@electrolite77 It's almost as if people have completely forgotten it's still tracking Ahead of Switch 1 and is the fastest selling console...if you want to see an Actual failing/struggling console, there's a much better example out there.
@Zeebor15 So maybe stop using GKCs? Clearly there is a physical collectors market on Switch/ Switch 2. If your audience wants to buy your games, on card, then you can either appeal to that audience and make money or don't and lose sales/money. It's not rocket science.
@NoodleWad Interesting...then perhaps they are only offering the upgrade for those that purchased it Digitally? Absolutely insane if that's the case, i.e. punishing physical edition owners of the game.
@Cremia Yep, it was very cool that Nintendo dabbled in 3D during the early Labo days. I'd really love to see them throw in some extra 3D modes/options into other games now that Virtual Boy has launched.
I mean, give us VB owners more reasons to actually use this thing now that we've bought it. 😅
@boxyguy Yea, hopefully Nintendo realizes that not every game is a $70 game. I wouldn't be surprised if Mario Tennis Fever's sales were stunted due to its price tag.
Capcom also undersupplied RE9 and (especially) the Generation Pack on Switch 2, with the latter being sold out almost instantly. I wouldn't be surprised if less than 500k copies of it were made, worldwide.
@larryisaman Extremely good point. I'm not sure Capcom thought this out at all. It's like, you made the RE Triple pack (RE4,RE5 & RE6) on Switch 1 and it sold great....so why severely limit that same success/sales potential for RE7,RE8 & RE9 on Switch 2??
@IronMan30 Yep, Capcom apparently greatly underestimated the physical edition of RE9 on Switch 2 and didn't produce enough copies in Japan. The game was also frequently sold out in the US too. I'm sure they are more than happy with the Switch 2 sales in that regard.
@TheMainMii Hmm...well, they kind of kept it up through to Unity and Syndicate ..but, with Origins they started to go in a different direction (still an "outside" parallel story) and carried it through till Valhalla.
But now there's a new, less focused, "outside of the animus" story. It's "there" but nothing like the first 4 (mainline) games. Not sure if that answers your question but hope it helps.
Huh, could have sworn there was going to be a physical release for this (outside of LRG) at retail, e.g. Best Buy, Amazon, VGP etc, but it's seemingly been pulled from their storefronts, nowhere to be found...🤔
@aresius What are you talking about? People absolutely buy 3rd party titles on Nintendos platforms. At least more than on Xbox. There are tons of AAs and indie games that are either exclusively on Switch/Switch 2 or on Switch/Switch 2 and Playstation only, skipping Xbox completely.
And it absolutely should be on Nintendo to forge partnerships with developers publishers to ensure that games arrive on their platform at the same time as other platforms, as you referenced, the way they do with Capcom. They should do their best to have that policy across the board.
After 1 year of being released, there should no longer be the excuse of "we didn't have SDKs, so our game is arriving later on Switch 2" (and esp not Switch 1) anymore.
How much longer will Switch 2 be treated like a 2nd class citizen for this generation? I get that it's a new system but if Switch versions of games continued to be released "at a later date" after a year on Market then something is seriously wrong that Nintendo needs to address
@Juanblue85 Yea, I was one of those suckers that preordered (I really wanted to play this with the visuals it deserves on handheld...physically).
They better offer refunds if it ends up getting canned. Such a weird delay reason, i.e. "Need significant updates"? Just say needs more development time..?🤷♂️
You think you've got it bad? Back in my day...Metal GearSolid 4 needed 3 Install Discs and a Mandatory Disc Swap per chapter...or something like that...probably
I think we all knew it would be coming to ALL Platforms. Konami wants to make money, and despite how weak we may view the Switch as, keep in mind, MGS4 is a PS3 game at its core. Switch 1 can easily handle PS3 level games.
Despite missing a few graphical features here and there, the Switch 2 edition of AC Shadows looks and runs extremely impressive, especially for a handheld device. It's also not as bad as everyone tried to make it out to be. Glad to see its found some success on Switch 2.
@tseliot Idk it feels like ppl just need something to be outraged against every month and Yakuza was the perfect target for this one. Not saying there's not a valid issue here to have, and if someone personally chooses to not support something for their own reasons, fine...but going out of the way to convince other ppl to be angry as well and dump on a generally "good" game that took hundreds of other ppl to make bc of one single issue that has nothing to do with the actual quality of the game is wild.
And yea I hear you, it's a packed month; Mario Tennis, DQ7, Kiwami 3 and RE9 all in one month. Even if you have the $$, there's hardly enough time.
Meh, I don't really care about one side character being replaced (They replaced an entire Main character in the Part 4 re-release). Yakuza 3 was the game that introduced me to the series and made me fall in love with the world and it's stories and characters.
There's no way I'm missing out on this Remake, and it's entirely new side story!

Yeah sure..."no games" (with April looming)

Re: Japanese Charts: Ditto Copies Another Win For Pokémon Pokopia
Just some observations..
PS5 HW: 12.886
RE9 PS5: 12.787
They're basically selling this system off the back of RE9....and yet the Switch 2 version (@ 96.950 HW) can't even chart?
Capcom done goofed.

Re: Yakuza Kiwami 3 Will Be The Last Kiwami Game, Says RGG Studio Head
@FrenchVaniIIuxe How can a game flop if it hasn't been released yet? 🤔
Also, despite the review score on this site, the game has gotten fairly high marks in other reviews.
The campaign to hate on and destroy this game because of a casting choice is real.

@TheWokesterGamer I get that it's a different game and different reviewer, but there's no way on earth this game is on par with Yakuza Kiwami 3.
If this game is a "6", K3 is at least a "7" and If K3 is a "6", this game is at most a "5".
