@NEStalgia :"That's Switch this time. Japanese Ys VIII sales on Switch weren't spectacular because most their potential customers already played the game years ago when it was released on Vita, it wasn't new there like it was here when it released on Switch."

NO ! Because the Switch version was low resolution and not 60fps butter smooth like it was on PS4 and the price , my gosh, the price $60 on Switch $20 on PS4...

@DarkLloyd

Man, if people are ready to pay 60 bucks for only 3 old games... just use your common sense :

@Anri02

For the next generation the difference between an Xbox Scarlett and a PC will be probably 0.01% LOL
Now, if you check on what platforms they have released their games recently :

PS4 and Windows for the most part.

I let you think about what's next... ^^

@sanderev

You know what I mean !

@NEStalgia

I think there is a language for the customers and another one for internal talks.

Nihon Falcom has made 8 games on PS4 :

Ys Origin
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV
Tokyo Xanadu

You objectively think that they're going to stop on PS5 ?
I'm ready to bet with you bruh ! ;D

And as usual, when you have to pay on Switch, it's free somewhere else...

Welcome to reality !

This is the result when you don't want to have a solid hardware with Specs of today.
Nihon Falcom are busy developing games for the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett... they don't have time to put on an outdated system.

Why do you think Capcom ports only old games on the Switch ?
They do the same...

More I see where we go with the industry, more I start to think to focus on games from the past and play them on their original hardwares.

The Switch is probably my last console from Nintendo.
This generation is the worst that I experienced since I started to play.

Actually I'm playing Lunar on the original PlayStation and guess what... it's better than everything I played from the launch of the Switch until now.
It's a real problem I think. We are talking about RE4, a game that I bought on the GameCube, available on PS2, Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, PC and now the Switch.

When Capcom is going to stop ? RE4 on PS5 and XBOX Scarlett ? Come onnnnnn...

This man is the PINNACLE of mankind !

It was the first time of my entire life that I cried for somebody that I never met in real life when he past away.

I consider Satoru Iwata as a modern hero, half man half angel.

He is a model for all of us.

Game Freak is lazzy and doesn't care about the players anymore.
They know that if they put the name Pokémon on whatever they want, it's going to sell like skyrocket.

This is a great video to watch :

Game Freak will not get any money from me anymore.

@Krull

You're going to adore it, I swear it's impossible to not be in love with it.

@Wazeddie22

How dare you sell these wonderful games ?

This is pure gold... the weekend is going to be tremendously great.

@Balta666

Think a little more deeply dude.
The Switch is a concept that allows you TO SWITCH between handheld and docked mode : it's the CORE feature... guess what ?
Nintendo SWITCH LITE is coming.

Hope you're going to understand by yourself. ^^

I copy/paste what I wrote a week ago already !

The plan is simple to understand.

The Switch in itself is gonna become a portable only. You'll be able to plug it on the TV but it's going to be considered as an "extra".
I can clearly see a "Power Dock" coming to simplify the ports of PS5/Scarlett to Nintendo's machine.

To make it short, Nintendo has "pre-sold" their "NEXTGEN" already.
Every Switch owner will have to buy the new dock to get better experience on their TV sets.

PS : the Switch mini is part of that strategy too BTW. (reducing the price of the system with no joycons anymore will be a great way to drop the price to $199).

WHAT ?

I thought the price was 199... which is already too expensive for what it is BTW but at 230 NO WAY.

The SWITCH with NO SWITCHING...
The SWITCH with unplayable Nintendo labo...
The SWITCH with a non existing "2 players mode"...

I love today's marketing.

@Spanjard I copy past my post again, sooooo.... what you said ? LOL

What a masterpiece, probably the best game I played this year.

A small studio that makes a better game than the majority of the AAA's.

I want this game as much as I want to die.

Astral Chain, and nothing else matter.

@Timsworld2

It's a major mistake to do what NL did.

From a publisher stand point :
"Wow that's great ! We don't have to take care about our games on Switch because the review will be good, whatever we work seriously on it or not !"

From a gamer stand point :
"Wow, I thought that game was a disgrace but NL says that it's a good game so I'm going to listen and buy that good game !"

When you discover your $40 game at home, in this state, broken, buggy, with crappy visuals, input lag, compressed sound quality, crashes etc... You can't be confident for the future reviews anymore...

7/10 ? Wow I don't know if I have to laugh or to cry ?

I thought NL will give a 5/10 because I know how generous the site is, but 7/10 for the Switch version of the game IT'S NOT PROFESSIONAL.

If I had to review the game on Switch it'll get a 3/10. I don't care that Iga is behind the project or not, I just see a broken game and a broken game deserve a bad score.

@Lord

It's the absolute opposite.
Microsoft will come with a machine with a drive.
The sell numbers of the XBOX ONE all digital are so bad that the previous plan to have 2 consoles at launch is already killed.

Now, it'll be only one system, powerful and with a drive.

The gap between Nintendo and SONY/MS is going to be so huge in terms of power and rendering that they're right when they say that they don't see Nintendo as a rival.

If Nintendo stays the way it is and doesn't come up with a new powerful system anymore, be sure that BIGN won't be a rival anymore.

Edit : Erased.

@sanderev It's dirt cheap because that service is the crapiest ever.

Seriously, it's free on Wii U, I stay with Super Mario Maker.

PS : And I'd like to say that Mario Maker(game+artbook+Free Online) on Wii U was 34.99 at launch where I live.
Mario Maker 2 is expensiver + you don't have an artbook + you have to pay for the Online Service ? Please Nintendo GIVE ME A BREAK !

Super Mario Maker 2 is a trojan horse to "force" gamers to subscribe to the Online Service, that's simple as that.

PCKID out !

@RevampedSpider

Rare doesn't exist anymore. The Stamper brothers created something special. When Nintendo sold their stock market shares to Microsoft it was already half-dead.
Today, Rare is only a logo and that's all.

@NEStalgia

NSO is a real dealbreaker for me. The Gamepad is missing too.
This is too much for me.

I'm not sold at all.
I keep my WiiU version, I don't need the second entry.

And to have to pay for an Online Service to get everything out of this game, IT'S OUT OF QUESTION.

I keep my money for Astral Chain.

They can count on me !

I'm going to buy everything !

At least, the logo is a perfect match with the quality of their games since they're Microsoft's possession...

@60frames-please

I made a little stuff quickly for you.
Bloodstained 2D.

This is the only game that I'm going to play on the Switch this year.
Platinum for ever.
I'm tired of all these ports and remastered. The Switch needs more games like this one.

@NotTelevision

A plague Tale : Innocence is probably the best surprise I got this year.
It's superb.

I'm blown away by a game that nobody promotes and I don't understand why because it's a masterpiece.

A Plague Tale Innocence.

@Meowskers

I said that with Super Mario Maker WiiU, I can play levels, I can build levels, I can share levels, I can play levels from my friends on my friendlist, I can play levels from unknown people.

In Super Mario Maker 2, I have no choice than to pay for the Online Service if I want to have the same experience.

In the end, I'm not going to buy the Online Service and I'm going to skip the game too. I'll continue to play Super Mario Maker on WiiU.

@Wavey84

I have the same configuration 4K 65", so I totally understand what you said.
720p is related to the XBOX360 era for me, it's difficult to imagine that is about 15 years. In early 2000's it was fantastic because TV's were HD Ready but it's almost 2020 now.

@Morph You're right on that but Yoshi's Crafted World, as an example, is not fluid from the launch until today, so...

@rjejr

I meant that on the WiiU you can build your stages (which is a big part of Super Mario Maker) and make your friends play them.
Here on the Switch, you're screwed if you're not paying for the online service.

And guess what, it's even worst than what I thought.
Check that :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oEG1ICHiv8

if it's true, it's a shame.

@Morph A game goes "GOLD" almost a month before the release date.
It's not 3 but 2 months left, but I personally don't care because I'm not going to buy it. I still prefer the original on my GB.

The only solo game that you have to pay for an online service to play 100%.
I keep my WiiU Mario Maker, it's free to play there.

To be honest, the WiiU became my favorite system when it's about Nintendo.
I regret how stupid I was to pretend that the Switch was 1 Million times better at launch.
The reality is that I prefer almost everything on the WiiU compare to the Switch.
For example, the joycons are awful compare to the gamepad. The pro controller is way better on WiiU too.

@Morph

Not really.
I think that the Switch has performence issues.
And the crazy thing is that I can clearly see that Link's Awakening comes from a 3DS project.

I ask myself how a game like this one can't be fluid ?
I'm serious about it. What makes the game that choppy ?
The game is even not running at 1080p.

I really hope they're going to do something about the performences before the launch.

I just finish the game on Xbox One and I'm disappointed.

Order of Ecclesia is a million times better. Keep your cash for something else guys.

The price is not correct at all for what it is.

A real Zelda game at the same price that no problem but a cadence game ehm ehm, no way.

A good price will be $15.

I simply refuse to buy it.

It's 2019 and what I see could be great on Gamecube in early 2000 years but seriously it's laziness at its best.

I liked the visuals but the game was not great at all.
I have a huge respect for the people behind this game because I clearly saw what they wanted to achieve... but they failed...

It's a 6/10 for me.
