I was wondering why when I played the Spirit Board yesterday, those Monster Hunter spirits were present. I was ecstatic. Now I currently have every single available spirit.
@Ventilator Not to be argumentative, but please believe me when I tell you Sony fans weren't the only ones clamoring for Bayo 2. Xbox fans was up in arms as well. So yeah both Xbox and PS regretted it. I didn't care about them crying about it not being on their platform of choice. Get a Nintendo console if you want to play the game. Same with Bayo 3. You want it....get a Switch!
@Ventilator He also went to Xbox as well to see about funding for Bayo 2. It wasn't just Sony. Glad Nintendo stepped up. I bet they're both biting themselves in the ass for that decision to not help out with funding.
I got this for both PS3 and XBLA, so unfortunately it's a no. I can't justify the 599 price tag when I'm still trying to secure a PS5/Series X. Now if they restock that TMNT Arcade 1Up, I would definitely bite.
@Wexter Actually it was Sony who asked MS from cross play years ago. MS didn't want to play ball because the 360 was ahead. When the tables turned last gen, it was MS who was asking Sony. Naturally Sony said no, and MS wanted to paint narratives to make Sony look bad. Funny everyone forgets that.
@anoyonmus I honestly believe it would be better on PSVR. No diss to Labo, but it doesn't compare to PSVR. Then again, I'm not here to debate on what's better and such. I want everyone to be able to enjoy this in the best possible way.
The best experience would definitely be with Nintendo and PlayStation.
@TheFullAndy You don't have to defend Nintendo to me. I would say the same if it was the other way around. Right now, it's Nintendo. There's a lot of intangibles with outselling them combined, but I digress. I shouldn't take that away from Nintendo's success. It is a milestone.
@Faucet Nah. The Switch is at it's peak right now. Historically, we've never seen launch consoles beat out a console whose at the top of the market (ex PS4 and Switch). Now Switch is the big dawg now and PS5 and XSX are the new guys coming in. No one is beating the Switch right now. Not at least for another year. The PS5 and XSX will only sell out of their stock, but not enough to contend with Switch. Next holiday will be more interesting, but certainly not this one. This is a no brainer.
@Retro_Player_77 You need to remember that the IP of Cuphead doesn't belong to MS, it belongs to Studio MDHR. Also know that the deal for Minecraft was penned long before MS acquired Mojang. So no Xbox isn't doing PlayStation any favors. The timed deal is expired and Cuphead was free to go. Xbox is doing Nintendo a favor by releasing Cuphead and both Ori games.
I bet it's timed for Switch in the west. It's no way (unless Nintendo paid them for exclusivity in the west) that this will stay exclusive westward. This, for the most part, has always been on PS systems almost exclusively up until the last game.
@Lord Did I miss where they said that the mainline games would never come to Nintendo platforms? I seriously doubt that will happen. I believe they are making it for Switch. COVID more than likely got in the way of that. Also it's not like the XBox got the collection before they got KH3. It came afterwards. Same thing will probably happen here. I know I have nothing but speculation here, but if it came to an Xbox console....it will damn sure come to a Nintendo console where it already has an established fanbase of the series.
@Ultrasmiles I don't think any PlayStation owners thought they were getting a true Pokemon game knowing it's exclusively for Nintendo. This will be the closest any PS fans will get to Pokemon. It looks pretty good to be honest.
@westman98 ?!?!?! Horizon ripped of Zelda? Are you implying that or did I misread it? Please tell me you don't believe that if you are implying/saying that.
@RPGamer Nothing wrong with wanting exclusives from others. I was only pointing out that DX11 wasn't exclusive to Switch in the first place. So that wouldn't be a trade off between the consoles. That's all. I do think games like Persona, KH, and others should come to Switch. Also any good notable games that aren't first party to go from Switch to other platforms.
@Highlar It was announced for Switch and PS4...in Japan. They never said anything about it coming to the west. Just that Xbox and PC would have it. I'm almost positive that Xbox paid for timed exclusivity to keep it from coming to the west. I have no proof of that though.
@RPGamer This game was on PS4 before it was on the Switch. How does that constitute getting exclusives from PS and XBox when the game itself wasn't exclusive in the first place? Just some of the content was exclusive.

@HammerGalladeBro Could be added as DLC later on?
Re: Dragon Quest X Offline Has Been Confirmed For Switch, Launches In Japan Next February
@Nameless_Shame I doubt it would exclusive to PS5. Switch's audience is too huge to dismiss. Especially seeing the other games are already on Switch.
Re: Random: Sakurai Seems To Be Finally Taking A Break From Smash Bros. Development, With The PS5
I don't see ANY dust or smudges in his place. This dude is a clean freak. Well...he's barely home anyway. Good on Sakurai to finally be able to relax.
Re: Random: Wait A Sec, That Sure Looks Like Mario In Sonic The Hedgehog's Marble Zone
I wouldn't be surprised if that was intentional. Just to keep folks speculating back then.

Re: House Of The Dead: Remake Shoots To Switch Later This Year
@anoyonmus Nah I can see PC and Xbox getting this too.
Re: Rumour: Is Something Going On Between Microsoft And Nintendo?
Rare Replay, Banjo, and/or Killer Instinct would be fabulous on the Switch.
Re: No Joke, PlatinumGames Is Releasing Sol Cresta On The Nintendo Switch
As soon as this game is talked about AFTER today...I'll treat it accordingly.
Re: Anime App Funimation Launches On Nintendo Switch In The UK And Ireland Today
@arrmixer I don't have issues on PS4 with the other apps. However, Funimation is suspect on PS4. Which is ironic seeing as it's a property of Sony.
Re: The Guys Behind Streets Of Rage 4 And Scott Pilgrim Are Making A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game
THIS is what I've been waiting on. A true proper TMNT game that emulates the old games.

@Ajent RIGHT!!!!
Re: Reminder: Persona 5 Strikers Launches Today On Nintendo Switch
@Crono1973 It was a simultaneous release with the PS4. Oh and yes...the Switch can definitely run it.

Re: Switch Predicted To Be Best-Selling Console This Holiday Season In The US
@Cosats No where as big as the Switch's drift problem. It's not really comparable.

Re: Nintendo Is Being Sued Over Joy-Con Drift Yet Again, This Time By A Child
@Ghostchip I'm not sure. I live in Allentown, PA now. Still I was born and raised in Cleveland and go there to visit family often.
Re: Nintendo Is Being Sued Over Joy-Con Drift Yet Again, This Time By A Child
@rjejr Oh wow. I'm embarrassed. 😖 My fault for assuming. I saw Huntington and Ohio, so I made the correlation there.
Re: Nintendo Is Being Sued Over Joy-Con Drift Yet Again, This Time By A Child
@rjejr I use to bank with Huntington a long time ago. I'm from Cleveland, OH btw.

Either way, this is big for the Switch crowd.
Re: Review: Bounty Battle - A Reprehensible Indie-Infused Take On Super Smash Bros.
@AlexSora89 PSABR was a great game though. Folks didn't like it because it was too close to Smash. I hope they come out with another one to be honest.
Re: Feature: Kingdom Hearts: Melody Of Memories Directors On Retelling The Series' Story And Working With Disney

@TheWingedAvenger Ummmm no. Those aren't the best 10 games on either of those systems. Just wow!
Re: Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes Of An Elusive Age - Definitive Edition Is No Longer Exclusive To Switch
@Isaix Switch DEFINITELY needs to get Nier Automata. I still don't understand why that game isn't out on Switch yet.
