After a slight E3 showcase, investors and analysts are concerned over Switch sales. But are they right?
Cole Young almost made the jump from movie newcomer to game canon in Mortal Kombat 1, but a last-minute time crunch shut it down.
A rare first-party Nintendo games sale has just gone live on Amazon with around a dozen of the company's titles discounted.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
“Another concern centres on the Switch's recent performance. After dominating 2017 with numerous blockbusters, this year has been quieter for Nintendo.”
A large reason Switch’s first year library was so seemingly packed was because Nintendo prematurely axed Wii U’s lifecycle, moving various titles from it to Switch. The first half of its second year was largely bolstered by ports with only Kirby Star Allies & Mario Tennis Aces being the only notable original titles.
“But there's no need to do anything yet”
Indeed. Even without a lot of major releases in the first half of the year Switch has still performed admirably and 3DS is still hanging in there.
VGC estimates that each major platform so has sold this well during the first five months of 2018
PS4 sold 5,863,216 units
NS sold 4,261,030 units
XO sold 1,937,158 units
3DS sold 1,299,329 units
PSV sold 126,675 units
There was a lack of first party, nevermind third party games, at E3.
I was hoping for a proper Starfox, Pilotwings too. So yea a little disappointed. A Conker game would be nice on the Switch, or maybe Playtonic can make a similar game for the adults.
Nope. A lot can happen between now and the holiday season. Besides, we no doubt have plenty of Directs and other announcements to get to yet.
Smash Bros. Ultimate looks like it's going to be awesome though. I am not even a huge Smash fan and I'm really excited for it. It should be massive this holiday.
I know I’ve been disappointed lately. Smash bros doesn’t excite me and I was hoping for a new Zelda spin off or virtual console. I haven’t touched it since Mario Odyssey and I would love to have more 3rd party games. If the drought continues into 2019 like it did this year then I’ll be selling my switch.
