Monster Hunter or not Switch will do well in Japan.
It will have: DQ11, Splatoon, Mario, Pokemon and Animal Crossing. Pretty much it will have the biggest franchises there aside from MH. Is Capcom's lost more than Nintendo's to be honest.
I agree with others here, they should prioritize performance instead of graphics or even better; gives us the option to choose between Cinematic mode and Gameplay mode.
@FatAlbert1 yep the 3DS has at best two more years in the market but Nintendo is dropping support starting this year. They will just release the games already announced for it and call it a day.
The Nintendo Switch sold 14.86 million consoles in 10 months. According to Wikipedia, the original Wii shipped 13.17 million units by September 2007, a little over 10 months after its launch. So the Switch is currently outpacing the Wii, although after 10 months the Wii entered its second holiday season and will definitely retake the lead. What about the DS? Surprisingly, it had a slow start, shipping 8.83 million units after 10 months. And the PS4? After exactly 12 months, it sold 14.4 million units. Just for some perspective.
I love this game a lot, specially the art-style. Is quite long and some parts are very hard. If you are a platformer addict this game should be on your Switch.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I think the Switch will surpass those 3DS figures. Games like Metroid 4, Pokemon Switch, Animal Crossing Switch and Smash DX are still to come. Plus the next Zelda and the next Mario Odyssey.
You extrapolate sales but you don't take into consideration the insane library differences when it comes to games. I'm pretty sure 3DS sales weren't steady all the time, they must have spikes when key games were release. The same will hold true for the Switch.

Re: Splatoon 2 Crosses The Two Million Marker As Nintendo Titles Swamp The Japanese Charts
@Ernest_The_Crab and thats exactly my whole point that the studio is call Japan Studio and they never sell well there which is ironic.
Re: Splatoon 2 Crosses The Two Million Marker As Nintendo Titles Swamp The Japanese Charts
@Octane Except Shadow of the Colossus sold really good in UK and I'm pretty sure it did too on US since it was among Amazon's best sellers.

Re: Splatoon 2 Crosses The Two Million Marker As Nintendo Titles Swamp The Japanese Charts
Also, it feels so good that ARMS and Xenoblade last week keeps charting.
So much for being death games...
Re: Splatoon 2 Crosses The Two Million Marker As Nintendo Titles Swamp The Japanese Charts
For a gaming studio being name Japan Studio, they never do well in Japan....
5. [PS4] Shadow of the Colossus – 21,900 / NEW

Re: Nintendo Switch Titles Are Still Holding Their Own In The UK Charts
@Fight_Teza_Fight yep hence why Polygon said the Switch is kinda slowing down and ppl at Twitter went berserk.
Re: Nintendo Switch Titles Are Still Holding Their Own In The UK Charts
@kobashi100 exactly not every game needs to be #1, this is a marathon not a race.

18. [NSW] FIFA 18 – 3,720 / 78,169
20. [NSW] Monster Hunter XX – 3,162 / 207,939
Fifa18 charted on Japan and Switch owners are kinda sending a message here to Capcom with XX.

Re: Rocket League Is Getting Some New Graphics Options This Spring
I agree with others here, they should prioritize performance instead of graphics or even better; gives us the option to choose between Cinematic mode and Gameplay mode.

@bluesdance true and thats why this has my attention.
Re: Jools Watsham Gives An Update On Atooi's Magnum Opus, Treasurenauts

Re: Rumour: Get That Pinch Of Salt Ready, Apparently Microsoft Is Preparing To Buy Electronic Arts
I hope this happens, maybe this way we will see all EA games on Switch.
Re: Olé! Sales Of Nintendo Switch In Spain Have Now Surpassed Xbox One
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I think the Switch will surpass those 3DS figures. Games like Metroid 4, Pokemon Switch, Animal Crossing Switch and Smash DX are still to come. Plus the next Zelda and the next Mario Odyssey.

Re: Retro Rules As Nintendo Switch's ACA Neo Geo Library Hits 1 Million Sales
@crackafreeze I have been waiting for a sale since the first title hit the e-shop, so this is a good idea.
Re: Hello Kitty Kruisers is Racing Onto Switch Both Digitally and Physically
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry but that trailer is so pathetic that it made me laugh.
