so yes

It's over (for Sony).

I'd imagine that japs dislike for key card is so strong, they'd rather just buy it digitally at this point

>>713152883
i think everyone hates it frankly.
Hard to tell if its by design or sheer retardation though.

>>713152883
Or not buy the game at all and wait to see if they release the games fully on the cart

>>713152528
>the fuck did capcom do
It's all about the optimization, that's really the most of it.
Personally Wilds is running fine for me at 60fps but I had upgraded to a 4080 super from an 1070 like a month before it released.

>>713153201
they STILL haven't fixed it? lmao.

>>713153201
Why do capcom keep doing Daihonei announcement(大本営発表) while Square is admitting failure?

>>713152883
>I'd imagine that japs dislike for key card is so strong, they'd rather just buy it digitally at this point
I just believe the gaijins (namely the obnoxious physicalfags but also anyone having an axe to grind against Nintendo regardless) are desperate to pin the key cards as 'anti-consumer' while inventing doomsday fantasies. Despite neither Playstation, Nintendo or Steam has ever prevented people to re-download their games even if the storefront was down or license shenanigans happened.
Right now, Mario Kart World sucks all the attention from other games, and the key cards released this launch are essentially old games for the most part.

>>713153201
Speaking of which, have the released more monsters?

>>713153431
Aside from that though, Key Cards were specifically something that was requested by third parties that "couldn't" (didn't want to) shoulder the "high costs" (pittance) of the new cartridges. Them failing means at least some will see the writing on the wall. Guardians of Azuma and Cyberpunk 2077 are the best selling third party physical titles in the west and in Japan for switch 2.

>Still going with same old stale pasta, gematsu reposts and "cute japs"

>>713153431
Why are Western right wings being anti Japan, and doing NO JAPAN campaign just like Koreans did? 4chan used to be Nettouyo, but where did nettouyos in West gone to? They are framing Japan as censor happy when Korea and China are actually censor happy as no Korean and Chinese game have no bikinis while Japanese games can.
Why do Westerners believe that Korea and China censors less than Japan when Korean and Chinese games cannot have bikinis while Japanese games can?
Korean zoomers would rather play Japanese games instead of censored Korean slops tho...(unless it is Ruliweb) did u forgot DJmax censorship with rashguard? And blue archive censorship in 2023?
(JP server first got swimsuit censored in 2023, and censored swimsuits have been applied to KR/Global later)

>>713154787
I JUST KILLED JAPANESE GAME WITH MAH' FUCKIN PRICE'N KEY CARD, WAHOO!

Nintendo switch 2 was actual Japanese game killer. Not Chinese, Korean or Western games.
Nintendo switch 2 has nailed the coffin on Japanese game by fucking price and key cards when they are in peril in 2025 due to having kusoges only like MH wilds, Yumia, Nightreign, while in 2024, Japanese game was so strong according to metascore. But no Jap game with metascore over 90s this year.
Nintendo was no match for wave of Chinese games.
En taro Xi Jinping!! My life for China!!

>>713155047
Kys.

>>713154292
No and I feel like they are doing it intentionally at this point.
Probably get an elder at the end of the base game's title update stuff then get a bunch of older elder stuff for the expansion.

>>713154862
its actually far worse than your image anon, because that only counts internal employees and every T2 subsidiary use a ton of outsourcers from india and china

>>713155319
Japanese gaming is mostly mobile gacha anyway. They only use online shooters as dating apps.

>>713155417

You're fucking retarded

>>713155294
Why is Capcom keep doing Daihonei announcement ignoring DD2 and Wilds being flop and call them "success", while Square admits failure easily?

>>713155492
I think Capcom recouped enough cost to make a clean profit from wilds, unlike Square whose failure was more readily apparent, so they're probably bracing for impact or prepping something.

>>713155417
Why are Japan's national/generational games like Apex, Valo, splatoon, pokemon and street shitter 6 not available in mobile tho? Hoyoslops are not considered national/generational game in Japan, and even Chinks consider DFO is more popular than hoyoslop.

>>713155242
for whatever reason the most recent "big" update made performance far worse even if you are not engaging with the new content, people that could barely run the game at passable framerates are now enjoying cinematic 20 fps or with constant dips as low as 5 fps

>>713155471
Apex Legends became super popular in Japan precisely because people use it for hooking up.

>>713155492

THE PS5 SELLS
It doesn't matter how many times people screech about "NO GAMES".
It doesn't matter if they keep tanking GaaS or make zero 1st party title.
It doesn't matter if they port how many games into PC.
It doesn't matter if Xcucks cope about getting to play PS games through paying a 3rd party storefront (Steam).
It doesn't matter if Tendies keep claiming their handheld can sell millions in Japan.

People WILL go out and buy a PS5. They're buying a PS5 now, and they will go out and buy a PS5 for GTA6 and more 3rd party hallmarks. Xbox putting their games into Playstation people will go out and buy PS5s for those games too.

You can't stop a household brand name built off of years of console dominance.

>>713155845
Choppy ue5 slop with a stuttering framerate even in the cherrypicked footage they provided?

>>713155739
They already announced their own battle simulator for mobile/switch.

That's pretty much main reason that everyone ever bother with it.

>people still think the Game Freak games that aren't pokemon are their "true potential"
it's literally their new dev training program.

Holy fuck what a spineless worm

>>713155971
>That's pretty much main reason that everyone ever bother with it.
Hello saar, remember that pokemon sells upwards of 20 million copies per generation and competitive pokemon is one of the largest officially sanctioned eSports. Champions will barely allow Pokemon go access, so this will only drive switch 2 sales.

>>713155845
LOL
LMAO even

>>713155682
Reminder that once the ps5 slipped woefully behind the ps4, they started comparing ps5 sell-in (shipments) to ps4 sell-through (actual sales) and the ps5 still ended up several million behind, despite xbox completely shitting itself and Sony absorbing a lot of its former share.

>>713155971
Is that like a new Pokemon Stadium?

>>713156074
It's pokemon showdown and pokemon battle revolution's child actually, and I assume it'll be the competitive platform going forward.

>>713156203
their new non-pokemon game will get forgotten after a week of launch just like all the other gorillion shit they waste pokemon money on to make

>>713152337
No way. They're rare for a reason, and now the Switch and Switch 2 will split SKUs like the PS4 and PS5 do. Hypothetically, the top 30 should be more balanced until the Switch is discontinued.

>>713156421

>>713156405
>Call of Duty and AssCreed
>Demon's Souls ignored
Japan needs a third nuke.

>>713156473
The new Game Freak game looks more like one of those big Chinese games like Wukong or Wuchang. My first instinct is to think they are outsourcing most of the development.

>>713156480
This is 3rd party sales, otherwise Mario kart would obviously be on switch 2

>>713156565
That's just because wukong looks like Wo Long which looks like Nioh. Even if it's outsourced, GameFreak is literally atrophied. Their creatives can barely handle 2 pokemon games per 3 years and all spin offs are handled by creatures, it's gonna be so shit.

>>713156480
Schizo

>>713156203
Fuck off with your fucking bullshit.
You're lower than a snakes belly you know

>snoy simping for gamefreak of all studios

>>713156952
>I should be able to abuse your server architecture for piracy and I shouldn't be punished for it
They do realize they don't own the server network right? And that account bans for hacking and piracy always worked like this?

>>713157223
they're using loaded language too, like calling it "being bricked" when it isn't, you just get banned online. they even pull a "muh keycard" when it doesn't work that way (you don't need to be online once it's loaded)

>>713156203
Anon this is not a hill you want to die on.

That's a fucking new low.

that fucker probably thought Tembo, that one gamefreak game that wasn't also on Switch, was a good game

>>713157343
There is literally no low to which this faggot will not stoop. Sony could close down their console business tomorrow and go full third party and he'd still be trying to spin it into an L for Nintendo somehow.

>>713157431
>Nintendo games are so bad switch 3 users would rather play Sony on their console!

>>713157343
Even the most fervent pokemon fan will say that gamefreak is only good on the creative direction side of things and absolutely sucks when it comes to technical development. Hell I LIKE scarlet and violet and I think those games are objectively some of the worst optimized trash ever made.

Yeah you'd have to be born yesterday to believe they aren't pirating, but they use the fact it's possible that they aren't as a shield lol. Really if you've decided to put a device in the Switch 2 that allows you to play pirated games then it's not wrong for Nintendo to have programmed the Switch 2 to ban you on those grounds.

If it was a genuine mistake then you send the device to Nintendo and they'll probably reinstate the account. If it isn't then you're just a thieving scumbag who was planning on pirating in the first place.

I know Nintendo and every other company ever has a ton of shitty stuff in their TOS but it's hard to ever take the backlash seriously when it's always against
>Hey guys, don't steal from us
>Don't cheat online
It feels so disingenuous
Even if you don't support the prices of things, just don't buy them? Or if you're gonna pirate fucking play it on your PC

>>713155845
>without nintendo gamefreak can make a generic UE5 asset flip rollslop
Wow!

>>713153863
>blue archive fags

>>713159728
Back in the day piracy was like
>hell yeah I'm taking your shit for free. Fuck you.
Now it's some form of "anticapitalist silent riot" or some shit like that. How the fuck do you make being a pirate gay and lame?

Will Death Stranding 2 help boost the PS5 sales in Japan?

>>713156203
I thought gamefreak was the worst dev ever and only propped up by pokemon, which is supposedly vastly inferior to palworld lol
...and now we're shiling for them?

>>713159042
it's from the panic sale getting rid of old stock and bundles being counted as physical sales

>>713159841
Also yeah, fuck the people who can't just admit they were doing and need some "moral rhetoric" to justify it
Just fucking admit it, who cares, we all fucking do it

>>713159841
>silent riot
>silent
what part of loudly screaming it at nintendo's face is "silent"?

>>713160146
Remember when snoys where trying to pretend the tranny was going to be cast as Zelda to hide the fact sony is spending billions to make a game starring him?

>>713159841
Everyone used to do piracy in silence and nothing really came from it that wasn't easily worked around. They ban shit like Pirate Bay in the UK but they are completely oblivious to proxies existing for example. Now they shout it from the heavens in a constant dare to see what happens and act offended when they are very much asking for it.

>>713160268
This and kotaku writing about how to pirate Dread are likely the reason for Nintendo giving journalists the middle finger

Nah. Will sell half of what the first game did at best

Nintendo has always been a target for journalists making shit up about them, that's why they made Directs in the first place so that they could control the flow of information and it worked like a fucking charm. Nowadays no one believes anything unless they see it in a direct.

Literally only ever seen meat fanatics have a melty over other eating plants.

>>713161863
There's probably a few reasons but the biggest one is that Nintendo doesn't pay them for reviews.

>>713155242
Initial marketing hype died out. Content goyators arent on a payroll anymore to brainwash zogcattle into a positive opinion, and whatever paid shilling and bought reviews/playercount they had stopped a couple months after release

Current player numbers (less than half of its 8 year old pre-prequel) and reviews (18% positive) are the real numbers without any jewish corpo bullshit fudging the numbers

Kill capcom

>>713161967
>>713161863
Racism
Sony and Nintendo both used to get 10x more flak than Xbox for every little problem they had, but since Sony moved it's headquarters to the US, it's fallen pretty squarely on Nintendo

>>713161767
its dogs that need your blowjob Eric not GF

>>713162235
Sony has never gotten any kind of shit from them, not even during the ps3 days.

>>713162334
Oh, I'm talking generally, idk about them specifically

>>713161863
The western game journalism and game development circles overlap. Hence why Sony moved the HQ to California. So there's incentive to shit talk Nintendo or post BS Clickbait because other than traffic they gain nothing from covering their games.

There's people like Jim Sterling who will shit on Japanese game DLC and call it nickel & diming. Then trip over themselves to be the narrative designer for the billionth Vampire Survivor's DLC.

>>713161863
Nintendo quite literally took their ball and went home when it came to dealing with press/game journos and basically ripped out one of their kidneys with the Direct format. Now a lot of companies straight up say "what do I need a middleman hyping me up for when I can do it myself for cheaper?" and that boils their piss.

>>713162787
>Nintendo sold the switch 2 at a huge loss in Japan to not punish their home country for worldwide economic issues and for the yen being in a historically weak spot
"Oh em gee why are they ripping off everyone except the japanese people???? Why do they hate everyone???" - shitty journalists

>>713161863
Game journos are a big pusher of "games as art" aka "remove all gameplay and turn them into bad films".
Which company do you think they will like more?

The fact that all it took for Gamefreak to make people think they are making a good game is to use UE5 to make their game look like every other UE5 game makes me weep for the state of gaming.

>>713166787
>and the biggest was... Bomberman R
*biggest third party game

>>713166213
>but I got you are no arguments
SAAR do not redeem the Unreal Engine 5 insult!

In hindsight, I got an impression that reason PsX and Ps2 sold well because it was highly accessible system, to both dev and customer, not unlike the DS, not because of it's powerful spec(which isn't actually the strongest in the amongst it's competitor).
It can be easily developed for, have cheaper and larger storage medium(at cost of loading time), and have less content restriction, which in turns expands the customer base for it's diverse game line-up. It's simply the best platform for the third party in it's generation.
How did Sony ended up concluding that it's their specs that's the selling point and end up making a PS3 which I heard was really hard to develops for?
Like, Sony essentially became it's own antithesis and became one of the more restrictive platform in the later generation, content and development-wise.

>>713155682
>THE PS5 SELLS
stopped reading there. it just stopped selling and flopped harder than the PS3 lmao

>>713156952
They literally all come from sony fanboy forums like neogaf. Hell the only reason why they're on Nintendo today is because that's where all the games are, Playstation ain't got shit but GTA 6.

>>713168249
>no arguments again

>debate me bro

>>713168375
Funny how the N64's and GameCube's loss convinced Nintendo of the opposite.

>>713156952
Their reaction to Yuzu and Ryujinx going down was pretty funny.

>>713168375
>end up making a PS3 which I heard was really hard to develops for?
The main reason for the PS3 shit architeture was to stop piracy since despite selling a lot, EVERY third party complained about how Sony couldn't stop PS2 piracy. The main reason it sold a lot in shitholes like Brazil was exactly because you could easily find pirated games being sold for like 50 cents.

>>713164943
>>713165716
Someone found a sony fanboy account with Eric literally in the handle who also flipped out whenever anyone brought up pedo George and went on a blocking spree. Only issue is that he verified that he actually owns a ps5, unlike the real Eric.

they got games i could never find anywhere else

>>713169824
reminds me when someone found the real bikini schizo xwitter account. wish I had saved the ss/handle just so we could go laugh at him again lol

>>713169332
Switch was the cheapest in its generation. Switch 2 is cheaper than whatever Sony and Microsoft will release for their next-gen. The new "next-gen" handheld console by Microsoft is almost x2 the price of Switch 2.

Aside from Eric himself calling everyone else Eric as a falseflag to muddy the water (something he's verifiably done due to leaving his trips on), one of the biggest causes of Eric overdiagnosis is the fact that people less in the know have trouble distinguishing Eric's unique idiosyncrasies from "snoys just act like that" moments.

there's rumors that the next Sony handheld will be around PS4 level and be 300-400 in terms of specs.
Sounds like they're trying again to compete with Nintendo, and I'm excited to see what they can do again

>>713170939
Excited for Duskbloods

>>713171872
co-op covent bros, are we back?

Korean devs fucking love the Switch 2 for some reason. Unexpected!

>>713171973
didn't the switch 1 do well in korea? i assume they are obsessed with tech over there and wants the newest, hard to find system.

>>713172126
Well yeah but this is 2 devs gifting switch 2 as bonuses. Kinda sus.

>>713171965
nightreign is actually really good, an A-team take on that will be awesome.

>>713172250
i wonder if nintendo had anything to do with it. instead of dinners or money, Nintendo just gave them switch 2 as bribes to port their games.

That's indeed literally what you need to get 60 REAL (so not fake AI shit) fps on that early PS3 looking trash, and Crapcom shills think this is okay.

Shouldn't need to. Make something that's actually worth upgrading for instead of because you couldn't be bothered to do your job properly and shipped out a literally broken product.

>>713173936
lol holy shit. and here i thought it was just losing 2 frames or something trival

>>713173984
I don't even like world, but at least it's a good looking game in terms of resolution at least. The artstyle is cohesive, even if it's 90% mud colored, and on pc at least, it runs fantastic. Wilds looks FAR closer to rise than world, with a worse art style, and doesn't have the courtesy of running as well as rise does.

>>713170939
>holo.jpg
Wow, it's a war down there.

>>713172458
I doubt it. It's more that they're seeing a lot of success around the same time a highly-desired item was released.

Of course he is...
>"blocker of dummies"
Kek that's pathetic, very tame compared witht the slurs he usually says here

>>713176654
Speaking of, our Eric was a bit less violently spergy on fj. He still had his all caps moments and it was back when he spammed "mentally I'll", but when someone would confront him a little too hard, he'd just block them. The violent outbursts here like threatening to murder 5 year olds like he has been recently seem to be some sort of self-soothing behavior because he can't stand not being in control.

>>713176994
Funnyjunk is pro-snoy so there was little reason for him to sperg out

The absolute sate.

>>713177337
they WANT gamefreak now? what timeline is this

>>713177337
I mean, Sony buying game freak would be the best thing to happen to pokemon. Not because Sony would get pokemon (they wouldn't) but because Nintendo could put more competent developers on the games

>>713177337

>>713177337
I know it would never happen but Sony somehow being able to buy gamefreak would the shitshow of the century

>>713151691 (OP)
I think it's time to place your bets. How many copies for Bananza fw? And how many Switches 2 will be in Japan by then?

>>713178270
I mean, even if they managed to get the absurd amount of money for it (it would likely end up being significantly more expensive than actiblizz), all they could really do with just GF's share of the ip is clog up the pipeline and keep pokemon from being made at all.

>>713178270
>little town hero
>brown tinted walk and talk simutator edition

>>713178389
FW would be 300k to low ball it, by that time, the switch 2 should have sold 2 million systems

>>713175339
They have to compete in the lottery on the same line as everyone else.

>>713178270
I'm not sure the exact terms obviously but from what I understand gf has exclusive rights to develop Pokemon games or sign off on another dev making a spinoff. Nintendo has exclusive rights to publishing the games and tpci controls everything else about the IP. So if for some odd reason Sony purchased gf, they would either give up Pokemon to some other dev or still make them exclusive to Nintendo, while Sony funds the development. Lol

>>713178651
That would be hilarious

>>713178651
>they would either give up Pokemon to some other dev or still make them exclusive to Nintendo, while Sony funds the development. Lol
Imagine.

Only a matter of time before the shitch poo loses all its exclusives......

>>713177403
It was never actually about the devs or whatever, it's that Pokemon is successful and Nintendo being successful is bad but if Playstation gets games then it's good and they take it away from Nintendo and that's good.
You saw the same thing around when Atlus was being sold off, there's an infamous screencap from neogaf about how Sony should buy Atlus so PS4 can get Fire Emblem because they got it in their head Atlus owned it because they were working on the SMT/FE crossover.
Same as how nobody fucking talks about Gran Turismo now that Forza is on PS5, because nobody has to care about Gran Turismo anymore because they can simultaneously give Xbox money while also being console warriors.

>>713178837
Nice AI video anon

>>713178837
Now it wont sell firs tparty titles as well as third parties. Hooo boy

>>713170939

It's insane than in its first 6 months it's gonna be the platform with the most exclusives.

>>713178759

>>713177512
Very typical.

>>713179195

>>713179197
Remember when they were saying the Switch 2 emulator was already booting up? LMAO

>>713156952
Funny how they never complain about all the shit that Sony does.

>>713179068
You just know he was banking on that "3rd Parties don't sell on Switch 2!!!!" thing and wasn't expecting it to get debunked so fast.

>>713178837
Didn't hurt the Switch sales at all.
I remember pretty well that that I was one of the first anons that got the proper ToTK torrent (there were like 2-3 incomplete fake ones before) it topped at around 30k leechs on leak day.
Piracy is way smaller than you think.

>>713156952
Same shit happened when Microsoft banned all those 360s that were pirating back in 2006, this is a never ending cycle.

>>713177337
Do these retards know Nintendo own the trademark for Pokemon? Even if Gamefreak was bought out it wouldn't be a big deal for Nintendo since they would still control Pokemon and Gamefreak without Pokemon is nothing.

>>713179263
I think it's nowhere close to 1 million. Iirc it didn't even chart in famitsu when it came out which is disastrous. Never charted on NPD either, never heard any journalists or influencers etc mention in since the launch. Also it got bad reviews

>>713156961

The worst part is there is literally nothing to play, all snoy games are on PC, maybe astro bot?

>>713179469
I always wanted Gamefreak to fuck off and let Nintendo give the game to someone else, they are just too stupid when it comes to developing games for them. I can't think of anyone worse than Gamefreak honestly.

>>713179045
>Man the whole Pokemon ownership is really fucking weird
Nintendo lacked faith in the project while GF lacked resources, then based Tajiri ensured infinite wealth for himself and his peers at Creatures.
DQ got the same deal btw.

>>713178545
SMB Wonder opened at 600k. Odyssey opened at 500k. DK's two Switch ports opened around the 100k mark.
Considering it's being released in peak summer drought and in lieu of any other major releases it'll probably tilt closer to Mario.
Switch 2 I'm gonna guess 180k-190k? Right now the limit is just how fast Nintendo can shit them out, especially for Japan.

>>713179573
DQ is the same? Square doesn't own it?

>>713179528
>maybe astro bot?
Astro is just a Mario but with dead Sony characters running around. The new DK is coming out next month anyway.

>>713179573
Nintendo lacked faith? They specifically gave game freak all the funding they needed in exchange for a chunk of the ip specifically BECAUSE they saw its potential.

>>713179632
SE owns only publishing and distribution .
Hori owns the IP, Sugiyama estate owns the music until hell freezes over and Toriyama's estate has to be offered the art direction first.

>>713179605
>Odyssey opened at 500k
no wonder ,they went all out with the marketing for that one. DKB doesn't seem to have the same roll out of ads

are we getting young Pauline in Mario Kart?

>>713179523
That's because it's Pokemon, not because Gamefreak made it. Nobody gives a shit about Tembo or Little Town Hero but over 15 million people still bought BDSP even though Gamefreak were not involved.

>>713179781
The development was too long, the code was a mess and at some point they were asked for help and refused to do so.

>>713179528
>>713179640
It was funny watching the ponies doing a 180° turn on Astro Bot after decades of saying platformers and mascots were a thing from the past but winning GOTY really surprised me
They always surprise me because at the back of my head I keep thinking "nah they can't be that obvious" but then they are

>>713179528
GTA 6 once it comes out :^)

>>713180521
>winning GOTY really surprised me
Allegedly Sony already bought the award for Concord but when that crashed and burnt they shifted resources to shill Astro.
Something similar happened to all the Concord marketing, only the Amazon episode remained because it was already produced.

>>713180758
That's actually hilarious.

Yeah DKB's rollout feels super tame compared to Odyssey's orchestrated media blitz. Remember when they had Mario popping up on talk shows and the balloon cross-promo in Macy's parade? With DKB it’s like Nintendo just quietly tossed the trailer and dipped. Kinda weird too since DK is still a top-tier IP and they’re releasing in the dead zone of summer—easy win if they just tried a bit harder.

>>713181036
They said it was the new fucking Star Wars, they had all this merchandise and media prepared for it, they wanted it to be their biggest franchise ever, thinking Sony would be happy with anything but GOTY is delusional.

>>713181007
No one is going to come out and say:
>"Yes, Sony buys awards"
So we only have the marketing shifts that are out in public.
Or leaks, but those are somewhat rare.

>>713181175
That was debunked actually.

>>713180863
Journos will defend it to this day saying it was a good game just came at the wrong time. I literally just heard kinda funny saying this like 2 days ago

It was PALPABLE the moment concord was announced to be going offline and the money left in that account was transferred to the astrobot marketing account.

I don't think they're gonna do this for Donkey Kong's Launch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69ZmfKeqh0o

>>713181362
Gameplay is mediocre but not boring, the art direction+story combo is what killed it.
Other mediocre games survive just fine, Concord did have some unfortunate timing, if it came out on the mid 2010s it might still be alive today.

The fucker barely handles switch 1 emulation. Every video I see on twitter is it running the title screen of some switch game with notable stuttering and choppy framerate.

>>713187014
with the horrible performance of the Switch 1 version, Legend ZA seems like it was supposed to be a Switch 2 game

>>713187087
Mario's first game was Donkey Kong albeit.

That is what snoys would want. They don't want to play games, they just want people to stop playing them on other platforms.

>And how many Switches 2 will be in Japan by then?
nintendo is hard locked to 150k a week or so, that seems to be their maximum possible production for japan right now and they still haven't met the initial 2.2m preorder demand
so going by simple math, 1250000 switch 2s by then

>>713187743
>They can buy game freak
nope Sony is broke

>>713187939
>no way sony is paying $70 billion just for that
Mostly because they don't have the money.

How we feeling about Gear 4 DK? I think he's awesome.

>>713188218
weird that there's rumor of Sony buying WB including all its games and movie studios

>>713188140
2.2 million was preorders ONLY at the Nintendo store, which incidentally aren't counted by famitsu for sales. We'll get an idea of what percentage of sales the Nintendo store makes at the next quarterly report.

It's funny to think the Switch 2 could make it to 3 million in Japan alone by November

>>713187159
Even now they basically have to cope with
>b-but its just a base PS4 in 2025
When its barely below a series S, and likely can surpass it in performance with proper techniques, a console still currently recieving support with modern games

>>713188419
i think there's gonna be more than 3 transformation
i think there's 5, and one of them is a merlin or dolphin

Kinda sad Bravely Default is already out of the chart. I wonder if it's because no actual physical release (KC/Digital only), no marketing or just general fatigue with Square in general. It's honestly a shame because it's a great game and from what I can tell it's even the og uncensored version (even for the west) and not the censored western version.

>>713189405
It's really a digital first game.

>>713189405

That's weirdly enough what the chink name for shart rail translates to literally speaking:
>崩坏星穹铁道
>崩坏: collapse/breakdown/insurrection
>星: star
>穹: sky/atmosphere
>铁道: train tracks
Now take into consideration "the tracks at the end of the sky" is an euphemism similar to how here we use "the end of the line" and you can se how easily can MTL get tricked into that.
Yes, it's not translated properly as "collapsing star" is the "honkai" part of the title which has been an MTL issue since H3, I'm just explaining the mistake.

>>713189486
Proof?

>>713187094
>Hackers PLEASE hack this shit immediately!
I don't think they realize this will just cause another spike in switch 2 sales, especially if it's a softmod as people (mostly scalpers) will scramble to buy them before nintendo rushes to patch the vulnerability on newer shipped units.

>>713188489
>2.2 million was preorders ONLY at the Nintendo store
oh shit i forgot about that
the actual demand may legitimately be close to 3m if not 3.5m

Why does Nintendo make trannies so angry?

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are doing fantastic with the Switch 2 update so pretty good chances.

>>713189163

>>713153431
No, Key Cards are genuinely pointless, and the worst of all worlds, with the "advantage" of being able to be resold, which doesn't matter to most people who specifically want physical games because they want their physical games to KEEP THEM.

You still have to use system memory or SD card space to store the game, you still have to download the game, and you also have to have a cartridge in your cartridge slot to play it. Buying it digitally removes that last downside (which is definitely the biggest one) and if the game was actually on the cartridge it'd remove the first two (barring updates). Key cards just suck and everyone hates them.

>>713190282
they dont speak troonish

>>713190357
you like all other westoids are missing the elephant in the room
key cards don't compete with physical media, they exist to screw over niggers trying to just ship codes in an empty box
and for that it has worked wonderfully well because not only people are seething at third parties using key cards here and in japan, they also were on SE's throats (heh, mentally i'll) when they actually had the jewish balls to ship a code in an empty box when an alternative exists

>>713189486
So it is, I could've sworn Spell Fencer clothing wasn't sheer in the og western 3DS release while it is in the HD remake so I figured they actually undid the dumb shit from then but after looking things up, seems not. Is Vampire also still censored? I'm only seeing stuff on the Bravo Bikini and Ringabels War Garb.

>>713190349
My guess is a swimming transformation (perhaps a crocodilian of some sort?...) and a mole/other burrowing animal

>>713190282
traditional family values

>>713190636

>>713190887
well, good thing you don't care and never will.

>>713191067
I do care, retard. I haven't bought any key cards, and never will, and I haven't bought any code in a boxes and I never will. If that means the only Switch 2 games I'm buying are Nintendo published ones, then so be it.

>>713151834
how? its so bad AND ugly

Plenty of third parties are using full carts anon.

Kek alright, I consneed. I still wonder who the fuck will buy the game. (No one)

>>713187365
The PS5 would be doing pretty bad right now if cross-gen releases didn't push console sales.
Obviously Z/A won't be as big as gen 10, but it'll still be a pretty big deal.

I don't think it'd be wise to release 3D Mario this year when Nintendo already has such a stacked schedule this year.
Mario Kart, Pokémon, DK Bananza + the others will do the trick for the rest of the year.

>>713192247
3D Marior is definitely next year. Apparently Bananza's team isn't 100% EPD8 but a spun off junior team that was being trained while they worked on Odyssey.

>>713192247
>Mario Kart, Pokémon, DK Bananza + the others will do the trick for the rest of the year.
dont forget Inazuma11 and DQ1+2

>still no Big Maring
Next gen for sure, right guys?

>>713157808
This is how I feel too, but I only feel that way about modern Game Freak. I hate when people started retroactively shitting on their older games, especially ones that were praised as masterpieces just a few short years ago.

>>713186241
It's still funny how many people here thought Mario Kart would work on current Switch emulators

>>713166289
>How did the down time prove any of that?
NTA, but after 4chan was back online, there was a brief couple of days or so where the shills, bots and Internet brigades still hadn't fully returned and pretty much all boards were actually usable again. It was the weirdest Internet experience of my life. /pol/ and /v/ weren't complete shit. There were funny, relaxed conversations.

>>713177508
Nintendo would give it to ILCA and reap the money regardless.

>>713192837
You would think it would only apply to emulators but then you got people buying it in store then returning it complaining that it doesn't work for their switch 1.

>>713190282
A lot of them are commies who think games should be free

>>713161441
Funny image, but unironically please do install Linux.

>>713192931

They'd develop it in house and make it an actual good game.

>>713179781

>>713192641

>>713193174

>>713192359
This always made sense, Nintendo was never gonna trade 3D Mario for DK.
Tho it does make me wonder what direction Mario will take since Bananza is so similar to Odyssey already.

3D World 2 never ever

>>713192931
>ILCA
they are snoys that only suck Harada microdicks

>>713192837
Forget the emulator remember when Mario Kart World was first revealed in the Switch 2 reveal trailer and people swore up and down that Nintendo would still release on Switch 1 because there's no way they'd say no to 150 million Switch owners.
Switch 2 is relatively easy to buy, stores are constantly restocking, and people still being bitter manchildren about it.

>>713193603

I would expect that to go something like the Disney Star Wars movies. Starts off with massive sales as expected, plenty of people saying they're so glad the old creators on working on it. Then the cracks become more noticeable and they manage to kill the golden goose.

>>713194329

They did it well before Nintendo did anon.

That won't affect me at all either.

I don't see how that really refutes the narrative.

Keep playing dumb

>"THIRD PARTY GAMES ON SWITCH 2 ARE SELLING WORSE THAN ON SWITCH 1"
Only actual snoy trolls and niggers were saying this. The reporting was saying that the third party sales were surprisingly low and one publisher had overestimated how much their product would sell.

The average person is genuinely, mind bogglingly stupid
It's not even a "they literally don't know" stupid, it's the even worse "confidently incorrect" stupid that social media likes to praise for some reason

>>713198151
Japanese people are the funniest people on the planet when they use insults or sarcasm, especially with auto translation jank added on top of it

You ain't wrong. This shit breaks me.

Switch 2 has those too, retard-kun.

Why are you lying? A whole two fucking games is plenty to you?

Maybe SEGA will do something about it?

>>713200834

You're a concern troll

>>713201034
how?

>>713201101
And now you're sealioning

>>713201145
I don't speak in reddit so no clue what that means. So are you gonna provide a single counterpoint or are you gonna concede that you lied about plenty of third parties making non key card version on Switch 2?

>>713153431
Yup. It would be another thing if there were high profile new games, but the best new game 3rd parties could muster for the launch of the successor to the biggest console in history of Japan is fucking Rune Factory.
On the opposite side you have a brand new Mario Kart World (on top of being a high profile Nintendo game). Not to mention, Switch 2 is still a very expensive purchase even with the Japanese only model. It costs the same as PS5 did in 2020. MKW bundle is the most economical option and not many people buy more than one game at launch

>>713201286
Why would I debate a troll?

>>713190636
How do you explain FF Tactics being on card on Switch 1 then? Obviously they are willing to do it.

>>713201425
Then I accept your concession, you lying nigger. Don't worry, I'll post that image again the next time you blatantly lie, then you'll get to cry all over again because you have no counter point.

>>713195393
>Probably trying to hack/pirate games and getting the consoles bricked
why do these niggers never wait for proper jailbreaks?

FYI disgaea 7 complete is in cart in japan iirc, it also will have a switch 1 version

>FYI disgaea 7 complete is in cart in japan iirc
Its not.
>it also will have a switch 1 version
>will
The Switch 1 version's been out for a year now and is in Japanese only, so useless for everyone here.

>>713202123
>so useless for everyone here.
Sounds like a skill issue, only goycattle buy stuff without importing them from JP retailers directly or from the JP eshop.
