Rykster Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I play the Switch version when in school, and to this day I still await the day when Wildcard gives Abstraction the thumbs up on updating the Switch port. It's a neat little version with so much potential. I'd hate to see it be put to waste. It doesn't really make sense to keep the Mobile version up-to-date, but leave the Switch version in the dust.

TheOtherNiki Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 So it's two years later. I just bought the game and found this forum. Has Wildcard completely given up on the Switch version? The graphics are still horrendous and still no DLCs? Did I just waste my money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherNiki Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Is this a DLC us Nintendo people will actually get, or have we been completely forgotten? Still waiting for a patch to make the graphics not blurry and headache-inducing. (Does WildCard even check this forum, or are we screaming into a void here?)

ARKchimp Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-03-21-how-they-got-ark-survival-evolved-working-on-switch#:~:text=This has been a good,during the Unreal keynote talk. So Abstraction is the team that brought Ark to switch and it looks like it was slap together rush job, apparently Wildcard only requested that it was playable didn't ask them to ensure that SOLE PURPOSE of the games attraction was built into the game. In other words they didn't care to add more maps to the environment becuase they were only required to make it playable on one map. It also looks like they washed their hands of it. Abstaction is already looking to move to other projects rather than focusing on making Nintendo Switch Ark update the to include more maps and items.

ObstinateSparrow Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Try to look on the bright side. Since wildcard abandoned Ark on Switch, there are no updates. This probably doesn't sound like a good thing, so let me explain. No updates means that when you buy this version, there are no downloads. You can just pop it in and play. If you ask me, the fact that all maps other than the Island have to be downloaded means that no one is interested in preserving them. Which means they can't be all that good (just go along with me on this). No updates means no patches. No patches means that the game can't be screwed up any more than it already is. Believe me, it could be a lot worse. Also, the Switch version is, ironically, the most complete version of Ark you can buy that has an actual physical copy. Sad, but true. So be the fox, and tell yourself the grapes you can't reach are sour and not worth eating. There is comfort in believing that what you can't have isn't worth having. FYI- if you use the console command 'prevviewmode' once (yes, with two v's), it eliminates the shadows entirely. The game looks more cartoony, but you'll have an easier time telling what's what.

MaliciousBane Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) That's all wonderful news, now about that Switch release, is there any reason why we were not informed before you shut down all our servers? Our eggs? Babies? Projects in motion, absolutely mean nothing to you? Our time exceedingly and consistently wasted on this game for three straight years and you just still keep bringing the blows to us.

SidemanZGZ Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Game is paused during shutdowns, I'm not worried about my babies. They are not having emergency shutdowns/maintenances for pleasure without saying a word. It's like the 3 years silence around Switch state : they had a good reason to not speak about it (legally). Probably the same here. We will have infos when they will be able to give us some infos. Just relax and enjoy the nice weather, we can easily replace babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they have any good reason for being silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliciousBane Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 There ya go Nintendo Switch customers, once again we are left out of yet another event, forgotten again. It's pretty common place for Wild Card to completely keep neglecting Nintendo Switch customers whilst trying to sell us yet another version that will be equally unsupported. This has been a constant since Arks release 3 years ago on Nintendo Switch, expect it in the new release version as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliciousBane Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) Switch gets nothing again? Not even rates again? 2 and half hours everyone else is into the event, we planned for it, but we got nothing. What did Nintendo Switch owners do so wrong? To be constantly neglected? Besides purchase your product and be die hard fans through its brokeness?

Scipizoa Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 So for obvious reason I refused to buy ark on switch, but now that it's being rebuilt in tomorrow's update, I'd like to know two things, 1. Will the ultimate survivor edition for switch be available on a physical catridge. 2. If not, will there atl east be new cartridges made available with the new rebuilt version of the base game? Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for whether physical version will be for the Ultimate Survivor Edition or not i'm not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngrySaltire Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Never mind a physical Ultimate Survivor Edition, I cant even find a digital version to order on the nintendo store or anywhere else. Can only find the older version. Is it just a case of buying the older version and its just automatic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonegreywolf20 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 If you look at the page for the original version of the game on the Nintendo site, there is a link for DLCs. Click that and it will bring you to the Ultimate Survivor Edition. They have it available now. You may not be able to see the updated graphics or Scorched Earth yet as the official time is 10am EST for launch, but it is at least there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
