Would you consider Mortal Kombat 11 or Doom Eternal to be reduced in scope?

It's unrealistic to expect 3rd parties to prioritize the leading console, both domestically and overseas?
And really, TOA doesn't look like a game beyond Switch's technological reach. It's basically in the same camp as GE3 or Code Vein from the media I'm seeing, and notably below something like DQXI in terms of production values and scope. It's early though, maybe with more media we'll see it's something that seems to be well and truly beyond Switch spec. But I doubt it.
Are you saying that they can't make open world big budget games on the Nintendo Switch?
Switch is still really far to be the leading console overseas.
It is in the US this year so far. Also Spain. Not sure if we have hardware numbers for any other nations?
Also notably, it's the leading market for these sorts of games (JP made multiplats and jrps especially). Vesperia DE evidently sold most on Switch in the west so yes, there appears to be a good argument for prioritizing the platform outside Japan too.
How is this relevant for third parties priorize the Switch in this context? Switch will have to sell a lot more to pass PS4 overseas. Are we just ignoring installed base?
It's not ignoring installed base, but it's also not incorrect to call the currently best selling console the leading console. It's literally leading sales now.
Honestly it's amazing how all these developers and franchises who were fine working on Vita and PS3 all the way until 2016 suddenly became AAA and decided XBO was the bare minimum they could deal with. I'm sure they will all leap straight onto PS5 now that they have a new found love of cutting edge technology.
I'm always amused by this argument because in two years this logic will be spun around. The Switch's massive install base won't matter in the face of the PS5.
Yeah this is what I'm talking about. The idea that having a cut back version graphics wise on the switch would affect the other versions is hilarious.
If/when TW3 gets announced for Switch, the scope argument should become invalid. Specially since people seems to be really sure about the scope of a game based on 3 low resolution screens.
Going by haruda's talking to takahashi in that interview, the devs think so aswell lol
And while PS4 is still the console with a 100M units sold Third parties will continue prioritizing it.
I'm pretty sure most AA japanese games will be announnced for PS5 for the simple fact that they will still being released for PS4/Switch, it's always like this. There won't be many AA PS5 exclusives.
DQXI should honestly already blow that argument out of the water for any of Namco's rpgs.
"We have to sell to those gaijin, bring me the particle and sparks libraries of UE4"
Interesting then that with 90m++ PS4 sold overseas, the last Tales game sold better on Switch in those markets.
People should tell them which are the most popular game in the west (FIFA, CoD and FN).
Add it to the list of previously deemed impossible to port games.
Yeah I don't get it. Witcher 3 if a good port should destroy any excuses for most of these games. That game is actually one of the generation's most demanding hardware wise.
I think Namco is honestly depending on second market. Due to the success of games like Xenoverse 2, Fighter Z, etc, they want to get double dippers. It's annoying but I think that's their reason. I don't think it's because they can't get it to run. Especially since CD is porting the friken Witcher 3 onto it.

JF sold great, though. Probably more than what ToA will sell.
This is honestly a pretty decent bet, I wouldn't surprised at all to see TOA get a Switch downport 6-12 months later. Maybe even from QLOC again.
People seem to forget that GTA V was released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 with 512GB of RAM. There is no way the NS can't do those kinds of games.
It's worth noting that those are 60 FPS games, so being able to drop the frame rate in half really helps. IIRC Doom also redid all the textures for the switch port which sounds like alot of work.
I think DQXI is a better example, It looks like they were able to successfully port the game to switch without much compromise but it literally took years. But again, i agree with the previous poster that the much better solution is to build the game from the ground up for Switch, then port it to the PS4/XBO/PC. Most japanese games don't need high end visual fidelity to sell so having switch graphics won't be that big of a deal.
Really? Can you provide official numbers to support this? This is what I find, the game debuted in UK like this:
Italy:
I can't find anymore data besides this and the NPD one where it shows it at number 10 for Switch
However we don't have digital numbers for any version of the game and comparing the top 10 of any of the platforms doesn't give us the full picture since the 10th place of the PS4 charts definitely sold more than Tales of Vesperia on Switch.
MK11 doesn't drop the framerate, just for the records. It's 60fps on Switch, with some minor framedrops during the cinematic portions.
With the Switch it's always a tech issue until the port is announced 6 months later. Then it was "alwayd destined to come, the game isnt that demanding".
Lmao.
Lmao.
If it takes an 6 extra months of work to get the switch port ready then that kind of is a tech issue.
No it really doesn't. That's like claiming it took a year of work to get octopath working on steam due to technical issues.

It's not 6 months extra work. It's just that they dont plan for simultaneous launches from the start
Panic Button said during their Reddit AMA that it took less than a year to port Doom to Switch, which i assume is anything from 6-11 months. And i think it was at least one year of work on the Switch version of Wolfenstein 2, since it was made side by side with the other platforms.
Sure but it had Jump, it didn't need any time or resources so Namco didn't give it any.
Panic button in 2017-2019 has gotten a insane amount of work, they may have had more people on doom atleast at 1st but they have been working on multiple projects nonstop so I doubt they had anymore then the average on doom, this is all conjecture on my part to be fair
Actual development on DQXIS apparently didn't begin in earnest until the PS4 localization and PC port wrapped. It'll have ended up taking around one year roughly, but with a pretty significant amount of stuff added too. Not really "years" though, in fact Enix and Orca were waiting for UE4 to get up to speed on Switch longer than actual development on the port will have taken.
That Switch even led in the UK (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/artic...-mario-bros-u-deluxe-takes-no-1-in-quiet-week) is generally unheard of and is a good indication it in all likelihood it also led other competitively stronger Nintendo markets (US, France, Germany, Canada, etc). I think Spain it was confirmed to be Switch led too but I'll dig through the PAL charts threads later to find that.

What are the expectations for Doraemon Story of Seasons? Probably one of the bigger releases that week right?
Looks really promising. Could cross 100k LTD without trouble, potentially 150k+ imo.
It will indeed be the biggest release of next week.
High by Doraemon standards, low by Story of Seasons standards.
The game to end all discussion would be The Witcher 3. If that comes out and runs acceptably, then no one, recept maybe Rockster with RDR2, can feasibly claim that their game is impossible on Switch a priori. Wotcher 3 running on Switch despite not having been developed with Switch in mind should end any notion that all but a select few AAA games could run on Switch: if that happens, then being able to run current AAA games on Switch should be the assumption, not the surprise.
Not that I think that will move many to reconsider their stance, mind you. And in 2 years the landscape will have shifted dramatically when PS5 becomes the main target and games get downloaded to PS4 with a lot of effort.
I think the worse of all will be that ToA more than likely still come to switch 6 months to a year later even when it didnt need to
So, as expected, Nintendo announced final special event for Splatoon 2 during the World Championships. Final Splatfest is on July 18-21, and confirmed it's the very last one. Ver. 5.0 will be released after the Splatfest, adding Splatfest mode to local multiplayer. But after that, it's truly the end (other than the usual balance fixes and stuff).
But they also announced Splatoon Koshien 2020, so it's not like game will simply disappear into the abyss after July. In fact, fully expect another World Championship at E3 2020.
So Nintendo is truly getting ready to stop support for Splatoon 2 after 2 full years. Curious to see where they take the franchise next, they're clearly have something in the works.

Whatever it is, it'll probably be taking more risks than 2, which is understandable as the base structure of the game was kinda wasted on the Wii U. I don't expect it until Switch 2.
That wasnt the point I was making. It's leading sales now but only but we're talking total install base. Ps4/xb1/pc covers a hell of a lot more then the switch.
Didn't the witcher release over 4 years ago?
