There is a brief summary video included to explain things to new players, which is a nice touch, but it still doesn’t beat actually fully following the whole of the events from the first game yourself. So, for this reason, it is a slight shame that The New Order hasn’t also been ported over, but, we shouldn’t ask for too much. You are able to follow along with the plot, but a lot of the big moments, especially in the early hours of the game, certainly won’t shock or have as much of an impact on you like it will have for somebody like me, who played and completed the first game. It follows on immediately after the conclusion of that game and as such, if you’re new to the series or don’t have anything other than a Nintendo console, then you’re missing out on a lot of the plot points that make up the surprisingly good story.
This is a direct sequel to 2014’s Wolfenstein: The New Order, as implied with the ‘II’ in the title. It’s not up there with the all-time greats, no, but it’s certainly one of the better ones since DOOM landed in 2016. If you haven’t then what you can expect is yet another top quality game from Bethesda, one that has all the hallmarks needed for a great first-person shooter. If you know about the game on other consoles or have played the original game then you know what you’re getting.
To get this out of the way from the outset, this is the exact same game that the other platforms got late last year, no modes have been cut, and the gameplay has been left untouched.
But after an excellent port of DOOM, I’m happy to report that the porting wizards over at Panic Button have successfully brought Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus to Nintendo’s portable machine with only one really obvious drawback needed to make it run on a handheld device, and that is a hit on the visuals. After all, both titles are quite the lookers so one would think that it wouldn’t exactly be the simplest task getting both games to run at a level that us as the consumers would be happy with.
I think we were all a tad surprised by the announcement towards the backend of 2017 that both DOOM and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus would be coming to the Switch.
