Inquire about Star Wars Battlefront 2 and its reception, you'll have a good idea of the problem with it.

I don't know how much they relied on the stuff that was revealed in the meantime, but they might have to "muscle it up" with new reveals.

Cleaning is important.

@Balta666
The Specter Knight campaign is way easier, but the New Game + is more of a challenge I think.

Shovel Knight still keeps me entertained. I've 100%ed the Shovel achievements but I'm still working on the two others from time to time.

@OorWullie They could keep releasing sequels for years as far as I'm concerned, I'm fine with it !

@BlueOcean
It's also a bad business decision :
> the cost of translating would be by far compensated by the sales on the eshop (physical would be too costly imo)
> you get more people to love your brand & games and buy your next big release by making your products available to them

@BlueOcean
And the Seiken Densetsu collection !

Why ?
Didn't SquareE have at least 20 games to remaster before this one ?

Makes no sense to try and trigger people's nostalgia, and yet not pay attention to that kind of detail.

@Dahn_
... and the cartridge.
It amazes me how people are begging for a physical release but don't want to put their money where their mouth is !

If there's a sequel, I hope this series will follow the Final Fantasy model : new characters/new setting each time.

Also let's hope they heard criticism about the repititivity of the game.

@Likethepear
You are a good person. You just need to find a way to show it to the world.

@Anti-Matter
Australia minus 2h30

Crossing my fingers for a Nintendo sports game as Wave Race, Pilotwings or 1080° (this one for winter would be awesome).

@faint Seven is not FAR from ten, yes.

Into the Breach ?????????????

It was released on the 28th. That's amazing it's that high!

@Bunkerneath @Spoony_Tech
It's not much more disgusting than DOOM. I'd be bothered if this site limited its coverage to Nintendo cuteness.

I'm buying the game tonight as soon as I'm done with my work !

@Nincompoop
Your point on "time wasting" is very interesting.
I think it is more to be seen as Indies often seeking the "retro feel" of the old days when you had to restart the whole game (sometimes no saves or password at all), but today having people go through the exact same levels over and over couldn't be done. So procedural makes it possible in a way.

René la Taupe !!

@lmello Yep, I'm hoping for that game too !

@Kochambra I'm all about trying to be fair, read my first comment.

But you must admit that 30€ isn't on the cheap side. It was released for :

> 15€ in 2012
> 18€ (game+DLC) or 5€ (DLC alone) in 2013

@Moroboshi876
Comparing it to the release price someplace else makes sense indeed !

@Stocksy @Moroboshi876
Comparing the price of a game being freshly released on a system that required work to the price it's been on sale at some point elsewhere after a few years isn't fair. If it was the amount a publisher could hope to sell it for, no game at all would be ported to Switch.

But I agree 30$ feels pricey when compared to the price of Celeste, Shovel Knight or Hollow Knight.

@Spoony_Tech @link3710
Splatoon almost sold 7mil. It's a lot but seven ain't ten. It might get there someday but I wouldn't bet on that.
It sold twice less than the big three in both US and EU.

@faint
Splatoon is huge in Japan, but it's quite small other places and remains far away from the 10million sellers that are Zelda, Mario and MK8.

@NintendoLife
Can you guys do the same thing with indies ?
(or maybe you did and I missed it)

@Bondi_Surfer
Reading your comment I thought "I'm gonna ignore Oji too", and almost hit the button right below your message instead of his...

@oji
You want more AAAs in the "eshop selects" ? Did you understand what it meant ?

@Krull
That's amazing that you enjoy him so much. I can't get into his gameplay. I did New Game + for Shovel and Specter but this one I'm reluctant to go back for more. I always felt this campaign was weaker, but reading this makes me realize it's just a matter of taste.

WARNING ! This game is really difficult. At least if you're not used to the genre. Don't get me wrong : it's great. But I couldn't play it without the wiki.

6/10 for a 2D plateformer is a death sentence.

Shame on Super Monkey Ball for not waking up sooner !

I won't miss that one as soon as it's on sale !

@MrBlacky
Not as simple as that : when you're producing micro-SD, you can produce millions and millions of units. A game like Wlof won't sell more than 2millions (that's already very optimistic). Plus it's a very specific format.
But you might be right, idk.

@Silly_G "These games are too expensive, I can get them on PS4 for 8.99$"
Does that sound familiar ? I don't get how having a larger than usual cartridge, and therefore charging even more for the game is going to be good for business.
Furthermore, I'm pretty sure microSD space is cheaper than SwitchCartridge space.

@RudyC3 I'm a victim of the EU import canendrum myself too, and yes : 80$ for a game is really expensive. I personally don't understand why bother to import a game you can get digitally for less that half that price (at least on sale).

I get your regret that it didn't get a full release back in the day, but I think you realise that :

> pushing back the PS / Xbox / PC release to wait for the Switch version was not possible
> releasing the game physically simultaneously as digitally on Switch would have been done if possible
> having a full blast physical release on Switch today would be plain suicide.

@ShadJV @nintendobynature Didn't Specter of Torment pop up on Switch before any other system ? They might do it again.

I think the price is just a placeholder. Just like the cover art can't be anything close to the real thing (where is King of Cards ?)

Thanks Yacht Club Games for daring delay the release and make it an even better game, when you could have rushed it and cashed in on it earlier. I honestly can't see myself get bored with the game(s) and would love it to keep going... (paid DLC, maybe ??)

@tameshiyaku
The eshop.

@zool
You want to play the game that's supposed to be played with the joycons but you don't want to play with the joycons that they gave you with the console. That's very logical indeed and Nintendo is really stupid for not making that happen.

@XenoShaun

@setezerocinco
If six months later you're not interested in the game anymore, then you just saved money. Good for you ! You can invest it in the next game that you'll have forgotten about six months from now.

@WillTheLion
There's a reason games are usually more expensive at retail, even more so with a limited run.

I'm back on Shovel Knight, almost completing the Specter NewGame+.

@setezerocinco
People asking for a physical release now have it.

Expecting it to be cheaper than the eshop version is just delusional.

And now people who have been BEGGING for a physical release are going to complain that it's too expensive.

The complexity is a big turn off for me. I bought The Escapists 2 because the concept and DA were very appealing to me... and it was already too complex for me. Prison Architect seems even harder to get into.

@Nincompoop
I think if there hadn't been any indies in the Switch library, Nintendo would have done 3 things :

• beg a little harder for 3rd parties to come over
• released WiiU (and Wii) ports at a faster pace
• most of all, Snes and Nes games would already be here.

  As for the lack of 3rd party AAAs, I'll always prefer a great indie over a good AAA.

Finally 3rd party AAA support !!

@Nincompoop
That's right, I forgot them handled.

I think I'll get the need for "exclusives". To me if you don't have other systems, you're fine with Switch games being elswhere. If you have other consoles... then how many more games do you need ? Aren't Nintendo exclusives enough ?
