Re: The Pokémon Company Just Recorded Its Second Best Year In History

Not surprising. It was a big 12 months for Pokémon. Go continued to earn big, Detective Pikachu did great at the box office & on home release, and Sword & Shield sold supremely well. I’ve enjoyed what Pokémon has done this year all around and hope these large profits allow them to invest more into bigger and better experiences.

So it’s looks like SwSh will definitely move into 3rd place with 2nd a real possibility as well. I expect an uptick in sales with the release of the DLC packs.

I know the game has been decisive but I really enjoyed it and I’m glad it’s sold exceptionally well. Hopefully the keep building and pushing the series further. There were some great things about the game but plenty of room for improvement still. I’m looking forward to jumping back in come June’s update.

Re: EA Set To Launch "Multiple" Titles On Nintendo Switch In 2020

@rockodoodle I think NBA2K might be even more skewed away from Switch. Have you seen the online community for it? Totally dominated by PS4 players.

I am not saying this to hate. I play my Switch 10x more than my PS4 but sports games & Nintendo haven’t had the best relationship in some time. I mean, Madden hasn’t been on a Nintendo console since 2012 and hasn’t been “equal” to the version on other consoles since the GameCube days (Maybe even SNES).

All that being said, I’d go nuts for a Madden 21 on Switch that could match what Madden 20 was on PS4/XBO but even that seems like a stretch.

Breaking down the sales by platform, the game sold best on the PlayStation 4 with 3,363,237 units sold (78%), compared to 797,024 units sold on the Xbox One (19%). The game also sold 134,102 units on the Nintendo Switch (3%), 8,429 units on the PlayStation 3 (0%), and 6,613 units on Xbox 360 (0%).Feb 1, 2019

I messed up. That was simply launch week #s, not the whole year BUT I still think it paints the same picture in the end. Even IF Nintendo quadrupled its interest, that’s still only 12%.

And FIFA is a lot more popular globally than Madden. If any of you guys what to quote me on this and check back during football season I’d be happy to talk again in the fall.

@graysoncharles @rockodoodle This is EA we’re talking about. How many other “no brainers” have they whiffed on with Switch.

EA is going to be dumping massive money and time into making Madden for PS5/Series X. Switch definitely will not be getting that version of Madden and I doubt it would even get a legacy version.

78% of FIFA’s sales were on PS4 with only 3% on Switch. I LOVE my Switch but Nintendo has never been the go to for sports games, especially not Madden. I’ll put Madden 21 in the slim-to-none bucket (but I’d love to be wrong).

Re: The Pokémon Company Apologises For Featuring Dewgong In The Fourth Episode Of Twilight Wings

I wish they didn’t include Dewgong just so this tiresome argument about the national dex wouldn’t have come back up again.

While I do think Game Freak handled the situation poorly I don’t think excluding some prior Pokémon is such a big deal.

I actually am cool with DLC. Much prefer it to “Ultra” forms of the game. Even if you don’t buy the DLC, at least you can still access the new Pokémon that get added. I would have had a problem if they were locked behind a paywall.

Side note: Episode 4 was awesome & Nessa is the best new gym leader.

Honestly, I find my Nintendo mostly useless. It starts and ends with the gold coin discounts. Besides that, there isn’t a thing to do with it as a Switch owner.

I’d love to see Nintendo get more creative with it: Game discounts (Gold coins or %), NSO subscription discounts, maybe be able to cash coins in for a weekly game trials (like how they made Mario Tennis free for a week to try), discounts on physical items. Let me cash in some coins for a coupon that gets me a % off on joy-cons or other accessories via the Nintendo online store, etc
