Ikaruga? The bullet hell shoot em up? The GC era one? Yeah that ought to light up the charts... |
What does era matter? I can guarantee if Capcom ported the original trilogy of RE games ya'll be throwing money at the monitor. Nobody here would turn down a FF compilation. Why is Ikaruga's sales history even a topic. It is a timeless classic. High critical reception. Why all these walls? Just get it. Its good.
Strange that they would at the same time do this https://gamingbolt.com/square-enix-doubles-down-on-its-multiplatform-approach

Was the list that has been posted previously incomplete? Because you speak of great games that are already available. That you use Ikaruga as an example for lack of support from Nintendo fans puts your entire argument on very thin ice. Ikaruga didn't sell well on any platform it has been released on and that's a very common result for games from the developer Treasure. If that's the best example you've got, then you really have nothing. |
I would gladly make a list of great readily available games. Im not making a sales comparison. Ikaruga is niche IP in a unmainstream genre which greatly contributes to sales history. What doees it matter though? Why is that a barrier to YOU buying it. We as gamers, who follow the market, know Ikaruga's quality. If you are looking for great games, then there is one right there or is it about specific games.

Do you even know what Ikaruga is?
1) Bullet hell shooters are VERY NICHE.
2) Very old - albeit highly acclaimed one game. Not a remaster. Simple straight port. Do you expect Crash Trilogy (not remastered the old PS1 games) to have sold nearly as well as the new game?
As for RE compilation, of course it would sell better, it's a well established franchise, in a market that has proven many times that does buy such games. What's your point?
And as it has been said, you cannot claim Nintendo fans are worse when it comes to port begging, or nagging when all users groups do it all the same. Case is, Xbox and PS users rarely have to put up with it.

No. The topic is Square-Enix and the discussion evolved to how different fanbases react to the fact that certain games are not coming. |
No it didn't . The actual topic is on the term suppport and what it actually means on this side of the forum.

Not that strange when the quote should be differently interpreted than it is in the article. “Growth in the number of platforms is basically a good thing, and we intend to further advance our multiplatform approach,” That's the sole sentence the article is built around, but what it most likely really means is that Square-Enix recognizes Switch as a viable console (hence "growth in the number of platforms") and therefore games that were planned to be multiplatform will aim to have a Switch release as well. |
And advance multiplatform approach certainly makes sense of making a division devoted to Switch right? Even more because games made for Switch can't be ported to others.

You are all over the place with your rant. This quickly moved from Square-Enix to all third parties. Are you now asking me specifically why I haven't bought Ikaruga for Switch? I already own the game for GameCube. And in case you missed it: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6412088 |
Lol no further questions your honor!!
close case.
34 years playing games.
Makes good sense for Square Enix with the Switch doing so well in Japan. Will have to see if any Western devs follow suit.

Regarding your question, advancing the multiplatform approach to include Switch and setting up a division specifically for Switch game development are not mutually exclusive. It's clear that Switch will be the market leading console that supplants the 3DS, so it getting both exclusive and multiplatform content is a logical course of action. My interpretation of your second sentence is that you don't like it that Switch third party support is improving. |
Sorry but no. If they are approaching to have more multiplatform approach, creating divisions to create exclusives is the opposite movement.
I have no issue with Switch having more support (nor even if others are having less support because of it), but when putting only in Switch technical limitations aren't a reason. So'll see if Nintendo fans will complain about it, because when there are real limitations they complain, but when it is a market decision will they?
