so a game that went console -> portable -> then switch.
DQH, but it was Vita and not 3DS.
Captain Toad will soon come, but that's simultaneous on 3ds and switch so it's different.
And DQ11
but of games that are out I just got DQH at the moment.

You mean just as games, right? Because with manga, anime and merchandise is actually way bigger with it's numbers.
Kirby is coming to kick asses and take names.
I'm really curious to see how he'll do FW and LTD in Switch
They did mediocre in Japan considering they came st the height of DBS anime popularity. WW it was phenomenal.
Xenoverse 2 was a decline from 1 WW so I expect a further decline with 3 WW. SW port won't save that.
Well one has to remember anime merch and manga aren't as receptive as products as they are in Japan.
Video games are hence why we see such large sales overseas.
Is it just me, or does it feel like VC isn't receiving all that much marketing? I didn't even see the demo on the PS store until I went to look for it ...
Since we were discussing it a few days ago following the Direct announcements, Nintendo is making some changes to Splatoon 2 to go with Rank X:
- from Ver. 3.0.0 onwards, new weapons will not be released on a weekly basis anymore. Instead, all the new weapons for a given month will be added at the same time, at the beginning of the month. This seemingly doesn't change the number of new weapons, just when they're added (so they're not slowing down support). Same for stages, they will still be roughly 1 stage per month, but now it will always be on the first day of each month
- basically, Rank X was designed so that players keep playing even after reaching the max rank, instead of focusing on just climbing ranks. Every month, there's a "reset", and players below a yet-to-be-defined threshold (presumably changing every month) will be demoted to S+9.
- more at the link (in Japanese, but I assume English post will come soon) > https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/aab6a/rank/index.html
I feel those are pretty important changes, clearly focused on the long term.
Don't think the new release schedule for maps/stages will change much sales-wise, but the focus on making sure players keep playing as long as possible definitely will have a positive impact. After all, the more people play a game, the more people are talking about it, streaming it, etc.. There's a reason multiplayer-foused games have much better legs than SP-only ones.

Thank you. I thought that was the case but there's so little buzz in general I couldn't be certain lol.
It's one of those games thats more popular in the west, it's not going to light up Media Create.
Wait, i don't understand. So every months, even if you reached the X rank and stay consistent you'll go back to the S+ rank anyway?
Only if you're below the threshold chosen by the devs (not sure if that will be made public or not).
To seriously respond, I wasn't trying to claim Switch is a savior that is going to have console games reach mobile heights- I was making what I thought was an uncontroversial observation that Switch versions going forward will likely make the console games sell better, given Xenoverse 2's performance. I don't think that's really controversial, since the year old port is going to outsell the original version.
numbers in 32 minutes. daylight savings time messing our schedules up
Hunh, well it'll be interesting to see how the My Hero Academia game will do in the West, it may get a boost from the superhero theme. That and it'll be interesting to see how the game turns out with the Gundam exvs team behind it
OOOOOOH that's why we were getting them earlier than usual. Darn daylight savings : P
