So the Switch owners in Japan had the choice between a quality game with Metascore 84 and a game with score of 71. So hopefully Square and other publishers get the message and bring more games of higher quality to Switch instead of trying to sidetrack users with flashy animations and waifus.

You guys didn't understand what I was trying to convey here. I'm not saying that Shining Resonance is supposed to be a better RPG than Octopath. Haven't played Octopath so I don't know. Pretty sure it's very appealing though. I just find strange that buyers would so massively disregard the better graphics.

You all watched E3 and saw that publishers tend to keep their most ambitious games exclusive to PS4 & X1. With Switch players not showing interest for graphical prowess, this trend can only continue, implying even less effort from 3rd parties to adapt the big games to Switch.    

But why do you think it is because of the graphics? Not because what Zorg Said. 

 

Maybe because of how they advertise both of them? 

Did that anime game had a demo? 

Maybe Japanese Switch owners judge more than its graphics? Like.you know the gameplay.
