I was in the minority and felt like $20 for the online service with what they were offering was flawed, but somewhat reasonable. This, this is ****ing ridiculous. This was one of the only incentives to buy your damn online service, and you're not even implementing it in every game. **** off, keep your ****ty service. Can we please boycott this? I don't know what more to say people, don't buy this. Don't support ****ty products.

You can boycott it, not like it will matter in the end

Imma buy it because, well, I wanna

DLC portraits can be used on anyone, regardless of race or class (at least, the Protector, Medic, and Gunner can, I didn't bother with the others). They're especially fun with the Celestrians and their rainbow of extra skin and hair colour options:



The last one isn't in my party, I just made it up as an example. The actual Shisho (no, not you, maybe next time you can join me :p ) is in my party as a Fencer, with her default colour scheme.

why were they advertised as specific classes then
Actually, even if classes were limited, I could just reclass them since stats are based on Race and Second Names
not that it matters since I have exactly none of them lol

Just realized I have two Linuses, so sacrificing my Winter Robin for March on Brave Hector was actually not as consequential as it first seemed due to having more Brazen Atk/Spd fodder. And with the update no longer requiring to level up fodders before upgrading them, I get to save a lot of time and/or crystals.

Now, all I need is a Fury seal to really make my mage Lyn broken.

Yeah but what's the use for crystals and shards now?

Nah, playing the likes of DOOM and Skyrim and even Crash Bandicoot on the go are absolutely what drives sales for the Switch. The exclusive first party line-up on Switch isn't even good (I don't count Wii U and 3DS ports as exclusives since, well...you can get them on systems besides the Switch, people such as myself have been playing them for years), it's mediocre at best. If it weren't for the strong third party and indie support, Switch would do decently at best.

Huh? If I remember correctly, you used to say how third party games like DOOM, Skyrim, Wolfenstein, and Crash BandicootN Sane Trilogy all suffer downgrades on Switch which makes the games not worth playing for those who doesn't care about the portability of Switch, which I actually agree. Despite I have said those games are still great nonetheless, and while I still stand by my previous saying that N Sane Trilogy's downgrade weren't that significant compare to DOOM and Wolfenstein II. But from what I aware and from the sources we got at least, these third party games were never system sales driver on Nintendo Switch, from what we know we only heard from Bethesda that they were happy with DOOM and Skyrim's sales, but that doesn't mean they actually drive the sales for the Switch. Systems drivers are those that has high attach rates, and from Nintendo's sales data, all of those games are first party games, hell even MK8 Deluxe which is a Wii U port, sold up to 10.35 million copies. And look at 2017, it shows that up to this point, Nintendo Switch doesn't need current third party games to drive its sales, it has always been Nintendo's first party and third party exclusives. Oh yeah, what you should be saying is that third party exclusives on the Switch are what drives Switch sales too, like what I said before, just take Mario+ Rabbids and Octopath Traveler as an example.

Same with indie games despite many indie games sell often sell the best on Switch. It was because Switch has strong sales that many great indie games are coming to the system.

And whether last year's and 2018 Switch first party line up is good or bad is really up to individuals, some may think last year is the best launch year while some think it was terrible. 2017 for me was obvious the best, 2018 though first party was meh, but third party and indie line up are just amazing.

So that's why I don't think some third party games don't have cloud saves will hurt Switch sales, but I am positive that this might hurt those game's sales and future third party support.

Yeah it is.

Don't misunderstand, that's not all it is. It's also a nifty romp for people who like the OG 151, Pikachu, foxcats, or any mix of the above, possibly along with Go. That's why I'm picking it up.

But you best believe they're looking to bring in big new bucks. Beginners gotta begin somewhere, and this is a nice, welcoming way to do it.

Which is why I don't think it's a Trojan Horse lol. Trojan Horse is like something that is bad but disguise as good, but when it comes to Let's Go, it neither of that...

It's more of a "Pokemon game in Weenie Hot Junior level" for those Pokemon main series fans.

Yeah, but the amount of people who don't care about portability at all is quite low.

It's not about a specific third party game driving sales, Switch having a variety of third parties at all is what's driving sales for the system. Nobody would buy it if they felt they would be dealing with long droughts of no games like the Wii U had. However, the assurance that there will be a lot of games coming to Switch via third party support, encourages people to invest in the system, and then owning the Switch at all is what leads to people buying the first party games like Mario and Zelda. Some of the bigger first party games might help, but most people aren't going to buy the Switch for one or two games.

... Got confused with the badges lol

I guess you can still use them if you want to save time or something. Maybe there's a unit you main, then you get one with better IVs and just don't want to waste time before merging?

I personally can not deny or confirm that lol.

Let's just say that those who likes to play games in 4K or high graphics and smooth framrate so bad, and has a lot of gaming time. Those are the audiences that the Switch version will be the last one targeting at.

You have understand that I look at the sales and the infos we got... and I never deny that third party games sell poor on Switch, I just think that we haven't got any actual sales data... all we heard were mostly that many third party games sells pretty well on Switch, and even one have their studios being saved. From the facts we got, we can be sure that for now the Nintendo first party games sells the best on Switch, it always has been. All million copies titles are nearly all Nintendo first party games, we still have yet to see a western third party game sold over a million copies on Switch, games like Octopath Traveler which is a third party exclusive, did.

And Wii U suffering droughts, lack of western third party was only one of the reason since Wii U got a bunch of that at launch, Wii U never really got Japanese third party games either, and Nintendo was very slacking off when it comes to their first party games on Wii U as well until Pikmin 3 came out which was a year later after Wii U's launch.

Moreover no... it's the contrary... People buy first party games like Mario and Zelda, and then with how those games drives Switch's sales (Botw sold better than Switch console itself at launch btw lol. And Mario Odyssey and Switch just completely destroys the 2017 holiday season) and how unique the system is, this drives people getting those third party and indie games.

Also with good marketing too........ which was what Wii U (And even 3DS to some degree) lacked.

Oh yeah, moreover about third parties, what you pointed out was western third party games too. When it comes to Japan third party games like Dragon Ball FighterZ, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Attack on Titan II, MH One's Justice, BlazeBlue CrossTag Battle etc.... Nintendo Switch got plenty of them and while they weren't really Switch sales driver, they all sold decent on Switch and games like MH One's Justice sold best on PS4 despite it runs at 30 fps on Switch.

Then again, in Japan, Splatoon 2 dominates, like... almost everytime. And yes, Japan home console market isn't as big as US, but its mobile gaming market is huge, and you can also see news that Japan home console market is getting better thanks to Nintendo Switch.

I don't wanna repeat this but... the sales said otherwise lol. First party games did help drive Switch's sales, you really can't gloss this over. And yes, most people are really going to buy Switch just for one or two games.

My sis and two brothers for example, my sis bought Switch in order to play XC2, and that's it.. (FYI, My sis isn't a Xenoblade fan but she knows KOS MOS though, and it was definitely the artstyle that made her buy XC2 since she doesn't give a damn about XC1 and XCX lol)

She later bought a Super Mario Odyssey Switch bundle which made me super jealous, but she just like the red joy cons and don't give a frick about Odyssey... huh...

One of my bro plays BBCTB... EVERY SINGLE frickin day... also play Fortnite with me sometimes. My other brother is a Splatoon 2 fanatic, he plays it every day with his crew on Discord.

People like you and me are really the minority, only a few plays a lot of games. Most people not only just a get one or two games, they also get the first party games when it comes to Nintendo Switch.

I know, that's really just a mere speculation from me haha.

I'm fingers crossed that this won't happen despite it will likely will happen nonetheless.
