Worms W.M.D - Nintendo Switch Version: What this means for you!

[Jonno]

Hey Community,

Today we revealed the exciting news that Worms W.M.D is coming to the Nintendo Switch!

Of course, you're PC gamers playing on Steam so we've come to explain what this means for you.

Hat & Building Editor

The good news is this is basically finished and still on its way. As some of you have pointed out however, it's overdue and still not here. Today I can provide clarification as to why this is the case.

1. We are currently awaiting the patch to go through rigerous QA Testing, however with the release of Aven Colony, The Escapists 2 and Overcooked (Switch) the QA team had to be prioritised to our latest launches. Having said that this update is still in the queue and will be happening.

tl:dr - You'll still get this update, unfortunately it's been slightly delayed.


Worms W.M.D - Nintendo Switch Version

Worms W.M.D is coming to Nintendo Switch, not only is this great for Worms fans on that platform but it shows our commitment to Worms W.M.D and our continued intent to support this title.

The Switch version of Worms W.M.D will be launching with a new 'Space' theme, two brand new Forts 'Mushroom' and 'Treehouse'. These will be joined by three new hats and three new gravestones.

The good news is all this new content will be coming to the Steam version of Worms W.M.D too! We don't have a date for when this content will drop yet, but rest assured you'll get to enjoy this free content too.

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding.

If you're looking to get a sneak peek at the Nintendo Switch inspired content that you'll be getting your hands on then check out the trailer below:

please do something about the game play... it feels boring after some time.. people do the same things over and over again and there are a lot of under used weapons

What do you mean? Worms always has certain weapons that get used far more than others. It's situational.

As well as we need more larger maps. Sometimes large maps looks very small for 6*8 worms.

The maps are huge compared to previous games! 6 player matches with 8 worms apiece should be a bit crowded because that's nearly 50 worms on the map! I like the random map generator, but I do wish we could generate maps and then draw on them and make edits like we could in wa/wwp.

As far as more weapons goes, there's a bunch from the previous games that I'd like to see added to make the gameplay less about all-out offense and more strategic overall.

Yes. I'm talking about this. This make game not very comfortable and we need more large maps for max number players (worms).

WMD has the largest maps in any Worms game ever....

Don't get me wrong, I'd be up for even bigger maps, but I think they're already pretty big.

Does it get crossplay so we'd get more players to play with?

It really needs crossplay, and i hope for a lobby system. Nintendo or developers don't have any excuses to exclude these kind of things now with parental controls being there for kids. Just IMO.

This invite friend, no chat, no lobby thing with games is not needed anymore.. Wasn't in the first place really. It's too locked in and it hurts the experience. Surely if parental controls are set up then they can just have quick match options for kids or something, lobby for the rest of us.. problem solved.

There will not be any crossplay. I'm willing to bet on it.

[AmazeeLuck]

Nintendo's lack of online features is less for "protecting the children" and more out of plain incompetence. They have always had the worst online services.

Crossplay will require some work on Team 17's part, and that clearly isn't happening since we still don't have crossplay between GOG/Steam/Xbox One/PS4.

[```skunk3```]

The next Worms game really needs UNIVERSAL cross play. If they cannot pull it off technically they should just make the game exclusive to computer with cross play between all major operating systems, and none of that Steam vs. GOG nonsense. I want absolutely NO division.

Unfortunately, I doubt it will happen unless the next title is very far away because I don't think the current gen systems will ever have cross play with each other. Even with the next consoles I doubt it will happen. Team17 wants to make as much money as possible so of course they will release the game on as many platforms as possible, which is fine for people who play locally with friends, but for people who really care about the online aspect, it's awful.

I really just wish that the console Worms players would jump to computer for Worms as the computer version is always the best.

No, I mean whatever comes after WMD. Of course I'd love to see crossplay added to WMD though.

Current gen consoles can ALL have cross play right now. Sony just recently backed out of Minecraft's total crossplay deal but it's still moving forward on:
PC, Xbox, Switch and iPad. Same server. Same game. Same everything. All at the same time.

It CAN be done. Rocket League is doing it. Sony is throwing wrenches in the gears right now but they will soon see the error of their ways. By the time the true next gen consoles come out, you will see games being played by people on PC and smartphones and Xboxes, etc. all at the same time.

The next Worms game NEEDS CROSSPLAY. Regardless of the limitations, T17 must overcome them and deliver it. No franchise in the industry needs it as badly as Worms. Hopefully they will extend the life of WMD until the next gen arrives and keep it reasonably fresh until then. I'd be more than happy to pay $5 here and there if the content can't be provided for free. I sincerely hope the next Worms title is still a long ways off and that cross platform play is the number 1 item on the agenda once development starts.

Guys. I think players need to some stability. Worms WMD here only for ~1 year. It's too early to talk about the next Worms (or about we need next Worms). I think we need to develop the current. We need more DLC (with maps, with weapons, maybe with map editor as we have in revolution etc.). I like Worms game but why I need to buy new (for ~25 dollars) to play?! Heh.

And what do you think "next Worms" should looks like? Like 2.5D (IMO it's sooo ugly (but it's only IMO (yes (not butthurt, I say - IMO))))? Or maybe like WMD? If you mean WMD, why should we have this new, only for cross-platform multiplayer, seriously?

Yes please, this kid is really annoying, plus we can barely understand what he says. =_=

My hype for next update for Worms somehow slowly vanishes - perhaps because I saw tweets about features of Nintendo Switch version rather than the release date of the update (&, in case it will be released along, Nintendo Switch release). And the latest update is 4 MONTHS FRICKIN' OLD.
EDIT: For that, I've changed my review from positive to negative since today
