@Xelha of course Microsoft is still a player We need to see their plan for next generation, if they will do what Sony did this gen, they can have a comeback
40 minutes.... on 2019 games? That’s a lot Early 2020 is still empty as far as we know aside from Animal crossing and we still know nothing about 2020 as a whole besides animal crossing, No More Heroes 3, Town (probably) and Bayonetta 3 (I hope) and maybe a few more
@Deku-Scrub nah, we are still one first party game away from closing this year, and unless it is some over the top announcement, it won’t be released one month after release (my bet is one of Monolith soft 3-4 (now 5?!?!) freaking projects If we have Xenoblade, Zelda, new IP and maybe 1 or 2 other projects, something have to be reviled soon.... we saw nothing since Xenoblade chronicle 2....
Overall a pretty nice experience I am enjoying the game and was lucky with the gotcha mechanic so far Not going to pay for that of course but I will enjoy the game
Sound really good Bayonetta looks amazing even on big screens, so if the resolution is higher here it should be great! My copy will arrive in few days, can’t wait!
@Peterjr1 I think you can earn them through gameplay, and at least they tell you what are the chances to get each character.... but idk, I hope it will be fun to play
Data is data Nintendo!! There shouldn’t be any issues with uploading everything to the cloud Why do we need your cloud save if you aren’t supporting it!!!!
@Gerbwmu @Nintendofan83 I am not sure it is as low as it seems The switch digital sales are much higher than the 3ds digital sales and it is smashing the eshop charts in Japan ever since release
@Matthew010 update, on Amazon it is currently number 20
Higher than Mario maker 2 (22) and fire emblem (23) madden 20 for PS4 (28) and other big name (or course it isn’t selling more than those games overall as they are games that are out for a while, but those are games with long legs so it shows strong pre order sales for new ip)
Other than that, Platinum have a big name now, and Bayonetta 2 sold above 700 thousands on the Wii U and even more on switch (I have no idea how it didn’t cracked the million on the switch yet) so this game should sale very very good
Those numbers are super high! Was there a holiday or something in Japan? And the switch owned the top 10! And the hardware sales are very high! And both Zelda and Mario Odyssey are out of the charts although I am sure they did well!
Even the Xbox brand in Japan had a relatively good week lol
@roboshort @Matthew010 it already doing good as it is on the eshop best selling chart in Japan for at least 3 updates now (if not more) and each update is a 2 week period, each time at a higher space
In the last update it also got into the list of Australia and probably other regions
The Israeli store doing a special event for its release so they believe it will sell good here as well
And it is wondering around the top video games related stuff in amazon between 35 up to 25 spots for couple of weeks already (and maybe more)
The hype around it is insane and the first review that comes out from famitsu put it very high (37 out of 40, 4 people who review from 1 to 10 added together, it got 10/9/9/9)
I know they didn’t promise a multi player over than Mario odyssey style for 2 people, but this boss battle and the fact they had multi for Bayonetta 2 make me believe we might see a multiplayer for this game and this make me even more hyped
I am gonna pre order it soon (hopefully on Sunday) and maybe I will buy the M-classic to get a 1440p-4K resolution for this game (and other games, like Doom, Bayonetta and basically anything)
@RickD Spawn wave (a YouTuber) opened up the joycons that came with the new switch and saw they made some changes (like moving the antenna to fix the connectivity issue) but he said that he can’t see any difference about the the pad that is drifting
It doesn’t mean they didn’t fix it, but nothing visible
@sketchturner most of the people are there to play and not to create Creating a lvl isn’t an easy task, remember that Nintendo is willing to pay a fortune for lvl designers for Mario games
The zigzagoon forms are exactly the ratata forms but adding an evolution is interesting The new mon is the biggest pikachu design clone so far, the team looks underwhelming
@Spoony_Tech what they did is probably sending supplies to every store until they were out of regular switches (as they stop making them a while ago) and now evry store that runs out is getting the new model to re-stock
@Snakesglowcaps I will still probably wait for the pro We I will wain for spawn wave to check if they fixed the joy con and for someone to test the specs (if it will be like 30% increase it will be tempting, we will see)
@Denoloco cause it is not, the battery is the same, the specs are the same, the only difference is the chip which is smaller and more power-effective (and probably cheaper to make
@Spoony_Tech @Rob3008 that’s exactly why they are so low key about it, the regular Switch stopped production a while ago, now that they are very low on the stocks, they start to pump in the new and improved version, but they couldn’t create a shortage of supply
Some people will get mad but their is no really better way to do it
@PCkid not exactly, Japan is very much going digital as the switch is both portable and can be upgraded to have a lot of storage, according to the last fiscal report, 38.3% of all switch games that were being sold last quarter were digital, and with the vouchers that Nintendo are selling the number of digital first party games probably increased

Re: EA Looking To Bring More Of Its Successful Games To Switch
Thank you but no thank you
I hope FIFA 20 will fail on the switch as those a$$holes give us a freaking legacy addition and cheated us 2 years in a row with bad versions
I didn’t buy fifa for Switch and will never do
I don’t buy any EA game at all now because they all become so bad in the last few years

Not a lot of money..... I wonder if Nintendo is happy with the numbers or not
Re: Nintendo Spent An Estimated $3.7 Million On TV Ads Last Month, Highest Of All Gaming Brands
It is not a lot of money actually, I am sure Sony advertising themselves in Europe football games (ok Americans, soccer) cost way way more

Re: New And Improved Nintendo Switch Model Reportedly On Sale In Australia And Hong Kong
