@Noelemahc Yeah it's kinda surprising honestly. Kids love Nintendo and Marvel so you'd think it would've happened before now.
Maybe that's why Capcom waited for the Nintendo Direct to reveal this because they know Nintendo fans are the most likely to buy this since we've never had these games and kids are the most likely to jump on the hype train for Spidey and Mega Man if they play Lego Marvel and Smash on Switch.
The fact that MVC has actually never been on a Nintendo console before is especially what makes this notable. As a big fan of Spider-Man and Darkstalkers, I'm hyped that I'll finally be able to get into these games for the first time!
@Polvasti It's still ironic that Blackheart was playable in MVC1 and MVC2 but Ghost Rider didn't become playable until MVC3 and Infinite which didn't have Blackheart.
Bro got scared and left the series when Blaze showed up lol.
I'm gonna go buy this at launch to support them. I love the premise and gameplay structure. Shame that games like this and Unicorn Overlord cause developers to go broke.
@sanderev Sadly it's what prints money. Chasing trends is the current state of the industry. I wouldn't be surprised if this game shuts down within a year of its release like Omega Strikers did and I loved Omega Strikers.
Can't wait. Just hope they up the max ammo count back to how it was in 2016. Eternal's lower max ammo made the game sluggish in comparison. (In 2016 you had 60 shotgun shells at max but only 24 in Eternal for example).
It's a great game and well-deserved. My only gripe is the lack of meaningful outcomes with the in game choices and that the main story missions are few and far between.
Other than that though, the game is amazing and it deserves its fame. 500K in one month for a tactical RPG that isn't Fire Emblem is impressive.
@FX29 Not just that, but I'm also getting some Disgaea vibes (summoning troops from a base panel), Soul Nomad (units are grouped in tile-based arrangements), and even Valkyria Chronicles (real-time elements, capturing forts and needing points to summon more troops).
Doesn't surprise me at all that it's selling better on Switch. Nintendo seemed to be the only platform company that heavily marketed it to the point where the demo for UO launched on Switch first right after the Direct a day before other platforms.
Beyond that, Xbox and PS gamers are likely already preoccupied with recent big RPG releases such as Yakuza Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, and FF7 Rebirth. Since none of those games are on Switch, there's virtually no competition for Unicorn on this platform since Switch owners have no other major RPG to buy right now.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Switch version of UO sold best in all regions too. This system is probably the best place for smaller studios like Vanillaware to thrive.
Yeah not buying this until it goes for more than half off. I bought SMT V for 60 dollars. I'm not spending another 60 dollars on a story expansion for a game I've already played.
Make sure you don't buy Tactica, Reload, or Metaphor at launch. I'm almost certain they're going to do this lousy nonsense again.
Nothing that interests me personally. I'm disappointed by SMT V Vengeance being a separate purchase as someone who owns the original game already. They should at least offer it a reduced price if you have the original version. Not interested in spending another 60 bucks on the same game.
Looks like Kirby meets WarioWare. It's a cool concept and I'm glad Peach is finally being allowed to do her own thing again. Even if this doesn't appeal to me personally, I'm hopeful for the future of the Mario franchise giving us more diverse ways to experience the characters.
Engage was such a great game and a massive step up from Three Houses with far superior gameplay and map designs. Sure, the story was basic but the actual strategy RPG of Engage was so fun that I didn't mind it. Really excited for the future of the series because this game has set a high bar for Fire Emblem gameplay!
Oh I really hope they do a "reboot" game akin to Doom 2016 and Wolfenstein New Order. The id Tech engine is super robust and I would be hyped to see the Strogg in modern graphics.
@tseliot Considering the Future Redeemed expansion just came out a year ago, it'll probably be a while before we get any more news regarding Monolith Soft and Xenoblade as they're probably working on it as we speak.
Xenoblade 4 may not be a thing until the next Switch comes out.
The people complaining about Trophies missing have to understand that making 3D models and text blurbs for every single object/character took a lot of work considering they had to be translated into various languages from Japanese such as English, Spanish, French, and so on.
While I get why people don't like Spirits, it was a bit unreasonable to expect them to continue adding more and more Trophies when there's so many franchises represented in this game. They weren't going to stay forever. Spirits are a good compromise.

At least we still have Smash. Hopefully the upcoming new Fatal Fury doesn't fall victim to this stuff.
Re: Mortal Kombat Studio NetherRealm Is Reportedly Facing Layoffs
With MK1 being their worst-reviewed game this is no surprise. The folks at the bottom always suffer losses before those at the top.

Re: Yes, The Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Is Getting A Physical Release
After the absolute travesty that was MVC Infinite, it's nice to see both companies bring back the games in the series that are actually good.
Now it begs wondering if we'll ever get a modern port of UMVC3.

Re: Nintendo Confirms June Direct To Boost An Otherwise Quiet Year For Switch
As others have said, I don't expect much other than ports/remakes/remasters to pad things out until the next big system arrives.
Would be a great time for that rumored Fire Emblem 4 remake.
Re: Nintendo Switch "Successor" Announcement Is Coming "This Fiscal Year"
@sanderev
They announced MP4 for Switch. No way would they suddenly tell nearly 150 million people they can't buy it.
Re: Nintendo Switch "Successor" Announcement Is Coming "This Fiscal Year"
Willing to bet Pokemon ZA and Metroid Prime 4 are going to be announced as cross-gen games for both systems.

Re: New Unicorn Overlord Survey Gauges Interest In Sequel
Absolutely. I would love another game set in the same world but on a different continent with new characters like Fire Emblem Gaiden.
Re: Vanillaware's Unicorn Overlord Has Now Sold Over 500k Units Worldwide

Re: UK Charts: Unicorn Overlord Plummets As Familiar Faces Return To The Top
Nice to see UO still selling well on Switch even if it has dropped. This is normal for RPGs.
Re: Japanese Charts: Unicorn Overlord Dominates In Its Debut Week
@IndoorEnthusiast
It's a niche game. It selling this much is impressive.
Re: Japanese Charts: Unicorn Overlord Dominates In Its Debut Week
Switch version sold twice as much as the PS5 version and 5x as much as the PS4 version.
That shows you where the fans of these games are.
Re: UK Charts: Unicorn Overlord Makes The Top Ten And Sells Best On Switch
@FX29
Not just that, but I'm also getting some Disgaea vibes (summoning troops from a base panel), Soul Nomad (units are grouped in tile-based arrangements), and even Valkyria Chronicles (real-time elements, capturing forts and needing points to summon more troops).
UO feels like a love letter to the genre!
Re: UK Charts: Unicorn Overlord Makes The Top Ten And Sells Best On Switch

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Doubles The Length Of The Original
Yeah not buying this until it goes for more than half off. I bought SMT V for 60 dollars. I'm not spending another 60 dollars on a story expansion for a game I've already played.
Make sure you don't buy Tactica, Reload, or Metaphor at launch. I'm almost certain they're going to do this lousy nonsense again.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Confirmed For Switch, Adds New Chapter & Storyline
@Edwirichuu
Not really justified in the slightest. I'm not paying 60 dollars for a game I've already played.
I'll just wait for it to go on sale for less than half price. I'm not paying full price for a story expansion.
Re: Nintendo Direct February 2024: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
Nothing that interests me personally. I'm disappointed by SMT V Vengeance being a separate purchase as someone who owns the original game already. They should at least offer it a reduced price if you have the original version. Not interested in spending another 60 bucks on the same game.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Confirmed For Switch, Adds New Chapter & Storyline
This is annoying. People who own SMT V should be able to just buy the new storyline separately...

Re: Fire Emblem Engage Celebrates First Anniversary With 'Emblem Ring' Capsule Toy Line
Man I wish they'd do some amiibo to celebrate. Sucks how Fire Emblem amiibo has pretty much died in the post-3DS era (Smash notwithstanding).
I'd do anything for amiibo of the Three House leaders and the Four Engage Royals.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Artist Celebrates First Anniversary With New Artwork
@GinMiguel
Fair enough. Though I disagree on FE being over-represented. That's not the problem.
Other franchises like Zelda and Kirby are under-represented and need more characters.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Artist Celebrates First Anniversary With New Artwork
@GinMiguel
Heroes is Nintendo's highest grossing mobile game and Smash is the best selling fighting game of all time.
These aren't going anywhere lol.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Artist Celebrates First Anniversary With New Artwork
Hard to imagine a year has passed already.
Engage was such a great game and a massive step up from Three Houses with far superior gameplay and map designs.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's New Spirits Have Been Revealed, Out This Week
