As a Xenoblade fan, I would never thought that XC2 would be as sucessful as the game is.
It's a weird, but very much enjoyable scenario! Hope that the next game Takahashi and Monolith would came with full force, hopefully before the end of the Switch's lifecycle.
Could be a nice RPG lineup this year..FE, Octopath, DQ XI, presumably something Tales
I hope IS took the time to make FE Switch as good as possible. Feels like it's surpassed the need for bad anime fan service and a good narrative would help it grow considerably

For the HW they always have put some impressive cutscenes in their games (PoR, RD, Awakening...). I cannot wait to see what they can do with a more capable Hardware.
The 3DS game had mad legs, even better than I remembered to be honest.
Fire Emblem Switch is gonna go well over 3m
Lol, the fan service is definitely gonna be present. The series only had it's recent big breakout when they embraced it along with the dating sim/shipping elements

Monolith's next game is poised to be their breakout hit, I think.
- medieval aesthetic
- action gameplay
- online modes, possibly co-op and/or competitive
because restocks. it was one of the games that was out of stock for a bit
I do wonder if a future G release would take the form of a DLC package this time around.
"Bad anime fanservice" is a big part of why the series isn't dead now.
but xb2 is already a breakout hit(still weird that I haven't seen any PR tweet about the game from Nintendo)
I think digital sales average only about 10-15% in Japan. But yeah, 3 million in Japan alone is reasonable.

well, I am running a different definition of breakout hit, however, I still think their next game could far exceed XC2
The majority of the sales is from the west. We need to see how the leg goes in the west.
BTW nice avatar, Kiseki Himura is a treasure.
All depend on the dlc if u ask me. Right now it is doing really well and internet seems to really likey the game too.
NIS held their yearly event. Not much announced, though they're bringing Labyrinth of Refrain to Switch, PS4 and steam and bringing it to the west
I mean the post launch supports for the game has been great both with patches and dlcs,especially for a single player rpg,I think it could do more than 200-300k(which will already be great)
Edit:you have really good taste Aters,cheers
Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk is already out for PS4 in Japan. Perhaps we'll see a Switch version later.
Ohh... that was fast LOL.

Their last interview said they were trying to decide the combat system, really doesn't sound like 2018.
You will get Tokyo Mirage Sessions DX and you will like it
will buy it for sure if it's real
Well I missed that and now it comes across as even more of an idle dream.
Played it twice on the Wii U though...:( but yeah it'd be good if more people got to play it.
While true....FE Switch would have been big regardless of XB2 performance.
IS/Nintendo will make sure that FE Switch continues where Awakening stopped in terms of expanding the reach of the series.
IMO, group participation is one of the best things about horror games and movies. I've watched some awful shit horror movies that I actually ended up enjoying because of the company I was with. Watched Rings with a couple people last weekend. Terrible movie. Would recommend.
RE8, even if it isn't co-op, should be a game that makes people want to play with company, passing the controller around and having a good mix of scares and laughs. I think that's been the real culprit of recent success of horror games. Streamers play games like Outlast and RE7 and it becomes a group activity. People want that in horror.
Of course what people want even more than that is a co-op action game. That's fine too, I guess.

Of course, otherwise NIS wouldn't make an announcement and thank its fans.
NIS also had to apologize because the game was sold out at many places.

And this.

FE was going to sell well regardless, this is true. But the fact that XB2 succeeded to such an extent bodes well for future jRPGs like Tales, Octopatch and whatever other project third parties are going to develop. For example, I expect a game like Ni no Kuni to find a large audience on Switch.
Namco Bandai choice to rely on PS4 for this kind manga/anime tie-ins has really been unfortunate. This is a sign that PS4 is not the best choice for all kind of third party software. The IP sold 80k on 3DS and exploited the more heterogenous and younger audience of the platform. It's a good thing they went multi for My Hero Academia at least.

So NIS event was just ports and localisation?
Thats quite the segway, from RE devs comments to MHW.
Evidently many old fans are delighted with MHW and I'm sure many of them own multiple systems.
That Capcom cares about old RE fans?
I don't think its a breakout hit and I don't think Nintendo sees it as one either. If it gets to a larger milestone then maybe Nintendo will do PR. Always felt PR usually tends to be near launch periods or when its LTD the numbers usually have to be relatively impressive.
Above YSO seems like a growing trend for MHW.

OP
Capcom failed to stuff the channels with RE7, retailers had low confidence on it.
Initial shipment was 2,5m, it added 500k 2-3 later and other 500k until the end of March. Price going down so soon didn't come from overshipping.
why do you think nintendo doesn't see it as one?what numbers does Nintendo need for its to be a break out hit?
OP
OP
Xenoblade 2 must be the cheapiest entry of all 3 and the one that sold the most. From the moment Nintendo decided to give updates to it it's a clear success for them.
It was a NISA event, so yeah.
Disappointed by lack of Liar Princess localization announcement, but a Coven is fine too.
I don't know fam,someone told me that it's not a breakout hit and didn't think Nintendo sees it as one either
