Quake II Nintendo Switch Review - Is It Worth It?

Mostly want it for the co-op. And since it's like $4 now seems a good time to grab it.

Quake 2 multiplayer is has amazing has quake 3

I hope the highly talented team are working on the godly Quake 3: Arena... and Quake Wars after that. Quake Wars derserves a new lease of life.

FOV slider wins!

It's on sale right now for 4 bucks!

I had as much playing this as I did back when it released, especially since I've never had a chance to try any of the expansions.
This right here is a prime example of how you should remaster retro games.

One of my favorites! Super cool game all around!

i want halflife 1+2

Its hard to play in handheld, everything looks so small. Its very hard to aim at targets and shoot them, you barley see the enemies

I’m nauseous just watching the review 🤢

Playing through now loved that this had left handed weapon carry back in the day ........but now find peeking corners difficult in left hand

Can you host a lan game with pc and uwe your Nintendo switch to join...with out the online shit to buy for the switch

Really enjoying this. Not played it since the XBox 360 version (I can't even remember what game it came with). I hadn't appreciated how much of an influence it had on Doom 2016.

For 10 dollars it is absolutely worth it.

Can I start here or do I need to play the Original?

To see so much love poured into an old game like this truly warms my heart. I was 10 years old 97 and while I did play Q2 ALOT in multiplayer in my early teens I dont think I ever played through the full campaign. Well what better time than now

Does the game vary much in multiplayer between Quake 2 and Quake 2 N64 maps- just curious!

This is a fantastic package. Currently playing through on Game Pass but I will be getting it on Switch for the gyro controls. My only complaint (and it's a tiny one) is that the N64 version doesn't retain the unique UI and menus made for that version of the game. That N64 version had it's own distinct vibe and the unique HUD, menus and fonts were part of that. Outside of that, it's amazing. 10 dollars is an absolute steal.

I know this is not Switch related, but can we take a second to appreciate that if you owned Quake 2 on PC already, this was just free! They just gave you this remaster, for absolutely free! Like, what is going on here 😂

Great port and that they included Quake II 64 was a sweet bonus. I hope they release the beloved Q3A and one of my guilty pleasures, Quake 4. Imagine Quake 4 In the special build of the Doom Eternal engine made for the Switch port! The Strogg would look so much more maniacal and badass.

These developers deserve my money I got this as free update since I have Quake 2 in my game library. I decided to give them my 10 dollars for the Switch version, I can honestly say the joycons are not good for this game but you can hook up a keyboard and mouse on switch to play it like the PC version . Get this game if you love old school shooters. Sonic Mayhem soundtrack still holds up.

Call of the machine is a fountain of youth. Well done!

It has always been worth it. Even in 2023.

Watching this is making me queasy. haha. I don't get along with FPS games sometimes.

Is there a physical release?

After not playing the PC original for so long... The one thing that really stands out today, some of the enemies look a bit small. It's almost as if this was a design choice back in the day just to save some CPU horse power for other things. 😉

😮😮🙂🙂🎇🎆✨️😘😘

The controls feel really fast, my movement and aiming feels so quick, has anyone found a good set of settings which they find easier?

I grabbed this the second I seen it release, there is absolutely nothing negative I could say about either Quake 1 or 2’s Switch ports or the remasters in general.

For those that don't know, Quake 2 N64 is completely different than Quake 2 PC. All new levels, and it's really great. The color palette is different as well, it's more purple'y. It definitely deserves a play through

Let's just be honest. Is it ever * really * enough waffling?

I wonder if the N64 pad works with the N64 quake 2 🤔🤔🤔on the switch??

Oh yeah Quake is king!! Love these games so much

I essentially had this free on Steam as well as Xbox Game Pass, but decided to also buy it on Switch to show support to the devs of this amazing package.

no, because for a game like this you need mouse + keyboard. Thanks

I am old enough to remember having Quake I & II back in the day. This is just amazing. Its so good I ended up buying it for switch and ps5. Portability for trips away and such and then 120fps on ps5.

Id software have always been somewhat focused on the people. Remember they left Quake 1 open source so the modding community could literally have at it day 1.

Not sure if it were the same with Quake II but given that we've already got about 6 ad ons on the remake thus far, is it hard to imagine we'll get the same with this absolute GEM of a game.

Quake III arena next ....
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Any Quake on a local multiplayer is always worth a playthrough.

I’ve got this on the Switch, where is the music?!

The Outro is HILIARIOUS!

Why didn’t they do this with Goldeneye???

I grabbed this the second I seen it release, there is absolutely nothing negative I could say about either Quake 1 or 2’s Switch ports or the remasters in general.

10/10 job by Nightdive

Guys I want to say firstly this is not a hater comments I just need to give you all the facts to get the best recommendation. I did not like Doom on switch. I always want to give well loved games a chance. This looks a lot like doom and it just doesn’t look fun. I almost want to buy it just to try but I’m not sold. Given everything I’ve said should I skip it or give it try?

Played this badly back as an 8 year old on a demo but will now try playing it through not as badly as a 33 year old. The price point is also excellent for a switch title.

I hope Rockstar Games is taking notes on what a "commercially accurate" re-release ACTUALLY is.

The year of incredible remake/remasters with all-time classics Quake 2, RE4 and Metroid Prime. Love it :-)

Please, Nightdive, PLEASE do Turok 3 next.

almost exactly?

I love the MP always find lobbies,

I hate to say it. But feel like they need to revisit ultimate doom and doom 2 to at least add online play.
