Makes sense to have your worst week for stock to be during Obon. Well played SE.
There is no plan or mastermind behind these stock issues, just simply underestimating demands, you are reading too much into it

That's a big range for the game, I guess they don't really know.
If the trend for YSO Switch predictions holds, we're looking at 30K!
Variety kit is still the most appealing labo kit. Then vehicle, then robot.
Dont expect vehicle kit to outsell variety.
Dont expect vehicle kit to outsell variety.
If YSO is right, I think we can definitely conclude that anime games do better on Switch. There is an audience for it, probably because the casual share for people buying anime games is higher.
I'vs seen plenty of anime advertise the switch, a coincidence? I think not!!
Yeah, probably won't but I think robot kit likely taught them a valuable lesson in pricing.
Variety kit seems to have the best pacing to it, as it's a bunch of smaller kits meaning you can do one a day or so. Robot is one big piece that's all required. The building is probably the only good part of robot kit so once that's up there's basically nothing more to do with it
I think this depends. I'd still expect most Gundam games or SRT to do better on PS4 for example.
Thing is we won't probably have a reference point before a while and by then the Switch userbase should be bigger than the PS4's.
For now, we have Dragon Ball and AOT that sold better on Switch.
SE's Octopath restock plan
It's infuriating how badly they're botching this. I truly don't understand
Building is currently the only really fun thing about Labo hence the appeal of variety kit. Bunch of medium and smaller projects is better than single big project. Especially if you want to build with others.
I'm a fun of Labo, but because building is only fun part and it's a one time thing, it's really still more of a neat novelty than anything. I'm curious of there will be many repeat buyers.
On that topic, the Switch is literally the perfect artist shorthand to show a gaming device since it can be both a handheld or a home console, instead of needing to have separate designs for each situation. The home console design is literally just the handheld in a box. It being the only current-gen handheld probably also helps, since Vita doesn't seem to be getting a successor anytime soon.
it's less that and more "switch is popular with the demographic"
Vanillaware would be right at home there.
BTW does anyone know what are they doing right now? (I guess finishing 13 sentinels, but who knows)
Just that I think. Shocked at the lack of a Muramasa HD on Switch honestly.
In fact, I dreamed last night that Arc Rise Fantasia 2 was announced for Switch and PS4, but because it wasn't by Imageepoch, it looked like poop as if it were a PS2 game or something, or just heavily unfinished.
It was weird.
Yes please! With the Rebirth content at the very least, as I only played the Wii version.
Funny enough, I've heard folks give the opinion that Ignition's original translation was preferred over Aksys' more literal one. Rising Star actually polished the former up so it'd likely be the definitive translation for folks. Honestly why didn't Rising Star re-release the Wii original under them with their translation in NA on the Wii U eShop I will never know.
Regardless, I'd hope XSEED will FINALLY get to do what they were supposed to do and localize a hopeful Switch version. I still remember when XSEED was supposed to get Muramasa and Arc Rise Fantasia before Ignition got their paws on both. :'(
Unless Nintendo changed their distribution/production system with the Switch, all game carts are made in Japan without exception, though the whole thing is assembled (basically, cart put in box, etc.) in Germany for Europe. Nothing should be made outside Japan, except the cardboard sheets for Nintendo Labo (which are all done in their respective regions).
Nope. All games carts are made in Japan, no exception.
Never seen the back of a US Switch game case before, that's neat that it says Made in Japan on the back.
Is there anything more concrete than that? I can see a situation where they produce the cart parts in Japan, ship them to someplace closer, and then do the writing and assembling and printing.
I just find it difficult to believe that they would make, write, assemble, and package the games in Japan and then ship them, since the shipping time would be about 3 weeks to the US, and who knows how long it would take to get from Japan to Europe.
I don't think there is enough evidence for that. All we can really conclude is anime games have solid success on Switch.
Well this is written on the back of my German switch games
Edit:
And this on street fighter 30th anniversary :

The empty cart maybe.Well this is written on the back of my German switch games
It's impossible this works unless there is transport by air.
Getting game cart shipments exclusively from Japan to world wide seems counterproductive.
Shipping some components to European or American factories like switch boxes and casings might make more sense.
Shipping some components to European or American factories like switch boxes and casings might make more sense.
Well on my wii games it is made in Japan and assembled in Germany.
Edit:
Same on 3ds.
it's possible the carts are made in japan but the roms are pressed in NA and Europe
I know, I just tried to help out with more information.
But let's say capcom imports those carts. Do they send them to Germany to get the rom on it? Or maybe they just import them directly to Germany
Just wanted to say that Minecraft never went below 15k since its physical release about two months ago.

Question. Is Famitsu releasing this week? Because they didn't last week for Obon naturally and I wasn't sure if they're taking this coming week of also.
Thanks! :)
Thanks! :)
Yeah, 13 Sentinels is taking a long time to develop. Dragon's Crown release was way back in 2013. I guess it makes sense, since they did release Odin Sphere Leifthrasir back in 2016. Plus they only have 29 employees, according to their website.
This one's my favorite "ad", from a manga:

A Switch with PlayStation buttons! XD
I disagree.
Only cause it's exactly the type of game that is more appealing on a handheld.
Plus, I bet it offers more than the OG NSMBU did.
Mario Kart wasn't buried on Wii U. It's the second-best selling game on the platform in Japan.

"It was a week there was no release for Obon Festival. [NSW] Minecraft won 1st place at its 9th week. It has sold more than [WIU] Minecraft: Wii U Edition in about nine months from release, and has appeal at a wide range of ages.
In top 10, Switch software has taken 8 from 10 places as a result of high availability of Switch hardware again. Since new releases before Obon were low profile we have the impression this year is lacking the excitement comparing to last year."
