Koei Tecmo right now- |
Actually, for all the success KT has had by jumping early into the Switch, you could say they've lost a pretty big opportunity. Most of KoeiTecmo's IPs have become less and less popular over the years. Dead or Alive, Nobunaga's Ambition, Fatal Frame, Ninja Gaiden, Dynasty Warriors... These are series that have either become much less well known or have survived through deals and crossovers. They could have used the Switch lauch to reintroduce a lot of their old IPs during that vital first year, specially the West, where the chance of profit was bigger.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but at the very least a major relaunch of one of their franchises could have helped the company a lot.
