People (one on this board, not Japanese) are calling these kusoge, we'll need a whole new word to describe how terrible that collection would be.

that's old (like before Xenoblade 2 release old). they're just advertising that again
EDIT: actually, the technical artist stuff is new, everything else isnt
Wonder if this paves the way for a new Jump -Star game. The two DS games were wildly successful.
Tbf except for dragon quest,captain tsubasa and maybe that fotns game,the jump famicom mini classic will probably the closest thing we get to that
It didn't take long.
Minecraft already at 8pts on Comgnet. A lot of people were clearly waiting for the retail version.
The best opening for the series was on Vita (36.593).

So now that Labo has seen a bump in sales in Japan, can we put to rest this tired narrative of it being a "Failure"?
So basically the list of July titles is :
July 12: Shining Resonance Refrain
July 13: Octopath Traveler
July 13: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
July 13: Splatoon 2 DLC ?
July 19 : Taiko
July 19: Sonic Mania Plus
July 19: Closed Nightmare
July 19: 不思議の幻想郷C -RELOADED-
July 26: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Hou
July 26: Rockman X Collection 1&2
July 26: Dragon Quest X All in One Package
July 26: Makai Senki Disgaea Refine
July 26: Waku Waku Doubutsu Land
July 26: Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai: Library Party
July 26: Tennis World Tour
Slow month.
Compared with July 2017 (retail release only)
July 20: Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star
July 21: Splatoon 2
Are you trying to say that 3rd party support is significantly ramping up ?
Because I swear that some people in these threads were clearly arguing that missing God Eater was a clear sign that the Switch would never get 3rd party support.
what a stupid argument that was
Just want to put it into the perspective that how the line-up of Switch grows, especially when the whole list of July 2018 does not even have one single Nintendo game (other than Octo Expansion).
Regarding God Eater 3, looking at its graphics, I think a Switch version can totally work. BNGI is just having a weird stance towards Switch.
I'd be surprised if there's no new color or bundle or price promotion or whatever for Switch in July.
I think they probably just don't have anyone to work on it, if they have all their Switch capable developers on their announced Switch projects, Tales (wwwwwww), and Nintendo's contracted projects they may not have anyone to put on a game like God Eater 3, which has no guarantee Nintendo fans will be interested.
Did you not see that it was golden week or the bumps in the rest of the switch software?
Tbf Splatoon 2 and DQXI war were much bigger than anything that is gonna be released on July this year
I did. And the fact that it got a bump in GW and still hasn't left the top 5 since launch shows that it's a consistent seller.
nintendo should follow up labo with variety game pack 1 or something to take advantage of all the creations from variety kit, i dont think they should count on people's own creations to sustain the concept, they need their own games to set an example and motivate people to create their own
i think this is the path they will take rather than variety kit pack 2 or something since people would be feel its redundant after experiencing variety kit 1

Ah yes, you have a point. Let's wait for the reveal of those rumored BNGI Switch projects (Prime 4, RR8) before making conclusion on BNGI's output.
Absolutely, both of them are multi-million sellers. Only Octopath (maybe Taiko? Don't know its sales in the past) has a chance to reach 1 million. Personally speaking, I have a hard time figuring out which should I buy 'first'. Octopath is a lock, and I thought Disgaea Refine is also a Day 1 purchase. But now Taiko is confirmed, I am not so sure. The price of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni may go up instead of going down (just look at how expensive the PS3 version of Higurashi and Umineko are), I may also pick it up as soon as possible.
Yea I don't see that at all. Just because it had a small bump during golden week means nothing. Let's see how it does the next two weeks
Nintendo is approaching Labo similarly to Lego, that being, releasing multiple kits over time, often grouped into themes. So we may see an Outdoors Kit or a Machines Kit as well.
yeah, it will do that easily.
i thought his comment was about japan
in that case I think other july games that will do 1m include Toad (3ds + Switch), and I suppose sonic if you add it to what it's done digitally

FuRyu announces Beyblade Burst: Battle Zero for Switch, out in JP on Oct 25th.

Nice! Good spot.
Taiko will come close (700k+ LTD for sure), but but probably won't reach it. With the Switch, you never know tho!
A new name on Switch! Nice to see them make the switch (badum tsss) from 3DS. They're usually one if the slowest ones. I wonder if they're gonna port one of their own projects. I think The Alliance Alive misses a lot of potential in the west, simply because it's on 3DS and not on Switch.
Furyu finally joining the Switch fun.
Legend of Legacy 2 or Allianve Alive 2 for Switch coming soon.

Nintendo direct for Q3 might have been pushed after E3. With all these announcements from Nintendo and third parties for July, plus August / September titles not dated before E3, a May / early June direct is moving away. Captain Toad will have to deal with 2-3 weeks of preorders in that case.
I think any direct between now and E3 will be game-specific: highlight Pokémon or Smash in preparation for a full blowout at E3.
If what Emily said was right,there should be a pokemon direct this month
Little Dragons Cafe, created by the creator of Harvest Moon, is coming to Japan. And guess who's publishing it there? Marvelous.

Maybe Beyblade would have been successful for longer than two years if the oft-repeated catchphrase wasn't a synonym for farting.

Oops, forget Capitan Todd. That is a million seller, period.
Edit: Beaten
BTW, the article says the game is releasing on August 30th.
Edit: Beaten
I wish nintendo would change some of this date, all to good games to cannibalize each other :/

True, but if you compare the volume of releases to Switch last year or PS4 in 205, the difference is stark. Support in terms of volume has definitely ramped up.

With Pokemon for holidays 2018 Animal Crossing goes for (early?) 2019. I was expecting the opposite a few months ago. It wouldn't make a big difference in Japan but at west the gap at brand popularity is huge and maybe Nintendo didn't want to take risks.
With Idea Factory and FuRyu jumping in this month, what notable 3DS/Vita studios are still left without a Switch commitment? Falcom obviously, although they're licensing. I'd say Spike Chunsoft too although their western branch has now started picking up other publisher's stuff. Anyone else?
