Since we are talking about Nintendo-published games, people should put Dragon Quest Builders 2 on their list no ?

I forgot nintendo was publishing it. That's a big day 1 game for me
Probably, yes, (I did) although some* might argue there's a difference between simply published in the West by Nintendo (Bravely Default, say) and funded and published by Nintendo (Bayo 2). Apparently DxM is one of the latter.
* the same types who like to argue about whether its a handheld or a console.
It truly was a surprise. If they never put out a demo I would've never bought the game. I was like "eh I'll try the demo. I like DQ, but this is Minecrafty so we'll see".
Then I ended up really liking the demo and bought the game. Beat it 💯
I don't know if it would be convenient to have Pokemon and Animal Crossing so near, their audiences are quite overlapped on my opinion.
I continue to think that a summer release would make more sense, or at least I hope so. Because of how much near Pokemon and Smash were, I couldn't enjoy enough the first one and barely finished it playing one hour per day, while with a gap of 2 months I would also completed the dex, just to provide a personal example.
In Nintendo's financials they had DQB2 as a 2019 for the west I believe.
there's probably no exclusivity, but there will most definitely be differences in marketing.
Awesome. Good news.
Yeah, I figure. It's just one of those games I'd probably rather play on PS4.
Either AC or Pokémon would make a lot of sense to coincide with the release of the (cheaper?) revision. We only think it's coming out in the second half, right?
2016 had the NX reveal. Every single week was a potential Direct, from like July onwards.
It was crazy.
Fire Emblem's difficulty is highly customizable. There are Easy, Normal, Hard, and Lunatic difficulties, which you combine with either Classic Mode (permanent death) or Casual Mode (no permanent death).
It's perfect for newcomers, whether they want a breezy RPG experience, a difficult RPG experience, an easier tactical experience, or rigorous tactical challenges.
As a side note to my earlier post, the Splatoon developers also said in their Iwata Asks that Splatoon was the first major new Nintendo IP since Pikmin. So they weren't counting Xenoblade either, for whatever reason.
Yep, exactly. I think it's worth adding that this obviously also represents a lot of replay value too!
They were talking about EAD specifically - which I think basically brings you back to what you were saying, you're hankering for a new EAD/SPD/EPD/whatever they're called now IP
They were part of EPD so it makes sense for them to only think abour EPD games
A source of... fibre? If serious though, then that's cool. We will see.
I'm assuming the day of the direct will be before the Pirhana Plant amino releases and they shadowdrop it in Smash during the Direct. So I'm expecting the direct before Feb 14th.
I don't think its the lack of new IP from Nintendo that's people's issue. It's the type of IP.
Basically they want a new IP that is a high budget, single-player focused retail release that plays like a traditional game and is developed by a particular part of Nintendo's development team. It's quite a specific thing to want but I'm sure they'll be at least one release on the Switch that fits that criteria.

Miyamoto's latest quote comes from 2017. And it appears Takahashi agrees with him. Those are Nintendo's most influential creative people.
Very doubtful Furukawa will do much differently, especially when he seems more interesting in strengthening Nintendo's mobile divisions.
And have Overwatch not be on PC, no thanks. As much as I love Nintendo, a Nintendo-owned Blizzard likely would have ended Overwatch DLC support after the first year or so.
I know this time without a Direct is a bit crappy, but do you guys even remember most of 2016?
One measily Direct in the first half of the year, Wii U was literally dead, E3 had very little besides Zelda, Smash DLC had ended, Pokemon was their sole major release that year, a mountain of fake NX rumors, like, wow, how did we even make it through that shit. Thinking about that time makes me thankful for all of the games we have to play now. We got it pretty good now.
That was almost 11 months of nothing.
This is nothing compared to that time, not even close

IIRC the most recent SOS news was they were re-releasing Tale of Two Towns for the 3DS with some improvements. I don't think it has a Japanese release date yet and there's not very much info on it. There's been no info whatsoever on a switch game which has honestly been the biggest disappointment for me, given tale of two towns was my least favorite modern HM/SOS.
The difference is that the WiiU was dead, everyone had reached the acceptation phase, and the NX/Switch was something to look forward. Now, the Switch it supposed to enter its peak years and I understand why people would be eager for news about existing or new games, and specifically the kind of games that take time to develop (ambitious is the usual label though it's not an accurate one). Also, 2018 was for many a disappointment, and the "wait for the upcoming direct" line which was already the narrative at that time, before we all just had to accept that Nintendo wasn't showing much because they just didn't have much things to show.
I was very optimistic for 2019 just few weeks ago and I haven't given up on the hope that it still may be a good year from a first party perspective. But with the slow start of the year which we have right now, combined with the absence of visibility and the impressions that things in general move very very slowly at Nintendo (the online service and their legacy content being still as dreadful as they could be), it's difficult not to be reminded of 2018.
Well, it isn't like the Switch isn't getting these games regularly. Sushi Striker, Octopath, ARMS, Splatoon 2, even multiplatform titles like VC4 and Mega Man 11. 2018 already had quite a few of these games, and 2019 should have even more of them.
I think they can. If we go by the standard development cycle for a game, then they should have enough content to fill the entirety of 2019 and 2020 at least. There may be a few rough patches of no big releases in a year, but it's probably never going to be like a Wii U drought again, as there's still going to be games coming regularly.
Whoever is asking this honestly has no idea how Nintendo works. Nintendo's MO has always been to make games that are unique from everything else on the market, even if its in a popular genre. Often utilizing a quirky control scheme, or console gimmick. So whatever Nintendo comes up with will fit that same line of thinking.
I think they specifically said the first character driven new IP from EAD, which is true. People really need to start paying attention to the language in these interviews.

2016 was fine for me. We knew NX news would come sooner or later. Even when they said E3 would only be Zelda I was jazzed because I was looking forward to learning more about that game so much. E3 was great, there was so much to digest with BotW. I'll always remember watching that trailer for the game, and then all those streams. And all year long the hype for Sun and Moon wasn't bad either.
In retrospect 2016 was a good time. It became a bit tedious to wait for NX news around September, but then we finally got it and it was great.
Daemon X Machina looks way more fun to me than most of Nintendo's extant switch software.
Ho boy was it indeed hard to be a Nintendo fan in 2016.
When kimishima announced that E3 would only be Zelda and no NX, it probably was the biggest disappointment regarding video games since WiiU first E3.
People need to Chill. 2019 will be a very good year for the Switch.
They're not directly publishing it, they're just distributing it. Publishing also includes marketing efforts and there's no way in the hell Nintendo do the marketing for a game that's also coming to PS4. And considering how aggressive Nintendo is against its rivals, I don't think even their distribution deal allows Square to release the game on other platforms in West.
Except the closest game to this is Armored Core and we haven't seen one in 6 years, so sure "every month".
Technically we don't know if the game is coming on PS4 in Western markets too, Square has yet to announce it.
I remember how relieved I was once the Switch was announced. it felt like Nintendo went on radio silence for so long and then the floodgates opened. I know people are frustrated with the silence between Directs, but it's true that this is nothing compared to that period between the death of the Wii U and the switch announcement. Until then it was almost as if Nintendo wasn't even much of a presence anymore except for BOTW.
That's why I questioned it. It would seem incredibly odd for Nintendo to foot the bill for full on publishing if SE is gonna go ahead and just publish it themselves on PS4 in NA. Marketing is totally different, multiplat games are constantly marketed by the big three, so I don't know why you'd assume Nintendo would absolutely not market the game under any circumstances unless it was exclusive.
Looks like Darksiders is coming to Switch indeed, but the Twitter account doesn't necessarily hint at Darksiders III. It could as well be a port of the 1 and/or 2 remaster. And in case of Amazon.de article 1024357, that's the Austrian standard edition of the PS4 version of Darksiders III, which is German language, but without USK rating. So it's not like those missing article numbers necessarily mean a Switch version.
This wouldn't surprise me. THQNordic is literally the best western supporter of Switch. They even have 4 big releases in Q1 and another one is heavily rumored (Red Faction Remarstered). Darksiders games will come to Switch sooner or later.
Tale of Two Twons + was released in Japan in 2017 (it was only released there, no plans for any other countries since Japan didn't receive the 3DS remake.
Nintendo published in the beginning of 2017 (when Switch was presented) a chart with all the games that would be released on Switch, including Story of Seasons, with no date for then (TBA) and now. We haven'd had any info since then. At the beginning of last year, Marvelous opened a new studio, Hakama, which has published one single game since then (Dragon Marked for Death, January 31 2019) and currently working on two other not-revealed games. At this point, we don't even know which studio is working on it nor if they're working on it.
Makes me very sad :(
I wouldn't say they're the best Switch supporter. It's most cheap late ports, which are nice to have, but most of their main products are completely skipping the Switch.
can confirm my sources said the same
but my sources are the guys behind the local walmart
Never said "Darksiders 3". I mentioned Darksiders in general.
Getting Darksiders 1&2 would be amazing. I need to play the series.
February 7 would make sense at this point. First week after Nintendo's financials. I can't see it January 31st because Nintendo's Investors Meeting likely will be that day.
