@topsekret physical PC sales % have only VERY recently started to appear on these charts, as far as I’m aware. It is very unusual, I don’t understand it.
Ok those patch notes are great, worth clicking on the article just for those 😅 and of course some of the replies here. The game did sell though, it was number one on the eShop.
@jfp a lot of things rub me up the wrong way here recently, and they’re very aware of it too. Anyway, not a James Bond fan but the game looks good. Not for me regardless
Build it, and they will come… as in, build it FOR Nintendo Switch 2, and I will buy Capcom. I’m saving for my own Switch 2, next year at some point, and I would LOVE a quality RE game for it 🤞
I don’t know what has brought him back to it, but my son has played basically nothing but Splatoon 3 all Summer on Switch 1 😆 I hope he’s still… hooked come Christmas when he gets his Switch 2, currently hiding in between the drawers under my bed 😅 I’d love to see him continue playing it on his shiny new hardware 😊
Funny I was just trying to find information on the eShop price. Deal of the century was previously Hollow Knight at launch @Spoony_Tech, this will undoubtedly be comparable. It’s almost guaranteed it’ll be worth whatever they ask for it, but I think it will be very generously priced.
Tetris 99 today, earned a Theme I’d missed out on and exchanged some tickets for a couple others. Took a scoot to the eShop, tell me this and tell me no more, when did they start displaying a Top 100 on the charts?!
@Anti-Matter interesting, thanks for your detailed reply. Regardless of what platform you game on, I hope it continues to bring you joy. I am currently saving up to buy a Switch2, I understand some of your frustrations but I remain a single platform gamer and that platform remains Nintendo hardware for me 😊
This is bad news, right? Either that or it doesn’t mean anything, too early to tell, or sales are going to drop off a cliff any… second… NOW! Right? RIGHT?! lol looking forward to getting my self one.
I don’t understand delaying. All eyes will be on the eShop 😅 Sure, Silksong is ultimately gonna sell millions, but there’ll be many MORE millions who don’t buy it. Get your game out there if it’s good to go 👍
Michael Jackson didn’t compromise with his art. When his label balked at the scope and cost involved with the THRILLER Short Film, he made it happen. He got Martin Scorsese to direct the BAD Short Film. Scream is still the most expensive music video ever made. They Don’t Care About Us was filmed in Brazil despite opposition of their government who didn’t want the world to see exactly what he wanted to expose, the poverty outside of the capital. Granted, not every one has the luxury of not worrying about things like budget, but Team Cherry have deservedly got themselves in this position and we’re all gonna reap the benefits very soon. I’m excited.
Hollow Knight was not only an absolute masterpiece, but it was outrageously good value for money. I have no idea what price Silksong will be, but I think they’ll price it fairly and generously again. Regardless, it’ll be worth it.
Absolutely well deserved in my opinion. I was genuinely astounded by the size, the quality of it when I purchased almost on a whim. A masterpiece, in my humble opinion.
‘Ain’t too much sadder than the tears of a clown…’ September 4th, whoop whoop! Though in my head, and out loud, I was saying… ‘out now, come on!’ Great news, looking forward to pricing details. I’ll probably get on Switch, be interesting to learn what options there’ll be. hope to be on the Switch2 bandwagon some time next year. I got caught up in the hype when Hollow Knight originally launched on Switch and went ahead and bought without knowing very much about it… the game is an absolute masterpiece as far as I’m concerned.
@JohnnyMind I think the first game I ever played was Chuckie Egg on the BBC Micro. I’ve had a Commodore 64, MasterSystem, SNES, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, GameCube, Wii, various Nintendo handhelds and now my beloved Switch! Still saving for my Switch2, sometimes I genuinely consider staying away from here so I don’t lose enthusiasm.
@Pillowpants of course, some games are basically unplayable, and some people are certainly more sensitive to specific things than others, but it just gets tiresome these days. Just enjoy, have fun, it’s a hobby! I hope you’re having fun 😊
Console gamers now have morphed in to the P.C. Master Race I used to read about in the magazines. Developers have to take some of the blame, push the boundaries, sure, but if your game is gonna chug? Change something. Adjust, compromise. But yeah, seems we can’t enjoy, or be seen to be enjoying a GAME, if it’s anything less than flawless. Well, there’s never been a flawless game or experience and never will be. This is a hobby. Have fun and appreciate the joy and beauty in it.
I’d imagine it’s still gonna be an incredible experience on Switch2. We sometimes act as if every game runs flawlessly everywhere but Nintendo hardware. This game doesn’t run flawlessly anywhere, but it’s still held in high regard, and that’s an understatement.
Hollow Knight on Switch is damn near perfect. I have no idea how much better a game can play, I’m a Switch only gamer, but hopefully I’ll find out next year 😅 slowly but surely saving for one.
@LikelySatan sure it does, but people disregard games simply because they’ve, as evidenced in comments above, ‘heard’ the performance is poor. Not everything you hear is true is what I’m saying, again, as evidenced in comments above 👍
@Tasuki man that first movie… I still love it. Our Dad (R.I.P.) used to work away in England and he brought us home a VHS with Sponge written on it. I don’t know what that was all about, but it was a terrible copy of the Turtles movie but we LOVED it. ‘Man I LOVE being a Turtle!’ 🤪
The problem is the people that pay the ridiculous prices scalpers seek. If somebody with more money than sense is willing to pay over the odds, someone else will happily take their money. It’s gross all round.

Re: Switch 2 Sales In The US Are Outpacing The Original Console By 75%
