Guy Goodbody posted:They aren't porting a 3DS game to the PS4 One assumes it would be a game with a pass up to modern graphics, finally. The game hasn't really had a visual update since the Wii, in terms of like models and textures. In a similar vein, if they announce in January that there will be a Switch version of Monster Hunter XX, it's not gonna fully tilt me into a pre-order. I don't want to play an up-rezzed 3DS game on my TV.

Rexroom posted:Huh, there are rumors that suggest the next Monster Hunter isn't coming to the Switch. Allegedly Sony paid a zillion yen to Capcom for PS4 exclusivity because - unlike in the rest of the world - there hasn't been a killer app for the Japanese market. And Monster Hunter would fit that bill. The rumor also says the contract specifically excludes Nintendo's Switch, so the new Monster Hunter could be ported to the XBone and PC if need be. This fits with interviews about Capcom wanting to capture the western audiences, so they're thinking of adapting the series to our tastes. Did these rumors come from 4chan because lmao They've already captured a western audience. Monster Hunter isn't just a niche series anymore. It's consistently one of the best selling games on the 3DS at launch, the fanbase is growing, and has been growing since the PSP days. At one point, Freedom Unite was one of the best selling PSP titles on the Vita's US store for several month straight, I think around the time it was confirmed that Portable 3rd was definitely never coming over and that the 3DS got exclusivity to the series. And as far as 'adapting the series to our tastes' is concerned, that's pretty much been everything about MH since Tri. There's been an increased focus on a narrative of some sort, the start of each game has been progressively easier to manage and has been carefully gated to get people into the swing of hunting progressively larger/more aggressive monsters. If nothing else, 4 and Generations are the best games for a new player to jump into because they have lots of content without trying to relentlessly bitchslap the player for making newbie mistakes like the older games could and often did. Then there's the series overall success story. MonHun got big on portables. Going to a console, even one like the PS4, is taking away one of its biggest advantages. As much as I personally would like a main series title on PS4, I can't imagine Sony paying enough to offset Capcom's inherent penalty for not getting in on any sweet sweet SwitchBux with a new MH. I mean what, are they gonna also make a companion title for the VITA too, a system that is effectively dead in the West, to "capture" more of that Western market that does not care about the Vita?

A lot of people ask why the gently caress would they play a basketball game next to a real court? And the answer is right in the video. They are good boys and it was someone else's turn. You can see another game happening in the background.

So I guess the current set of rumors is some price points of bundles inluding one that starts at $260??? Release date march 17th or around then, and Smash, Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon released at launch as special "director's cut" editions? And I guess Nintendo is working with retailers to set up a thing where you can trade in your WiiU copy of the game for a free upgrade to the Switch version or at at discount. Also info on the Mario Links to the things https://pvplive.net/c/rumor-nintendo-switch-launch-date-and-bundles-reve https://pvplive.net/c/new-nintendo-switch-features-and-launch-lineup-tea

The "Sony buying (partial) exclusivity" bit is still pretty much a unsubstantiated rumor, but Capcom wanting the PS4 crowd isn't that farfetched. Consoles still triumph over handhelds in the west, so it makes somewhat sense they're thinking of expanding to that market.

Naw, it's pretty farfetched when that article says they want to expand sales in territories outside of Japan. Even though the west is mentioned specifically they are not going to give up Korea, East Asia and potentially China just to maybe get more sales from the PS4 crowd. Especially not when doing so would tank sales within Japan versus just releasing on Switch, keeping Nintendo's support with distribution, keeping portable sales in Japan and maybe gaining sales from the no portable crowd in the west.

The launch was a drat disaster, but also unlike every other fighting game I've played on the PC it's actually playable online. I have no idea what its actual numbers look like, I just know that it's still centerpiecing fighting game tournaments. I'm too much of a scrub to be sure if it's because it's good or because of a sense of obligation from event planners.

Cartoon Man posted:Konami too. I'd say the difference is that Konami is actively divesting from console development and pivoting towards mobile/gambling. On the other hand, Capcom is trying to become a significant player in the AAA console space but repeatedly underestimating what consumers expect out of a modern $60 AAA product. The Monster Hunter series is actually made up of different subgenres made to appeal to different demographics, such as Monster Hunter Stories for younger children. It would actually be smart of Capcom to have a spinoff aimed at the overseas market that targets players interested in open world action RPGs while hedging their bets with a traditional entry aimed for handheld systems. However, this is Capcom we're talking about. I can just as easily see them trying to make Monster Hunter 5 into a Skyrim clone that doesn't measure up to the competition and alienates the core fanbase. Decus posted:Didn't Pokken Tournament on WiiU outsell it? In North America, Pokken Tournament for the Wii U sold more in retail than Street Fighter 5 for the PS4 in retail. Mortal Kombat X has sold over 5 million to Street Fighter 5's 1.4 million sales across all platforms. Street Fighter 5 had a sales target of 2 million. On Steam alone, MKX has outsold SFV three to one. Also on Steam, The King Of Fighters XIII has outsold Street Fighter V two to one.

Also info on the Mario Note that the rumors here are the launch date as reported by Laura Kate Dale, followed by a bunch of stuff nobody has said anywhere else and very much sounds like talking out of their asses. jivjov posted:You mean the virtual console games that you get a substantial discount on if you owned it on Wii and wanted to upgrade to Wii U? Yeah, but that's just virtual console stuff that's five to ten dollars while these would be full sized sixty dollar games, I doubt they'd give a heavy discount to us Wii U users.

Supercar Gautier posted:This is exactly the kind of excellent deal I absolutely do not expect and do not believe in, when it's coming from the company that double-dips constantly on VC games. It's the sort of deal I could see from a company that wants to post huge numbers on day one though. Pre-Owned Nintendo games already have high values and a lot of people are going to make this trade anyway. If they offer a launch window deal where they reimburse retailers $10-15 per new game sold when a copy of the Wii U version is traded in during the same transaction I could see retailers picking up more release Switch games than they normally would. Remember Smash 4 still trades in at GameStop for $25, it wouldn't take much to offer a new Switch copy for $20-$30 at launch. If you want some real  conspiracy theory about it maybe this is why we didn't see Smash 4, Splatoon, or Mario Kart 8 become Nintendo Selects. Releasing them at $20 would drop the pre-owned price from ~$55 to probably ~$18 and the amount of credit you got for them down to probably $5-$9.The important thing to remember about these deals is that it doesn't really mean Nintendo would be spending money, just making a little less. They wouldn't be selling games to retailers cheaper, they just credit their accounts some when consumers actually take advantage of the deal. They also potentially receive a huge amount of low cost advertisement as these types of deals usually require the retailer provides proof of how they advertised the offer. These types of offers to retailers are fairly common.
