Epic Games' popular battle royale title, Fortnite, has made its way to Nintendo Switch, offering a free-to-play experience. While the game boasts a vibrant and engaging experience, a key drawback is the lack of Chinese language support. This article offers a brief firsthand account of the game's performance on the Nintendo platform, highlighting the gameplay and the significant absence of localization.
Fortnite, the wildly popular battle royale game known for its cartoon aesthetic and dynamic gameplay, has finally arrived on the Nintendo Switch. Available for free download on the eShop, the game promises a similar experience to the PC and mobile versions, and potentially to the behemoth that is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG). However, our initial foray into the Switch version revealed a significant hurdle: a lack of Chinese language support. While the game offers nine languages, including English and Japanese, players seeking a Chinese-language experience are left with a frustrating gap.
Our experience was, to put it mildly, disorienting. The initial impression was one of frantic, colourful chaos, typical of the Fortnite experience. The game's vibrant visuals translated well to the Switch, and the fast-paced nature of the battle royale genre held its own. We did encounter a few notable challenges. The game's performance was directly impacted by our notoriously slow internet connection, leading to frustratingly long loading times and occasional disconnections. This, unfortunately, is a common issue with online multiplayer games on less powerful platforms.
The controls, a critical aspect of any console game, felt responsive and intuitive. The game's simplified button layout on the Switch Joy-Cons proved surprisingly effective for navigating the fast-paced environment, enabling a smooth experience, despite the occasional disorientation of the fast-moving action. The overall feel of the game, however, was significantly impacted by the lack of Chinese language support. Navigating the menus and understanding the in-game prompts was challenging, especially without the crucial context of the native language.
While the visual appeal and core gameplay mechanics of Fortnite on Switch are engaging, the absence of Chinese localization remains a considerable disappointment. This is especially true for the vast Chinese community of Fortnite players who now have to navigate a significant language barrier. We can only hope that Epic Games will prioritize adding Chinese support in future updates. For now, the experience on Switch remains a vibrant, sometimes frustrating, adventure, best enjoyed by those with a strong grasp of English or other supported languages.
