Rec Room already confirmed it's not happing becouse on Nintendo switch it's hard to comunicate so theres no point playing.
Pandamia
I think this is a cool idea :) would be pretty fun and it’d feel better than the mobile app!
sebee
Pandamia: Scroll down to the other comments. This isn’t a good idea. This would increase the player base by children. How many ports do we need to satisfy the community?
Pandamia
sebee: let me make it clear: children can play recroom as juniors or with parental consent and if you don’t like being in the same room as a child don’t just switch rooms or block them. Plus it widens the community with more player to support the game and creators in the game. I only see this as a good thing. You’re acting like kids won’t play anyways. Teenagers/adults cause use Nintendo if they just want to hop on real quick and not have to deal with the crazy touch screen joysticks nor the trouble of connecting a controller to their phone. I’ve read the other comments and I find them unconvincing.
I don’t see why several of them got rude too. Maybe think of the whole picture and just “oh no children” because either way there will be children because a lot of parent are okay with them playing rec room it’s our job as a community to keep them safe from predators or if you don’t want to be around them then just respectfully walk away.
sebee
Pandamia: I think that you actually joked in this comment, because there is no way you think that kids actually use a junior account. Also, if you actually mean that we need to "walk away" when there's a toxic kid. If you are in a public reccenter for example, and the kid is toxic to everyone, then everyone is "happy-minded" so they "walk away" right? No, you can't just make someone change their mind because you want to. This is a bad idea, and we don't need a nintendo switch port. Plus, kids need a microphone or headset to talk, there isn't a built-in microphone on the switch.
Also, you can't change controls in Rec Room, so how do you think the controls will be? Plus there's already too many kids so on the phone already, so what makes you think we need a switch port? Phone is portable, and on the go too, plus there's cellular on the phone. Oh, your phone isn't compatible with Rec Room? Sucks, doesn't it? Use steam link. You don't have a computer? Sucks. Looks like you can't play it portable.
Pandamia
sebee: sounds like you didn’t read what I said at all. No matter what there’s going to be kids on ALL platforms. I do have a computer I never said I don’t don’t see why you’re trying to take a petty jab at me over me proving you wrong and you not even actually reading what I said
sebee
Pandamia: I triple check to make sure. Try reading the response i got from Zigzag. We dont need another port. Should we make a Wii U port as well? Ps2? 3DS? Ps Vita? This probably won't change your mind but I have got another thing ready so be warned. And you never mentioned anything about kids on ALL platforms in the old comment. You never even mentioned anything in them latest comment about kids not using a junior account. I know 2 friends of mine who are junior accounts, but then switched over to a non-junior account.
Also, I find it annoying when children post on their bios about them "being gay". Can 9 year olds have a sexuality? I'm guessing they cannot, and faking it. If you attack me over this, you probably ARE a little kid posting about fake mental health disorders and fake sexualitys. So yeah, change my mind. You won't have me second guessing. Try catching me second guessing.

sebee: XBladeX2 is my rec room user name friend me and then we will have a talk
J
Jamie
Pandamia: you have great words that you use in sentences beautifully
J
Jamie
sebee: also we have a reporting system and junior accounts cannot talk and they will most likely not have a mic
Pandamia
sebee: as I’ve said before but I’ll say it again because you obviously didn’t care to read my response: I already read it and already debunked or invalidated each of those comments before. Also your homophobic opinions are none of my concern and if you find the personal life’s or children trying to figure out who they are because they are CHILDREN, then block them. They can have a sexuality. Why do you think little kids get crushes? They first develop the feelings aspect then in their teenage years they start realizing and craving more. Gross to even say since they are children and it’s none of our business about their journey to find themself and maybe just block people that fake disorders, fakers exist in adults too and it’s VERY easy to just block people. Also the dumb “change my mind” stuff is annoying and you’re just throwing in random things at this point thinking your making points but you should already know their personal lives aren’t to bug you unless you let it. It’s like saying a stranger has green hair and it’s ruined your life, it makes no sense at all.
sebee
Pandamia: By the way, this is my own opinion. I don't like Rec Room on the nintendo switch, but the idea sounds good to you?You have nothing to do with my opinion, change my mind. You won't. Also, you are really continuing trying to start even more drama, is this even a real human at this point? And obviously I wasn't TRYING to be homophobic. Just trying to cough up an answer, But respond to this: How many ports do we need to satisfy the community?
We are all part of the community, so you "human", who's part of the community, how many ports do you need to get satisfied?
and obviously I said i triple check, so it looks like you didn't even care to read what I wrote. Is it now that you just don't answer the things i say if they're true? Looks like everything's true, i'm albert einstein!
sebee
Jamie: I will.

Jamie: my user is respectthevetsroux but also sebee.
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo)
sebee, Jamie add me in on this convo, I'm interested. What times do you guys get on?
sebee
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo): I do now.
GraysonDoesVR
Yeah 👍
SabakiSabaku
No. Stop asking for Rec Room on the Switch.

Jamie: are you six or something
J
Jamie
Trey Martin: you to ****ing with me!?
T
Trey Martin
Jamie: thanks for confirming that what I said was right
T
Trey Martin
You people act like this would improve the game when in reality it would just add a bunch of little kids. You can’t even easily get a mic on switch so what’s even the point
J
Jamie
Trey Martin: Junior Accounts!
T
Trey Martin
Jamie: literally no one uses those
pranker mats
we need to as it will help i personaly have one and it would be great for playing and building when away from home
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo)
pranker mats: That's what the mobile app is for, we already have platforms for this, we don't need more platforms that wont do jack squat but add more children.
Oh you don't like the touch screen controls? Then here's a bright idea, go connect a controller of your choice with bluetooth. You can even use the joycons that you already have, because the joycons use bluetooth.
pranker mats
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo): well thats a lie yes it can connect with computer, mac and android but NOT ipjone and ipad
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo)
pranker mats: Well that sucks doesn't it?
Also figures I wouldn't know about it, after all I really don't like Apple mobile devices simply for the less amount of customization, I like my terminals, and there whole "Don't trust the consumer" business model. Don't get me wrong, Apple makes quality products but the previously listed problems are deal breakers for me.
That doesn't change my argument, we don't need another platform just to "add more mobility to the game" we have mobile, we don't need any other "mobile consoles"
The only "mobile console" that I support adding support for is the Steam Deck, because that's not them just adding support for the Steam Deck, its adding support for linux. Adding support for linux should bring plenty of creative people who will be able to actually help this game.
Also you do know you can edit your post to fix spelling mistakes right?
sebee
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo): You do know that some iOS arent compatible with Rec Room, right? So this is probably a good idea.
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo)
sebee: Yes I know that some iOS devices are not compatible. Not every windows 10 system works with rec room. While yes this would create an environment that would guarantee that a device of this name would work, that doesn't change my point.
When has rec room ever been "people with old devices should be able to play RR"? The original Xbox One is barely supported, it runs worse then crisis on a 10 year old machine. What makes you think that, if they will not even support Android devices that are older then 3 years, they will support a 5 year old console.
Also stuff like Steam Link exists, if you have a PC and a phone, you can play rec room even when your phone is an older phone.
You know what, I have a better idea, lets request them make a WebGL version so that it's supported on almost EVERY platform. All you would need is a browser that can run WebGL games and it's automatically on your platform.
If we make a switch port lets just go all the way and create a 3DS port as well, why not through in a PS VITA port as well, you know what, I bet there are still 5 people playing on the Wii U, why not include them? Oh you don't what to include these people, I thought you guys were all about being inclusive but I guess I was wrong. Are you starting to see the domino effect here? "Oh well you already added so many devices, what's one more?" If it doesn't end here then where will it end? at what point will the community be satisfied? will they ever?
sebee
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo): You got a point there.
Pandamia
pranker mats: controllers can connect to iphone and iPad I’ve already connected mine to mine so maybe you aren’t doing it right? The only downside is you can’t use the controllers input slots to use a microphone.
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo)
Absolutely not, we don't need another port that will only bring more children to the platform. Also we have mobile versions, we have it on the go.
Tony
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo): absolutely not. We need another port thag will bring more possibilities to the platform. We mag have mobile support but some of us prefer controllers
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo)
Tony: I'm guessing your joking but how you formatted your message is a bit weird so in case your not.
In its current state, Switch will not bring enough players who will spend enough money to make it worth it. Developer's time costs money, if what the dev/devs is/are developing takes more time then the amount that the platform will give back to the company, which remember time costs money, then it's a net loss and therefore would be a bad idea. No one, in there right mind, does something that gives back absolutely nothing.
Everything gives back something.
Sometimes that give back is money, other times knowledge, other times recognition or building up a portfolio. It's a simple idea, Nothing in life is free, no matter if you gain or lose, there is something getting traded for an outcome.
(I used the same message for another platform post but fits here as well)
pranker mats
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo): the only thing the devs need to do is change input management (i use unity so i know how it works)
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo)
pranker mats: That still doesn't account for the amount of things they would have to do on top of just building the app for switch to make it up. one quick example is QA testing.
Bob Bobby
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo): I agree and I have something to add. even though the nintendo switch is a portable console, internet connection isn’t. The switch doesn’t have cellular or anything so I have no clue how people thought they were gonna go about playing it on the go, so I think it’s overall just a bad idea. On top of that, nintendo isn’t like other gaming companies. For the most part, you are supposed to play nintendo games on it.
Tony
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo): You don't know what a switch port will do. Also I do support Rec Room on Switch. It could have a positive or negative effect. Who knows. My point is that I want a switch port.
Tony
Bob Bobby: There are literal games on the switch that require internet to play (cough) fortnite...
Bob Bobby
Tony: Tony, I need you to understand that there is no point in adding it to switch. Some people may say it’s to play on the go, but you can’t. I know that some people only have a nintendo switch, but Rec Room obviously wasn’t their main concern in terms of games. If it was, they would be using an xbox or a vr headset, just something that can already play it.
Zigzag (@Zigzatuzoo)
Tony: You are completely right. I do not 100% know what a switch port will do. But I have a sneaking suspicion it wont be good. Think about the Quest. Yes it got a lot of people in VR but that included the single highest influx of children Rec Room and even VR as a whole has ever seen. The issue is that the majority of the player base on switch are either children who only have a switch or are people who already have another system and just play a couple select games on switch.
That's totally fine that you want a switch port. I am not trying to say your not allowed to have that opinion, I am trying to explain why this will do little good if any for the game as a whole.
