Saints Row IV was thought to be coming to Switch after it was listed by a French retailer. A page for the game has now popped up on Amazon as well, all but confirming the news.
Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.
Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Juan at SwitchWatchTV got his hands on Saints Row 4 Re-elected for Nintendo Switch. Check out his review here and see what he thinks.
This is 100% happening, confirmed by our Deep Silver PR contact earlier today.
"Deep Silver today confirm that Saints Row®:IV™- Re-Elected™ will be available for the Nintendo Switch™ on 27 March 2020 and pre orders are now open. "
Given it was originally DLC for saints row 3 but grew big enough to be its own game running on the same engine it makes sense that they port this also.
But the ultimate question is why not make a pack with all 4 games and finally get sr1 off of the 360
game released on 2013 we are 2020, why in hell this is a highlight ? , oh is Nintendo of course , seriously Nintendo fans at least ask for a sequel for god sake.
