@MsJubilee They know it tanked because it was released the same month as : Mario Odyssey The Evil Within 2 Assassin's Creed Destiny 2 South Park Gran Turismo : Sport Forza 7 ... and right before Call of Duty: WWII.
Oh yeah sure they should still be in there. But we'll all have a laugh if they go : And the Megaman 11 demo... is available... RIGHT NOW ! on the eshop.
@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
@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.
@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.
@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.
@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.

Into the Breach whenever I have 5 minutes to spare. This game really has me hooked !
Re: The Escapists: Complete Edition Is Breaking Free On Switch Later This Month
I don't get it. What's the point of releasing the first one when the second is already out there ? (and would require some fixing on Switch)

I hope there'll be a demo for this game, my girl might be interrested.

That would be a dumb move to keep "reveals" of games that were revealed a week ago.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Direct To Be Rescheduled For Thursday 13th September
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.
Re: Hands On: Getting Fancy With Shovel Knight: King of Cards And Showdown
@Balta666
The Specter Knight campaign is way easier, but the New Game + is more of a challenge I think.
Re: Hands On: Getting Fancy With Shovel Knight: King of Cards And Showdown
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 !

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

It amazes me how people are begging for a physical release but don't want to put their money where their mouth is !
Re: Octopath Traveler Might Not Receive DLC, But A Sequel Is Being Discussed
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.

Re: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Owltimate Edition Arrives On Switch This Month
@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
Re: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Owltimate Edition Arrives On Switch This Month

Re: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Is Being Released In 2019 To Avoid A Clash With Smash
@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.
