@OorWullie how do I get a screen like this?

@AlexSora89 They are desperate to find the time to play the ridiculous amount of good stuff coming weekly.

@OmegaYato mhhh, 40 millions will be reached by july this year, probably. By the end of march they'll be comfortably sitting on 35 million Switch sold, that's a given. In fact, by revising the forecast they've been pretty conservative, they should have no problem to end the FY at 17,5, maybe 18, which is well over 35 LTD.
About the next FY, they're going to dominate the holiday season again with Pokémon and Animal Crossing, I can see them reach the 20 millions target and get 55 by march 2020.
Tl;dr nope, you're wrong

@Dringo yep, I agree. They clearly expected Labo to move more hardware, but it failed with 1 million units sold

AC is coming very soon, I'm totally sure!

@Dom what about the graphics and the performance side of things? The music? Those are all important elements to me and you completely forgot to mention them. I know maybe it's your style and I respect it, Mitch Vogel's reviews are more linear perhaps, but they're still good to read and always talk about every relevant aspect of a game

@misterMike the Switch is exactly that! Anyway, I always find it amazing that people like you complain about review scores but keep visiting regularly. Because this is a reviews site first and foremost. If you come here for Nintendo news, wouldn't it be more convenient to stay with Gonintendo or Nintendo Everything, both of which provide more and faster news?

@Spoony_Tech there's a trailer on the eShop, iirc

@Varkster nothing. I'm fine with the Switch with near to 70 games owned and counting. I just don't like to pay full price for a game with severe technical faults. It's not a real issue with so much to play, but it still disappoints me a little

Oh Switch, your technical shortcomings annoy me a bit

Oh look, another 10€ game which is 35 because retail. Hard, hard pass

No! It's happening soon!

@johnvboy they will pass the 17M mark by march 31th quite easily, maybe 18. I think the reason why they couldn't get the 20 million is Labo not selling enough hardware, but it was not impossible

@hoopderscotch it doesn't matter, actually. It's 2 Christmas quarters vs. 2 Christmas quarters now, and it will be 3 vs. 3 by February 2020, with the Switch up again

One is the Retro Studios game. The other is Zelda 2D with multiplayer online

Why can't I hold all these eShop games?

@BenAV Same here! Wasn't brave enough to turn up the 3DS since the Switch launched and played it almost every day. I didn't play anything else, actually, despite having a PS4 and a powerful PC (which is my son's reign), the Switch is just all I need.
I have "just" 15 retail games and 50-60 eShop ones, though

@BenAV wow, you really like your Switch, don't you?

Pre-ordered BlazBlue CF from base.com, I hope to receive the game not too late since I'm from Italy.

and is fast approaching the 15 million mark for the year ending March 2019 (up from 12 million during the same period the year before)

That's inaccurate. Last FY accounted for 15 millions Switch sold. So they've matched this result in just 9 months.

Last year they sold 2,9 million Switch units in Q4, so they should have little to no problems to reach the same goal in this Q4, and since they are at 14,5 millions until December 31th, this means they'll reach 17,5 millions by the end of the FY (probably 18).

I think they expected Labo to shift more units until the very end, but it failed in that regard. But 17,5-18 millions is exceptionally good anyway

@BenAV
just keeping staying here to see more people come and say it's not that surprise...

well actually it was properly announced a while ago

p.s. I think I'm old here

@Evilworm sadly, it's not my imagination. Now I really feel sorry for you, in a mere week Nintendo will blow you away with its numbers. Prepare yourself

@Evilworm I don't know if you have any tears left, and I sincerely hate to say the Switch is currently sitting on more than 30 millions units sold, and will be AT LEAST at 35 by the end of march.
And, worst of all, keep some of these tears for next fiscal year because that will be just insane. Sorry

@Lando_ if you stay here and even bother to post, it's for the japanese charts, now isn't it?
One would hardly believe you don't give a single love about it. Obviously, everybody likes playing games more than staring at sales charts

@gortsi rotfl what a specimen we have, indeed!

Oh, finally I can... Nope

Yeah. And it's difficult to stock. With 4 children I haven't bothered with it yet.

@SmileMan64 NMH3 is pretty like a given, TSA teases it hard

Yep, I'm from the future and I must say that, sadly, the Switch version has been cancelled!

I've just downloaded Gunman Clive HD collection, you missed it completely!

Plus, very poor special offers this week

@teamdave2002
It's just my humble opinion. Actually I don't know what to think about this game's sales (I like to watch at videogames sales, not that this is some vital stuff).
The WiiU was such a failure most people didn't know about its existence, or they thought it was some Wii peripheral or the like.
Switch is another beast entirely, just thnik about those 17 millions that didn't own a WiiU, I bet many, many of them just happened to know this game.
Think of my 6 years old neighbour who just received a Switch for Christmas, it's a given he's gonna see this one at Gamestop and ask his father to buy it. No, he must know it now because of all the YT advertisement the game is receiving. His father will buy it gladly because of that Mario nostalgia.

I bought it and played it on WiiU, just like the other re-releases I'm not interested, not at this price anyway.

I don't believe it, that is.

@FragRed
Switch closed last FY with 17,26 millions (iirc), then Nintendo said it sold 5 millions in the first 2 quarters (april 1st to september 30th 2018). Assuming the Switch sold around 10 millions in the 3rd quarter it should be sitting on 30-32 millions as we speak.

@Scottwood101
they're fools considering:
1) the Switch is well over the 30 millions install base, meaning at least 17 millions people didn't have the chance of buying it on WiiU, which is more than the total WiiU install base;
2) it's Mario...

@Porky they tried and found nothing

I thought Feudal Alloy would be a next week's highlight and would receive a proper review.
Shame

"The question that Nintendo has to answer next is how unique that approach will be when moving into the next hardware cycle; can Switch possibly sustain the company for the next decade, and if not, what comes after?"

I think they should keep the concept and IMPROVE it. Sony has done little to nothing in terms of HW innovation for 20 years, and still managed to sell 450 millions units.

Do the same Nintendo, but invest the SAME in your FP studios and SERVICES, like Sony did

@SubtleGris
Yeah, it is, even at 80% discount.
But it surprises me even more to see Octopath at number 8

I picked some games on sale lately (Membrane, West of Loathing, Into the Breach, Grim Fandango R and Hyper Sentinel), wanted to play Gris but the short length told me to wait for a sale.

I played some WoL and liked it, Membrane is good too, especially at 1€

Nothing for me this week!

It looks too good to be... Good.

The lack of online play is a joke. I love this game, got it physically and played a lot on the Xbox 360 in 2006-07 (ONLINE).
Such a shame...

@R1spam just look for a random partner online, you can.
Oh the doubles tournament, what a blast

Wandersong!!! Where's the review?
Besides of that, I've read every single review, you can believe it. Because you're so much lovely

@Garage yep, you're right. The only one already released was Mario's during the beta test.
Anyway, I'm still enjoying this game a lot, because it's STELLAR. So sad Nintendo did big mistakes with it. The single player mode it's always been mediocre and the matchmaking was too punishing for beginners until the very last update.
Now it's almost perfect but sadly most players have abandoned it

@NybroCymerej because in the game you collect cassettes through levels. It's a neat touch, actually

@scully1888
Glad to hear it. So, this game will most certainly click with my tastes. Probably I'll pick it up sooner rather than later

@scully1888
Would you still recommend it to one who almost exclusively plays the Switch handheld?

@BlueBlur101
What?! Worldwide, probably. The PS4 is a monster. But in Japan Switch will outsell it by the end of this fiscal year (march 31th 2019)
