@JaxonH DQ Builders is 911 MB on the PS4. And get this, only 268 MB on the Vita! Seems like Square did some optimising with this game, the Switch version included. A rare thing in the industry these days.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It's amazing how well the Switch sells, even with continuous shortages in that region.
Hopefully it doesn't take too long for Pokemon, Yokai Watch, and Dragon Quest to release on the Switch, and for supply to improve in Japan. You think THESE numbers are nuts...
Do they also celebrate a 'holiday season' this time of year in Japan? ..I know that Christmas is often seen as a crucial sales period in the West - just curious as to whether it's similarly/equally crucial over there? ..either way, those numbers are staggering!
@NaviAndMii christmas is a major romantic and sales holiday in Japan. They love Santa like the rest of us. For those hoping for religious reverence...I think like 1percent of Japan is christian...so yeah good luck with that. 3 of my closest Japanese (as in Native Japanese and moved to the US) buddies are christian but there is still a very obvious buddhist influence to all of them because that is how they were raised. Sorta like how I'm an atheist and I still crack religious in-jokes because I was raised southern baptist.
@JaxonH It is THQ so I'm cautiously optimistic. With them we will get the game 2 years late.

@Ryu_Niiyama I still find it funny in a delightful sort of way that Japan gets so into Christmas. I believe S. Korea does now, too. I imagine in both cases it was the influence of heavy US presence (occupation in Japan's case, and joint war/DMZ defense in Korea's) in the 50's & 60's that got them to get attached to the holiday.
Similarly I find it fun that Nintendo was the exclusive playing card producer for the Provisional Government for US occupying forces, a contract Struck by Yamauchi himself. So for the youngsters on the forums, even your great grandfather probably played Nintendo....albeit a little differently
@NEStalgia Well its a fun holiday and winter solstice is still important in a lot of cultures (your US occupation speculation is correct though) and its close enough to christmas to get lumped into the whole thing. Besides christmas is a mixture of actual christian/judeo/islamic themes, themes not from those religions (I refuse to call a religion pagan...your made up deity is as valid as somebody elses imo), and commercialism so if you look at it that way its not THAT farfetched. Like I said I'm an atheist and I still celebrate with my family as a family and peaceful holiday (I let them go to church alone....I've done my time) so I get why other cultures would adopt it as well. Its like other countries adopting black friday imo. No reason to do so....but they do it because the US makes a big deal out of it.
Anyhoo, I am wondering if this could be the start of a wonderful RTS and Simulation relationship with the switch. Plus with the gyro aiming you sorta have a mouse...or at least a wii pointer.

I think RTS would fit Metroid better and no worries about massive backlash as Samus Returns and Prime 4 exist unlike when Federation Force was announced and the franchise's future was unknown.
