I've actually been pretty interested in playing this because I always thought the game looked pretty interesting. Will definitely check the demo out when it comes to the US
You should also mention that you can play one of the greatest fighting games of all time in SF6, being SF6 itself, but using Mega Man to get the masses to play works as well lol
You know if I remember correctly, I think this might be the best selling Switch 2 third party title in Japan atm with physical sales, which feels like a crazy sentence to say but I do know Tamagotchi is still big in Japan but didn't know it was big enough for a full on release title
I would of loved to of bought these amiibos, but this is the one thing I think Nintendo kinda brought too high of a price. For $40 each, they at least needed to be very detailed, or at least got you something substantial for scanning in, and to me it just feels like there isn't anything major for either, because at this point it's better just to find an actual figure of these guys
Very cool looking outfit. Hopefully there will be more collab costumes in the future because I know if they put any large focus on avatar stuff, I know people will get mad all over again like with the TMNT and SpyXFamily collabs
Honestly didn't know because I didn't see the Switch logo at all during the show. Although after the gameplay here I am intrigued to possibly check it out if the Switch version is pretty good because the gameplay they showed actually looked really fun
I'm glad that Sagat is dropping in September because SF6 has had a weird problem the past two years where between characters 2 and 3 of each season ends up being very long and not very well spaced out, so Sagat coming later is a good sign to me because then I bet they'll have better release cadence then
I'm not completely surprised, but I would assume once we get more day one releases on Switch 2 and Mario Kart fever wains a little bit for everyone trying to get one, 3rd party sales will pick up. Could also be a case of companies setting their expectations very high for this launch when basically all large 3rd party releases are ports right now, and just thinking that if they're at launch people will buy them right away. We can't say for certain, but I doubt that Switch 2 is going to have 3rd party devs struggling for sales like Wii U, we probably just need to build momentum a bit more and just have more games on the way
@Liam_Doolan Were you able to play any online matches? When I first tried MvC on Switch 2 it said it couldn't establish a connection with the server to play
@lovesushi Matchmaking is great in the game. SF is one of those series where there's always a lot of people of all skill levels playing so you'll definitely be able to find some good matches
It's crazy the numbers the Switch 2 is pulling rn. Definitely shows Nintendo's dominance over Japan's gaming sphere. Only surprise here is that SF6 isn't on the charts considering how it's big in Japan rn, but I guess if Capcom counts it as digital sales at retail, maybe Famitsu doesn't track it because I would have to assume that's doing very well for Capcom.
I experienced this with Guilty Gear XX as I saw it was incompatible, but it automatically downloaded it onto my system and it worked perfectly, even was able to play online with my friend as well. Makes me want to try some of my other games that are on the list to see if they possibly work as well
From what I've played, the screen looks fantastic to me! Granted I was on the base model Switch for the past 8 years so I never got to experience the OLED really, but the screen is still quite colorful and nice looking compared to the original model
Very happy to see SF6 cross this milestone. I bet Switch 2 is gonna help Capcom get sales even further into the future as major big fighting games get sales on Switch, and with SF6 being huge in Japan, I bet this is going to be seen as a killer app for the system honestly, as it was for me
Bro this is awesome to see! Already was worth it for the price and if they continue to update it with older and new tracks plus new options this game is just gonna be getting better in the next year
I'm having a great time with it so far. Only knock I have against it is no native online multiplayer but I don't remember if RMX had it so at least having GameShare now is a very cool inclusion. Shin'en just always puts out bangers so I was more than glad to shell out for Fusion, they deserve as much success as possible
I'm glad that this at least has an upgrade path, although I have to wonder what the Switch 2 version is going to include in that upgrade path to justify the additional price
Honestly a really good selection imo. C. Viper has deserved a return for a long while now, Alex and Sagat are always cool to see, and I'm happy Ingrid is back because I know this will probably be her chance to shine. I have to wonder about the long gap between C. Viper and Alex, because HOOOOOOO boy that sounds like it might be another long wait, but of course it's been like that the past two years so maybe Capcom is just tempering our expectations this time lol
I played SF6 on PS4 initially when playing World Tour, so the 30fps isn't going to bother me upon replay. Just the fact it has such a solid portable version with full online with cross play so I can get cheaper online, it was a no brainer for me. The game was always a 10, and is still very much a 10.
Either most people just do not care about Welcome Tour actually being paid, or we have imposters among us. I got the Mario Kart bundle, picked up Cyberpunk and SF6 physically, and downloaded Fast Fusion
Japan and PAL's art is soooo good. Bengus's style in the series just makes everyone look so cool, especially here and the way the coloring is done just makes it look even more epic. I have no idea what Capcom was thinking for the US art. Like not only is it just character art, they chose Psylocke and Guile, the two most random choices for characters. I wonder what made them go with that compared to even using different more popular characters
Very happy to see NebulasRay finally get ported and Hamster is always great, but I do wonder why this is so high priced. Was it Namco wanting more from this licensing agreement? Was it Hamster setting a new price for future ACA releases because of inflation? And is their future releases going to have the same? Hopefully not because $15 for Ridge Racer 1 is gonna be steep.
Wasn't expecting this many additions to some of these games. HDR support for almost all games here is really cool to see along side sharper image quality! Does feel weird Grezzo's Zeldas on Switch don't have the frame rate mention, but I would assume they get something boost wise, but they aren't the most pressing frame rate improvements we need imo
Makes sense Tokimeki would be selling well considering the original is a storied game in Japan and the original has been absent for so long. I do really wish Konami was willing to try and bring this over to the west with an official translation, because I think it would probably do decently for itself in modern landscape of games like Tokimeki finding their niche.
@-wc- I mean Capcom obviously sees the arcade versions of all of their pre-7th gen titles as the versions most people that really want these collections (the players of these old games) as they are the versions that are basically exactly the same or a bit better than arcade, additional content aside. I would rather let these games have modern versions with great online over them just being left in the past and hard for the average modern gamer to get their hands on.
Very excited to get this collection. This is arguably the most bang for your buck collection, even considering the MvC Collection. There's just such a huge variety of games here, and barely any overlapping feeling of like any games blend together. Hopefully this will be as active as the MvC Collection on Switch when I pick it up, because there's so much to chew on for these games online. Obviously sucks we don't have versions like Alpha 3 Max or Project Justice's Dreamcast version as those obviously have some extra content, but I'm used to it by this point and there's so many good games here I can't complain for first impressions.
I wonder if any devs will stop GameChat from being used like how some titles won't allow screenshots or recording on Switch 1 if it was too resource intensive
@Zeebor15 Ok if the way I'm reading it is correct, then yeah maybe just doing all 3 at the same time is a good move casual side. Probably will let ArcSys do another marketing blitz with the Switch version again. And OMG that would make so much sense if they're doing "that game" especially after Another Code
@MirrorFate2 I was actually wondering about that. Can't believe they still don't know what to do for the rest of Season 4, which I just think they should just add for free at this point since they added Dizzy for free
Nothing for me just yet. I did register my interest a bit late so idk if I'll be part of the first few rounds of invos but hopefully I'm wrong because it would be really cool if I did get one lol
Even if they are a little stupid, I might buy a few here and there like SF6 or maybe Hitman. Sometimes I do like at least having some sort of physical thing on me so I do for some reason want to sell it, or the fact I at least own something. Going all digital for me is really only for games about $30 or less, anything above I usually want to at least buy something that isn't just tied to my account
I will definitely sell my Switch after I get my Switch 2 so I know I can transfer all of my save data and screenshots natively. Besides that knowing that basically all games I would want to play on Switch are going to be already working or are going to get Nintendo's fix for them, so I might as well get my money back easily for the Switch that's going to replace it
$20 is very reasonable to me. When I see them more as directly marked as a whole DLC Expansion and not just an upgrade with extra content, I feel more down with it in my head and wanting to upgrade over something like Sony's upgrades
