Didn’t realize that DQX:O is going to add version two next year. I wonder if they will do an expansion a year. I’m hoping for two a year now that the base game is out but I am cool with the content as is.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Direct is the only presentation this week that stuck. Like no one talks about the games in the State of Play anymore because it's all about the public argument between Jim Ryan and Phil Spencer about the future of CoD instead.
Remember how Persona 5 Royal was in the Japanese Direct but not the English one for whatever reason? Just to make things even weirder, an English trailer's just been posted there.
I think the thing that impresses me the most about this trailer is how similar it looks to the PS4 version. Yeah, P5 is by all definitions a PS3 game at it's base level but Royal is still made specifically for PS4 so to see it looking damn near identical across both is really damn cool.
Also, I'm not sure whether it was already confirmed for October 21st but just in case it wasn't: here you go.

Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core: Reunion on Switch is apparently runs at full 60fps and native 720p in handheld, with only slight dynamic res drops that can't even be noticed outside of cutscenes.
We had a chance to play both the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game during our recent trip to Square Enix’s pre-Tokyo Games Show press event. While the PlayStation 5 version certainly ran well - it looks to be 4K60 - what’s far more interesting is the state of the Nintendo Switch release. It retains most of the graphical enhancements of the full PlayStation 5 release, maintains a smooth 60 FPS, and targets 720p in handheld mode. Even with dips, it still never drops to a low enough resolution to be noticeable outside of cutscenes.

@Fizza I'm looking forward to launch. Persona wasn't on my radar until I liked what I had played of Tokyo Mirage Sessions on Wii U and people described that game as "Persona with Fire Emblem characters". Then Joker came to Smash, TMS got ported to Switch and now finally Persona 5 Royal is coming to Switch next month.
@Grumblevolcano
Persona 5 Royal is way better than TMS#FE so if you liked that game, you'll definitely love Persona
2 series I hope Nintendo fans go out and support.
Persona 5 Royal
After many years of begging for this game to come to Switch, it's finally at the door. Time to put your money where your mouth is and show Atlus why this series should not be PS exclusive going forward.
Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core
After nearly 6 years, we're finally getting a modernized Final Fantasy with visuals pushing the boundary of what Switch can offer. If you're tired of this series being moneyhatted and held hostage by Sony, step up to the plate and make this a multi-million seller. The better it does, the more expensive it will be for Sony to bribe away from us in the future, and the more likely SE will decline due to stifling brand growth
Could also add Nier Automata in there too, but priority is Persona and Final Fantasy.

The switch may be underpowered compared to the others but it certainly can run almost anything as long as devs aren’t lazy. The cloud versions of the RE and KH shows us just that.
@GameOtaku
Ya, I'm convinced KH being cloud was not a result of technological barriers, but rather, lack of ROI.
To port that many games over in a single collection for $60 probably just wasn't financially viable. For other platforms they released them piecemeal first for $60 each (KH 1.5, then KH 2.5, then KH 2.8, then KH 3, then KH 3 DLC, then Story So Far). So they milked the heck out of them by the time they combined all into one. And combining all into one was easy because the games were already on the system.
For Switch, ppl would expect everything in 1 package for $60, because that's what's on offer elsewhere. But because of the time and expense of porting, it's not worth it unless they sell them as individual collections first, and gamers won't stand for that. So they said screw it, we'll just do cloud then.
Personally, I'd pay for individual collections all day if it meant getting them natively. Not that I've ever been a big KH fan because, well, I'm just not. But at the very least I would have grabbed them for posterity's sake.

@JaxonH
ROI on switch ports would’ve been high in my opinion to more than justify native ports. Highest selling console combined with a much requested port seems so simple (and clean).
Which makes Nier odd that it’s being ported natively, full physical and for a good price.
Can we just talk about how jam packed Q1 2023 is going to be for gaming? There's a TON of games scheduled to release not just for Switch but in general, and I honestly don't think very many of them will see a delay either.
Q1 2023 releases:
Fire Emblem Engage
Forspoken
Dead Space Remake
Dead Island 2
Hogwarts Legacy
Like a Dragon Ishin
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line
Atelier Ryza 3
Octopath Traveler II
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe
Tales of Symphonia Remastered
Fatal Frame 4
Resident Evil 4 Remake
That's a LOT, and that's just Q1. Then there's all the other titles slated for the 1st half of the year:
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Starfield
Redfall
Forza Motorsport
Minecraft Legends
Wo Long: The Fallen Dynasty
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection
Persona 4 Golden
Persona 3 Portable
Layers of Fears
Obviously there will be some delays (coughStarfieldcough), but that first half is looking really good.
Welp Nintendo released the direct compilation image. RIP my budget.

@GameOtaku
I don't doubt it could have made a notable return on investment, but business always focuses on maximizing ROI. So, maybe they could have seen a 4x ROI on KH. Not too shabby given it would require porting like a dozen games to the system. However, utilizing those resources elsewhere and porting say, 5 different games to multiple platforms, they could see a 20X ROI. So the largest projected ROI wins the bid.
Even so, if they were to contract it out to another studio so it doesn't tie up their own limited resources, then it could be a viable option regardless. Unless, of course, there's limited porting studios with the experience and pedigree to make quality Switch ports (which, we know earlier in Switch's lifespan this was definitely the case, as Panic Button became inundated with port requests as there was far more demand for capable Switch porting studios than there was supply), in which case the same principle would apply. Why pay to have Studio A port a dozen KH games for 4X return when they could have Studio A port 5 other quality games and see a 20X return instead.
At the end of the day, we'll never know. We can only speculate. But they did opt for cloud, and I think that speaks volumes. If their net profit projections warranted a native port, and they had the resources to do it or contract it out, I think they would have done it. Companies don't make decisions for no reason. I'm quite sure many corporate meetings were held regarding the pros and cons of native vs cloud.

I’m still holding out hope for a native port. An article on this site had an interview with the dev and said a port wasn’t off the table if demand was there.
