@Dev-N No one even suggested this as a possibility. Obviously Splatoon Raiders is a separate game and won't be downgraded to DLC all of a sudden. No need to even think of such a weird scenario.

@johnedwin This is almost certainly not a full rerelease like the Switch 2 editions as all Switch 1 games with upgrades got these ratings already.

@mikegamer I haven't heard about Rebirth selling particularly strongly on PC.
And if this is your argument for why exclusives should disappear completely then the tell me why so many of Nintendo's games are among the best selling ever despite being exclusives.

@ShadLink No, DeNa as Wikipedia says made the service infrastructure, My Nintendo integration, and development cooperation with Nintendo EPD for Miitomo, Super Mario Run, AC Pocket Camp and Mario Kart Tour and the same with Intelligent Systems and Fire Emblem Heroes. They made Pokémon Masters together with the Pokémon Company and Pokémon TCG Pocket on their own.

@ShadLink Super Mario Run, Mario Kart Tour and Animal Crossing Pocket Camp were fully or almost fully developed by Nintendo internally. Doctor Mario World was co-developed by Nintendo.

But those are only mobile games, none of them are ports of console games and none of them would ever come to actually competing hardware.

@Anti-Matter Super Mario Bros Wonder and all other Mario platformers on Switch already run at smooth 60fps. More voice acted dialogue and UE5 won't help them in any way.

@nintendolife There's still several typos with the platforms in the table. It says Kirby Air Riders and AoI are on Switch 1 and Animal Crossing is on Switch 2.
Edit: Thanks for fixing.

@PikaPhantom The original Switch 1 port was also made by Blitworks.

@BaldB3lper78 "Was it not?" No it wasn't. It was a lot of fun and very enjoyable to obviously a lot of people, since it made so much money at the box office and got all those awards.

@DennyCrane Avatar 4 and 5 already have release dates. He's planning to direct these too. After that he'll just be the producer.

@Smithicus "China was by far the largest market for Avatar 2".
No it wasn't. 245 million dollars in China vs 684 million in the US and Canada.
It also made a ton in several other countries like in Germany where it made 163 million and 157 million in France.

@Smithicus Seriously you're just babling a lot of blabla. "We all know", no we don't. Avatar 3 is gonna make another 2 billion at the box office no matter how little perceivable hype there is on the internet. It's pretty damn clear that a ton of people enjoy these movies a lot no matter how much you wanna keep calling it slop and dead in the water.
Both movies got great ratings from critics and normal viewers. Your own opinion is not to be confused with fact and reality.

@Smithicus And yet Avatar 2 is the third highest grossing movie of all time.

@Samalik The dev team is obviously not just Sora Ltd. which is him and his wife, but a much larger team from Bandai Namco. He is usually the director and his wife is the UI designer.

@Dang_69 8.3 by users here is much higher than mid.

@RenanLK All of Nintendolife's lists are user ranked. Some of these games here have so few ratings from users, you can change the entire ranking yourself now with a few votes.
I simply gave the 13th game on the list a rating (it had none) and now it's at #1.

@Spider-Kev And now you replied to the wrong comment or what? What you said has nothing to do with what I said.
Also Age of Imprisonment is over 40GB.

Your first comment here is still not related to the article or the game at all.

@Spider-Kev Are you mixing it up with something or did you comment on the wrong article?

@Serpenterror The Switch actually has over 15 000 games (I know thousands of them are shovelware, but it's the highest any console ever had).

@Ganon821 Different universe? What?

@Jhena 9.2 million worldwide. It's more important what it sold in Japan to compare here.

@Nintendofanatic994 You live in a bubble.

Looks so incredibly cute. I love it.

@sportymariosonicmixx No it's not. The internal tech is completely different and redone from the ground up.

@Aurumonado They already did. Their new games not on Switch 1 sell for 70€.

@Potimarron It's a style seemingly inspired by Alien.

@WiltonRoots Because it is a bot. I just can't help myself. @Nintendolife That account is an obvious bot or written through chatgpt.

@Striker21 "Due to market trends shifting toward live services and subscriptions."
Are you stuck several years in the past?

@Yodalovesu That document has over 60 pages, but they're all just and image with a bit of text, mostly just a few sentences. It took me less than 20 minutes to read it all.

@HugoGED They should not acquire Platinum Games. Most of the studio's greatest and best directors already left. It's a shell of it's former self.

@Striker21 This sounds like what an idiotic and short sighted CEO would say, who has no idea of how the gaming market works.
Also posting chatgpt comments here is pathetic.

@rjejr Yes, they're just releasing the "opening section" or "first part" now for 70€ and the other 98% of the game are a 20€ DLC next year.
That definitely happens regularly. Oh wait, it doesn't.
A DLC expansion or add on content doesn't mean the fully complete story this game is telling is suddenly just the "opening section".
It doesn't make any sense to act like anyone would ever call it like that.
Or what do you think is gonna happen? Only the first battle is available at launch?

DK Bananza's DLC is just inconsequential add on content that you don't need at all. It's not necessary and not really worth the money anyways.

@BlaizeV How exactly is this petty? He was extremely blatant with what he was doing and they have the legal need to protect their IP in this way, to not lose the rights to it.

@Flashlink99 How is 4K lackluster? Did you expect 8K?

@datamonkey Why are you making such weird assumptions with the price? No other Switch 2 upgrade pack was 25€. The ones that are 20€ include a whole expansion. The ones that are 10€ include mainly technical upgrades.
So why would you assume this Switch 2 edition is the most expensive despite having the least upgrades? That makes no sense and it's very easy to just look up what it costs.

It's actually the cheapest, at only 5€ instead of 10 or 20.

This is how so much misinformation about the Switch 2 has been spread around so often.

@Chibi 16454 + 6639 + 1925 = 25109

@AmplifyMJ It's always released less than a day later.

Btw, the bundle is included in the numbers here.

@BrokenCiv What? Are you trolling or something? What are you complaining about if you have no problem? Why would you write a comment like that with that emoji, like you're sick and tired of Amiibo and then say you have no problem with them?

@BrokenCiv "Amiibo…..we still doing those?"
What exactly is your problem?

@Chibi These charts include bundles. Bundles are sold through retail.

@kal_el_07241 "Considering first reports for week 1, ZA was down 40% compared to Arceus, and then by week two only 28%..."
Reread that part of the article. It's 28% down over Arceus across all of Europe, not just the UK, at launch.

@Ralek85 5.8 million sold up until Sunday the 19th, over a week ago.

@MarcusIsCool relax

@darkswabber "it was an insane success on Ps5"
How does it being "an insane success" mean it outsold the lifetime sales of the PC and XBS versions in 3 months on PS5? What is your source?

@MarcusIsCool Then what 3DS and DSi music were you talking about that people were apparently listening to at some point before moving on to the Switch? You don't need to have a Switch to know about Nintendo Music, you can just read Nintendolife articles like this one here, that mention several times that it's an app.

@MarcusIsCool What are you talking about? The 3DS and DSi didn't have music apps. This is a mobile app as part of NSO and it'll keep going as long as Nintendo has it's subscription service.

@fenlix No it can't run these games. Especially not Star Wars Outlaws, which has mandatory raytracing that the PS4 is not capable of at all.

@Dee123 These charts do include bundles.

@Friendly The eshop says it's not compatible and you can't buy it on Switch 2, but if bought it on Switch 1 you can play it on Switch 2. I've tried it and it seems to run well, but maybe there's some bad spot that crashes it.

@Lord Arceus sold almost 1.5 million at launch in Japan, 2 million with digital. Same launch size as Sword/Shield and Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl.
