Dreamcaster999 said: I will say that I think any Japanese third party is basically shooting themsleves in the foot by shunning Switch/Switch 2 at this point. A lot of them still target PlayStation only for the home market despite Nintendo outselling them 3:1 or even 4:1. |
Most of JP 3rd parties not releasing things on Switch are the ones developing games that target high specs and couldn't be ported to Switch in first place. I dont think Capcom can make RE Evil Village run on Switch
The big elephant in the room here is PC. PC market untapped a huge userbase for JRPGs. Developing for Series/PS5/PC is enough to secure high sales which can make them avoid low quality ports from Switch. Current architecture and engines making porting for those 3 systems a breeze and avoid development costs with optimization. Not every company wants to release a game that is plagued with many frame rate issues and problems to render assets and textures
As for Persona I'll be disappointed if it's not getting a Switch 2 release because Persona 5 is on Switch. It's not a high demanding game. I believe it has a decent chance to be on Switch 2 at launch
Kingdom Hearts will depend on how much Square wants the game to be high-fidelity. I honestly hope they keep targeting PlayStation here, simply because it's one of the few JRPGs that have enough budget to produce high fidelity graphics
