The classic is back. The old classic version of Gothic 1 ported to Nintendo Switch with native gamepad UI, controls, and numerous fixes!Return to the Colony ...

It’s coming!

I loved it when I originally played it. I am not sure how dated it will feel now. But I would love to give it another go. Specially since I never played the sequels.

Any Gothic fans here? Going to get the classic or going to wait for the remake?

Edit:

Here is the unedited list of fixes which will be incorporated into the Gothic 1 Switch port. This port is the original game code, no remastering, and no remaking, it is the port of the original code to the Nintendo Switch.

The following list of fixes will be made though:

    Gothic is one of my favorite games and Polish dubbing is a masterpiece in itself. I replay it yearly so I’m already used to cumbersome input settings but I’m very curious about controller UI.

    Gothic has a cult following in Poland

      Poland has a good taste!

      I hope the controls are good, I didn’t realize it, but my tolerance for bad controls has gone down extremely. Recently tried to play Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and couldn’t play ME:1. I may have kept playing if I had never played it before, but I already knew the narrative, and the controls just annoyed me too much to continue playing.

      So, hope they have made the controls smooth. I should be able to handle the rest.
