Shining Resonance (PS3) 93106 (75%) Shining Resonance Refrain (PS4) 27623 (22%) Shining Resonance Refrain (NS) 3756 (3%) I'm puzzled about Octopath's outstanding success. Look at the following pictures
Switch owners had the choice between an old-looking RPG and a modern RPG with waifus, modern graphics & animation, and they massively picked the one with weak graphics. I believe that can send a wrong message to 3rd parties : now SquareEnix or anyone can make a PSOne-looking RPG, slap exclusive + nostalgia on it and say "hey, Switch fans, this is just for you". Result being that Switch would get less and less high-end games and more old-school ones with low production values. |
Is this a joke?
BTW, with a recent video by Gamexplain regarding Gym battle requirement is applied to all Gym instead of the first starting area then there's no doubt they're really alienating core pokemon fans.
Gamefreak better hopes 2019 version of mainline pokemon is good enough because Nintendo isn't gonna accept mediocre result for a big franchise like Pokemon. Nintendo now has a lot of titles that can simply outperform Pokemon sales.
