@JaxonH nice and this DLC/expansions for this games you mentioned feel like you are playing a game, the Torna expansion can be coinsidered a game given how much content this expansion have, the same apply to Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak.

i like HD Rumble.

I'd be interested in seeing battery life consumption with Dragon Quest Builders 2.

I swear no game pushes the Switch's performance harder.

DON'T DO THIS TO ME CAPCOM.

I don't think I can quantify how desperately I have wanted to play Ghost Trick. Ever since I learned of the game's existence about 3-4 years ago, I've been utterly fascinated with it, between the character designs, premise and gameplay but have never, ever had the chance to play it besides an IOS port that I've stayed away from since I'd much rather experience it on a proper console. So if this ends up turning into a console port, remaster or even REMAKE!? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

@JaxonH intereting i have 4h44 of playtime of Bayonetta 3 on my Switch(extended battery Switch(Switch V2)is theres any reason for Switch OLED to give you 5H playtime to Bayonetta 3, since this game push the hardware to it limit and where do you get this information that information?(games like Bayonetta 3 have better battery life on Switch OLED, does this information also apply to game like Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild? i curious about this).

Ghost Trick is awesome. I don't think I have interesting things to say but more people should play Ghost Trick. Any chance for more people to buy Ghost Trick is good.

Part of my beloved trio of 2011 DS games more people should have bought since they were probably better than every 3DS game that year. (along with Okamiden and Radiant Historia)

I wish I was around for mid 2000's/early 2010's Capcom. I don't think we've had a better era of Capcom than we have now (where every single game they make seems to be a banger) but man....I do miss the sheer overabundance of creativity from way back when. An adventure game heavily themed around historical Japanese artwork with stylus mechanics before the stylus? Sure! A beat-em-up where you scroll through a movie reel? Why not! A game where you are literally just a lawyer? SEND IT RIGHT THE F*** THROUGH!

There were certainly a lot more misses than with modern day Capcom (the exisiting stuff that was around from the 80's/90's weren't exactly dealt the best hand), but I'd love to see that creativity come back in some way, shape or form in today's day and age.

@Giancarlothomaz
Source is YouTube videos showing live battery tests side by side with a stopwatch timer.

The reason OLED gets so much better battery life is due to how OLED technology works. With LCD, the screen has lights behind colored pixels which illuminate the pixels as red, green and blue. There's a shutter that closes off the pixels as needed to create different images and lighting. But the backlight is constantly on.

With OLED, there is no need for a backlight because the individual pixels self-illuminate. Which means, when pixels aren't needed they can simply turn off, conserving energy. This is why OLED blacks are pure black and not washed out grey like LCD. Because with LCD, the backlight is still on and light bleed makes the shuttered pixels not look pure black. But with OLED, they're pure black. There is no backlight, which means no light bleed. This also means energy conservation as the black areas of the screen aren't illuminated.

So games that have a lot of dark areas which use less illumination, and lots of black areas which require no illumination, those games will see less energy used vs LCD, and thus the battery will last longer.

For games that are super colorful and have little to no dark or black areas, the battery life will be essentially the same, maybe even a bit worse in some cases. But those instances are relatively rare. Most games get longer battery life on the OLED, anywhere from 10-15 minutes extra to 2 hrs extra, depending.

I thought this day would never come. It got a physical release on Wii U but, being PAL and Wii U being region locked, it was a no-go.

Thankfully, nearly 6 years after the Switch release, it finally got a physical release... and a steelbook case! And this time, Switch is region free.

@Eagly It's Gameloft we'll probably need to pay for the ending.

Q: Please tell us how you evaluate the situation of new titles released in Q2.

A: Although “Soul Hackers 2” is currently struggling to reach the expected sales level, we believe that it is a title that can be sold over the long term, so we will continue to update the game in the future with the aim to expand sales.

As we all likely suspected, Soul Hackers 2 appears to be a flop, despite releasing on everything but the Switch.

Who could have imagined that snubbing your primary console demographic would end poorly?

@Ralizah
They literally tried selling the game to every platform except the one where the SMT community is.

Sega, along with many other big publishers nowadays, thinks PS/Xbox/PC is indescriminantly the ultimate answer to everything. They're finding out how wrong that is.

The landscape has evolved. This isn't the Wii U era anymore.

I looked at a copy of soul hackers 2 yesterday and I felt so disappointed. All I could think was, if this was on switch I would buy it. I still haven't gotten my TV out of storage so what very little gaming I can do is switch only. Even if they had done a digital only option...options are great.

@JaxonH @Ralizah Yeah, that's a bummer.

But I wouldn't say Sega are particularly biased towards PC/Xbox/PS these days. If anything, they're just annoyingly inconsistent. Like...they make the effort to put the new, ambitious, open-world Sonic game on the weaker Switch (something that they wouldn't have done in the 360/PS3/Wii generation), which I really appreciate. But Atlus releases in particular have been all over the place (some skipping Switch, some skipping Xbox, some PC...).

And then you have the Yakuza director outright denying the series' place on the Switch on multiple occasions.

At least the multiplatform releases of Persona 5, 4 and 3 are a step in the right direction. Let's hope Sega learn from this.

The sad thing is that Soul Hackers 2 has probably missed its chance to do well on the Switch. If it ever comes, it will have to compete with its more well-received brethren in SMT V, Persona 5, Persona 4, Persona 3, TMS #FE...

Isn't the PS4/XBone port of SH2 kind of rough?

Might be one of the few Atlus games where I don't mind it skipping the Switch.
