Forums - Nintendo - Tabata: Nope To FFXV On Switch; Would Like To See Android Apps On Switch

Fuchigole on 08 February 2017

How good is FFXV?? I really wanted to try this game, but I haven't checked the reviews. I hope that one day could be on the switch.

Kinda bogus to say, "it wouldnt run" then backtrack and say "it might, we havent tried"

this, the guy does not have a clue if it can run or not.



34 years playing games.

It's more about FFXV's obsolete engine than anything else. Even PC might not get a port.

I'm waiting for that obligatory "this game sucks anyway. Nobody would buy this game on nintendo console" response

 

"Incidentally, I think that Switch would be really cool if it could run Android apps on its portable screen…"

I agree with you on this matter, mr tabata. But looking at how nintendo is treating NSwitch, they probably will tell you to use your phone instead.

I'm sure people would buy it on the Switch. Obviously lower numbers due to most everyoen who wanted the game already got it, but I will say that teh game does suck anyway.

Nintendo fans would buy this though... FF started on Nintendo after all. They'd buy it over CoD and Mass Effect, I'm sure. It just fits Nintendo's demographic more.

We'd buy it more then the xbox fans that's for sure. It would sell much better than it did on xbox one. I don't get why developers release rpgs on xbox one instead of Nintendo consoles



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

what Ninty fans? There hasnt been a main FF game since SNES that was 1994. That was 23 years. ago. So anyone who really cares at this point has either moved on or been buying PSs to play those games this entire time. Hell 23 years. That means that means their have been more main FF games released on SOny systems than Nintendo, more than twice the amout. Doesnt matter where it started FF and Sony are symbiotic at this point, moreso than it was ever with Nintendo

I'm expecting the "do we need a thread every time a game doesn't come to switch" argument to come up shortly,

And in this case - absolutely. FF15 was on many people wish list.

Perhaps there should be a "mega thread" to group all threads like this though.

We had so many "FFXV is coming to Switch" rumor threads that it's only fair to make a thread about it being wrong. How many rumors of games being ported to Switch ended up wrong?

quite a few

Lots of developers ignored the Wii even when it did have an active 100 million userbase or relegated it to just shovelware. 

Well over the Wii's lifetime it still got a lot of major 3rd party franchsises e.g. Call of Duty, Fifa, Dragon Quest X, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Tomb Raider, etc. Developers stopped putting out games because they didn't sell as the majority of the Wii's install base were casual gamers which had no interest in any theses games.

the Wii probably missed more 3rd party major releases than it got. I wouldnt even put RE up there as it got spinoffs and a port of a port. No RE 5 or 6 (which some people swore 5 was coming.) It more about the TYPE of install base than numbers as we could see with the type of games wii got

Forget FF itself and just look at JRPG's or heck other SE games on Nintendo consoles, handheld and home.

There is still a market there.

Wait like a year or two and play it when some ultimate/complete edition comes out.

The game is very imcomplete and rushed the last 1/2 of the game. It's supposed to get more fleshed out in patches and DLC. Don't buy now since you'll just get upset at playing what feels like an incomplete game.
