It's an odd choice, but it doesn't look like the most technically demanding game. Maybe they're focusing on the platforms where power isn't an issue and then scaling back to the Switch.
But the original Soul Hackers was on PlayStation and we've seen SMT on Xbox before....I suppose it isn't too strange.
@Willo567 That's a good point, I guess we will have to wait and see how many corners they have cut. I'm sure it's easier to upgrade a course from MK Tour for Switch than it is to optimize a course from MK8. But the effort they put into overhauling courses like Ribbon Road set a high standard!
...but I'll shut up, we all know that I will buy and enjoy the courses regardless
But we also agree to these terms whenever we buy a game digitally, we just don't read it. And realistically we have had years to buy these games! There are plenty of 3DS/Wii U titles I never had the time or money for and it hasn't been the end of the world.
I'm tempted to buy some VC games, but I don't really use those consoles anymore. And they're still fun...but compared to the Switch they incredibly slow home menus.
At least these consoles are reasonably easy to emulate? I guess that's a last resort.
@popey1980 It might get more updates, but I've been doing the same three events for four years at this point. There's only so much they can do.
New Horizons wasn't my favourite AC but it definitely does more than Pocket Camp. The only exception is probably furniture sets, but they require less work compared to the switch.

Re: Promotion Of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Reveal "Significantly Reduced" Due To "Major World Events"
Fair enough, to be honest I prefer a surprise reveal anyway.
Gives us that E3 feeling year-round.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At The New Open World In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
The characters look a bit odd, and it already looks like it's not going to run well.
But they can only improve it from this point! And the rest looks quite nice, or at least better.

Re: UK Charts: Horizon Takes Over Top Spot From Pokémon Legends: Arceus
I guess people really like open world games...but they like ugly ones slightly less.

Re: Old Pokémon Games Are Dominating The 3DS eShop Charts - Is It Thanks To Pokémon Bank?
I was tempted as well, but I can't even transfer all of my Pokémon into the current gen games.
Would rather not transfer my Pokémon if they're held hostage by a Pokémon Home subscription.
Re: GBA Sky Garden Showcased For Mario Kart Tour, Spot The Differences From MK8 Deluxe
It was obvious from the first trailer that the new tracks are from Tour, but are we not getting any anti-gravity sections whatsoever?
Twice the amount of courses is great...but it's odd that half of them will look different and miss this game's gimmick entirely.
Re: Atlus Is Teasing Something On A New Soul Hackers Countdown Website
Would love to see Soul Hackers on Switch, but it would need some serious work.
I thought the 3DS version looked rough at the time...
Re: Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation And DLCs Will Also Disappear From The 3DS eShop
Still don't see how this is any worse than a game going out of print, it's just the modern equivalent.
You still have to buy it at the time, pay too much for it on ebay or emulate it.
Re: Random: "I'm Able To Trust Sony More Than Nintendo" - Japan Reacts To The Closure Of The Wii U And 3DS eShops
Is it unfortunate? Absolutely.
But we also agree to these terms whenever we buy a game digitally, we just don't read it. And realistically we have had years to buy these games!
There are plenty of 3DS/Wii U titles I never had the time or money for and it hasn't been the end of the world.
Re: Poll: The End Is Coming, But How Much Will You Miss The Wii U And 3DS eShop?
I'm tempted to buy some VC games, but I don't really use those consoles anymore.
And they're still fun...but compared to the Switch they incredibly slow home menus.
At least these consoles are reasonably easy to emulate? I guess that's a last resort.
Re: Taking Part In The Nintendo Switch Sports Online Playtest? Make Sure You Keep Your Mouth Shut
But it's sport, where are the spoilers with that? Someone hit a thing and then someone else hit it back?
We're going to know if it's good or bad regardless.
Re: Genshin Impact Creator Announces "Immersive Virtual World Experience" HoYoverse
I don't see this coming to Switch for so many reasons, I wish they would cancel it so every news site doesn't have to reference it.
Re: Random: Brighten Your Beloved's Valentine's Day With A Downloadable Kirby Card
I feel like I would doubt my relationship if someone sent me a valentine's image.
At least make your own!
Re: Gallery: Another Look At The New Musou - Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
Looks good, the original FE warriors felt like it had a lot of missed opportunities.
...but do I need another storyline with this cast? Not at all. Will I buy it anyway - yes
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Is Finally Getting DLC
More than what I asked for and I'm happy with the price.
Some of the courses look a bit odd though? Almost like the colours are so saturated in a way that doesn't match the base game.
Re: YouTube Confirms Copyright Claims On GilvaSunner's Channel Were From Nintendo
Not surprised, it was only a matter of time. I don't see any way that this wouldn't of happened.
It's just annoying that Nintendo's approach is "do it our way or get nothing at all". Especially when they make things so difficult at times.
Re: Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent Is Finally Heading To Mobile In The West
Nice that we're getting it, but a Switch version would be nice.
If we can get that awful mobile version of FFXV then we can get this!
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Japan's Best-Selling Video Game, Ever
I enjoyed it but I wouldn't say it is the best in the series, it felt kind of...hollow?
But it's the best HD game in the series! Amiibo festival isn't taking that title
Re: Nintendo President Reiterates That Switch Is "Just In The Middle Of Its Lifecycle"
We were told that the Wii U was still being supported and then it was axed the next year.
I know the Switch is in a different situation, but it's not like they're going to tell us if something else is coming.
Re: Video: Zelda 64's Lake Hylia Has Been Reimagined In Unreal Engine 5, And It Looks Absolutely Stunning
Technically impressive.....but artistically it's a disaster.
Re: Major Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Update Doubles Visitors And Adds New 'Membership'
@popey1980 It might get more updates, but I've been doing the same three events for four years at this point. There's only so much they can do.
New Horizons wasn't my favourite AC but it definitely does more than Pocket Camp. The only exception is probably furniture sets, but they require less work compared to the switch.
Re: Random: Nintendo Kart Is Trending On Social Media, Following Claims Of Mario Kart 9 Being "In Active Development"
It's safe to assume all of Nintendo's major series are in active development at all times, so that's hardly news.
I'm sure I'll buy it and enjoy it regardless of when it comes out
Re: Best Of 2021: 8 Games That Missed Nintendo Hardware
As someone that loves Atlus games and has for many years....Persona 5 isn't worth all the complaining and whining.
If you were that desperate then you could have bought a PS3, 4, or 5! Pretty sure it runs on emulators too!
Re: Big Brain Academy's First Switch Update Is Now Live, Here's What's Included
Spiders I can understand (if it's realistic), but what has a starfish done to anyone!?
-good luck to any of these people if they get Animal Crossing later on. That might count as a horror game.
Re: This Incredibly Fancy Pokémon Shirt Costs $100, And We're In Love
$100!? But it doesn't even look like there's many Pokémon-themed things on it.
It's a lot of money just to look like someone's dad...
Re: Random: This Guy Has Been Mining Out An Entire Minecraft World For 4 Years, And He's Almost Finished
So who's going to tell him that this legacy won't be remembered? He acts like he's going to remembered for all of history.
That level of delusion is quite impressive though, good for him
Re: Animal Crossing Players Are Finding Fragments On Their Beaches Following Update 2.0.4
I guess that's nice? But they were handing out tons of gyroids already!
Re: Nintendo Announces Massive Sale, 1000+ Games Up To 75% Off (Europe)
I know that Ni No Kuni isn't the remastered edition, but they do this discount ALL. THE. TIME.
Is the Switch port decent? Haven't played it since the PS3 days.
Re: Minecraft Now Has More Than 1 Trillion Views On YouTube
The kids are wild...
Re: Did You Spot This Tasty Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Reference In Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity?
I consider the game a reference in itself, but I should probably try the DLC. Thanks for the reminder
Re: Random: Fancy Dressing Like You're In The Witcher? BlackMilk Has You Covered, You Complete Oddball
The collection is hit or miss for me, but some of the pieces are decent enough.
But realistically I won't be buying any of it at that price
Re: You Can Get Your Official 'Year In Review' Switch Stats Now
Apparently I've lost 15.4 days just playing my Switch this year, and just under a month in 2020.
I feel slightly ill now but I guess it's good to know.
Re: We Have This Person To Thank For Shin Megami Tensei V's Fabulous Hair
Misgendering? In 2021?
...good luck out there
Re: Introducing Sonic Frontiers, Arriving On Nintendo Switch Holiday 2022
I doubt the Switch version will look like this, but it seems interesting?
More interesting than Forces but less exciting than a sequel to Sonic Mania.
Re: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Brings The Fight To Nintendo Switch Next Year
Cool, played P4A but not Ultimax so I'm happy with this.
...and they're including the story from the original while keeping it under £50? Sweet!
Re: Random: Ace Attorney Says OBJECTION! To Drugs In Japanese Anti-Marijuana Campaign
Not sure if marijuana is the biggest danger out there, but it's a funny campaign.
Re: Yes, You Too Can Own A $1,000 Mai Shiranui 1/6 Scale Statue
Is this supposed to be a "sexy pose"?
Just looks like she's giving herself back problems. I guess those are the struggles of being a game character in the real world
Re: Art Of Balance Is The Next Nintendo Switch Online Trial (Europe)
Had no idea that there was a Switch version, but it's great on 3DS and Wii U.
I'd recommend trying/buying it if you haven't already!
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection Is Coming To Switch
As far as Ubisoft games go, this is one of the better options.
...now let's see how broken it is/how huge the download will be.
Re: Handmade Nintendo Christmas Gifts And Crafts - Festive Gaming Stocking Fillers
Some of these things are cute but I can hardly afford all the games I would like. How am I managing these?
...and how big is everyone's stockings? These are worthy of being a main gift, not a side dish 😅
Re: Poll: What's The Worst Legend Of Zelda Game?
Probably Four Swords or Triforce Heroes? As a kid that never had any friends I wasn't particularly impressed
Re: Random: Domino's Is Trying To Lure In New Workers With The Chance Of Winning A Nintendo Switch
So you could win a Switch, but have no time to play it because Jim down the road wants his stuffed crust pizzas?
What a deal!
Re: Video: Go Behind The Scenes With XEL, The "Sci-Fi Zelda-Like" Headed To Switch
I think "Zelda-like" is overselling it.
Is there a genre for "I grew up playing Zelda and now I'm attempting to recreate it in Unreal/Unity"?
It's not as catchy but it's a popular category.
Re: Feature: Psychologists Talk Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0 And Keeping Fun Ahead Of FOMO
@Anti-Matter do you even read the articles at this point? Or are we just heading to the comments to preach?
Re: I'd Rather You Didn't Put Me In Mortal Kombat, Says Keanu Reeves
I wouldn't be keen if I was him either.
Cyberpunk got tons of bad press and he was plastered all over that.
Re: Nintendo Switch Is The UK's Most Wanted Black Friday Tech Deal, Apparently
Well the Switch is easier to find isn't it? And it has years of exclusives for newcomers.
...and realistically it's more popular with parents at Christmas. It's cheaper and I don't need to give up the TV all the time? Sounds like a deal.
Re: Nintendo's American Branch Didn't Like The Idea Of GameCube Being Purple
They didn't want to do a purple console because nobody had done it before? When has Nintendo decided to go for the obvious choice?
-and the whole idea of a console looking too feminine is just ridiculous, but it was decades ago. Purple works for everyone.
Re: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Are Out Today On Switch, Which Version Are You Getting?
I'm still unsure about it. Pearl was my first Pokémon game and I still love Sinnoh, but I'm not sure if I want to return to a version that's worse
Re: Random: You've Met Animal Crossing Grandma, Now It's Time For Shin Megami Tensei Grandma
Damn she's so cool!
My Grandmother just liked a pinot grigio in the afternoon and some murder mysteries in the evenings 😂
