@Fandabidozi Is the demo the first part of the game?

@thesilverbrick Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido.

@Paraka You can like some games of a company, but you don't have to be a fan of that company or like other games of that company. Not everyone who likes or praises Splatoon and/or Mario is a Nintendo fan. I like God of War, but I don't think I'm a Sony fan. I think you can replace "Nintendo fans" in your post with "some people."

@Paraka How do you know that they are Nintendo fans? Not everyone who comments on Nintendo products is a Nintendo fan.

@Kunteper @westman98 Thanks.

@westman98 Where did you get the Steam number?

@Stryker89 Which thread? Do you have a link? Edit: Never mind. I found it.

@impurekind I don't see any Japanese in the logo.

@impurekind What do you mean by "most powerful"?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Fe.

@gaga64 Emily Rogers was right about everything about the Switch:
"Custom Nvidia GPU chip
Region Free (No region lock)
Six inch (6.2 inch?) multi-touch screen (Heard nothing about a stylus)
The touchscreen has 720p resolution.
32GB of built-in internal storage
SD card support
Supports USB 2.0 and 3.0
The dock has two 2.0 usb ports and one 3.0 usb port.
The portable device is around 14 – 15 mm in thickness.
The right analogue stick (or circle pad?) will be below the face buttons.
Camera and microphone are not built into/inside the NX (Switch) portable device.
Cooling is still a little noisy
Detachable controllers (motion controls and next-gen vibration technology) <– Everything Laura Kate Dale said in her article was correct.
Share / Social button that Laura Kate Dale posted is true.
There are at least two shoulder buttons.
Battery Life — Ehhh not great. I haven’t heard an exact number of hours, but it doesn’t sound great.
Below PS4 and XB1 in raw power.
Supports Unreal Engine 4 and Unity Engine."

@NotSoCryptic Your wrote so much, but communicated so little. Everyone knows that the Switch is weaker than the PS4. Sony won't release a PS4 Portable/Hybrid because it must be as powerful as the base PS4 model, which is impossible, or the battery will last only less than an hour, or it will cost $800.

@QwertyQwerty "So let's say, hypothetically, Amazon decides that a title is mid tier and slaps a $40 price tag on it. The RRP comes out and it's $50. But due to the Amazon preorder guarantee, they are obligated to sell it at $40 to those who pre-order.

So what's the solution, and one we've seen employed since the launch of the platform? If in doubt, it's a full price release - like a tag of $60."

If that is the case, they can just set the prices of all titles to $1,000. There is no need to set different prices.

@jariw "Projecting even more positive signs, Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima recently spoke to the Kyoto Shimbun newspaper, setting a goal for the Switch to shift another 20 million units in the next financial year (ending in March 2019)."

@Marios-love-child The Switch sold 10 million units in 9 months even with serious stock shortage issues. I don't think it's too ambitious to plan to ship 20 million units in FY 2018.

@Anti-Matter How many かんじ do you know?

@JayJ Knowing just ひらがな characters isn't enough to understand Japanese text. It's like you hope to understand English text by just learning the English alphabet. Also, ひらがな is just one of the three main sets of characters used in Japanese.

@RainbowGazelle You didn't say that. This article is about the delay of 64 GB game cards, and you said that it was one of the main reasons you weren't buying a Switch. In my opinion, that's a very poor reason, but that's okay. You don't even need a reason to not buy a console. It's your choice to buy or not buy any console. However, if your reason is what you said later, you hadn't made it clear at first. That's why you got that response.

@sillygostly To be fair, RainbowGazelle's comment can be taken as a trolling. It probably wasn't his intention, but it can be interpreted that way.

@Razer Gematsu is a website that reports Media Create results. It also reports video game news. If you look at the article, you will see that NintendoLife cites Gematsu. Media Create is reliable. It was founded in 1998. You can cross-check its data with Famitsu's data. I don't think Media Create discloses its sources, but if you think about it logically, Nintendo, Sony, and many Japanese video game companies wouldn't let Media Create spread misinformation every week. According to Nintendo, the Switch sold 10 million units in 9 months. This means that the average global sales per month from March 2017 to November 2017 is about 1.11 million units.

By the way, I don't see the global sales numbers of the PS4 and Switch in November 2017 on the page you linked.

@Razer Maybe you don't know that NintendoLife reports Media Create sales regularly for a long time. They reported them before the Switch was released.

"Global sales for PS4 by end of Nov was 845k

Nintendo by end of Nov was 419k...................."

I don't know about the PS4 number, but the Switch number is obviously wrong. According to Media Create, the Switch sold 436,927 units in Japan during 11/6/17 to 12/3/17:
https://gematsu.com/2017/11/media-create-sales-11617-111217
https://gematsu.com/2017/11/media-create-sales-11-13-17-11-19-17
https://gematsu.com/2017/11/media-create-sales-11-20-17-11-26-17
https://gematsu.com/2017/12/media-create-sales-11-27-17-12-3-17

Do you have a source? I want to know which website provides this false information.

@Gaeus The sales number is incorrect. Even if he means the sales in the US and Europe, it's still highly unlikely to be true.

@kobashi100 Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 are two separate games. I don't think it makes sense to put them on a single game card. If you put multiple games on a single game card, you will need to add additional code to let the player select a game, and I don't think the additional code is warranted in this case.

@raisenv The reason is probably the same as the reason that the PS4 sells much better than the PS4 Pro in Japan.

@NewAdvent It's a given that Bayonetta 2, Kirby, and Yoshi won't be the only first-party games that will release next year. It's rumored that there will be a Nintendo Direct in January 2018. Let's see what Nintendo has to offer.

According to VGChartz, Kirby: Planet Robobot sold 0.21 million copies in Europe. Not great, but it's decent. Yoshi's Woolly World sold 0.51 million copies in Europe. That's a good number. I don't know why you think that new Kirby and Yoshi games will sell poorly in Europe.

@PlywoodStick Pokken Tournament DX sells well. It's a third-party game.

@NewAdvent I believe many Switch owners who don't have a Wii U want to play Bayonetta 2.

@Agramonte I see. AFAIK, NintendoLife doesn't usually report NPD results. I think it's as @Gerbwmu said that NintendoLife reports NPD results when Nintendo has statements on them. So in this case, I don't think NintendoLife cherry-picks NPD results.

@WhistleFish Some people don't have multiple consoles. Even one has multiple consoles, I don't see what's wrong with wanting options. If you have a PS4 and a Switch, wouldn't it be nice if games you want to play were available on both platforms, so you could choose which version to buy or buy both versions if you want? I don't understand why you think begging/requesting for ports is a bad thing. I don't see how it will negatively affect you or other people when some people want some games to come to the Xbox One, PS4, Switch, or PC. Regarding the sales, it is no secret that the Switch has been selling very well globally, so I don't know what you mean by the spin. Of course, I'm quite sure that the Switch or any console doesn't sell well in some countries, but it would be cherry-picking to select a country that it doesn't sell well and ignore the global sales.

@WhistleFish @FragRed You made it sound like begging for ports is a bad thing. It's very normal to want to play games on your consoles. I think you're weird if you buy consoles and don't want to play games on them.

@Agramonte What NPD chart are you talking about? Does it have sale numbers?

@WhistleFish You laugh because the Switch has been selling very well globally and in Japan, and you think that fans shouldn't be happy because it doesn't sell well in some countries? I think your reason for laughing is very strange.

@JHDK I think you overreacted. Yes, it was unfortunate, and Nintendo should have done better, but it's not a big deal to have to delay playing a game or spending money for one day. As some users pointed out, other systems had issues as well. As for the paid online service, it would be great for consumers if it was delayed.

@Cosats All reviews are opinions. You can't review something without expressing your opinions. If you don't agree that this is a great game, you can state your reasons.

"They are written from specialist authors that try to convey the average feeling of a game for a video game player to decide about purchase"

Yes, and they are opinions of the reviewers.

@vio How do you know that ARMS doesn't have a large, passionate community? How did you measure that?

@vio In that case, most games are failures because most games are less successful than Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Exclusive games that sold more than one million copies are successful. Do you think Fire Emblem: Awakening is a failure as well?

@maruse https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/c/article/67b3f436-e451-11e7-8cda-063b7ac45a6d.html

@vio A game that sold more than one million copies is a failure?

@Azikira I don't know why it's difficult to understand. Capcom is going to release the English version in Japan instead of the Japanese version. Do you think they should do that? I don't understand why you're confused. Do you think it's okay if Capcom releases the Japanese version in the US?

@retro_player_22 It's clearly stated in the article that Capcom does that.

@JaxonH Does the performance improvement noticeable with the latest Rocket League patch?

@Cosats The audio issues are known issues.

It's possible that Reggie means recent sales, not lifetime sales. In that case, it's possible that 1/4 of new Switch owners buy Splatoon 2.

@Aerona He's wrong. Splatoon 2 sold 3.61 million copies as of September 30, 2017. @SwitchVogel You should update the article.

@PorllM I heard that the frame rate dropped in the Switch version.

@Strix At this rate, it's possible that the Switch will outsell the Nintendo 64 (and maybe the Xbox One) by the end of next year, provided that there are no serious stock shortage issues.

@gortsi I don't think some enthusiastic people are irrational because of their enthusiasm. Some people are irrational, and it has nothing to do with their interests. For example, a Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft/Google/Facebook/Amazon fan who is irrational doesn't become rational when he stops being a Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft/Google/Facebook/Amazon fan. In my opinion, it's a misconception to associate fans and irrationalness.

@rjejr I'm not sure, but in theory if you ignore a user, you shouldn't receive notifications when he replies to your posts.

@rjejr "This site is a lot better than that place by a mile, but if I were getting dozens of replies in my in-box, every single time I posted, I'd stop posting too"

Why not ignore users whom you don't want to receive replies from?

@james_squared Or you can do both.

@gatorboi352 The Wii version of Resident Evil 4 sold 2.22 million copies. The 3DS version of Resident Evil: Revelations sold 0.89 million copies.

@Eigotaku Nice. Thanks for the information.

@Eigotaku Both English audio and text or only text? What about the first game?

@nab1 What about Street Fighter? Is there any point in playing Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, Super Street Fighter II, Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Street Fighter III, and Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact?

@WhistleFish Thanks for the information. Apparently, the Japanese version of the Special Edition of Bayonetta also comes with two game cards.

@SupremeAllah You can't.

@CuriousUserX90 I think it's a given that Mario Kart 9 will come to the Switch.

@Sanangelo89 Both games take up about 32 GB of storage space. Doom uses a 16 GB game card, so if you understand Doom, you will understand this as well. I don't like how Doom handles the download data, though, because patches and the multiplayer part are combined. This means that the download isn't really optional.

By the way, the PS Vita version of Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster doesn't come with a separate game card for Final Fantasy X-2. It's available as download only. It's no secret that game cards are more expensive than Blu-ray Discs.

@rjejr As @link3710 said. The game should be great if it takes this long to develop. It would be nice if Nintendo announced it in the next Nintendo Direct.
