@ModdedInkling the game has performance issues on base PS4 and PS4 Pro. Base PS4 real bad performance problems! Saber or Panic Button wouldn't have got this running smooth on switch either.

Hoping this delayed on switch because of MH: Rise and Activision wanna get Crash 4 out first meaning it won't be a huge wait.

2021 better not mean towards end of year.

Definitely coming Q4 2021/Q1 2022

Looking forward to see what upgrade we get from Nintendo

Not a chance it will be a TV only console. Nintendo have made some silly decisions in there time (Wii U for example) but they are not gonna make such a stupid error with the Switch Pro.

@Giancarlothomaz let's be honest here. If Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 were still not announced for switch let's not pretend there wouldn't be outrage. People would be complaining constantly that these titles are not in development. The theory of not announcing games till 6 months in advance simply doesn't work.

@EVIL-C a cool $1.2b

It's easy to say no you wouldn't accept when it's fantasy. That's a hell of lot of money and the share holders were never gonna turn that down and I don't blame them. The developers at codemasters would have also got a nice pay packet from this. I honestly don't blame them at all when you are talking that kind of money.

No problem with people leaking stuff. It happens in every industry.

@weelz79 MS published the Ninja Gaiden games on Xbox so thats why this collection is the Sigma games.

I am just here to see if the troll who always claimed switch couldn't run frostbite engine shows up to declare he was completely wrong. Cant remember his username!

@Shambo don't think it was released physical in North America.

@Casual_Gamer95 even if the switch was powerful enough I would argue developers have no obligation. Wether it's PS, Xbox or switch developers and publishers can choose which systems they want to release software on. When people start calling developers lazy I find that is so disrespectful. The way people just shout this rubbish all because they don't get what they want. They know nothing about the development teams work ethic but think it's cool to call them lazy. At the same time they claim they love the gaming industry which makes no sense at all. Considering we all know how some publishers treat developers with them spending a ridiculous amount of hours per day working, to call people you have no idea about or how they work lazy is pretty stupid.

Sure these people would have a real problem if they were called lazy in regards to there own employment.

@Morph Not sure it is possible = we can't be bothered with the effort it would take.

That response = entitled gamer who thinks developers owe them something.

@V_Gamer smash played no part in this game being released. The trilogy game sold very well and Activision likes making money so ignoring the switch would have been silly.

@NathanTheAsian was never gonna be higher than 30fps. The base PS4 game is unlocked 60fps with performance issues all over the place. Remember Base Xbox one is 30fps also.

@CheapCheepBeach they have reworked the assets dude.

This would have been a much bigger cost for Activision. Fair play to them for using a higher budget for the switch version.

Knew it was coming so passed on PS4 version. Day 1 on switch

@Rpg-lover because maybe they have not got the resources to work on all systems and they don't want to work every hour god sends just to finish a video game.

@Giancarlothomaz who said anything about cancelling the game. WTF are you on about. I have no idea what point you are trying to make here. Oh and P3 deluxe sales are worldwide but being carried hugely by the Japanese sales.

@Giancarlothomaz dude Bayonetta is never becoming a huge seller just like every other single platinum game. And yes pikmin 3 sales on switch in Japan are great but even with them sales just like Bayonetta it is a niche title! Please let's stop this fantasy that Nintendo can turn Bayonetta into a mainstream big seller. Nintendo revived the series to diverse the library and appeal to the small audience who love Bayonetta. Remember that MS passed on Bayonetta because of the lackluster sales. It was a good business move by Nintendo as it's never gonna be a title that loses money. It serves its purpose!

@sixrings why would they not be able to get the game running on switch. Post makes no sense at all. This isn't a port, platinum are developing the game with the switch specs in mind. Getting the game running isn't an issue at all.

@Giancarlothomaz Bayonetta is not a system selling game. It's niche material and holding number 3 for switch successor would be completely pointless.

@shgamer I know exactly how much Bayonetta 1+ 2 sold. Like I said it sold in line with what people thought it would. The game flopped hard when it was originally released. The series was dead before Nintendo stepped in. You seriously are comparing Bayonetta to DMC. Bayonetta is selling what Nintendo expected it to sell. Talk of it being cancelled is silly! Where are you getting this idea that Bayonetta has to sell several million to be financially viable. lol Nintendo would have never stepped into to fund the game if that was the case. You are tripping dude!

@sixrings really confused why you would think Nintendo would be unhappy with his comments. He is simply stating it's Nintendo's decision to decide when new info can be published on games they are publishing. I really can't see the problem here!

@shgamer this is a joke post right. Bayonetta was never a big seller on any system. Nintendo knew exactly what they was getting when they funded development of 2 and now 3. Bayonetta is selling in line with what people expect. The game sells well enough to cover development costs by the way.

@anoyonmus not really. Just saying he would like to see it happen. Others could see that as a political correct answer instead of saying flat out no.

@anoyonmus dude mass effect was never confirmed for switch. Nobody is expecting it.

@FixMadden21 if they go down the route of generic teams but then include a player creator which will allow users to accurately recreate the players and rosters to share with the community then that will be scummy. EA profiteering off the players without compensation.

@Qwertyninty don't click on the link. It's not hard to ignore it.

@FixMadden21 yes but at the same time EA could have decided not to release a NCAA game if it meant players were not being paid. All parties involved were wrong!

Hope there being no NCAA license means the players are getting paid. Props to EA if they are going down that route.

@Tasuki forget WWE. Literally every promotion in the world. having access to just ROH wrestlers for example would cost a bag of money which the development team just could not afford. They got lucky with Zach Zabre and Jeff Cobb for example as they had not signed to New Japan when they were approached.

@Mana_Knight small development team with small budget. They have done a great job from what I can see. More wrestlers will come via DLC if the game sells well enough. Obviously any future wrestlers will be free agents or guys who currently hold there own image rights. Plenty of good indie wrestlers should come hopefully.

@Ventilator WTF are you going on about? Good grief, I have told you why sony and Nintendo won't ever allow gamepass on there platforms because as a business they don't want to throw away the 30% fee they get from third parties and you simply ignore that little detail and start telling us how good gamepass is. The quality of gamepass is not the debate.

Also when did I say PSnow was superior. I said the fact you said that sony won't allow gamepass on its platforms because it's superior is ridiculous. You keep ignoring the 30% fees Sony gain from third party sales like its some small thing. No business will just throw away a big revenue stream like that.

I honestly have no idea why you wrote all that.

@Ventilator Sony passed on gamepass because they are not going to give away the 30% cut from third parties. It's simple business 101. Ignoring that and instead claiming because it is a superior service is just total fan boy cringe.

@Ventilator of course Nintendo wouldn't allow it. Do you think Sony would allow game pass on PS5? Why would you throw away that 30% cut you get from third parties for the games that are on gamepass. No business would do this! But hey forget business as it's video games and gamers should get what they want.

Now on to Stadia. Some people are in serious denial. Yes the service works and Google's infrastructure etc etc is superb but the writing is on the wall. The thing is slowly dying and you have to accept that. Reminds me of people who couldn't accept the Wii U was on its deathbed.

@Mr-Fuggles777 don't really see what that has to do with switch sports games underperforming like you implied with original comment. 2k seem to be happy with NBA 2k sales. Remember they had no issue commentating on the Wii U version bombing and how they were no longer gonna release the game on that console.

The Super mega baseball publishers don't seem to be upset about switch sales. Yes there is not many sports titles on switch but the ones it does have seem to be hitting the publishers targets.

By the way I only just realised you may have meant underperforming in performance rather than sales. My bad if thats the case dude and you can ignore everything I said lol

Seems the MLB are publishing the Xbox version by the way and not Sony.

@Mr-Fuggles777 you implied switch sports games are underperforming. I just wanna know which ones.

@GrailUK or switch and PC versions canned this year due to covid. To be fair to San Diego Studios, going from developing for one platform to then seven in a year we have had a global pandemic is tough and a big ask. Getting all out on release date would be some effort.

@Mr-Fuggles777 please let me know which other sports games excluding FIFA have seen publishers make comments on underperforming switch titles.

@sixrings I think that has been silently cancelled

@JLPick because releasing NBA courtside would see it completely bomb. Why would anyone buy it when a far superior basketball game exists with NBA 2k series. There is a reason why even EA are not competing with 2K sports when it comes to basketball Sims.

Sony are contractually obligated to release on any platform that requests it. Nintendo did put in a request so I am guessing it will be released later like the vita versions.

@Crono1973 just means consumers may have given up alongside publishers etc etc. Would have been real tough to turn around

@YoshiFlutterJump BOTW would have shifted some consoles if it was Wii U exclusive but let's be honest. Nothing was saving a console that had a controller that looked and felt like a fisher price toy. Look at the GC. It had all the Nintendo first party games and it flopped. Wii U was dead on arrival!

Some of you are missing the point. Reggie is not saying Nintendo were in financial ruin after the Wii U disaster. He means the switch was make or break as you can't have successive consoles flopping and losing so much market share. He is totally correct in what he is saying. If the switch was a disaster like the Wii U was do you think people would buy the switch successor? The brand would be in the mud.

Also The Wii U was a mess from day dot. Should have never been commissioned for production and whoever made that decision made a huge error.

This is a funny story!! Well done Reddit. I only use Reddit for my repsneakers. Love that place!

Reached chapter 4. This is a good game!

@TheFrenchiestFry the disaster of the first game killed any hope of a second title.

@NathanTheAsian 1.3m sales for a Wii U port. The game hit it's expectations and some.

The development team can now be seen driving newest spec Tesla automobile!

Tremendous success

@NathanTheAsian the satisfactory ports are in line what the switch hardware allows. Developers work with the tools and budget available and have achieved on par results. Developing new multi platform titles with switch specifications in mind is simply unrealistic. The industry continues to evolve with new hardware and developers want to bring there work to these machines in the best possible way. Making improvements from a last gen machine title to current gen will always hold back the potential of software and this isn't good for developers, publishers or customers. Not sure why you have used MH rise as an example. MH rise will not be releasing on PS5 or Xbox series X. Yes it looks like it will be released on PC but when it does the improvements can only go so far.

@dres good that google have said they will keep the game library forever but hey let's be honest here. With the numbers Stadia is doing, this service is not gonna be around forever. Google's track record speaks for itself when it comes to abolishing services.

@dres I get what you saying dude. Just wanted to get it out there that not everyone owns a PC/Laptop. I am not gonna get the cloud version but if I did it would be switch over mobile for me just cause streaming games on my phone just doesn't interest me at all plus there is the issue having to buy extra accessories for my phone.

@dres maybe cause there are some of us who don't own a PC/laptop or don't wanna play on a mobile phone. You can understand that surely.
