Re: Rumour: Spiritual Successor To TopSpin Coming To Nintendo Switch Next Year

I still play it on vita when i want a chillout game, best tennis game ever imo, i have tried many tennis games, can't stand the mario ones but grand slam on wii was ok but not the best, have to agree VT4 vita version was a great port, who would have thought vita could produce visuals like that, technically one of the most impressive games on vita. Fifa ain't to bad on vita either, it's more than adequate, i also downloaded NBA 2K on vita, it's not bad for a psp game, yep i do like sports games when not playing Japanese niche games, also buzzing at moment playing walking dead series on vita

Don't matter if Ninty says it's a home console, it certainly isn't, where is the big box that sits next to your TV, like all home consoles. The guts of the switch are in the tablet handheld, yes tablet, it uses cartridges like all handhelds except psp, it uses tegra 1 which is basically aimed at handheld and let's face it most adverts see it been played everywhere but at home. Wii U is the last home console Ninty will ever make, nobody wants them, yep it's a handheld that has a function to plug it into a TV. If it was a home console like you say then it's another poor effort by Ninty, it would just mean another underpowered piece of crap, instead it's the most powerful handheld ever made, none of that BS crap that's it's a hybrid, it's handheld with some extra features. Oh yeah almost forgot, bollocks to that 83% crap, they didn't survey everyone with a switch, numbers are cooked to fit in with their backwards way of thinking, which is, hey everybody come buy our new home console you can play on the go, BS PR talk

Depends what system you have it on, I have it on vita. Anyways the expansion pack is Island of whispers it came out way after original game to celebrate the awards it won, it's built in to vita version and no doubt the switch aswell, you have to trigger it though

@Shiryu
Can't see why it won't come to switch, OK it's not a SNK game but that shouldn't matter. The game came to vita after the developers asked online with a survey what neogeo games they would like, there was 5 on the list, not SNK ones, Windjammers wasn't on the list but everybody was asking for it, so fanservice was reason it finally made it to vita 2 days ago. People were also asking for Street Hoops but haven't heard anything about that yet,

Re: Switch Hardware Sales Climb Again as Monster Hunter XX Arrives in Japan

WhistleFish

Bloody hell, the Switch is up and down consistently, more so than a slappers knickers. Got to say mh sales are crap regardless if it's a port of a port, it's not like there is another to choose from, should have done much better. Same thing happened to the vita with a old MH port, it sold poorly, it never left Japan, same will happen to the switch version imo. Capcom released a old psp MH for vita in the West instead, hmm it wasn't even a remaster, better than nothing I guess

Re: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Will Be a Switch Exclusive in 2018

This is more like it, games like this might persuade me to buy a switch, maybe. Have to wait to see what other games arrive. If it ain't like the 2nd one, a follow up, then it would be a no from me, many new games today but all pointless for my tastes apart from this, do hope this isn't a spinoff mini collection or a watered down version of main games

I would say it wasn't a great year for hardware sales in Japan last year, no surprise there what with wii u been a flop, vita not catching on like psp, 3ds coming to a end, ps4 been a home console, they prefer handhelds. This year won't do much better but next year will be up thx to switch, swings and roundabouts. Yes i own Sony hardware but also Nintendo hardware, as for Sony not doing any wrong, they have done plenty things that rub me up the wrong way, same with Nintendo. Would you like to explain further with the Last Nintendo hardware comment, the crushed theory is just dumb, looks like 3ds crushed vita to me worldwide and ps4 in Japan plus the switch should pass both machines overthere sometime next year. OK i wouldn't care if Sony discontinued vita as of today, i ain't blind enough to see that it's down but not out just yet, i defended it because you keep whining that it's dead, wouldn't mind if it was but it's still selling and still getting games for me that's the opposite to dead, not my fault you have a different meaning in your head for the word dead, that's different from the dictionary. Like I said your the only one ranting about this apocalyptic doom for gaming in general. Like yourself i don't own a switch and maybe never will, haven't made my mind up, waiting to see what games it gets, bought a vita for Japanese niche games, it didn't let me down, Wii u was a complete let down for me apart from xeno and Pikmin, it's made me weary about Nintendo hardware, that's why i didn't buy day 1 for first time ever. Tbh i wouldn't care if gaming world imploded, it's OK to play games but i have otherthings going on like working, going out with the wife visiting places, gaming ain't a priority for me unlike some, most of the time my hardware is collecting dust. Almost forgot, what the hell has review scores got to do with all this, like any machine they all have goo and bad reviews, can't see the relevance in this though

Your a fool, the random numbers I so called claim are latest mediacreate sales and you don't get any more accurate than those guys, there is no proof that Sony paid to not have it on switch, which is more BS your spouting, just a salty answer from a ill-informed crybaby. Yes I watch trends and Japan is doing just fine, some devs may shutdown, new ones will take their place, haven't seen any major Japanese studios dissappear in this apocalyptic gaming world your head lives in, let's say it's true and Japan crashes like you would have us all believe, then Nintendo might aswell stop production right now because bitleman the bsman has prophosised the end and its all Sony's fault. Tell me how can or is there any point in the switch having momentum as you put it, if the end is nigh. It's great to see you so salty about SOM coming to vita, hope it gets many more games like this just so i can be entertained by the ridiculous cry babies on here, makes for great reading

Stop exaggerating, you don't have a clue what your talking about, this game is nothing to do with Sony. It's just square releasing a game on their machines just like when square release games on Nintendo hardware only, that's what Square have been doing a long time, yes Sony get exclusive games but no different from nintendo getting 3rd party exclusives like Bayonetta 2, they paid for it. Seems to me your eyes are very closed if you think the Japanese market will basically close, your out of your head to even think that, neolithic neanderthal way of thinking. Many cry babies on this article but your the only one screaming this Japan is dead BS because of Sony. Yep over 20 million 3Ds sold, ps3 over 10 million, ps4 and vita over 5 million sold so far and ps4 is on track to beat ps3 sales, switch already over 1 million and will reach 15 plus million, shed loads of software sold on all platforms, yep Japanese market is dead or dying, yeah right. As for development teams shuting down, well that happens all the time worldwide, gaming industry is still here though, also new developers are always coming into the fold, gaming is in a good place right now, Japan is doomed lol

@garthvader
Huge potential in sales, switch has a smaller userbase than any system out there, SOM coming to Sony machines with a massive userbase combined never mind just on ps4, the potential is far higher for sales, it's a business, can't blame square for doing this, besides i think it's great that's it's coming to vita and not switch, it shows just how ridiculous and pathetic ppl are on this community, massive amount of cry babies, far worse than any other site

From what i recall, 3ds got lots of Japanese games, OK it didn't get as many as vita but tbh having played many Japanese niche games on my Vita you should be happy 3ds didn't get them all, many were poor efforts. Recently switch has had some announcements that Japanese games are coming to switch, OK they won't be all localised but more and more will be announced. Take DQ builders 2 for example and it isn't coming to vita, same with Fear Effect remake, not that vita fans will mind they have OG fear Effect 1&2 they can download on psn. Sony won't get everything, switch will have its share just like 3ds, I expect a few FF and MH games will come, maybe a new Mana game plus loads of Tecmo games plus NIS ones, the list is endless but some of them you will wish you hadn't bought like myself, most of the visual novels are rubbish with a few exceptions, better off with the Telltale novels, much better than Japanese ones

@bitleman
Like i said BS about destroying Japanese market, tbh vita still sells and gets games, so yeah not dead just yet, as for software sales, who knows, most vita games are digital only, also if it was dead like u say then it shouldn't be getting SOM but it is, also the excellent Undertale last week. Your kidding yourself if you think it doesn't have a dedicated userbase worldwide, yep it's not the biggest but it's more than enough for Japanese and indie games to turn a profit and that's what counts. Going back to your wii u vita comparison, Sony published 64 games for it, a lot more than Nintendo did for wii u, OK they don't make games for it no more but they certainly fund projects or buy exclusivity for new games to vita, much more than Nintendo are doing with wii u, for vita fans this can only be a good thing. For myself if I want to dig out my Vita to play a new game then I will and same for Nintendo hardware I own, variety is the spice of life, best not to put all eggs in one basket especially Nintendo hardware. This is a Nintendo site, look back over the comments and you will notice vita owners having a say, then check Sony sites and there you have it, a vita userbase regardless if you like it or not. Have to agree with you that it was a disgrace how they treated the vita and its userbase, can't understand why they push PSVR and not vita when it has clearly sold more than VR. Yep vita probably has a few years left thanks to cross buy and remoteplay plus Japanese and indie games but at about 10 thousand units worldwide each week don't sound great but devs don't have to sell their games in the millions to turn a profit

@BinaryFragger
Most sensible comment on here, the guy that was in charge of bringing adventures of Mana to vita made a statement just after its release that he would like to do a secret of Mana remake for vita, and that's long before the rumoured NX became switch. Many on here are just salty, so many ridiculous comments, one of the best is, I am buying it on steam to spite vita lovers, yep it speaks volumes, it won't bother vita owners because they will have a choice to buy it or not, although many will, like you said it has a fantastic attach rate. I was reading comments the other day on a site, it was a recent interview with a few different indie devs, asking them why they still release games on vita, the replys were all similar saying that there games sell really well on vita and one explained further that they released their game on ps4/vita at same time and the vita version sold a lot more though it has a much smaller userbase, says it all really. Anyways I won't be buying the Mana game though I have choice if I change my mind. Yep i have a vita but also Nintendo hardware, I have no preferances, just a guy that likes games whichever machine they are on

What a load of BS you spout, many salty ppl on here like yourself, if it's coming to vita so what, which still has a dedicated userbase worldwide, just check other sites, many are buying it on vita, ppl on here are acting like it's their God given right to have the game just because they bought a switch, can't have every game, it won't happen, maybe switch owners will get that gimped FF XV pocket version

@ClassSonicSatAm
Could be a golden year, hmm just about everything on it is a port, ps4xboxo the same, hmm ps4 has loads of exclusives triple A and indie games, you must have had your head stuck up nintendo's backside lol. Seriously though the switch hasn't offered much exclusive yet, take away all the ports of Nintendo and indie games and you have a wii u drought situation, yes mario is coming, it will have maybe 5 or 6 exclusives by end of year but so did wii u first year, yep i see droughts for 1St party exclusives and not ports, golden year, no chance

@NicolausCamp
Easily bests anything on vita, lol mate, uncharted and killzone wipe the floor with this, this game is pretty bland when in the open world but very impressive when inside buildings, I will check comparison vids on dragon quest but I would have thought switch version will be better after all its a 5 year old machine. Edit gameplay exactly same but shadows and textures stand out plus the vibrant colours, I also did a switch &ps4 comparison, ps4 was a massive winner by a country mile, just like switch version over vita, though they certainly ain't the best graphics on vita by a long shot, it's like they did a straight 3ds port with no upgrade

@kobashi100
Take a look at a video of it, then tell me the switch can't do better, or can't it, Ys Vlll on vita looks just as good, killzone looks even better, so does AC liberation, visually Wipeout, VIRTUA tennis and need for Speed looks better. I like MH but a original one on switch would look much better than this, if this is the best switch can do then all games will look last gen, but I know it can.

@Agramonte
I watched a video of it and yes it looks like a old vita game, many rough edges. Tbh though many Japanese games ain't big on graphics but certainly up there with gameplay, vita has many Japanese games of late that look better than this. I would like to see a MH game on switch built from the ground up, not a rehash like this, this looks like something the dog pucked up compared to MH world, that's where it's at on true home consoles

@JSG87
It ain't console quality, that would be ps4xboxo, it ain't in the same league, it's a handheld with a feature to hook it up to a TV, even the tegra runs tablets, everything about it shouts handheld, only it's lacking in features compared to all its competitors, tbh it would be great if it got big 3rd party games instead of last gen ports from hardware like ps3, vita, Wii u, yep i must say console quality from a last gen or failed hardware. The switch will do just fine but a home console it isn't. Nintendo are losers when it comes to home hardware apart from wii and that's thx to casuals, they are better with handhelds, especially when they have a feature to play them on a TV, looked what happened when they made a home console that had a feature to play off tv, yep the wii u failed
