Does Sega still own the rights to Alien or did the Disney buyout change things?

And possibly, as they had Feral Interactive port Alien Isolation to Switch a year ago.

What's the name of the guy in charge of the Danganronpa side of Spike Chunsoft? I forgot which side was cool with Nintendo and which one was Sony loyalists. Maybe we can add them to the alliance and call them the...quartet?
or the four horsemen of the apocalypse
Danganronpa being on PSP, Vita, iOS, Android, but not Switch for some reason will always be baffling to me. Tales or Yakuza I can somewhat understand the reluctance, but Danganronpa??
It should be the Spike side who is loyal to Sony. Danganronpa's creator Kodaka already has a Switch game released (Death Come True).
And World's End Club, which is console-exclusive to Switch.
World's End Club launches September 4 for Apple Arcade, in spring 2021 for Switch - Gematsu
So evidently it's not Kodaka, but the execs at Spike, or a legal issue.
I know this is a joking post, but I'm curious if the switch version will be leggier. Maybe we'll get to see then cross streams. Was Ryza 1 leggier on switch?Ryza 2 lower on Switch?

This is up to the end of 2019. What Oregano mentioned is the case as well: stock issues messed up its potential a bit at retail.

"Bandai Namco – Katsuhiro Harada (Tekken Project director; also produced the PSVR title "Summer Lesson")
THOUGHTS ON PRESENTATION
I wasn't expecting them to begin the presentation by announcing the price. The price is exactly what I'd expect from a marketing point of view, but if you count all the individual peripherals…
The full thing is pretty cheap, and I say that as someone familiar with the inner workings of the system. I have no idea how they kept the price that low.
INTERESTING ASPECTS OF SWITCH
I've been interested in the HD Rumble for some time now. You can feel a glass marble rolling around inside of a metal box, or feel the spot where a bouncy ball bounces. It's interesting that it can be used like the so-called 3D sound. And this is just a crazy idea of mine, but the system itself is so light that if you took out the Joy-Con with the IR camera and set it up, and placed the screen in some kind of apparatus, you could transform it into a wireless VRHMD by rendering the left and right sides of the screen separately for each eye. So I think the Switch is capable of a lot of different things, depending on the ideas of the developer."

SEGA – Toshihiro Nagoshi (Yakuza)
THOUGHTS ON PRESENTATION
I came up on the stage during the presentation, and even during the the preparation meeting, you could feel this extraordinary fighting spirit from Nintendo. So I felt kind of nervous for the first time in a while, as I was the one who kicked off their third-party announcements.
INTERESTING ASPECTS OF SWITCH
It's like a mechanical nexus of modern computer technology. It takes a solid resolve to pack absolutely everything in like that, without making any sacrifices. Now it's up to the software studios to make the most out of it. If they can make games with unique enough features to rival the plethora of features the Switch itself has, they'll be great matches.
Funny, isn't it? :p
"Bukkoro – Yoko Taro (Director and scenario writer for Drakengard and NieR series)
THOUGHTS ON PRESENTATION
When I heard that both the Switch and Breath of the Wild were coming out a week after the game I'm currently working on, all of my memories vanished.
INTERESTING ASPECTS OF SWITCH
I don't know, as I no longer have any memories. But it's wonderful that you can separate the controllers from the screen. They didn't announce anything like this at the presentation, but I hope the Switch is capable of a vertical mode. For vertical shooters or pinball, of course. Please take that into consideration."

We had this repartition for the Animal Crossing players:
Well this isn't clear-cut data for the Switch demographic as a whole, but still gives us some indications that the majority of Switch owners are young adults (which is something I always assumed).Also we have a chart made last year about the demographic from Nintendo (only from the US though)
So Nagoshi has either access to explicit data we don't have or he is just talking out of his ass by tooting the ol' "Nintendo is for kiddies" flute.
He said (over ten years late) that F-Zero GX sold 1.5 million. But it's not on Nintendo's official million seller list. In other words, his numbers are at least 50% higher than reality.
The worst thing is that some sites have taken his number as official.
This chart is from 2017. It covers the first 8 months of Switch being on market and the data comes from voluntary survey questions sent to emails registered to Nintendo Accounts. Also by the wording of the question, it doesn't account for multiple people in the same home using the device.Also we have a chart made last year about the demographic from Nintendo (only from the US though)
Square Enix and their Switch RPG are so guilty of this, haha.
To be fair with Ryza, that game was legitimately a surprise hit.
Square Enix is the one to question because it's happened like five times with them.

The translation came from Sega and it's hard to identify a context where he intended to say something different. While his full quote does begin with him saying that Nintendo platforms are played by a wide range of ages, I don't think we've misread him.

Marvelous doesn't strike me as the kind of company who'd throw a lot of money behind something risky like that. So I wonder if it's a game they were hired by someone else to do or they are dipping their toes into that particular (western) market.Marvelous 1st Studio hiring for PS5/Xbox Series X development:

Maybe but so far if Marvelous announcements miss something that is PlayStation.
I remember reading these back in the day, so hopeful lol, reading those three blurbs, it feels like Yolo taro is the most honest despite probably doing the least ironically
Yea if there is one Japanese 3rd party we should expect to skip Nintendo, its definitely Marvelous. Just look at the 2021 lineup. Sony exclusives abound.
