Nintendo Switch Main Thread

[dyne]

This can't come soon enough. I want to hear more about Mario and (hopefully) a kickass Virtual Console.

[Mavrick]

I wonder if Platinum games will show up? Bayoneta 3 maybe? What about a new metroid? Not expecting a huge blowout. They need to save something for E3.

I want to see pokemon but I have a feeling that will be kept for E3 or later.

[dyne]

Yeah I'm wondering if they'll just cover launch games, pricing and other technical details or if they'll also have a sizzle real for after the launch window.

Unless Nintendo is basically paying the full cost of production I don't see why Bayonetta 3 would be made for the Switch. Bayonetta 2 was a great game but not many people bought it for the Wii U, like most third party games on Nintendo home consoles.

Bayonetta 2 was meh

That would be something if FF7 Remake was announced like some are predicting.

Having Square back in the fold on a portable Nintendo system might be a big system mover in Japan. However reports the last couple of days are that we won't even see episode 1 this year.

I thought Sony was partially finding the final fantasy 7 remake

According to this article it's not an outright exclusive.

Another big E3 reveal for you was the HD Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which was a huge crowd pleaser. How long does the timed exclusivity deal last?

We don't have anything to say about that at this point in time.

I understand. I remember when Microsoft announced the Rise of the Tomb Raider exclusivity deal, and Phil Spencer was engulfed by the press who were asking him how long the exclusivity lasted. I feel this issue deserves the same scrutiny.

Yes, but that whole thing was very ambiguous.

Yes, but this is ambiguous as well. No one knows how long Final Fantasy 7 is a timed exclusive for.

[PR spokesperson: "At this stage, we are announcing that it's coming to our platform. There's nothing else we can say, in terms of exclusivity."]

But that is ambiguous. People who want to buy this game don't know how long it will remain as a PlayStation 4 exclusive.

[PR spokesperson: "At this stage, we are just saying announcing the title, so it's very common, especially at this stage, to say it's coming and that it's coming to our platform.]

Ryan: What we're not doing is saying it's an outright exclusive, which I think is a subtle difference [compared] to what happened last year.

It was my understanding that it was PS4/PC exclusive.

It's possibly timed. Square would be dumb to stick this only on 2 systems. They will need all the sales they can get and they can do that by eventually releasing on all platforms. Although it would be better for them to release on them all at once.

Also, lol at PC. They said 15 would appear there as well and that's so far off their radar it's not even funny.

Hey I played the original FF7 on PC back in the day. Why not?

[ShellOilJunior]

FF7 remake is listed for XONE. Although that could change.

[RaijinUT]

FF7 remake is a comes 1st to the PS4, everything else (PC and xbox1) after. Sony even says this themselves at the original trailer on their E3 show in 2015. Something like "coming first to PS4" right after they 1st showed the trailer.

Unsure the how long of exclusive it is for the PS4, but FF7 remake coming to everything else in time.

Would be nice if the Switch gets FF7 too. That and Kingdom Hearts III.

What's so great about Final Fantasy?

I played it once* and thought it was crap.


*and by "once" I mean I played one of the games, completed it, never bothered with it again. NOT that I only played a few minutes one time.

I tried a few but never liked them. I gave XV a chance and loved it. Almost gave up on it but glad I didn't.

Square made it hard to play when they decided to make the games PS exclusive, so when the Wii finally got a game I played it just to see what all the hype was about. And it sucked. I wasted $15 on that garbage.
