Nippon Ichi confirms future Switch support after Disgaea 5

The Switch is several times more powerful than the PS3.
Okay, cool. I'll have to look into it.
which is why the switch is getting a port of disgaea 5 and the ps3 didn't.
it's still not close to a ps4 level's of power, and the ps4 even had some issues with disgaea 5.
despite how it looks, it can be quite demanding at times due to all the stuff going on.
the point being... why would it be surprising that a game, that has some minor performance issues on a more powerful system, required some downgrades to play well on a less powerful system?
It's not downgraded though.
Either it's not as demanding as you think it is or Switch is more powerful than you think it is.
That's hardly impressive. It's not even twice the WonderSwan. Selling 5.5M in 7 years would be disastrous for the Switch.
I had been hearing that it was downgraded, not that it matters to me. once I get a switch I will also get disgaea 5 to play on the go *shrugs*
I would still fully expect it to have some minor issues in the same places the ps4 did.
as for the switch... I know it's stronger than a ps3, and weaker than a ps4. weaker enough to a ps4 that direct ports of games that push the ps4 will be out of the question without downgrades at times, but beyond that I don't care how many terraflops it has. I am a niche gamer in general, cutting edge graphics never really interest me, interesting games do.
eh.... I imagine they will just go multiplatform with a lot of their games. the vita still has a few years of life left to it in japan.
Soooo you didn't read the OP or the rest of this thread for that matter?

Great news, i expect a Sony release and a "GOTY" release on Switch few months later
they will likely continue to release games on steam, but steam is never going to be their first market for their games.
PC sales in japan are horrible.
What were their PS2 era games?
Phantom Brave, La Pucelle and Disgaea? There were more I think but the names escape me.
They were always too daunting to get into because of the depth and grind commitment. But I appreciate that they got PAL ports back then which was a rarity in prior generations.

This isnt strictly true. Going by the harware rumours the Switch's CPU will be on par with or maybe even be stronger then the PS4/Pro/XboxOne/S
Where it lags is in the GPU. In practice this means all game logic should run comfortably on the Switch, with Resolution being the main Graphical compromise.
However in many less demanding games the Switch should do OK.

Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome
Soul Nomad & the World Eaters
GrimGrimoire
are the ones they worked on that you missed.
for the ps2 era they also published the atelier games, Ar tonelico, and released a single Sakura Wars game.
aka plenty of decent niche jrpgs.
they released some other stuff, but most of that was bad and not worth mentioning
for the record, the disgaea series is a bit misleading in terms of grind. the actual main story doesn't require much of a grind, and aside from a few item world runs here and there you can play through the main story with out to much trouble. it's all the extra content that requires the in depth stuff
you can play disgaea by merely leveling up your characters and ignoring most other systems aside from geo squares and throwing people.fair enough, as I said though in the end it doesn't matter much. all that matters is that it continues to get awesome games like disgaea 5 on it. though it would make sense why disgaea runs well on it if it merely lags in GPU as that is the thing that isn't that demanding on the system with disgaea.

Have they done a good off season game recently? I miss shit like phantom brave and makai. Disgaea is so stale.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Can you imagine the rage if an Asagi game shows up on the Switch before the PlayStation lol
coven received strong reviews and sold well in japan. that comes from one of their bigger teams. yomawari came out last year and had a small following, but it was made from a much smaller group.
Bring all the games NIS/NISA. I need more handheld/console experiences like this. Their games are things i'd have double-dipped on if they had cross-play in the Sony eco-system. Switch is a great way to accommodate my playstyle (handheld on the go, TV while at home), and i'd like to buy their future games there.
as others have said already they have been doing a bunch of different genres instead of different themed srpgs.
if i recall right they lost a decent amount of their talent to idea factory, and stuff like trillion which would be more like what you might be looking for was done by that talent.
And hopefully Monster Hunter.

Disgaea 5 DLC... in the future when the Nintendo network is up and running.

Okay, I'll go ahead and say it: If the Switch gets the support it should, there's no reason why it shouldn't be a MONSTER success in Japan. It's the Vita at the beginning of its life cycle, WITH a power boost, AND all the Nintendo first-party franchises from Mario and Zelda to Pokemon.
And if I'm being honest this thing SHOULD be a magnet for all J-RPG players at some point in the future, though that..doesn't say nearly as much for how well it'll do internationally lol.

Yeah Monster Hunter and Yokai Watch too.
Didn't think I would ever read that name from someone other than me.
Definitely, since I discovered the concept I'm crying for the lack of a localization (even fanmade) of any of the titles in the series ;__;

If the Switch gets the support the Vita and 3DS have been receiving then we are good. NIS do your magic.

They confirmed more DLC after what they put in the Complete edition?
Special and Standard editions are up for pre-order on NIS website, i'm hoping it's not an exclusive there as could spell doom for what little sale success it might find in the west.

I don't see any reason to believe that 3rd party series that were strongly associated with the 3DS wouldn't also be strongly associated with the Switch. Monster Hunter, Phoenix Wright, Layton, Yokai Watch, Shin Megami Tensei, Story of Seasons, etc all that stuff is going to be on Switch.
Thanks yea i've seen that but I don't want all that stuff for the money and I want my Prime discount. I also find it funny they have it for preorder on their own site and still don't have a date for it.
There was that rumor that they're splitting the Portable and Mainline Monster Hunter series again.
Monster Hunter 5 on PS4, Monster Hunter Portable 5 on Switch.

What's the source on that? Why would they jump from a low cost/high return platform to console? MH audience is on handheld, despite the occasional port-begging GAF thread.
The reasoning is that they want to make a play for the west.
It matches these ominous comments Capcom made.
Here is the rumor:
I'd believe 4chan over any of the professional leakers to be honest.

Unsurprising. Nippon Ichi needs what it can get.
Also not surprising. Disgaea 5 isn't really lighting up the PS4. It's sprites and simple 3D backgrounds. Which helps when they do the inevitable portable version. They're pretty lucky the Switch came along when it did.

Thread managed to sum up everything that needed to be said in the OP, lol.
Edit: except this.
Debunking the misinformation that the 4chan leaker knew the MHXX name before the direct.
Monster Hunter XX turned out to be real though. And there was no precedent for that naming scheme before. The safe guess would have been XG or something.
Also Capcom frequently acts like they have no idea what they're doing so why should this be any different?
