Really wanted the Neo. Jervis Smyths have 15+ grey ones. Should I wait? Gah! Decisions.

You could get a grey now, and get some fancy multi coloured joy cons later on.

Ah to be fair, everywhere who reported the Capcom thing got caught by the early translation. Rule of thumb with foreign interviews, wait 24 hours :P

I really didn't see it doing as well as it is, it's great news. Mario at Christmas should be a huge seller, they really need to advertise it like crazy around then and make sure there's plenty of stock in stores. If they fu*k it up I'd be amazed.

Argos strikes again €63 must be their trigger figure for Switch games first Mario Kart 8 deluxe now Disgaea 5.

You do get a €5 voucher but that's beside the point, too high a price.

Got my copy of Disgaea 5 for 33 pound cant go wrong so about 40 euros ?.

I wonder when i might get it as the last switch game i got from amazon got lost !!!! and they ended up having to send me another copy of maro kart !!!.

Hope this one does not get lost ha

Monster Hunter XX is coming to the Switch.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/monsterhunter/XX-Switch/

That franchise is a license to print money. Expect it to sell Switch's by the mountain load, especially in Japan.

Thats what I came in to post.

So yeah, as soon as,that bad boy hits the switch, I am all over it. Even if its the only game I get switch for. I have a bit of a addiction history with monster hunter games.

CiDeRmAn

Could this be the first Monster Hunter game I actually play after buying?

No...


Probably not...


It'll be bought and, sadly, join the pile

That Monster Hunter news is just brilliant, there are hundreds of thousands of people who will buy a Switch purely to play that game alone. It's almost a cult in Japan.

Wasn't ever expecting a full-on version of FIFA this year, EA are always pulling this crap. Maybe FIFA 19 will arrive if hardware sales hold up. I'll still buy this year's version even assuming it's not FIFA 18, I'll admit to buying FIFA 64 back in the day, maybe the worst football game I ever witnessed

EA - Here's a terrible years old FIFA port.
Ubisoft - Here's a just dance game and a rayman legends port.
Capcom - Hey here's a street fighter port. Pay us 45 quid for it.

'Wait our ports of old tat didn't sell well? Guess switch owners don't want 3rd party games.'

geotrig

Good , we dont need a yearly update of a game that doesnt change much ...so other games have made more improvements with patches .. but i actually think fifa would be a great fit on the switch !

FYP!

Hopefully the Fifa game won't be merely a port of an older version, and be something they've put some effort into. But doubt it.

Except it's missing two buttons in mini-con mode, which is always a design choice that seemed strange choice. A six a side street style game might have been a good idea.

They're all at it though with ports. Nintendo themselves with Zelda and Mario Kart. WB with Lego City Undercover. Minecraft, World of Goo, Disgaea 5, Shovel Knight, I Am Setsuna, Binding of Isaac, Skylanders and more besides with more on the way. Even this Monster Hunter game is a port. The only 2 games Capcom put on the Wii U were 3DS ports.

swings and roundabouts .

I thought you meant the same old merry-go-round. They'll put this out to die, claim 3rd party games don't sell on Nintendo, then move on.

Creamy Goodness

nope I meant round and round we go with the same ports story. I used a ferris wheel to depict this, you used a merry-go-round, which is swings and roundabouts

Monster Hunter may be great to boost sales of the Switch. If only there were Switches available to take advantage of the boost

sligeach

Nintendo's share price increased by over 5% due to the Monster Hunter XX announcement. The timing was very deliberate. The markets are now closed for the week. Capcom's share price went up too but not as much.
