@Grumblevolcano I feel like Xenoblade X will be left out because it's not considered part of the mainline Xenoblade continuity, as far as we know. The music rocks, and honestly I'd love some Elma or Lin action, but that's that. And if we do get Definitive Edition music it'll be from Future Connected. If so expect the normal battle theme and the Fogbeast theme, both of which are just amazing, and'll fit right in.

Currently playing:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Persona 4 Golden
Dragon Quest XI S
F1 23
Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Nintendo is going to port as many games off the Wii U as humanly possible. No way is XCX staying exclusive.

WHERE IS MY FATAL FRAME PORT, NINTENDO?

Currently Playing: Yakuza Kiwami 2 (PC); Unicorn Overlord (NS)

@Socar In the case of Miitopia, I doubt it was the devs just so happen to want to do it. Nintendo likely reached out to them as an experienced porting house that have an extensive working relationship with Nintendo and offered the contract.

@TheJGG I always thought they could easily retcon XBX in with the others. Where some humans got away before Klaus destroyed Earth or also alternatively he didn't use the Artifact at all and resulted in the events of XBX.

Word round the campfire is that Iron Galaxy has something in the works, almost ready for announcement. Iron Galaxy worked on the Switch ports for TES: Skyrim, Overwatch, Diablo III, etc. Shoutout to Doctre81 on YT.

Will it be another high profile port or something new?

@jump

Doctre81's video points out the LinkedIn profile mentioning the game being for PS4, Xbone, and Switch. My assumption would be a port, since that's their modus operandi, but they have talked about their own internal IP for the longest time. And for all we know they could be self-publishing like Supergiant Games did with Hades.

@Magician They did the new Killer Instinct a few years ago. Is it definitely Switch related? If they were just guns for hire to do a port I would imagine the publisher would be making an announcement not themselves.

@Grumblevolcano The Pyra/Mythra showcase is a bit later than I would have liked, but I'm still looking forward to it. I'm pretty excited to play as them, XC2 is one of my favorite Switch games.

Persona 5 Strikers making an amazing showing in the Amazon charts. PS4 version currently #40, with Switch version #60. That’s an incredibly tight spread between the two versions, especially given the fact PS4 still has 40 million more units sold and the advantage of the main series fanbase being on that platform.

I’m proud of my Switch brethren. You guys are putting your money where your mouth is. Love it. I wonder what Atlus will think now seeing this kind of performance despite the disadvantages stacked against it. Combined with the Steam sales of P4G and the strong feedback requesting Switch in their survey, I think if they haven’t already started factoring Switch into their future plans, they will be soon enough. Persona Q2 this is not. We’re seeing real demand rivaling that of their target platform. Times... they are a changing.

Bravely Default currently at #21, with a surprisingly strong performance. Much more so than expected. This will only reinforce Square Enix support with games like Project Triangle Strategy, and follow ups in the Bravely Default series.

Also, Monster Hunter Rise has broken through the top 100 and is now officially starting its glorious ascent. It has begun.

It seems as if we’ve finally reached a point where most games perform well, consistently. Even Tony Hawk, for example, smashed into the top 100 on announcement, even now it’s still around #200, with PS5/SX around #2,000 and #5,000 respectively. I’ve also noticed a huge jump in NSW game performance in Japan. Third-party games in JP are now outselling the PlayStation versions pretty regularly.

It’s good to see because after Wii and Wii U, 3rd parties were pretty much out. They just weren’t interested. We knew it was going to take some pretty significant sales numbers over an extended period of time to see any meaningful change. It took EA a few years, but they’re finally getting on board. Took Activision a few years, but they’re finally getting on board. Took Take-Two a few years, but they’re finally getting on board. Took Capcom a few years, but they’re finally getting on board. And there’s still a lot of work to be done and developers to be swayed, but I think we’ve reached critical mass to where most developers just can’t afford to ignore the platform any longer. And that doesn’t mean every single game will come over or even every single game that could run, but it does mean support is better than it’s ever been and it’s only going to continue to improve. Hopefully, if Nintendo sticks with the hybrid concept long term and builds the Switch brand, that support will turn permanent.

@FragRed Well the game was made for the 3DS which had a different architecture so what else could they have done?

Either way, they need to bring in efforts for their legacy content. Its so far lackluster imo

After so long...I'm back. Don't ask why

@Socar I thought you were banned for life? lol

I mean Legacy content/ports is great & all but I'd rather have new games. Ninty just can't re-release their old stuff all the time otherwise they will run out of things to re-release. Even the SNES and NES things they like to sell on nostalgia are starting to wear thin as the audience are aging.

Now that Mario Golf is near the finish line Nintendo must be having Camelot work on a new Golden Sun.

Right?

RIGHT?!

@Magician I feel like Golden Sun is one of those series that Nintendo doesn't know what to do with.

As much as I love Golden Sun, it's pretty by-the-numbers as far as JRPGs go. At the time I'd say its strengths were in its quality as a handheld title, its puzzle elements, and its djinn system. But how would it stand out today? I guess we have Octopath and Dragon Quest XI as good models of how traditional RPGs can be modernized for today's audience...but are Nintendo/Camelot willing to make the investment?

Nintendo seems to have a pretty strange relationship with RPGs in general. Golden Sun hasn't seen an entry in over a decade, Paper Mario has gradually been losing its RPG elements over the years, it's unclear whether we'll see a new Mario and Luigi, and Xenoblade's success almost seems like a fluke.

@jump So have a dedicated team to port legacy games? There's nothing wrong for getting to play older games as long as people would want to play them. Most of them are too difficult to play normally and are more expensive than getting them from the shop. Newer games are important but being able to bring in older games are as important because its part of the company's history and brings in people who want to play them.

Also, are you the one with the professor layton hat?

@jump @timleon

Yup, knowing my luck, Camelot's next game be Mario Tennis Aces 2 rather a new Golden Sun.

@Magician it is weird Camelot have basically stopped making anything that is non Mario Sports now, it's over 10 years since the last Golden Sun and even then that was another 10 years since the previous Golden Sun. The director of the Golden Sun is the same one who does the other Mario sports games so I'm not sure why they stopped, maybe Mario just sells better.

Especially considering Camelot was Sega's Shining Force development team.

RPGs are their wheelhouse.
