Initially Announced For Wii U, Survival Horror 'Forgotten Memories' Is Finally Coming To Switch

Wow, it looks very good! I wonder how it will run on Switch, though... It's probably safer to wait for the Switch 2 version on this one.

Creepy mannequins and dolls?
NO THANK YOU

Think it's safe to say most of us had forgotten about this game. I certainly don't have any memories about it.

Anyway, dunno if I'll ever really pick this up, honestly. I'm not too keen on the psychological side of horror. I rather have the in your face kind, like walkers. Yes I call them that, bite me.

Never heard of this one but yikes! It looks disturbing and worth playing on a dark October night! The setting reminds me of some creepy Japanese B-movie I watched years ago (except for the wisecracking American policewoman).

If it ever gets a physical edition, I’m interested.

Looks excellent. A decent review and I’ll grab it.

…is it a remaster if the original game never came out?

Edit: On Wii U, at least? I completely missed the fact it had a mobile release on my first skim of the article!

Three things in life are inevitable: death, taxes, and Wii U ports on Switch.

Gonna wait for the Wii U version.

@dskatter It came out on mobile originally.

This is being re-released on phones and also Switch, but not any other home consoles. 🤔 Interesting choice.

It’s also kind of surprising to see a game like this announced and released in the same month.

I get some minor Eternal Darkness vibes from this game.

Have no recollection of this game but it looks like it good be a good time at the right price point

@TotalHenshin Ahh, I completely missed that on my first readthru of the article. That’ll teach me to read things just after waking up!

I'm not interested in it now, but if it released on Wii U 10 years ago i would probably have owned it.

@Yojimbo same. I'm hoping it has an amiibo bundled with the game.

I am confused, 4k resolution...Switch cannot do that so why is this game advertising that when I didn't see a Steam version only Switch and Google Play store. Is the 4k only on Android maybe?

I'm usually not into horror games, aside from having played both Little Nightmares (which were both disappointing in their own ways, imo), but I do enjoy a change of pace once in a while, and the vibe of the trailer tells me ... maybe, why not. Just completely unclear about the gameplay. Will check out the reviews and a physical version. Coming from mobile though tells me it will most likely be boring ... wait and see.

Unreleased Wii U indie? I'm in!

@Diaclone_Dad On this video on the developer's channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=351KrPtoDb0
someone else also asked about 4k resolution, to which the developer replied:

'4K resolution is for devices that support UHD resolutions. Switch max resolution is 1080p and it runs at such resolution perfectly fine. Nothing got downgraded on the Switch, except the resolution which is limited to 1080p.'

A bit further down in the comments, he provides more technical details (I barely understood any of it but am quoting it here for people who do):

'We can independently render the scene at 4K and then downscale to the frame buffer size of Switch (which is 1080p and 720p). That technique is called SMAA and it was one of the very first AA technique we tried but we are not doing that we opted other cheaper ways of doing AA.

As for the 4K Resolution, keep in mind this is a Mobile + Switch trailer. What we meant in the video by 4K is just "for devices that support UHD resolutions" such as latest mobile hardware. On Nintendo Switch we are doing FHD rendering. Nothing got downgraded, except for the resolution wich we are limited to 1080p. Hope it makes sense'

He also mentions eventually releasing this on PC and other consoles as well.

@dskatter Lol no worries. I’ve definitely made the same mistake.

I couldn’t help but think of the Resident Evil 4 Beta when I watched this trailer. (Killer dolls, ghostly shadow hunter aesthetic, etc)

Looks great though. Will keep my eyes on this one.

Considering it was made with the Wii U in mind, my guess is that it should run good on Switch since Switch is two times more powerful than the Wii U.

Look really good
But need physical version please 🙏

I misread Shadow of Memories and then realized my mistake and was incredibly disappointed.

Looks cool though.

I remember seeing this mobile game back in 2015, can't remember if it was considered any good or not.

I also wasn't aware until now that it was initially promised a Wii U port lol.

I remember seeing this in an ONM article about upcoming Wii U indie games over a decade ago. Not my thing, but it's cool to see it finally come to a Nintendo console after all these years.

I'll need a review. But looks a bit like my kinda thang.

Fair enough. I mean Umbra came out and while no Wii Balance Board support (remember that article) and US eshop only it pushed the Wii/Wii U aspects and that series has fair ideas in it of 3DS or other entries.

For a more normal horror game to come to Switch sure but I will always see Umbra and go wow.... in comparison.

Will file it at the "grab it if priced right" category

Looks good for spooky season. A shame the Wii U had so many cancelled projects. I still wish I could have played Alien Colonial Marines on my U just to see how it ran.

I'm maybe halfway through Silent Hill 2 remake and I've had about as much of mannequin enemies as I could take! TRIGGERED!
I think I will just stick with my Silent Hill 2, but maybe on a sale I'll get this. It really does look pretty solid!
