Did they explicitly say anything about the Switch version yet?

Some delusional people in the Gaf thread still think it's also day 1 but the announcement is kept for the Direct tomorrow, or E3 lol

Thats beacuse of this:

Mochizuki asked about the Switch version. The reply: "It is still planned but no announcements today. Whether it launches together on the same day as PS4 and 3DS or not we cannot say today"

I thought the classic turn based battles was what people loved about this series?

It is.

Well here goes all hopes Switch version could do well if they release it late after PS4/3DS versions , they will eat 80% of thé sales, people wont wait to get à portable ps4 version



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

As long as the localised Switch version is released on the same day I'm ok.

Why would a 3DS or PS4 owner buy the game for the Switch? I don't see much of a cannibalization of sales here. If anything it might increase sales due to double dippers.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

With FFXII and DQXI the same month, the PS4 is looking good for July in Japan. 2nd one million seller for the PS4 incoming.

i think will have 2 options a classic version and a free mode version

Even if that is another option.... I still only see one playable character there. So my issue with it remains

Heh, that's been my one concern since the game was originally announced. I've never played a DQ game before, but I've always got the impression that they were kind of western RPGish in that you create your hero and go through the story with just them rather than the traditional JRPG party format. And well... it still seems to me like the focus is 100% on a boring customisable hero rather than the cool unique party that I play RPGs for. So yeah, not really looking like my type of game so far.

Da fuq you been smoking, mate? It's as traditional af. You dont create your hero and the only time you pick your party is DQ 2-3/9 XD the rest you gain your party via story. The hero ain't customizable. Oi, you're about as well informed on this series as a Amish person is with Star Wars

Watching the trailer i think its obvious why the switch version isn't ready yet.

There are clearly two very different versions of the game on the PS4 and 3DS. The switch version would be expected to be based on the PS4 version of the engine and porting that over to the switch will no doubt require significantly more work.

It would look bad on nintendo if they have the Switch running the 3DS version.
