EDF is great and it is also(unless things have changed) a very casual friendly game in splitscreen multiplayer. And everyone will be intrigued by the giant ants on skyscrapers, UFOs and all the other crap that is going on. It's the perfect shoot the shit game.
Don't think any of the games I pointed to really fit that description.
guess well just have to wahoo, big tiddy animu, and go fast
Pssst Crazy Taxi is a Japanese franchise.....
Didn't most of the yakuza titles release on ps3 aside from 1+2 being on the ps2 ( heck even 0 and kiwami released first on the ps3 and were ported to the ps4 later ) the only ones that can't run on the switch are the dragon engine ones
Yeah, the majority of the series has been on PS3 so far. The Dragon Engine games thus far are:
Like I said earlier, it's a mere amount of games which keeps on decreasing (the latest ones being Persona, Nier Automata, 13 Sentinels and Demon Slayer) and this doesn't play in favor for the Playstation 5 which is only relying on those big franchises with virtually nothing in-between. There is a reason why the Switch + PC combo makes a lot of sense.
There was actually a HD release of RGG 1+2 on the PS3 but it was japanese-only, so technically the entire franchise (including Kenzan, Isshin and Dead Souls/OF THE END) was on the same console before 6 & the birth of the Dragon Engine.
I believe Sega is run by retarded suits, between mismanaging their own IPs (Puyo Puyo stuck in Tetris limbo hell saddens me the most) and completely missing opportunities in the market like this. Even something like Vanquish would run great on the Nintendo handheld compared to its original PS3 release, and I'm surprised Sonic Adventure Battle 2 wasn't ported in for the nostalgia factor either.
Don't forget Jet Set Radio
Nier Automata is the only one of those that could possibly push the Switch graphically, and its a PS4/Xbone game. The rest are well within the Switch's established capability. They aren't the big AAA titles I'm talking about.
Hell, the Gameboy Advance used to get spinoffs of all those franchises (except Tekken and Soul Calibur) too. But the era of the "inferior portable spinoff" is long over. Switch is a console that is both a home console and a portable, so, for that caveat to actually work, it has to be able to actually compete in the home console space. Nobody's going to go out of their way to make a Switch only spinoff of anything (besides maybe Capcom), because the amount of resources needed to be put into that game makes it not worth the extra effort. Portable Spinoffs of old were cheap to make and didn't require a lot of resources, so they could be churned out easily for a quick buck. The Switch doesn't have that advantage now.
Switch can still get those kinds of spinoffs and not just from Capcom, look at the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games it gets, for example.
They must be. With the crazy runaway success of the Switch, it's total lunacy to hear about a company that isn't scrambling to throw whatever they can onto it. If I inherited the rights to even some completely forgotten trashy Game Boy game, I would not sleep until that shit is published on both Switch and Steam. I would hightail it down to Piss Mart and buy out their stock of B12 and espresso and stay up for a fucking week rigging the game into some FOSS emulator, making an appropriate executable, and slamming it onto those stores for a few bucks. Then I'd scramble to gather keys and sell them to resellers. Maybe even contact Epic and see if I can get some of their chinabux. Every day your game isn't on one of those big platforms is a day it's not making you money, and no matter how insignificant your game is, it'll always at least sell to total hoarders who buy everything on the platform.
Huh, cool.
I don't know if I'd consider Bravely Default a spinoff of Final Fantasy, but maybe it counts.
The spinoffs Nintendo gets aren't as good as they used to be, and are more rarely ever exclusive, but they do get them. And they're not all as bad as Chocobo GP, there's also stuff like SNK Gals' Fighters and the upcoming Dragon Quest Treasures (which I think happens to be an exclusive, I'm interested in it).
Depends on if their good or not. Hardly anyone wants to directly acknowledge Dirge of Cerberus, for example, but people still fondly remember Crisis Core, which is why its getting re-released. Nobody talks about Grand Theft Auto Advance, but most people remember and love Vice City Stories and Liberty Cities stories. Final Fantasy Tactics and Crystal Chronicles get far more recognition (and were far more played) than any of that chocobo crap.
All true, which, as I said before, will weaken the Switch, because its library is squeezed from both ends: the cheaper stuff it would have gotten in earlier generations goes to mobile and PC, while the actual good AAA games never come over in the first place, leaving the console to primarily be a port machine of decades old games (look within your heart, you know it to be true). Nintendo's biggest saving graces are its own trickling first party output (which it refused to improve through mergers and acquisitions until recently, and even then, in only a limited fashion) that leave it with long software droughts, and the fact that Sony and Microsoft are hesitant to abandon the previous generations due to console manufacturing difficulties, thus ensuring that games can't abandon the older hardware and push better graphics, which would leave the Switch at even more of an obvious disadvantage.
Sony had nothing to do with that. R* noticed GTA: CW sold poorly on DS, so they ported it to PSP.
Silly. We know that this will just prove the absolute domination the PS5 has over everything. Just like how Stray doing well on Steam proved PS was masterrace
