Interesting, to say the least. Main character seems a bit too cocky for mass consumption - and Platinum being entrusted with five (!) titles at once is worrying - but it would be nice to see Kamiya-san's vision finally come to light. Either way, I'm taking this with a grain of salt until Nintendo confirms it.
@ddowler85 Intriguing, but it'd need a graphical overhaul for sure if they want it to sell. For comparison's sake, this footage is running on Xbox One, far more powerful than the Switch. It's... less than desirable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnwv_vv7uNg
@graysoncharles It could, but they'd need to put in a lot of work optimizing it for Switch. And considering the fact that more graphically intense games (e.g. AC Odyssey and RDR 2) consistent outperform both on new and old 8th-gen consoles... from a technical viewpoint, KH3 on Switch unoptimized would be a dumpster fire.
@aaronsullivan I'm aware of all this, but I just don't want Legendary to count their chickens before they hatch. DP looks great, however... and as long as they can remember that self-contained stories come first (i.e. no cliffhanger endings), then they'll be looking at a new franchise in no time.
@blackbox64 Why not both? Nintendo probably has enough cash to successfully pull a Sega. I can see it now: Zelda proper on PC/Xbox/PlayStation, more Dragalia Lost on smartphones. Makes sense to me.
Although, considering the Switch is already a departure from home consoles, it probably just means Nintendo will go all-in on hybrids in the future. I am OK with this.

Re: UK Charts: Smash Bros. Ultimate Returns To Top Ten But EA's Anthem Takes Top Prize
Based on what I've seen of Anthem, I wouldn't be surprised if people hate it and want a refund.

Re: Game Developer Survey Shows That Nearly Half Of Devs Are Most Interested In The Switch
This indie, AAA, or both? Local to one specific region (e.g. US only) or worldwide? Just trying to pin down what to expect...
Re: Game Developer Survey Shows That Nearly Half Of Devs Are Most Interested In The Switch
@nhSnork Me: Okay! (throws money at Capcom)

Re: The Darksiders Twitter Account Might Have Teased A Switch Release
Considering the less-than-stellar reception it had on other platforms, do we really want it?
Re: Rumour: Legendary Entertainment Has Plans For More Live-Action Pokémon Movies
Focus on one movie first, Legendary. THEN we can talk about sequels, spinoffs, other Nintendo IPs, etc.
Re: Future Business Shift Could See Nintendo Move Away From Home Console Development
@Severian So, in other words, just expanding into other industries. Makes sense, calm down everybody.

Re: Atlus Teases Persona 5 R, More Information To Be Revealed March 2019
Considering the Vita is pretty much dead at this point, I'd be surprised if it wasn't a dual release on PS4 and Switch at this point.
Re: Atlus Teases Persona 5 R, More Information To Be Revealed March 2019
@Malcrash Shh, don't give SegAtlus any ideas!
