Good. About time they got their act together and actually support the company that has kept them afloat for the past years.

Except Capcom. Screw Capcom.

Thats actually almost whole week old news, and I think that "2019" statement was referred to mostly to Capcom after what they said.

Agree.

Well, that was beyond evident given that few japanese came for it, save the exclusive projects, in 2017.I mean, Capcom is a prime example of that with MH World, though you could say that its simply Capcom being Capcom.

And well, thats also an unfortunate news, since I would like to play many japanese games on my Switch.Well, hopefully they get those developers back to work and being incentivized with a whip, because I want those games as soon as possible!

MH World started development before the Switch was a thing.

MH XX tho? They ported it to the Switch, but released it 3 months after launch? When it could have been a launch title? That's Capcom.

True, but they didn't even invite Nintendo to the negociations while they certainly must have known some details about the Switch by that point. So clearly they must have been thinking that the NX (as the Switch was still known by that point) would be a flop.

As for Koei Tecmo, yeah they are supporting the Switch... in Japan! But why are they not bringing their games to the west? Similar thing with Sqeenix, where's DQH I&II?

I actually don't get why it is such a huge issue for some people that third parties are being cautious about the success of a new console. There's never any guarantee that a console is going to be a profitable platform for a developer, and even if it would have been a success in Japan, one region isn't enough to justify a huge support for any console outside of niche titles and genres.

And nobody could blame them.

See that's completely wrong. Any developer not developing for Nintendo right now is obviously a Nintendo hater. If you don't blindly throw millions at an unreleased Nintendo console you're not only a hater but also very stupid because Nintendo consoles are always guaranteed to make you a profit. And if they don't it's obviously your game's fault for being terrible.

It's kind of funny to see the posts in this thread pitying 3rd party japanese developers when it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things once we consider the development cycle of a new high production value game in this day and age ... 

The only thing you can expect out of a new system from 3rd parties are ports so most 3rd party japanese developers are doing just fine in that regard ... 

Hynad also makes a valid point that japanese developers don't recoup the cost in just selling to their own domestic market and 2019 is a perfectly fine timeframe for the wave of japanese game releases ...
