RUMOR: DANGANRONPA V3 KILLING HARMONY MAY BE COMING TO SWITCH

https://nintendosoup.com/rumor-danganronpa-v3-killing-harmony...

Reportedly being published by NIS America, it'll be €60 and will release on 20th July.

Lol.. questioning if the new god of war is going to be good.. you would have to be blind, that game is going to be one of the best games this year.

They're not even after the same market? How are they "direct competition"?

Despite what Nintendo likes to put across, the Switch is definitely for the most part being advertised as competition to the PS4 and Xbox One.

I gathered that many Switch owners own it as a second console.

The kind of third party triple A titles Nintendo has tried to get onto the system is the same type of games the other systems have.

The Switch also has its own games, making it appeal to Xbox and Playstation and PC gamers.

So I think going up against God of War does matter, especially if Labo puts off potential Switch buyers for the kiddie image it represents.

Given that the Switch has outpaced most consoles in its first year, I doubt Nintendo has anything to worry about. I would dare say that the timing for Labo is smart given how the Switch is now selling like crazy.

And no, God of War does not matter.

Are people really saying Labo will fail because it will release at the same time as God of War? Wtf??
Labo appeals mostly to casuals, kids and "kids at heart" none of which care about GoW. And when thinking about which system to buy most people won't care about GoW (as in most people who care about it already own a PS4) but Labo is something completely new that might grab the attention of people to the Switch.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Danganronpa would be AMAZING to have on the Switch. Too bad I've already purchased V3, but I'd absolutely buy any subsequent games going forward on the system.

Well it seems on Amazon UK at least that buying Nintendo Labo and Shadow of the Colossus at the same time is a popular choice so maybe you have PS4 owners wanting to buy a Switch because of Labo.

I don't think so. Labo+Switch would be too much expensive for new customers that were not already interested in Nintendo consoles. And there are already many different toys made with materials like cardboard or wood or things like that. Labo will probably be a good investment for people that alreeady have a Switch and have young children and maybe are really into Nintendo or at least gaming in general and like to see their children play with the same things that they are passionate about as much as possible so Labo will be just another excuse to do so.

Nekopara coming to PS4, Switch

Nekopara is coming to PlayStation 4 and Switch in Q2 and Q3 2018 in Japan, developer Neko Works announced at Taipei Game Show 2018. The comedic visual novel sees the protagonist open a Japanese confectionery alongside two cat girls. It is currently available on PC in English across four volumes.

Labo+Switch would be too much expensive for new customers that were not already interested in Nintendo consoles

Gonna disagree. LABO + Switch is no more expensive than Zelda + Switch or Mario + Switch. A console sells over multiple years by constantly making new people interested in it via different games. This is one of them. Some people were interested because Zelda. Some were interested because Splatoon. Some were interested because Mario. And likewise, some will be interested because LABO.

Anyone who deems it too expensive isn't a potential customer of video games in the first place.

All games sell consoles. But only a few are so high profile it makes a difference in the sales charts. Labo won't sell switches on its own, it isn't like super Mario, Mario kart, Zelda or Pokemon in that regard.

But labo might be a good complement for switch owners with kids instead of buying other toys. The price isn't that bad compared with other toys such as Lego.

And no, God of war won't destroy labo. There is basically no overlap in the audiences for those games.

Wii Fit sold Wii consoles though and the combined price of the Wii and Wii Fit was more than Switch + Labo back then.

Okay, there was some trailer for it (Direct Mini maybe? Don't feel like rewatching that, lol), what was that rhythm dungeon crawling game that was recently shown for the Switch? Any music/rhythm game that allows you to use your own MP3s automatically interests me. I haven't played many of those since Audiosurf, though.

@Joeynator3000 Crypt of the Necrodancer. It looks crazy and it shouldn't work but apparently it does and it's amazing.

@Grumblevolcano Where did you buy your Wii package? Wii was £170 or less when I bought it (admittedly not at launch), and Wii Fit with balance board was only £80.

Didn't know you could integrate your own tunes on this - will that be the same for Switch version?

Yup, that's it, coolz. xp
So this is an actual new game right? (and it is coming to the Switch, I'm starting to think I saw it elsewhere, lol)

@Joeynator3000 Well, it's been on Steam a while...

Ok yeah there's a Switch version, I'm not going crazy, lol

I really hope this is still a thing, I figured they would take that "Use your own MP3s" part out for the Switch announcement. Then again other games that normally let you import (Worms, for example) usually removes the feature for consoles. T.T

@AnimeGamerFan Nice. What games you getting??
