It's already on mobile anyways

Stories on Switch would sell more just by virtue of not being on mobile

A port of Stories without confirmation of a new MH for Switch will get just about the same reception as MP Federation Force did.

Stories is appealing enough on it's own that I'm not sure about that. It's a port people have been asking for too, MPFF was a game almost no one wanted.

Chris1964 · May 19, 2019

Resident Evil Revelations on Switch went so high because it was same priced with gyros added. Overpriced RE won't do many things without extras. Motion controls on Resident Evil 4 Wii played big part for its success.

Honeymoon period between Capcom and Switch has ended if they don't try a bit.

I could see P3rd HD as a base building lead-in to Switch's Gen 5 game, particularly if it revives the Portable sibling brand. Sort of like how Wii got G right before 3/Tri.

Then again XX/GU sort of already did the same thing so maybe there's not much point. Enhanced ports of Stories 1.3 or Nikki DX might be more worthwhile in a way.

Well what is XX at? 350k with the discount version?

That's probably what I would hope for with a 3rd HD ver port. If we are talking base building I'd say that would be a better path to go down than updating a game that sold not much more than that on it's first go. It'd probably end up more like Snack World.

But if its about bringing in a different demographic I'd agree. Nikki would probably do gangbusters too.

I could also see a different classic port like 2nd G HD. While 3rd was the best selling MH, 2nd G is still seen as the height by many fans. Also 3rd is sort of supplanted content wise by 3G.

Well in that case you already have 3G HD waiting in the wings. Maybe it could follow the trend of other Wii U ports. It all falls in line with Capcom's plan for this fiscal year.

Well I think part of the reasoning for 2nd G or 3rd specifically would be in resurrecting the Portable brand if they're also using it for the Gen 5 Switch game. I can see the merits in 3G or even 4G but they don't check that box.

That or keep Cross going. I just think the previous HD versions might be the easiest to justify since the art budget would probably be smaller.

I get betting on legacy titles, but porting those games when Generations is already on Switch isn't going to move the kind of numbers they want. they should be porting experiences they can't already get on teh switch, like MHStories, or the DMCs people actually want, like DMC4, DmC, or the entire trilogy

Now hold on there partner. Nobody of worth actually wants DmC over the original, its just adding anything else with it would be a much stronger deal

A MH3U/4U HD double pack for Switch might do decently well; while costing very little to make...

I could see Capcom doing that...

2019 will see another drop for Switch Capcom sales in Japan, 2nd year in row.

2017>2018>2019.

If something like Resident Evil 5 gets released things will improve a bit but so far without important titles sales are even more anemic than 2018. West had Monster Hunter last year, 2018>2019 is given here.

It's a shame Capcom don't provide a platform breakdown of their revenue, like Ubisoft does. That sure would be amusing.

The notice of Comcept being bought by Level 5 was the 15th June 2017
The KS page was updated the 15 June 2017 with the screenshoted comments (link is there but it's only available for backers to see)

Considering what is said and the timeline, Comcept probably thought Level 5 were giving them free money to finish their mess but in the end Level 5 backed out really quickly for some reason (like not swimming in Youkai Watch money anymore).

I of course don't expect anything from it anymore, nor do I wish it in the first place, but I at least want to laugh and enjoy this mess as much as I can considering how much money I put into that.

Gonna single-handedly compensate for slow May and June sales.

SMM2 really is the best of both worlds.

SMM1 on Wii U was great, but held back by unpopular platform.
SMM1 on 3DS was great, but missing some features, but it had a significant amount of extra content and was on popular platform.
SMM2 is massively expanded game on popular platform with all features and content.

What would constitute as a very big opening ? 500-600k?

Lelouch0612 · May 21, 2019

I think there are comparisons to be drawn between Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Maker 2 :

The previous entries in their respective (sub-)franchises were held back by the WiiU, released in 2015 and still became million-sellers :

[WiiU] Splatoon (Nintendo) {2015.05.28} (¥5.980) - 156.610 / 1.679.880
[WiiU] Super Mario Maker (Nintendo) {2019.09.10} (¥5.980) - 143.514 / 1.076.843

Now, Splatoon 2 already doubled Splatoon 1 LTD, so expectations for Super Mario Maker 2 is for the game to cross 2 millions. Keep in mind that the Switch is more mainstream than the WiiU so that could benefit Mario games.

Looking at the opening weeks would be misguided since Splatoon 2 opened on a far lower install base but 500k+ should be achievable (especially given SMBUDX opening) and bode very well for its lifetime numbers.

My expectations : 500k FW/2,5m+ LTD

Skittzo · May 21, 2019

I wonder if SMM2 could potentially get back to NSMB heyday global numbers. Not 30M+ but maybe somewhere about 20M?

I guess the requirement for NSO will probably hamper its potential quite a bit?

Gartooth · May 21, 2019

Probably unrealistic, but I hope SMM2 has the biggest FW on Switch in 2019. It really feels like they took the Wii U game's winning concept and made it into the ultimate 2D Mario game.

That's absolutely impossible. SMM2's ceiling is 10 million. It's a concept that has inherently limited appeal compared to a true, new traditional 2D Mario game.

100% unrealistic, even huge selling Mario games are not frontloaded.

In fact, no Mario game opened above 1m and obviously Pokemon should do that easily.

However, Mario games are leggy so it has a shot at being the best selling Switch game in 2019.

Why do you say that? Create, Share and Play games seem to have huge appeal these days.
