Of course, Rebellion’s Sniper Elite series is no stranger to a Nintendo platform - the original V2 having released for the Wii U way back when and while this isn’t the developer/publisher’s first rodeo getting to grips with the console, it’s perhaps their most high profile release thus far as we come to Sniper Elite V2 Remastered. The crux to the Switch’s hybrid allure of being both a home console and portable device alike: just what corners, if any, have been cut, and can a remaster still look and play like a better experience than its originator?
The novelty of handheld portability has its pluses, but as the reality of the Switch’s hardware limitations stare us straight in the face, how far these games - these remasters as they so claim - have improved upon their original incarnations is always going to be the question many will want answering. Support that finds titles releasing the same day as their Xbox/PlayStation/PC counterparts. It is of course beneficial in an age - strange as it may still seem - where Nintendo’s own console, the Switch, is getting third-party support. Delving into a remaster can be a double-edged sword, particularly if one’s time is spent solely on console, and a single platform at that.
