@Wichtel Are these good numbers for a country like Germany?

@FragRed I agree with Tsurii. Numbers are good for germany i think.
The 100k Switches don't really say that much, since it was the first month. It was still difficult to find them in stores, so the demand was propably higher.

With NBA 2K18 save file being 3GB in size, Nintendo really do need to introduce save files to SD card.

I Wonder how big DOOM will take for the MP download. Im using a 64GB card i found laying around for now...

Looks like NBA 2K18 uses an 8GB Switch cartridge:
Initial download = 6.8GB
Software update = 16.1GB
Save file = 5GB each

So my 64GB card might be too small for DOOM; Even if i buy it physical? OMG!

@Grumblevolcano 8GB eh? Sounds to me like they've skimped quite a bit then...

The NBA2K devs really cheaped out. Compare with DOOM: just the main game, sans MP updates, is 45+ GB on PS4. So it's not unreasonable to think that they're using higher capacity cards to store just the single-player content.

I really, really hope people reward Bethesda for the amazing effort they appear to be putting into this port.

I'll make sure I personally award them with my "Best Supporting Third Party on Switch" award later this year.

@Ralizah Agreed on that one.

@Octane Is that, a heap of sarcasm I detect there?

@UmniKnight I can't guarantee a statue or a medal, but a forum post will also be sufficient I think!

@Octane I'm sure they'll be honoured

Thank you Bethesda!

Done, now I don't have to remember to do it later.

Good thing to note about DOOM: http://nintendoeverything.com/bethesda-says-doom-is-custom-bu...

So basically, third-parties can adjust multiplats to Switch, but it requires custom-building. An admirable effort to say the least.

The replies to this tweet are very salty.

@Grumblevolcano I don't see the big deal, honestly. There's plenty of time for a Animal Crossing game to come to the Switch, and the last game was only 5 years ago. Compare that to Metroid and F-Zero.

Not sure where else to put this, but I found it in my switch's news section, its japan exclusive and probably going to stay that way unless a sudden demand springs out.

Its called Joysound, and its apparently some sort of karaoke app? The trailer in the Switch's news feature made it seem like there's some sort of leaderboards and exclusive Nintendo music for this version.

Also there are Champion Jockey Special, Winning Post 8: 2017, and another trailer for Monster Hunter XX. The first two are horse racing games from Koei Tecmo, if anyone's interested.

@crystalorbie There's a version on Wii U that came to both Japan and Europe.

Yeah, I can wait on a new Animal Crossing. AC is the type of game that can last you pretty much forever so it's not like we need a new one that often. Plus, I'm hoping that an AC on Switch will he pretty large and even more in-depth.

Ah, ok. I'd searched a little bit but the PS4 version seemed to be japan exclusive as well, so I guess I've assumed too soon. For now though I haven't heard about other regions for this one. (though if I'm wrong so be it)
