I´ve been interested in this game for a while, but more and more I´ve stopped playing on PC so I never bought it in the end. Now, a Switch version would be something I´d get without a second thought, everyone says it´s a really funny game.

 

[That Damn Kid]

I posted a few ideas for stages on r/RocketLeague...hopefully Psyonix will consider Nintendo themed stages!

 

[smashballTaz]

Yes please! And of course an option for a MK Double Dash-style giant green shell to replace the football skin.

 

[That Damn Kid]

OMG I didn't think about Mario Kart items as well. A rumble mode with those would be incredible.

Ah yes, the drawing of the paraplegic kid again.

Never ceases to creep me out.

[Arttemis]

Having local multiplayer Rocket League would be amazing for conventions

This is the most important aspect of the Switch, the revival of local multiplayer! Man, I'd rebuy the game JUST for the chance at this.

 

[EloKa]

Nonsense. The game would be absolutely playable with a single joy-con

Have you ever played Rocket League? there is physically no chance to use the current control scheme on a single joy con

 

[CaviarMeths]

Ah yes, the drawing of the paraplegic kid again.

Never ceases to creep me out.

No relevance, it was just amusing to me how well the eyes line up.

 

[Machina]

Ah yes, the drawing of the paraplegic kid again.

Dude seriously, try it. You will never play the Switch any other way again

 

[Arttemis]

Dude seriously, try it. You will never play the Switch any other way again

I've tried it and my joycons' reception disappears.

 

[btrboyev]

Curious how it well it can play with digital trigger buttons.

I don't see it as an issue.

 

[foltzie1]

So very late to this thread, but how hard would a port be since Unreal Engine 3 doesn't directly support the Switch?

Either EPIC would have to agree to making Switch a compile target for UE3 or Psyonix would have to do the port work themselves.

 

[DrDomVonDoom]

They would actually have to put some work in to port it since UE3, which is probobly what their evaluating. Its not that impressive, graphically of a game, so it should run just fine, maybe tweaked down a bit, but its not like its The Last of Us 2 or something, its pretty nominal graphics wise.

The resurgence of lan style competition is what makes the Switch a great unit, there are tournaments for this game on the daily, having a team show up, throw down on their switches is such an easy solution. Definitely a pro controller game if your looking to be halfway serious tho.

 

[Slythe]

I'd double dip for sure

 

[The Hermit]

Ah yes, the drawing of the paraplegic kid again.

Never ceases to creep me out.

Thanks, I though I was the only one. Can't beleive people think this is "amazing".

 

[Conor_Fool]

I would triple dip so quick if this happens. Plz Psyonix

 

[That Damn Kid]

Couple concepts for Mario Kart items in a Rumble mode...

 

[Nutter]

This game on the go would be fun.

Off topic, but this image always makes me think of Bedman from Guilty Gear Xrd.

This is awesome. Nintendo cars/items/arenas would be amazing.

 

[Haines]

Would be amazing on the switch.

How so.

I own a switch and this doesn't interest me at all.

I don't see any pros the switch offers this game.

I'd much rather the new mk8 deluxe

 

[mooooose]

I'd buy this in a heartbeat. Honestly one of my most desired games for the switch.

 

[Thoraxes]

How so.

Local co-op/versus without having to lug around my PC would be nice for starters. And everyone would get their own screen too.

 

[sfried]

Having this + local LAN means funtimes.

 

[added_time]

It makes no sense to ask their existing community if they want this when the real goal is netting new fans. They would get tons of new fans with a Switch release.
I've already played 100 hours on Steam but I should not be the reason they port this to Switch.

 

[PeterGAF]

So since you would rather MK8 that means that Rocket League wouldn't be awesome on the Switch?

Wtf is up with people on GAF these days... "I don't want something therefore it shouldn't happen?" Jesus fucking Christ...

 

[notaskwid]

Seriously ? You should send them to Nintendo

I don't want thing. You shouldn't either.

 

[Tamanator]

Would definitely play Rocket League on the Switch. I've enjoyed the little I've played on PC and I think the Switch audience will lap it up. It'd be such a great game to be able to play local multiplayer with multiple switches.

 

[theaffection]

Seems like a No-Brainer tbh.

Yep this and Overwatch just seem like no-brainers for Switch

 

[qko]

How so.

I'm not a fan of the game, but I can see a lot of pros of being of the Switch to those who like it (like local LAN, having your own screen, portability). Just because you have no interest doesn't mean the Switch's library wouldn't benefit from having such a popular game.

I mean, it would be a Minecraft situation when it finally came to Nintendo consoles after its peak, but regardless, if Psyonix is looking into it, I hope they feel the Switch is worth their time.

 

[weekev]

Having played both for over 100 hours I'd rather have Rocket League. According to your reasoning Ninty should cancel MK8 deluxe. Although in my case I love them both. I just love Rocket League that little bit more.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I've bought Rocket League and all the DLC for full price on two platforms now. You'd best believe I'd do it on a third if they released on Switch.

I've been playing it practically every day for over a year. The game just feels great and it's nice how quickly you can get into a match and they don't last too long. Very addictive. You'll find yourself saying "just one more...".

Currently have it on PS4, but I'd definitely buy it in on the Switch as well.

 

[royox]

Yeah that on the go would be a no brainer for me

I have a question. A legit question.

Isn't this game 100% online? How can you play such kind of game "on the go"?

Note one thing: not every country has the same Internet infrastructures. Where I live (spain a.k.a european 3rd world) it's unthinkable for example.

Can only speak for North America, but many of us have the ability to tether WiFi devices to our smartphones. I assume that's an option in many parts of the world.

Game is woeful if network isnt 100%, will be driving in a straight line and will randomly jerk your car around for no reason. Rocket league is optimised for less then 50 ping, above that and lag impacts pretty big

 

[Xenoblade]

I doubt it'll happen. Psionix has made too much money already. There's no more motivation to release the game on other platforms.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Minecraft on Switch cancelled.
MS already made too much money on it.

Okay on a more serious note - i get your argument but Rocket League is hot right now, who knows when and if they will have another title as big...if they are smart they put it on every successful system that can run it. Have they made alot of money ? Yes...so much that they disregard the possible income on a successful Nintendo console ? I dont think so.

4G mobile hotspots or tethering it to smartphones. I live in the Azores in Portugal, that's even more European 3rd World than Spain, and I can easily get connections up to 20mb down/ 9mb up with pings around 30 ms.

OMG, I'm pressing my finger on the iPhone sensor, but the Apple Pay doesn't seem to be working!! Someone make this happen and take my money!!! Hope they are reading this thread!! Psyonix, Nintendo, please!

There's offline play in all the game modes with bots.

Rocket League also has local multi splitscreen, though that probably wouldn't work on the tiny tablet.

 

[CrayToes]

It's easy money for Psyonix if they're up to the task of getting it to run at 60fps on weaker hardware.

 

[Haunted]

I know of 39.99 motivations to do a Switch version. x_x

 

[buttdiver]

Dude seriously, try it. You will never play the Switch any other way again

Personally, I find the sticks and buttons way too small. I have normal sized hands as well

The pro controller is amazing though and is my preferred input method.

 

[DavidDesu]

DO IT!

If a game like MK8 can run at 60fps then Rocket League can surely be optimised for the system.

All I know is that I would buy it day one and play on my Switch as well as my PS4.
