The point is the rate that the Switch is getting RPG's barely 2 years into its lifecycle is very good.
Considered isn't the same as actually getting. Even with Kingdom Hearts 3, it makes no sense that the Switch doesn't even get that giant collection edition. Out of this list, Final Fantasy 15 is the most understandable since that game barely runs on a base PS4.
it's a prequel to Xenoblade 2 but it's also a stand alone story. the only Xenoblade games that are connected is Xenoblade 1 and 2, but it's not plot important
Admittedly, I ran into the same problem. Despite doing all the side-quests, I still had to do a bunch to unlocked the final area since a lot more side-quests suddenly unlocked on me, which did annoyed me since I was ready to see the ending of the game by that point.
But it doesnt have Pokemon and Fire Emblem which are my fav. JRPG franchises. But yeah, PS4 has more variety in JPRGs.

Man I want him to get the people he needs ASAP to make games. He seems to have that hunger and he's proven. He's not a rookie.
Can you imagine Monolith doing 3 games at a time...good god
Apparently Kingdom Hearts 3 has performance issues on the PS4 and PS4 Pro. I don't think it will ever come to Switch.
Because it just finished for PS4 and XB1? Why would they worry about Switch?
In the case of Kingdom Hearts 3, it sounds more like poor optimization than actually pushing the PS4. Unreal Engine 4 is very scaleable, so it's odd Kingdom Hearts 3 has the same issues as Final Fantasy 15. Especially the frame pacing.
I think KHIII will come for Switch eventually. They'll have to reduce the geometry to get it to work, but they'll get it to work. Too much of an upside to ignore.
KHIII was very expensive, and the PS4 isn't exactly doing gangbusters in Japan.
But this is the Nintendo first-party thread.

Even so, if Square Enix can't optimize KH3 for their target platform, I don't want to know how poorly optimized KH3 would be on Switch.
Didn't stop Dragon Quest 11. Yeah, it was a year late, but they didn't go 'maybe'. It was one of the first games announced for the Switch and they said it was coming no matter what, even when they ran into difficulties.
They could have just as easily said 'it will come to the Switch eventually', but we got the can PR talk of 'maybe'. That isn't even getting started on why we don't even get the Kingdom Hearts collection, especially when some of those games were DS and 3DS games.
Yes. Story is self-contained. It does tie into Xbc2, but nothing that would make it unenjoyable if you haven't played XBC2
I'm not Dark Cloud but allow me to answer this. I think when he means that he can't complain about the game not coming to switch is because the game is too heavy and even on PS4 and PS4 Pro it has some serious performance issues so it's possible that the game just cannot run on switch
They can always give it to a third-party for optimization for the Switch. That's basically what Beth is doing for DOOM Eternal. They're not doing the Switch version, Panic Button is. Or to be cheeky, maybe they should give it to the DQ 11 team since they seemed to be able to handled Unreal Engine better given the improvements between DQ11 in Japan to its international released. Heck, they all buy changed engines for make the Switch port happened since the older version of Unreal Engine didn't support it.
That said, I see Kingdom Hearts 3 being on the Switch as low, but not completely impossible. It really depends if Square sees if it's worth the effort to port.
To a point earlier, it sounds like the performance issues for Kingdom Hearts is more poor optimization and not the game being too taxing. Like it has the same issues as Final Fantasy 15, despite them being on two different engines. So sorta points to this being a Square issue.
If a game is good and you haven't played it yet, I really don't see a reason why it should bother you if it's from a past console generation. The only problem is that sales wise the game won't benefit from a marketing hype-machine, but if you are looking for a good game to play, the more the merrier.
I agree with you, I won't buy this old stuff either. Reading the latest insights on 2019 made far less optimistic for 2019 than I was from a 3rd party point of view. More of the same ain't a good news in my book. 2019 is looking increasingly more like another indie only year as far as I'm concerned.
Nobody is hurt by not playing FFXV.
Also, I would be really surprised if the next Tales entry doesn't come to Switch.
I wouldn't be surprised if a Kingdom Hearts game eventually arrives to the console.
Also, Ni No Kuni 2? No thanks.
Eh, no. If anything, XC2 is one of the better-paced JRPGs in recent years.

Don't get me wrong. I think FFXV is an awful game (I suffered through the whole thing just to see if it got better--it didn't); but to say that the switch has current gen jrpgs requires it actually have those current gen rpgs.
I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't come to switch, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. As of now, there's no information to indicate it will so again goes to lacking current gen jrpgs.
Well, I never said I wouldn't buy any old stuff since I have been going back and forward on Tales of Vesperia since it has been cited as one of the best Tales games, considering checking out Dragon Dogma, put in over 150 hours on Monster Hunter Generation (not really last generation, but you get my point), I have been playing the hell out of Diablo 3 lately, and DQ Builder was one of my favorite games last year (can barely wait for the second game). I just meant I prefer newer stuff (put in several hours on Warframe and DOOM 2016) or unique stuff. Or the best of all worlds where we get some last generation classic along with the new and unique.
What I don't like is the idea is that we should forget about getting current generation games and just be happy with old ports. Especially old ports that had Nintendo releases. Forget RE4, give me RE5 and 6 too if we're going to get old RE ports.
Makes sense. I guess the reason why I don't see things the way you do is that Capcom hasn't done this in a very long time. The most recent instance of Capcom having a notable exclusive for a Nintendo platform (that wasn't moneyhatted like MH or there due to tradition like AA) was... RE Revelations on 3DS? That's 7 years worth of barely getting any Capcom support on Nintendo platforms. If we're talking home consoles, Capcom's exclusive support aside from MH (moneyhat) ended with RE Darkside Chronicles in 2009.
To me, Capcom mostly checked out on Nintendo consoles and adopted a higher end multiplatform strategy after the early Wii days, so their current Switch output is nothing new. It just seems worse now that MH jumped ship.
All those tales games came out before Switch released. The one that did launch after Switch' release has come day and date. And they mentioned that going forward they want the franchise to appear on multiple platforms,so I expect them to continue releasing on Switch.
I haven't looked too into TOV but is it a remake made in the Berseria engine or is it an HD port of the PS3 version with some bonus content. Maybe I didn't use the correct terminology but when I stated current gen I did not mean HD/upscaled ports (which is what I believed TOV:DE to be).
The Switch has a million ports--I don't really see how Berseria/Zesteria coming out before the Switch does anything to negate the fact the Switch doesn't have them?
And that's great--but until they've been at least formally announced, I don't really count those as current gen JRPGS available on the Switch.
I'm not sharing information anymore. That was all discussion based on logical reasoning. It was never to say a January Direct was definitely coming. It was all simply showing that January Directs were near annual occurrences and that Nintendo's Q4 lacks releases.
And, yes, the odds of a January Direct now are at 0%. Nothing is going to come this month.
Yeah. How about that Town? Do you think they'll show it in next weeks Friday morning Direct live from the financial briefing QA?
Sure but you've got to consider that for a lot of people(especially on an enthusiast forum) that if people didn't play a game yet it's because they weren't all that interested.
The number of games someone has played before that they would be interested in playing again, and the number of games someone missed but would buy now are both going to be limited.
The LinkedIn profile page from some EA developer mentioning work on the Switch SDK was updated to remove all mentions of the Switch. Interesting. Is EA hiding something?
I don't think it was ever confirmed MH was funded by Nintendo), and based on what the series used to be before Worlds it made sense to be on Nintendo consoles only since the games were designed for the Japanese audience.
Beyond that you forgot Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D, and all the Ace Attorney games that used to be exclusive. That's dozens of new games in total.
I said the same thing about FF12 and now it's coming. Maybe the KH collection will eventually come too.
I mean, Reggie accidentally called it last E3, the FIFA Switch team also teased it (saying the plan was to get closer and closer to the other versions), we saw this coming.
But what does this mean? cause even with Frostbite support i think EA will bring a better FIFA, maybe Madden and some of their indie games, i don't think there's more beyond that but i'd like to be proven wrong.
No. It's Nintendos big game for E3. They're doing a full reveal and dressing up their E3 area like one big fucking town.
That's what I keep saying ...
but ya can't argue with the power of the masses.
Yeah, it's the sad part of not having a portable in the market that's cheap to develop for. That and the costs of HD development makes publishers focus on the big guns, and Nintendo systems end up being left behind.
I do wish companies like Capcom expanded their efforts as far as mid-range games go. Mega Man 11 was a good example of the kind of game I'd love to see from the company in general, exclusive or not.
Holy shit. The entire game takes place inside the Town that Nintendo builds inside E3.
Town is like the Meta we all found during the game.
No Direct in January, but how about February. Like February 1st. Friday Direct for maximum craziness.
Well since it's all speculations and definitely not based on informations that you don't share anymore, can you explain why you think nothing can happen next week?
It has a cycle of lapsing into port begging until something interesting happens
"We have delayed the game to next financial year so we don't split our profits for it over this year and next year and can say we had huge growth in the mobile space next year because of it. Please understand."
Yep, we can only talk about the same old 2019 first-party lineup for so long.
Focus for Nintendo next week will be on the investor briefing. The week after the briefing makes sense for a Direct because it gives them enough space between announcement and release to date things for April, while also detailing software for May & June. If they plan to hold a Direct during their Q4, it has to be February because you need at least 6 weeks between announcement/release for proper marketing of a retail release. Digital-only stuff can be shadow dropped (we saw it happen on Wii U/3DS eShop numerous times).
At least with Nintendo we get first-party JRPGs. It saddens me that Sony abandoned that genre completely.
