going switch and ps4.
Mason Stewart
How long till League of Legends? This makes me not want to get a switch if this is the level of quality control they have.
Jacob Thomas
Man, I wonder how it feels to be the guy who models the least important part of the character. Like, did they really need another guy for modeling five rocks?
Liam Lopez
How does that work? The Switch doesn't have GSM/CDMA radios. You can "go" about 35 feet before WiFi drops.
Tyler James
I don't think LoL, DOTA or HotS speaking of Blizzardare the types of games that can easily be ported to consoles, without changing the game entirely.
Joshua Miller
When you said rock sluts, I was expected something a little more chiseled
Angel Carter
I think Nintendo has stipulated ports need a local wifi version in all online multiplayer games. Even splatoon has one thats kind of shit.
Jaxson Brooks
Oh, and by the way OP they're doing this to try and break into the Chink market. Switch is apparently doing insanely well over there to the point it might actually end up being the biggest gaming platform. Of course, China could always pull a fast one and make their own knockoff right before banning all Nintendo products just to fuck them over. It wouldn't be the first, second or even fifth time that has happened
Easton Foster
In b4 paladin threads become common. Why would anyone be excited about this news? It would be like saying Oblivion is coming to the switch.
Bentley Harris
Oblivion would at least allow your Switch to double as light, if inefficient, flood light.
Austin Brown
Nigger we used to have paladins generals when we also had overwatch generals. They both fucked off around the same time funnily enough.
William Martin
I'd fuck a female golem but not a bitch who looks that ugly.
Adrian Baker
I remember that, but what happened to them, did they make their own boards?
Dominic Rogers
I just want to live inawoods and start a wholesome family with her
Hunter Wood
Like I said, they died when the OW generals did, likely because they didn't have a rival group to shitpost at and no one gave a fuck anymore.
Hunter Gutierrez
Oh gosh, nobody make any sudden movements to spook him. Does anybody have a deercracker?
Adam Ward
Not really helping your case. Though it wouldn't surprise me considering we can chase out fallout 4 but if an equally cancerous game is discussed here then it's okay. Not saying it's paladins in particular but it's a trend I have noticed in the last year or so. Besides, did they fuck off on their own or did they get chased off?
Brayden Sanchez
those over the shoulder bolder holders look awful
Adrian Torres
I've never touched the game, I just like that one character design.
Andrew Reed
m8 they had their own fucking chart comparing the two, and paladins is very clearly trying to rip it off. Once we chased out OW they no longer had reason to exist.
Alexander Cox
It was tongue-in-cheek, I'm well aware assfaggots except maybe smite wouldn't really work on consoles. you get what i mean though
Lucas Thomas
She looks like a massive whore. Not gonna lie, user.
Dominic Garcia
They'll announce plans to port overwatch to the switch just before release. Doesn't even mean they will, announcing it will have an effect. Otherwise? Free lootbox give away.
If they're smart they'll work out an impossible to sabotage announcement that it comes out in a week so blizz can't fuck with them.
Nathaniel Davis
When's Undermeme?
Caleb Ross
That's why i'm shocked that there are people that think this is more than just a laughable footnote. I would even go far as to say a game like that would only tarnish the switch's lineup.
Asher Ross
I imagine sony would try and shut that down.
There are?
Lucas Jenkins
I just like single braids, alright? It's a weakness of mine and signals wholesomeness to me, for some reason. Also she has a less slutty costume I think.
Brayden Bennett
That would cut in on Animal Crossing's slice of the autistic furry pie, user.
Evan Morales
This is how it starts, user. I'm not going to say too much in fear of a b& though. I am just saying that this is following a real basic pattern we have all seen already.
Jace Jenkins
Paladins > Overwatch
Connor Murphy
she's had every dick in that forest of hers every part of that body I would say "of hers" but when she's clearly nothing more then a stump polisher and breeding sow for natures children you really can't say she owns it anymore
Parker Green
Fair enough. I personally prefer just letting it fall naturally.
Jackson Evans
aside from that she looks good, paladinfag, any lewds of her?
Liam Thompson
What’s a paladin?
Isaac Thomas
Holy fuck I just noticed that, that's hilarious.
Michael Jackson
Capcom already confirmed that they're porting all main Ace Attorney games to Switch, and working on a new AA for it (and phones) as well. archive.is/EAMfq no AAI2 localization ever
Samuel Stewart
When Game Maker can output Switch games. Notice that Undertale PS4 got announced a month after the new version of Game Maker with native PS4 export came out.
Aiden Collins
A few.
William Barnes

Justin Butler

Benjamin Morales
Juan but not forgotten. F.
Brayden Price
Remind me how Hi-rez aren't dead considering they've somehow fucked up three out of four of their games?
Colton White
I said that to Spoony in one of his streams once and I must have been banned in less than 5 seconds. Wew.
Jacob Hill
I mean there are many, many reasons to shit on the game but it is far from dead steamcharts.com/app/444090
Joseph Jenkins
Chibi is so fucking cringe.
Aaron Perry
Paladins has a better competitive filter than Overwatch, that's for sure.
Liam Lopez
look at his dead eyes
Angel Martin
They're mostly confusing it with Batleborn. Not that the comparisons aren't warranted. Paladins can only exist because OW's 40 dollar buy-in keeps enough of the Ruskies and BRs out to form a community around it.
Xavier Price
Paladin's actually makes me fucking mad. I have no love for OW, but considering what a blatant fucking rip off the game is and how they released it at basically the same time, I feel like there should be some compyright infringement there.
Charles Stewart
...
Jack Mitchell
About half of the characters do look like ow ripoffs, but play differently. The entire game plays different outside the basic shooting mechanics, but it's just a different brand of autism
Charles Cox
...
Daniel Miller
I don't know about now, but at launch most of the characters were exactly the same as OW characters.
Leo Sanchez
Torvald is the best tank
Hudson Roberts
HE was a true Paladin of Love.
Brayden Edwards
I know that both games have a huge knight but paladin's has a flamethrower instead of a hammer, and the ice girl that uses the ice block is a really strong frager that flies around and teleports instead of, whatever the ow girl does. Cant say they are completely original, but they did their own twist on them. Also, everything after the first open beta was nearly 100% hires donut steel
The game's pretty boring anyways and being on console should tell you even more about it, but originality is not a problem, the devs being retarded and moving towards even slower gameplay is
Charles White
Wow who would have guessed?
Dominic Adams
Will there ever be a good multiplayer fps with fast movement again?
Chase Mitchell
Lawbreakers is pretty fast :^)
Jaxon Howard
man that's an old meme and wasn't even funny when it started jesus user
Eli Reyes
I'd be willing to bet that any good gameplay found in multiplayer FPS was just a happy accident.
Eli Jackson
Just release overwatch on switch?
Landon Rivera
Dead game coming to dead console How fitting
Ethan Young
Be careful of what you wish for user, the monkey paw is completely active these days.
will it also run at a blisteringly fast framerate of 30FPS with drops?
Jackson White
sad
Angel Young
Nope. Overwatch cunts start looking like plastic boring Pixar girls after a while, only decent girl is the healslut.
William Jenkins
i dont know whats more cringe chibi's mock funeral or the tf2 community streaming an actual funeral on twitch
Christopher Fisher

Zachary Bailey
To be fair pouring molten salt into your cockhole is better than Overwatch.
Aaron Edwards
It's like poetry.
Ayden Mitchell
It is the other way around. That shit is selling and has a good attach rate so everyone is fucking trying to port/develop anything they can to the Switch.
Example: Valkyria Chronicles 4. That thing would be never announced to a Nintendo system if the numbers (current sales, predicted sales, attach rate, etc) wasn't attractive as fuck to Sega.
Tencent bought up Hirez. Which is why they suddenly could afford real artwork/Ingame models for Smite/Paladins. And also is why they release chinese characters all the time.
Zachary Perez
i want to FUCK evie
Justin Clark
paladins is alright as a f2p alt to Overwatch
but you have to remember they ruin tribes
Sebastian Hernandez
I dont see Monster Hunter World announcement for Switch, also heh
Isaiah Rivera
work retail next no one got the switch more people got ps4 then switch on black friday. also any coupons target towards eletronics in general EXCLUDE nintendo products so you still paying close to full price for nintendo shit while you can get other shit for much cheaper.
William Ross
I think the important part is that the Switch is a Nintendo handheld. The last two VC games were handheld exclusive. Switch is the only handheld currently alive. Japan seems to have decided that VC is a handheld franchise now.
Kayden Brooks
really bakes my ziti
Ayden Hall
Oh wow the switch now gets fucking crapcunts, how fucking grand Why are there so many switch faggots that have popped up in the last month, has halfcuck banned thenm to make way for the neofag sonyggers
Brody Kelly
That actually happened
Liam Cook
Cuckchan banned anyone who tried to talk about NeoFAG collapsing with the excuse that "it's not video game related", so you're not far off.
Nathan Rogers
You didn't make it, Luigi.
press f to a fucking nobody who had an equivalent of running a dead end job (running a shitty server)
you?
Josiah Phillips
Have fun with WaluSkie, Bearded Mario and King Bob-omb
I blame Crowbarcat for that
Juan Lewis
Paladins has some good waifus.
Kayden Brown
What about New Vegas getting ported to the Switch? That would be cool.
Jeremiah Jackson
Also, the whole Paladins/Overmeme situation is fucking hilarious. How will blizzard ever recover?
Adam Garcia
Oh god I just got cancer when I realized what it's going to be like
It could only get worse if it wasn't f2p.
Jackson Richardson
It's hilarious how Blizzard spent so much money while riding the dead wave of WoW success from over a decade ago on a game that has been pretty much forgotten by everyone by now.
Kevin Torres
Is it the Trump curse? Because they would put under moderation if you had Pepe the frog as an icon.
Julian Moore

Jackson Adams
Ying is cute! CUTE!
Adam Lewis
Toxiqq was good for a while until the devs took the game way off the rails and the playerbase became total autism
I've worked retail and we've had stacks of things that were remarkably higher than other stacks we made because of simple numbers for our stock. I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch stack was twice that height at the start of the day and the PS4 stack not nearly as high. Not defending the Switch, just pointing out that there's a lot of bullshit images being spread by consolewarring retards trying to make it out to be another WiiU Which is funny because it's reportedly on track to beat the WiiU's lifetime sales by it's first anniversary
It'd take an actual wizard to get that shit running properly.
Josiah Cooper
The nintendo switch is even worse, it's another nintendo wii.
Michael Cox
A colossal disappointment that goes out of its way to shove gimmicks into games that don't need them while also not bothering to try implementing it's main feature in games where it's actually appropriate?
Jeremiah Evans
hi-rez literally just went full jew this week so this announcement is the most flaccid thing. Another year and they will probably take it out back and shoot it in the head like they did with tribes fuck em.
Brody Cooper
...
John Allen
I redid that 3 years ago. It looks awful.
Nathan Edwards
...
Bentley Perry
oh no, what will we ever do without paladindus
Benjamin Scott
I was expecting a Thwomp inspired character for fuck's sake!
Landon Foster
But it is.
Josiah Kelly
My main problem is that after ten fucking years they have concluded into making their overpriced smartphone compatible with steam games that were already created for a while. Nintendo is still pulling 1 step onwards 2 steps backwards bullshit.
Now they're opening a donation page for his sorry dead ass' funeral. I will miss his malware bots asking me to join his dong community.
John Wilson
I actually like this game. Not too shabby for a free game, and the elf chick is a qt.
