@TomSupreme Right but if i’m getting a switch 2 anyway might as well get it on switch 2, because it does perform better on switch 2

So excited for this game but I think i’ll wait till I have switch 2 for the performance aspects

I’m so happy we’re getting/got super mario rpg and tyd but I would love for the mario and luigi games to make a return

@Woodyshoe No hate but that’s such a dramatic statement 💀 we’ll see though

@larryisaman My guess was they were hoping the Switch’s momentum would boost the sales of the franchise similar to Fire Emblem, Pikmin and Metroid but an M rated action game is difficult to sell to people who aren’t already fans of the franchise. Like you said, 1 millions pretty decent. If they keep publishing xenoblade games at similar sales surely Bayonetta can survive for awhile. I can only assume Bayo has have the budget as xenoblade haha

@Woodyshoe @Woodyshoe Three has sold over one million copies which is a little less than 2. If you include the Wii U’s sales of 2 it definitely has more.

That being said, Origins was released to die. Even I haven’t played it as a huge bayo fan. It’s simply a game no one asked for and so different from the main line series. I’m hoping Nintendo will publish at least 1 more bayo game because 3’s ending didn’t sit right with me.

These numbers are still super strong for the switch’s 6th year on the market (soon to be seventh) genuinely curious if this will affect Nintendo’s console release strategy supposedly next year?

@Sisilly_G I know I know I know I kicked myself in the foot about spending $60 but let me explain. My thought process was “Oh, this is a somewhat older pokémon game being remade, and it still has the nostalgic top down overview that I loved from the red/blue/green games” I did think the graphics were a bit lazy but it felt like the perfect opportunity to hop back into the franchise. Boy was I wrong. Unfortunately the newer games and their styles just haven’t really appealed to me much, including arceus. But I have a 3ds so i’m considering looking more into those titles!

@ChromaticDracula I’ll have to consider sun/moon since I do have a 3ds! Would you recommend the advance versions?

I really wish I could get into Pokemon. I loved playing pokémon red/blue/green when I was 7, didn’t play any pokémon games after that until the diamond and pearl “remakes” which were beyond disappointing for me. It’s just so sad when you see a franchise with so much potential, especially when other nintendo headliners are cranking it up to an 11. Maybe one day the Pokemon company will stop being so greedy and give the players what the deserve, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

Anyways, interesting article!

Playable Rosalina 🫰

This game looks spectacular! But as the switch approaches it’s 6th year on the market, and next gen consoles show off their power, I wonder how much longer the switch can keep up. Obviously gameplay should take preference over performance and graphics, but it would still be nice to see Nintendo games on the same level of PS5 and XSX

Wind Walker HD and Twilight Princess HD would be amazing editions as well, and they’d be so cheap and easy for Nintendo… like you’re simply missing out on profit 😩

They’re keeping Paulina in there 👀

Bummer. I was really hoping it’d pull through for that December slot. That’s okay though, as long as they’re fixing all of the perceived issues!

@Xiovanni

Yes the third best selling Sony exclusive of all time 🤦‍♂️🙄 Get outta here

These are the games I look to when people say certain games can’t/don’t run well on Switch.

Now before you call me ignorant, I understand that some games will never be able to run on Switch because of the way they are made, but when I argue with people about this topic, it’s usually about games like Outer Worlds, for example.

It amazes me how well Ring Fit Adventure is doing!! Also, can’t wait to see the total sale figures of ACNH by the end of the year...

I know some people are turned off by the art style and bug theme but this game is the definition of a spiritual successor. It has really great writing and the gameplay becomes surprisingly deep and strategic, sometimes even more so than other mario rpgs. If you are privileged enough to help the devs out, might as well. It could lead to future installments in the style of franchises we may never see the same way again. (This is just my opinion of course)

I’m so excited to relive this experience! Such an amazing game, please play it if you can 😊

@edgedino Agreed 🙃

Surprise announcements are cool but there’s just truly something magical about Nintendo Directs that surprise announcements don’t quite have.

Okay so bring over the new trilogy please? 🥺

Is it really fair to count Wii Sports?

Yes please come to the west 😩

Hi Nintendo, could we please get bluetooth support? 😩

@Scollurio

Please delete your comment.

My brother was explaining to me that Dragon Quest 11 still opened better in Japan at 2 million. This is true, but that was across Ps4 and 3ds. 1.1m and 900k respectively. With that being said, imagine Animal Crossing being multi-platform.

A 3D Kirby game would be awesome

Honestly 2019 was a pretty solid year for Nintendo... Other than Pokemon 🤭

i’ve always wanted this as a kid

Animal Crossing will dominate March, and most likely be present in the upcoming months as well. It’s digital sales are huge.

Will the toxic part of the fandom be satisfied with a port of ultimate for every new console gen?

Remember, there’s people who believe this is still a port of Smash 4

We don’t deserve Joe 😭

@bmumble @Chunkboi79 @GhostGeneration @Kirby_Girl @Deliesh @Adam @readalie @Agramonte @tricksterdoom @PickledKong64 @0muros @JasmineDragon

Thanks for all of the wonderful replies and opinions! Hopefully I’ll get around to playing all of them someday but based on everyone’s info, I think i’m leaning towards hollow knight!

I’ve always been interested in Dead Cells, Shovel Knight, and hallow knight. Are they worth it? If so, which is the best?

Well that first one certainly aged well...

Too bad they would have the $60 switch tax when you can find most of them on other platforms for half the price

Tomb Raider trilogy please 😊

Definitely Fire Emblem Three Houses for me!

I always enjoyed coming to nintendo life each week to see if my favorite titles were selling well. This is quite disappointing. I’m not sure why they want to put sales figures behind a paid wall. I can’t imagine very many people have much of a desire to pay for such things but maybe I’m wrong.

Praying my boy Piranha gets in 🤞

Female Robin where?

What’s the actual number though??

I truly admire Nintendo for rescheduling the direct. Unfortunately a few announcements seemed to have been leaked but I think it’s worth it out of respect for Japan.

Doom Eternal?

But why not the remaster?!

I’d buy it if it’s a good port
