@Octane No, no. I'm talking about actual Nintendo published videos for the Switch. I'll need to go back and check but I think it was included in the January Japanese Switch presentation? I'm hazy on the order of these things but seem to recall it being shown as part of a sizzle reel of upcoming games within that presentation and possibly even within a Direct-style video Nintendo put out soon afterwards.
Essentially, I'm reflecting on the fact. I've seen this game being promoted as a Nintendo Switch game by Nintendo as early as early 2017. I had then heard nothing and assumed it was already released in maybe Japan.
Just surprised that a game announced for Switch so early, has yet to come out on that system in any territory.
Weren't those DRAGON QUEST HEROES games also supposed to be coming to Nintendo Switch? I had the Japanese Demo since launch but can't recall seeing this game on the European eShop? Japan only most likely.
@Lroy If you can find that, I take my words back, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't part of an official video by Nintendo. IIRC, it wasn't properly confirmed for Switch until this year. Nintendo certainly wouldn't include a game that wasn't confirmed yet, let alone use PC or PS4 footage of said game in their Direct.
@YummyHappyPills Yes, at that January 2017 Japanese Presentation they definitely had the logos for DQ X and DQ XI as well as DQ HEROES 1 & 2 and said they were all in development and coming to Nintendo Switch. I think there may have even been a DRAGON QUEST specific Japanese event as early as November 2016 with a panel showing DRAGON QUEST XI and playing it on a projector in front of a studio audience.
EDIT: Actually, had a quick look at the Presentation and they included footage of DQ HEROES in the sizzle reel of games at that Japan Presentation in January. Like I said, I'm not familiar with the DQ series so perhaps I confused that imagery with that of DQXI. But still have a nagging sense I did see that guy riding his horse in a Nintendo Direct or promo video at some stage, lol! Old age though, so who knows, ha! ha!
@subpopz Some people are just VERY sour about Nintendo doing well, and I'm not sure even they know why.
I'm surprised she didn't pull out the "but 30fps" card on Dark Souls Remastered. Because, you know, this game that was designed to run on previous gen consoles at 30fps (often missing that mark) is somehow gimped and a terrible experience on Switch, even though it's objectively superior to last gen consoles in terms of framerate stability.
Just got an email from Marvelous (I subscribe to them) Senran Kagura Shinobi Refle will be released in english under the name Senran Kagura Reflextons.
Personaly I allready has the Japanese release, but cool for those who wanted it in English.
@subpopz If I can put my tin foil hat on for a minute, I do sometimes think that game stores have a Nintendo 3rd policy. It sounds ridiculous I know, but it always seem like when I go to GameStop they ask “So, are you looking for PlayStation or Xbox games today?” Don’t get me wrong, I think these are truly nice people, but they do seem to ignore Nintendo. Also the Nintendo Switch section is super tiny compared to even the WII U section. This could just be that one GameStop though.
Just a geek that likes video games, and spends to much time playing Smash Bros. and Fortnite.

@TheTetrisGuy It does vary from store to store. My local GameStop that I favor has the Nintendo section when you enter, and the Sony section highly visible past it, and XBox is basically in the back and not visible unless you're looking for it. Most of the workers there seem to be Nintendo and Sony gamers as well. But other stores I've been to (usually while traveling across the country) definitely have Nintendo in that third spot instead of XBox
@Ralizah Holy Moses, I forgot about Hollow Knight. DEFINITELY double-dipping on that game. It was a slow-burn, which was surprising for a Metroidvania since I love that genre of games, but man that game is so superb.
Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill

Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
So I guess this is Nintendo's plan for Switch, the first half of a year being on the less busy side to allow people to catch up with the last year's holiday games and then the second half of the year being very packed. Like this year July is looking like Nintendo's version of the September PS4 lineup and we haven't even reached E3 yet.
