Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

This is why I stay in the middle. I like to hear what everyone says.

Now, I saw an early preview for Disney Dreamlight Vally and it looks kinda good. I might check it out if the early access hits Switch.

Somebody want to tell Nihon Falcom that the Switch needs Ys 1 and 2?

Thanks

Doesn't Switch have Ys 1 and 2 with Ys Origin?

@JaxonH Nope. Ys 1 & 2 ]haven't seen Switch ports, unfortunately.

There's a whole mess of old Ys games that'd be perfect for the platform.

I'd highly recommend Rayman Redemption in that case. It's a fan remake (well remake is an odd term since it looks and sounds the same as the original) that basically takes the original Rayman and fixes the problems it has and adds things to it and it was so good.

It's crazy seeing Monster Hunter Rise at over 11 million units, and the Sunbreak expansion at over 4 million units. And without releasing on PS/Xbox. That's incredible. Better yet, it's not done. It's still going as the expansion just dropped 2 months ago, and massive free title updates are scheduled all the way into next year.

My guess is, when the dust settles, MH Rise base game will crack 13 million sold, and Sunbreak will crack 5.5 million sold. It was never going to outperform World, but that's still about as good as one could have reasonably hoped for.

Definitely enough to ensure Switch 2 gets a brand new entry built ground up, with an even larger AAA budget next time. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

I haven't fired up the Japanese eshop in a minute, but I'm guessing Trinity Trigger doesn't support English? It's due for release on September 15th and even Nintendo Japan's release schedule doesn't have a page for the game. It's a tad worrying. Is this a game being sent out to die?

@Magician I wouldn’t say sent out to die. It just is Japan only. There may or may not be a western release date later. Granted if I am not mistaken they have a number of Japan only games on switch (going off of memory as my switch is not nearby) so it may not. But I suspect a delayed localization. Next year perhaps.

@Ryu_Niiyama Sure, I get that. But for a game that is getting a retail physical release and is less than a month away I'm surprised there has been little to no advertising for it, from either Nintendo or FuRyu. Nothing other than that beta feedback video from a couple weeks ago. I'm just curious regarding the game's lack of coverage on Nintendo's website.

As for English support, I assume either NIS America or Marvel will opt to release this in the west.

Another Sumikko Gurashi games by Nippon Columbia on Nintendo Switch ! 😆

@Magician I suppose I don’t understand what you mean. Are you living in Japan? There could be other avenues of marketing that (I am assuming) you aren’t considering. I don’t think the game is being sent out to die.

@Ryu_Niiyama No, I don't live in Japan. Although if I weren't a lazy person, I suppose you could say one of my dreams would be to learn to read, write, and speak Japanese and reside there as well. Sadly, I'm content with watching Japan Explorer videos and simply pretending I'm there. As for Trinity Trigger, I just feel that the marketing for the game has been lackluster, nothing more.

I'm certain that Switch will be the best selling system this holiday season. Switch has an insane software lineup approaching, PS5 is getting a price increase outside the US and Xbox still has big software lineup issues.

@Grumblevolcano
I have no doubt about it.
A brand new Pokémon always increases hardware sales as well.

More importantly, the cowabunga collection is upon us.

Splatoon 3 + Harvestella Treehouse in less than 40.

Who's ready?

check out the Nintendo Treehouse live focused on Splatoon 3 e Harvestella

I'm liking that Harvestella footage.

Splatoon 3 I already know will be fire just based on the last two entries. But Harvestella is a new IP, and I was curious what the ground level gameplay would be like.

So far I'm pleased with what I'm seeing.

Welp Harvestella is bumped up to day 1. Looks right up my alley.
