Terraria for the Nintendo Switch finally gets a release date

tswitch627.png

At long last, we know that Terraria is actually going to release on the Nintendo Switch, and it'll be out incredibly soon. Originally teased as one of the first games for the then-named Nintendo NX, Terraria's Switch port has been one that fans have been waiting a long time for. The same developer who made the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 ports, Pipework Studios, will also be in charge of the Switch version. You'll be able to play when it launches digitally on June 27th, with a physical edition promised at a later date.

Hated it on PC, loved it on VITA.
Couch+touchscreen (couchscreen ?) is a terrific combo.

Opposite here. Playing with a controller is unbearable for me, especially when placing blocks and furniture. WASD for directions, Space bar for jump, Q for hookshot is an easy keyboard combo, and using the cursor border makes the game nice to play, IMO.

What? Fix your damn game on other plaforms first!

Played it on Vita for 100hrs+. The game was fine with glithes here and there. After a few patches it became a horrible mess. Then they dropped support for legacy platforms. PSV version remains broken. Forever. You are forced to use the latest version once the patch gets installed. No official downgrade possible.
Then I moved to PS4. Multiplayer was broken for at least a year!!! (Lag problems, connection drops, not possible to join etc.) I stopped playing it and my friends who bought this game because of my recommendation didn't even bother with it after they realized in what kind of broken state it is.

What a shame. A splendid game down the drain.

When a company waits until 2 days before it releases to announce the product. Its better than it releasing with no announcement though so its unexpected like "WHAT??? HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN OUT I NEVER READ ABOUT IT"

You're right, the way they handled Vita version was terrible.
After a 2015 specific update, RAM became an issue and the game kept crashing every 20minutes. It took them a whole year to fix that.
Since then, crashes almost disappeared and I engulfed maybe 100 hours in it.

It is a good game in the end, on way too many platforms and it appears the team is too small to handle stability efficiently.
Don't you wonder why it took them 2 years to port the 1.3 version to the Nintendo cash-cow ?

That's great news! I've just started playing the game yesterday with some friends via Steam, because they never played the game and I forgot most of the things since the last time I played was 2 years ago, I might start playing on my Switch now and will try to convice my friends to buy there too.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
