Gameplay video of the Switch version
Nice. Here's hoping IV can be a simultaneous launch in the west.
It's not recommended, but it's technically possible. The story won't really have as much of an impact, though.

2/3? More like 7/8 if they don't play on other platforms lol
(or play fan translations for that matter since 2 of the Trails games have never been localized)
pretty sure Xseed still has publishing rights for those two, so NISA can't bring them to Switch
Not sure what's the point of this if you're not bringing 1 and 2 beforehand... not sure what NISA are thinking there.
Ah yes, i forgot that basically all of those Trails of whatever games have an connected story. Doesn't really help the Switch port at all though. ^^
probably because XSeed has the rights to those and not NISA which has the rights to Cold Steel III
XSeed be a pal. You already got that sweet Story of Seasons gig.
Hmmm. I guess XSeed doesn't have the capital for Switch porting.
Very nice. Hopefully 1 & 2 come over as well so people can play with some context. This means I'm gonna have to actually start putting in some work on in Trails in the Sky trilogy since I've only played Cold Steel 1 & 2 so far.
Presumably because the publishing deal for all those was with Xseed and not NISA. The fact it's not coming to Japan until later probably means it was them and not Falcom themselves that pushed for this
I bet XSEED will port the first two. It is odd to do 3 before those. Codeglue did the the Corpse Party: Blood Drive port for XSEED and actually did a Phyre Engine port on Switch (they basically changed the engine to their own), so they're perfect for it.
I'll be in, vastly prefer this on a handheld to console. Even if it means that I can't transfer my game from Vita to Switch.
Unbelievable. I held on from buying this game because I had a feeling a Switch version was possible. Now please put the first two games on the system.
If Falcom ported I and II to the Switch then I'm sure that XSEED would be more than happy to release those versions. But it seems a lot to ask them to port the games themselves when they've already been screwed over on publishing future games in the series.
Honestly even before the first two cold steel games I'd highly, highly recommend playing the sky games first. And then playing the crossbell games before Cold Steel 3 as well. But it's probably not impossible to enjoy the game's story if you're jumping in fresh since it does reference important past events a lot, but you'll definitely miss out on a lot of the impact
Dayone. And i have already cs3 on my ps4 pro but this change everything. I will be able to play It everywhere and everyday during lunch free time at work.
Now i hope It will find new fans because kiseki deserves more fans.
Also to some posters in this thread i should recall that some switch owners, like me, are portable players and played older titles on psp and vita.
Hopefully this will bring a cs4 dayone ps4/switch release.

If i can wait and don't play the Chinese version of CS4 till now i can wait for CS4 on switch lol. RPGs are meant to be played on a portable.
My collection of physical trails games are all over the place (in multiple languages too) though hahaha.

I more mean collab with NISA for a western switch release.
Does Falcom ever handle the ports to new platforms themselves? I feel like it's always been handled by other companies.
Porting Cold Steel 1 and 2 would be up to XSEED, I assume.
And don't forget people like me who played the first two games on Vita and would prefer to continue the game on a handheld system rather than playing it on PS4. It's one of the reasons I didn't pick up CS3 yet.
Whispers of those successfully doing so have been uttered on occasion, but they could be the mere prattle of witless men that have lost all sense of purpose and rationale.
(I have only played a chunk of the first game personally, but according to the OT, its not recommended to play this without 1+2 first)
User banned (1 day): Hostility and platform warring + previously warned for both of those things
Do you ever post anything that isn't either concern trolling or blatant console warring in a Nintendo related thread?
Falcom isn't doing the ports themselves. I mean, I'm sure Falcom wanted it ported and it probably played into why they switched to NISA in the first place, but don't expect Falcom to develop a switch game themselves anytime soon
releasing this without the context of like, seven other games seems like a pretty terrible move to me
