In many people's minds Switch to Switch 2 will be seen as a bigger upgrade when compared to the PS5 to PS5 Pro. If the price of the Switch 2 is right, and you can also play your old Switch games, it will print money for Nintendo.
Glad One Piece finally came to Switch. Hope it sells well. Would like to see more anime RPG / Adventure adaptions like this instead of the typical fighting games.
I don't have my Switch with me but I thought there was a page for Games With Demos, either under your account or from one of the main pages. Did they remove it?
Hopefully there is enough in stock for most of the pre-orders. But I still have to ask. Why do pre-orders sell out at all? Why can't I pre-order the new Switch and get it whenever it's available, even if that's months later, after they make another batch? Must be a retail thing.
One of the reasons scalpers succeed is people miss out on pre-orders and can't find the item in stores. Then FOMO and panic kicks in and people spend 2x the retail cost. If there were open pre-orders all the time, and you're guaranteed a new Switch at some point, why wouldn't you just do that?
@the_beaver I would hope so too. You could play Sky on Steam right now. Hopefully XSEED will just drop Sky and Cold Steel 1-2 on modern consoles and surprise us. I would love that too.
@the_beaver All those releases were published by XSEED and not NIS America in the west. IDK why XSEED doesn't port Cold Steel I-II to Switch when we have the other two already. NIS even re-released III and IV in a double pack. I assume XSEED would still be the publisher of Sky.

In many people's minds Switch to Switch 2 will be seen as a bigger upgrade when compared to the PS5 to PS5 Pro. If the price of the Switch 2 is right, and you can also play your old Switch games, it will print money for Nintendo.

Re: Japanese Charts: Baseball Takes The Crown In Another Switch-Filled Bonanza
I wish Powerful Pro Baseball would come to North America.

His reaction will not help his cause at all. And maybe that doesn't matter at this point.

Really excited for the official announcement. Hopefully we'll get the first Blood Omen some day too.

Looks sweet. Hope it gets a physical release.
Re: Nintendo Expands 'Controller Button Collection' In Japan With SNES, N64 & GameCube Keychains

Re: Inti Creates' New Project Is A Pixel Art Adventure Inspired By Zelda And '90s Anime
Zelda and 90s anime? I'm so there. Actually would love a Zelda game in anime style too.

Re: Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid Is Getting A Local Switch Release This August
Loving what I'm seeing. Great setting. Wish it looked more like an anime but the art style is good too.
Re: Component Shortage No Longer An Issue For Switch Successor, Says Nintendo
Hopefully there is enough in stock for most of the pre-orders. But I still have to ask. Why do pre-orders sell out at all? Why can't I pre-order the new Switch and get it whenever it's available, even if that's months later, after they make another batch? Must be a retail thing.
One of the reasons scalpers succeed is people miss out on pre-orders and can't find the item in stores. Then FOMO and panic kicks in and people spend 2x the retail cost. If there were open pre-orders all the time, and you're guaranteed a new Switch at some point, why wouldn't you just do that?
Re: The Legend Of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II English Logo Spotted
@the_beaver I would hope so too. You could play Sky on Steam right now. Hopefully XSEED will just drop Sky and Cold Steel 1-2 on modern consoles and surprise us. I would love that too.
Re: The Legend Of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II English Logo Spotted
@the_beaver All those releases were published by XSEED and not NIS America in the west. IDK why XSEED doesn't port Cold Steel I-II to Switch when we have the other two already. NIS even re-released III and IV in a double pack. I assume XSEED would still be the publisher of Sky.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Is The Most Wishlisted Game Of The Summer Showcase Season
Looking forward to it, along with a lot of stuff.
