There were at least 5 Neptunia games on the Vita but I could never for the life of me figure at exactly what genre they were, except that apparently they contain a lot of jokes related to video games.
@WiltonRoots grab a large bag of popcorn, this one will be a treat.
On topic: thank God Nintendo announced this now instead of E3, otherwise we'd have to deal with all the witty "Nintendo is pandering to the casuals, what about us hardcore gamers hurr durr" nonsense
@GrailUK and PUBG is still not out on PS4. Games that are so popular (like this and Minecraft for example) can afford to be late without too many repercussions to their sales, plus like someone already said Fortnite is free so it's not like they are missing out on frontloaded preorders or things like that
@westman98 I think that with Konami dropping PES 2019 on current-gen only FIFA will be following as well. What people forget is that EAs biggest problem with FIFA on the Wii u, aside from lacklustre sales, was the fact that they couldn't shoehorn FUT into it and thus we only got FIFA 13, with 14 and 15 being on the Wii but not on the Wii U! Now that they've managed to get FUT going, I think 2019 is a given and unless sales are disastrous possibly even more. Even the Vita got 4 FIFA games FFS! The bigger question is if they will bother with anything else. You'd think games like Sims 4 would be a no brainer, what with it already having console versions and all previous Sims games being on Nintendo, but nothing yet
@BigKing according to EA, it was. And please stop using Vgchartz for anything, it's notoriously unreliable and some numbers are completely made up. If it sucked for you, good for you. You're not speaking about anyone else though
@Menchi187 1.5? That's some low effort trolling bro. They have repeatedly said they are happy with sales so far, they projected at least 30m switch sales by the end of the year, but I guess you must know better as EA's head of corporate strategy.
@gatorboi352 I mean it's not a maybe, it is 4 games. Maybe you have an XBOX but you don't pay for Live then? If not I get it, 60 bucks is steep compared to 20.
@gatorboi352 I'm not really sure you have an XBOX, otherwise you'd know it's 4 games a month since 3 years ago. If you can't afford $1.67 a month I can chip in but you'd have to stop trolling
@WiltonRoots I count at least six in this that have been on Nintendo consoles in the past, so that's a healthy angry white dude dosage if someone needs one. Anyway, E3 coming up soon, which means lots of drinks and hopefully if the weather is anything like this bank holiday it will at least dry the tears quickly
@WiltonRoots E3 is coming up, I hope they announce something like Switch Fit so we can witness the multiple meltdowns in here. That might even bring the Irish troll back, I'm surprised we haven't gotten any input from him about Labo and how all stores in Ireland are stacked with unsold bundles.
@Fight_Teza_Fight yet they keep trying and there must be a reason? Have you seen how many Playlink games Sony has put out last year? I count at least six. Yet nobody claims Sony is diverting resources from God of War or TLOU to make these. It's exactly the same. They both have studios that make these type of games, and that will not change.
@SakuraHaruka it's one starring a perpetually angry dude, contains about 5 hours of cutscenes, and includes "mature" themes such as sex or swearing. None of that cartoonish/cardboard crap.
@westman98 I've said it before,I'm not into Labo and probably won't be ever. However, saying that it isn't a "real" game is just stereotypical dudebro mentality that shows not just complete lack of awareness of what videogames are but also an outstanding ignorance of the market. If Nintendo listened to those people they would have gone under years ago. Thankfully they didn't.
@westman98 you're responding to someone who unironically called LABO "not a real game" as if their definition of a game is valid for everyone. I'm just reminded of how something like Nintendogs which had even lower sales in the beginning in Japan (where Labo has sold twice as much as GOW yet it's considered a failure) and then went on to sell 24 million copies globally, something that all God of Wars combined together have not achieved. I hope Nintendo ignores these trolls and keeps doing their thing. They did so before and succeeded whereas every time they tried to appeal to the "hardcore" gamers who whine and moan about every little thing they failed spectacularly.
@electrolite77 haha, true! He must be frothing by the fact that Labo is selling better than God of War in Japan, even though the two cannot be compared at any point, as they are so different and target completely different audiences. And I say that as someone who hasn't played Labo but can vouch that GOW is a brilliant series, even though I haven't played the latest one.
@WiltonRoots their tears sustain me though. It takes real mental effort to continuously troll, get called out, and then insist that hundreds of people are just blind to your version of the truth because they are "fanboys" (or NDFers if you're 12, from Florida, and like Far Cry 5).
So I guess some people overreacted as per usual? It would make no sense to pull it for good, they didn't do it with any Wii U port so why would they do it now? Wii U digital games will be pulled when the entire store goes down, which is still far away.
@WiltonRoots seriously this game is such a masterpiece. Do I think it should have been priced lower, especially considering it got a Nintendo selects version on Wii U? Absolutely, and people can criticize the price all they want. But comparing that game to Far Cry, of all games? I love most Ubisoft games, but that's like comparing apples to oranges. They satisfy very different needs
@gatorboi352 complains about a 2D platformer while thinking that another cookie cutter open world game is worth 60 bucks. Trolling at a whole different level, and very little understanding of mathematics. Can Sony pull the brakes on "cinematic" action adventures? Between the PS2, PS3 and PS4 they've pumped hundreds of them
@WiltonRoots neither do I, he's as hopeless as the one that has finally relieved us from his presence. Oh well, it's 20 degrees right now in Oxford with the forecast indicating 25 later in the afternoon, so I'll just enjoy the glorious sunshine in the pub. Praise the sun!
@Tao GOW I'm sure is fantastic but it's not even out yet like you said. And I didn't create the arbitrary rule, the troll I was responding to mentioned 90+ games. Personally I don't care about scores or platforms too much, what's the difference between and 88 and a 92 at the end of the day? If we follow that logic nobody would have bought a PS4 until Bloodborne came out or a Switch until Odyssey.
@Fight_Teza_Fight not defensive at all, just sick of this guy trolling articles with irrelevant points. Not that this article entices discussion anyway, I don't know why it was worth reporting in the first place. @Tao saying that I'm factually wrong without saying which fact is wrong doesn't really mean much mate, sorry to burst your bubble. Neither do I care about which platforms you own, I don't know why this is brought up.
@Tao Nah, I check my facts before posting. @Fight_Teza_Fight Persona 5 is a PS3 game. Nier is on PC as well. Horizon is not in the 90s as your mate Agramonte indicated, so I'm guessing you should try harder. Push square is over that way.
@Mashy_ This is not the mobile game. If you've played FM Touch and FM mobile you'd know how different they are. Can anyone confirm whether the game has microtransactions like the steam version?
@Bunkerneath I didn't delete it but the update has made it significantly worse. You'd think they would start messing with the Wii version before the one on Wii U
@brendon987 I think I managed to get to 3 seasons before giving up, I found the interface slow and cumbersome and much preferred the PSP versions of FM, I always thought they were more streamlined. To be fair though they did put out seven of those so they had time to improve it plus when they were first coming out there was still some competition from CM, whereas with the Vita they just put up that one version and called it a day. Hopefully the Switch version is better, I'd think if they base it on the 19 version it will be better than putting the one from this year out now
@ThanosReXXX it's a paradox isn't it? You got some people who would otherwise claim that they're very progressive about anything displaying the most puritanical attitude in things like this without the slightest hint of irony. It's amazing really

@Arcade91 No problem with that on my part. Variety is key, and for those not interested in Labo it can always be their E3 bathroom break
