@kensredemption Bow down in the presence of greatness

@Kochambra old wine in new bottles, bruah. It's an old $5 game bundled with some DLC most wouldn't buy anyway.

The only thing that I like about the $30 price tag is just how disrespecful it is to the Switch owners

@Kochambra wow, dlc included for a 5 year old game for double the price. Great deal.

@maruse Lol, now you're crying after you tried to be slick and edgy with the 'I think you should change your Internet provider because obviously it’s not a good one.'

@FlashBoomerang I am educating the uninformed

Release Date
Wii U eShop

5th Sep 2013, $14.99 (USA)
22nd Aug 2013, £12.99 (UK/EU)

So they doubled the price of a 5 year old indie title. Another day 1 purchase

@MasterJay How about it isn't the server but little kids with the weak Switch wifi on their crappy wifi network with a cheap ass internet connection? They seem to just run out their house with the Switch in their hands until the connection gets lost. Never underestimate how dumb Nintendo players are.

@ThatNyteDaez If you never saw this message:

'Some players disconnected early on, so the Rank Meter will not change.'

you're part of the problem.

I'm S+ btw. Maybe you didn't notice it at lower ranks because they shoot randomly any way. You might still be able to win too with 3v4

@Sakura But the fanboys would've been even more angry if they offered cross-play with the Xbox but not with Nintendo.

@Ensemen You never have other players disconnecting during the match?

I just spoke with Sony and they say there are willing to enable cross play as soon as someone plays 10 multiplayer Splatoon games in a row without any player dropping out during the match.

Nintendo should fix it's online services first before their dumb fanboys even start talking about cross play. Nobody likes to play with laggy Switch gamers who get disconnected every other minute.

Those NES games are basically just Nintendo saying: hey we didn't really want to give you anything, but we see that Sony and Microsoft give away triple A titles every month with their online service, so we give you

Balloon Fight.

What's next? Killer 7 rebooted as a 8 bit runner?

No More Heroes 1 & 2 were amazing, but this is terrible.

Sony cross play? Never.

Switch online is the worst. You don't even need to play Fortnite, you can just wait and all the players disconnect by themselve. Same for Splatoon and same with Puyo Puyo Tetris.

@Blizzia then order it online or fly to Asia like I usually do. Stop crying

@MartyFlanMJFan that doesn't mean Nintendo isn't greedy. You don't need to defend the pricing policy just because you like the games. It's the same with apple hardware, we all know it's overpriced.

On other platforms you can get older triple A titles for less than $10 on sale. On the Switch people are happy if they can buy old Wii U ports for $45.
That's just greedy. Partially because there is barely third party support.

I love the games but that Nintendo pricing strategy is still inexcusable. Just drop the price of games that were released over a year ago.

Charging 60 bucks for a launch game is greedy.

Looks like trash.

btw did you guys know there is a free-to-play Shin Megami Tensei for mobile?

Shin Megami Tensei Liberation Dx2

It's pretty good.

Gotta catch em all.

@iPlayNintendo You mean that you don't know what a hyperbole is. That's ok, but don't be insecure about your weight. I won't fatshame you

'It's a good game and I daresay a good percent of those million+ people who bought Octopath Traveler would like our game if they knew it existed. '

No they wouldn't.

Damn, literally everybody in the video is overweight.

And smh, still Mario Kart and 1 2 Switch. The drougth is real.

@kobashi100 Sorry, I was talking about the third party support and the Bethesda comments.

No PS4 user buys Blossom Tales. I see it's on sale now for the Switch for €9.99 (usually it's €14.99)

Now look at the current PS4 games on sale:

Doom €9.99
Yakuza Kiwami €9.99
Need For Speed €7.99
UFC 2 €9.99
Tomb Raider Definitive Edition €6.99
Overcooked €4.99
Dark Souls II €9.99
DiRT Rally €8.99
Battlefield 4 €6.99
Mass Effect Andromeda €7.99
Titalfall 2 €9.99
Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition €9.99
Resident Evil 0/1/4/5/6/Revelations: €8.99/€9.99
Dragon Ball Xenoverse €9.99
Wolfenstein The New Order €5.99
Wolfenstein The Old Blood €5.99
Jak & Daxter €6.99
The Evil Within €5.99
Mirrors Edge Catalyst €7.99
The Evil Within €5.99
Marvel vs Capciom 3 €7.99
Ultra Street Fighter IV €7.99

You will never see anything like that on a Nintendo console and that's why an indie game sells better on the Switch: PS4 owners can buy triple A titles for the same price.

If the Switch had similar sales, nobody would buy Blossom Tales on the Switch either. But on the Switch you have to pay €59.99 for Doom and there is no other third party support. The Switch gamers are so hungry and thirsty that they buy Blossom Tales.

You fanboys keep clinging onto Doom. The only reason the Switch gets a new version is because the engine supports it. Where are the other ports? Tell me. Most studios already said the Switch just isn't powerful enough for most modern games.

@Mrtoad that's a Mario game, that doesn't count. Ubisoft could release Mario's Big Toe Nail Clipping Simulator and it would sell a million.

@kobashi100 60k is not a huge success if it sells a million on the PS4. Studios don't usually talk about whether or not something is disappointing, because it damages the relationship. Even EA employees said that the Wii U sales were terrible(the Wii u received Mass Effect, Need for Speed, Harry Potter and FIFA in the first year), but the official company stance was that everything was fine. They did not release anything after that on the Wii U and on the Switch it's FIFA only. Ubisoft is only releasing Rabbids and Just Dance games.
Mature games just rarely sell well on Nintendo platforms, that's why you don't see many. No need to be in denial. Sure you can dial the expectations down, expect the Switch version to sell 5% of what the PS4 sold and call it a huge success. But then you're living in an alternate reality.

@Mrtoad because the engine is so flexible any team could do it, unlike probably Skyrim. Panic Button is a small company, 34 employees on LinkedIn. You don't want to waste resources(internal developers) if you can outsource it. Do you even understand how development works? It's really obvious if you code yourself

I said a cheap port might generate some revenue, but it isn't a huuuge success, nor are third party games in general on the Switch. I think none of them sold more than a million.

@Mrtoad

Doom was successful enough because it was a cheap port. The engine is so flexible that it is barely any more work to get it to run on the Switch. It scales wonderfully to different hardware. That is why you see those id tech games on the Switch and don't see many other new games.

How difficult is that to comprehend?

As soon as it takes much more effort, a possible Switch port gets dropped. It's all about the return of investment. What we've seen are low investment ports.

@kobashi100 You must be new to marketing.

I always believe what a PR dude is saying, even though it makes no sense! But I'm a fanboy so I'm a believer

@Mrtoad Repeat after me: the Nintendo Switch will never get 31 Bethesda games. Ever.

It got a few ports of old games that were easy to port and one new one that happened to use the id tech engine.

They're so successful that there were no Switch versions announced for Fallout 76, RAGE 2, Starfield, The Elder Scrolls VI and Wolfenstein: Youngblood

@BAN a rhetoric question, so edgy. I gave you a like because you're fishing for those.

@kobashi100 proof does not work that way. You have to prove that it is a huge success, not the other way around. Quoting a PR dude does not prove anything.

You sound like a religious person. ** you can't prove god doesn't exist so he exists **

According to NintendoLife there have been 9 game releases for the Switch the last two months that scored a 9 out of 10.

I wonder if any one remembers these must buy classics two years from now.

@Blizzia Sounds like you want to play Tetris with only the I pieces dropping. Remove the entry barrier!

Every 6 year old was playing Street Fighter II when it came out. Now it is too difficult, boohoo.

Bathesda got 31 games on the PS4 and 4 on the Switch, one of which is a mobile game.

Huge success

@kobashi100 If they're doing so well, why aren't they releasing more games like they do on the other platforms?

Why?

Tell me.

Use your brains and think for one time.

It doesn't make any sense.

@Razer

Wow shocking news.

I'm just happy to see Shenmue in the charts.

Where is the Switch version?

Just kidding, we don't need that. We got Crash Bandicoot.

From 11:32, a legend

Streets of Rage 4 looks trash though.

Bought the golden Famicom Mini Shonen Jump edition. It sucks and couldn't get Hakchi to work yet.

@cfgk24 I tried it. It's boring and slow. It's like one giant grindfest. And I really dislike the controls and loading screens.

Everybody was playing it in Asia though.

@Preposterous The 7/10 is reserved for games like Robbotto: https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/switch-eshop/robbotto

@BAN Bitter and angry? I'm just having fun. I'm a Nintendo fan myself, just not as delusional as most of them (and I like Playstations and Segas too)

@Krull I just bought it because it was a physical release and cheap. Never played it before, read some reviews but they are all clones. Copy paste opinions: 9, ,9, 9, 9, 9.

Okami is really slow and flawed. Not really a triple A either. More like an old cult classic

@BAN you're only dumb if you think PC gamers care about crappy 2D pixel zelda clones.

Nintendo fanboys celebrate them like it's a triple A game. SWITCH >>> STEAM!!!!1

@Cosats I just walked outside in sunny Taiwan and bought Okami HD. It sucks

@Mrtoad because they're cheap ports and there is no competition on the Switch. They're not doing better than on other platforms.

And finally, publishers always call everything a huge success. Stop repeating marketing bojos

Indie games sell well on Nintendo platforms, because most Nintendo players are poor. Third party triple A's don't do so well

I'm surprised so many people like this. It does not look or sound anything like Streets of Rage. It looks and sounds like a random indie title.

I hate it when western studios make a sequel of classic Japanese classics. They always fail to capture the real feeing and try to make it more edgy. It's the same with anime. It always feels a bit off or a whole lot off like this horrible trailer.

btw check out Diggin The Carts episode 4 for a great docu about the music of Streets of Rage and Yuzo Koshiro

@Ponyfox Where can you speed up the text in the Switch version?

I bought the physical copy in Taiwan. Played 1.5 hour and it's still really boring to be honest.

@MagnaRoader People give Panic Button way too much credit. The real star of the show is the id Tech engine that is really scalable.

The biggest Rocket League performance update was after Panic Button stopped working on the Switch version.
