Any new games like Ys IX or CS3/4 yes but I could see older games ported by other publishers too. Things like Gurumin (Mastiff), Ys Origin (Dotemu) or the Trails in the Sky trilogy (Kadokawa). The biggest question mark is really Xseed.
Fascinating that you think Vita and Switch are the same generation.
Ah, thank you for pointing that out as I worded it poorly. Obviously the Vita and Switch are not the same generation. I was referring to how ToCS I & II had already released on PS3 and so many PS4 owners had already played it on that system, but that the Ys VIII Switch release was the first on Nintendo system so Switch owners didn't already have the chance to play it on 3DS or Wii U.
There is hardly a competition. Comparisons with previous main entries will be the important.
I don't think platform ownership delineates along these manufacturer lines as neatly as you imply. Switch is very much the successor to PSP/Vita despite not being a PlayStation and not that dissimilar to your PS3/4 comparison.
Well, if the overlap is 50% with PS4/XB1 in US despite PS4/XB1 being about 3-4x Switch, then in Japan it stands to reason that it is much less than 50%. Of course, we can't say for certain until we get numbers, but neither can we assume that overlap is anywhere close to 50%.
I don't think there is any evidence to indicate that. Only Nintendo first party titles are suspect right now because they are vastly discounted via the NSO vouchers, and are likely to have their digital share exceed those of games that launched before the vouchers were active.
They manage to gather those resources when it comes to Steam ports. Personally I'd argue they can't really afford not to port what they can to Switch now that NISA's eating their lunch on new localizations. Even better if Marvelous can also publish the games in Japan and help build up the market there too.
I doubt that's the case for Japanese games at US. For AAA games of western publishers there's apparently big digital share with GAAS and MTX model most of them follow but when we talk for Japanese publishers it's not the same.
wonder why the Switch release had a higher price. cart prices?
Why do you assume it's bad? Actually from what I read it is a good game, it's just a matter of the anime no longer being popular and Level 5 running the franchise to the ground.
Well, you asked "Is the game that bad?", so the way I read it was that you assumed it was at least somewhat bad. While my English is quite good, it is not my native language,so I sometimes miss nuances.
Outside of Japan Smash doesn't have a chance against Mario Kart.
Retailers like GEO and Tsutaya always underestimate evergreens and long sellers and usually overestimate newer games because of deals they do. Mario Maker most likely went up last week because of Obon holidays coming, it's unlikely Fire Emblem followed it.
Even in the US ?
Mario Kart is more mainstream and accessible than Smash Bros. US is strong territory for Smash but things will change at holidays.
50% of this thread is about concern trolling for Switch software sales numbers and/or 3rd Party reactions to them.
You can't extrapolate digital share from value. Physical limited editions and eShop promotions are included in there. It's not a 1:1 comparison.
You made me really curious so I looked and I also have to say, wow. That was certainly a choice.
Pokémon Sword and Shield = 73 pts
Sword is more than twice the shield number, is it a common thing for pokémon preorders ?
