Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

They make a lot of anime and shovelware so I’d say they’re indie. Indie is mostly shovelware.

Blasphemy.

A Level-5 developed game is not shovelware.

I swear where's the mod? This guy is clearly malicious :v

It's like different people have different preferences when it comes to media, including games. This is CLEARLY a travesty. We must initialize all Sameness based off of one person's ideals at once!

GET TO THE CHOPPA!

@SuperSpaghetti
If anime games make you indie, Bandai Namco, a company that makes tens of millions of dollars every year, must also be indie because they make anime games too.

I guess that would also makes Nintendo an indie company too since they make Fire Emblem. LOL

Alright, I've seen enough.

@redd214 I'll do what I can.

@Octane you're doing great, thank you I know it's a lot but we appreciate you!!

I may break my embargo to buy it. I loved the japanese demo, so I know I want it...but my budget hng!

@Octane - thanks for that. It's an ugly scene seeing someone so judgemental.

Looks like Smash is helping at least in the UK, Fire Emblem Three Houses has re-entered the eshop charts.

New costumes for Ultimate Alliance 3 out now.

not sure if this has been mentioned already.

@Ryu_Niiyama Don't think it has? Gwenom and Miles Morales streetwear were definitely two of the ones I was hoping would show up, so that's nice to see. Not really a fan of that Anti-Venom design (comics or here) though, would have preferred Agent (Anti-)Venom. Guess that means the other 3 costumes they accidentally leaked will be coming probably next month? All in all I've been impressed by the sheer breadth of costumes they've pulled, while also managing to get most of the best looking ones.

Nintendo's quarterly results are in!

As of the end of 2019, the Switch has sold 52.48 million units. Insanity.

Pokemon Sword/Shield sold 16.06 million units!!!!

MUA3 and Astral Chain both sold over 1 million LTD

Here are more of the games highlights. I hope FE breaks 5mil by end of the Switch lifecycle. Astral chain and marvel look good for being niche releases.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 22.96 million
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – 17.68 million
Super Mario Odyssey – 16.59 million
Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 16.34 million
Pokemon Sword/Shield – 16.06 million
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee – 11.76 million
Splatoon 2 – 9.81 million
Super Mario Party – 9.12 million
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe – 5.85 million
Luigi’s Mansion 3 – 5.37 million
Super Mario Maker 2 – 5.04 million
Zelda: Link’s Awakening – 4.19 million
Fire Emblem: Three Houses – 2.58 million
Ring Fit Adventure – 2.17 million
Astral Chain – 1.03 million
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 – 1.02 million

What about ARMS sales so far ?

16 million sales on a 10 million budget is impressive.

Don't sue me, I'm part of the problem.

Hard to say. More than 2m have sold (as reported back in December 2018) but fewer than 5m since it isn't in Nintendo's list of top ten best selling games.

The SNES controller for Switch is back in stock, at least for NA. Finally was able to grab one!
