Furukawa admitted to shareholders that sales of Switch 2 were weaker than expectations

>dumbasses still believing the Japanese are paying less for a Switch 2
They're paying the same amount for the console (if not slightly more) as we do

>>732271392
You think so? Nintendo will need to release a lot of games quite soon for that, I think. There's no indication yet that they're going to do that so far

How many fucking times do people have to tell you the team that would normally make a 3d Mario game wanted to make Bananza?
>>
>>732271064
the game release lineup has been very strange as has been their rollout of switch 2 patches. It's like they are hesitant to move on from switch too quickly but it's time to just do it.
>>
>>732271512
yeah but why didnt they hand off 3D mario to another team in the meantime while they made bananza? is nintendo so short-staffed that there's literally only one tiny group of people that can make a mario game?
>>
>>732271064
no ship you ugly bastard. the console is very expensive and in no world are games like kirby air riders and mario tennis worth 70 bucks. if it had the same price as in the west as it does it japan, it would be selling way better

>>732272489
it's weird that they didn't release more games. did they not realise that some of these games weren't going to cut it? the business execs might be out of touch, I get the sense that they can't evaluate how good their products are anymore
>>
>>732272563
I really think they didn't want to move on from Switch 1 too fast and "alienate" the audience, but then you end up with this situation where Switch 2 users are bored.

Like almost a year to release a Mario Wonder patch is really stupid. Releasing KAR and MKW in the same year is... curious. Releasing Xenoblade X for Switch 1 a few months before Switch 2, but not releasing a Switch 2 version, is really weird considering hardcore fans will want XCX and Switch 2.

And what?
>>
>>732275223
No I'd rather they make lots of good Mario games regularly. Mario 64 was made by about 15 people and they took just over two years to make it, and that's the best 3D Mario game Nintendo have ever made. We know they could do it if they bothered to

Carried hard by Japan and their sick addiction to handhelds. Fraudulent company.

The real question is why the fuck are the japanese buying the switch 2 when it has no games.
>>
>>732271064
release the zelda retards
>>
>>732275304
the Japanese-language version of switch 2 is $200 cheaper. It only has Japanese language capability to dissuade foreigner scalpers who can't speak Japanese. But the result is that Japanese people get to buy the console for cheap.

Also, Kirby Air Ride is a real game in Japan. in Q3 there were more Kirby Air Ride sales within japan than outside of japan, which is extremely rare. Splatoon 2 did that too, but very very few games sell more within Japan than they do outside of Japan.

It costs 150 dollars cheaper in Japan. Yes the bundle too.

PS5 can play Elden Ring, BG3 and E33. Switch 2 has…what exactly?
>>
>>732275686
I think if you were hoping for the Switch 2 to beat the PS5 by 40M units, you would also hope that the 1st year of switch 2 had like, at least a dozen more exclusives than it actually seems to be going for so far

You want the switch 2 to be hitting ps1/ps2 numbers of exclusives, not ps4/ps5 numbers

Don't try to elevate Bonanza to Odyssey levels.
It has half the levels, nothing innovative or interesting and just looks worse in all aspects other than a slight pixel increase.
It is the most DEI game Nintendo has ever shipped, half the cast looking like they were taken from Ru Paul's Drag Show.

You can't even triforce

Even Switch 1's first year might be worse, if you take away everything that was ports.

>antijapan spam begins
>>
>>732275746
Bananza is good enough that you could argue that it's middle of the pack-ish.

The problem is more that Nintendo is a lot richer and has a lot more resources with which they could be developing games right now than they've ever had before. The expectations are higher for Switch 2 because they just came off making hundreds of billions of dollars from the Switch, and that's money that they could have dumped into development of more games. It's not like how the WiiU flopped and they started running out of money at the beginning of the Switch generation, and they didn't have much money to spend on development.

When you consider their financial position, the lack of games is really, REALLY disappointing. This should have been their time to go crazy making lots and lots of great games now that they have the resources to invest into doing that. Instead they're just sitting on a pile of about $15B of totally liquid cash - zero investment into making videogames. Like a lazy dragon hoarding gold instead of putting it towards productive uses. It's very sad.

>Play it. It's one of the best ones.
Played it and honestly wasn't really impressed with it, when I played the 3ds version I liked it a bit, but wasn't really jazzed with it like 64 on the ds or galaxy.
>>
>>732271064
west has stuff like steam machine, I'm sure some poorfags are holding out from buying Switch 2 because they're still waiting for the Steam Machine. In japan they don't care for troubleshooting linux, they rather play video games, which is why you don't see valve stuff sell well there

Only way to justify Steam Machine is if it's somehow same price or cheaper than PS5 Pro, but with same or better performance.
>>
>>732276109
no indians, no crappy ubisoft trash, just good games made quickly. like they used to! they used to be able to make really good games really fast. Smash Bros Melee was made in 13 months and that's the best Smash game they ever made! they could do it if they wanted to

>>732276342
it's how games used to be made. majora's mask only took 15 months. Twilight princess took 3 years. Mario sunshine took 18 months

they used to be able to do it. there's no reason they couldn't go back to making good games quickly instead of bad games slowly
>>
>>732276205
You're not asking for games that are akin in scope to what they were making in the N64 and GC eras. You're asking for Mario Odyessey, which is about 20 times larger than Mario 64 (modest estimate).
Games they release that are on a modest scale you brush off as not counting. Like say that Yoshi game.

mario 64 is a better game than odyssey, so the extra time and effort is wasted. they should make games as good as mario 64 in the amount of time it took to make mario 64. no "modest" games, just good games made quickly

>>
>>732276769
yeah! they used to PUMP out awesome games super quickly

something has gone deeply wrong that they can't seem to make any games in a reasonable timeframe anymore
>>
>>732276559
20 times bigger, 20 times more forgettable, and 20 times worse.
>>
They tried to turn the switch 2 into another port machine like the switch 1. Back then it was kind of unique playing games that were restricted to the big telly on a handheld, but that novelty has completely worn off and there's a ton of other better options for it. Nobody's interested in playing worse versions of games everyone already played 5 years ago that cost more.
>>
>>732276864
it's like they want to be valve. no more making games, just rake in the storefront 30% cut

but that's not what people want from nintendo. it would be a fucking tragedy if nintendo just became a storefront and gave up on developing games. and yet, we're going to hit an entire decade without a new 3D mario game. depressing...

When they say outside of Japan, do they just mean Europe? The Switch 2 seems to be doing fine in America going by the Circana reports.
But Europeans are obsessed with buying the PS5 to play GTA6. It's all my friends ever talk about.
>>
>>732277028
They absolutely want to be like Valve and Sony where they get passive income from other people’s games. It’s why they’ve been slow to release games and keep pushing partner Directs no one wants. The problem is generations of conditioning have lead people to go elsewhere if they want a game outside of Nintendo’s wheelhouse. It’s never going to work out for them.

>>732278587
Good is subjective. The number of exclusives is objective.
>>
>>732278587
That wasn't the question.
First you asked why big games like Odyssey weren't coming out all of the time.
Then you revised your question and asked why Nintendo aren't releasing smaller games more often.
Then you said "well I don't like that one, so it doesn't count".
>>
>>732278678
sure, but then you objectively count stuff like welcome tour, so it's not a useful metric even if it's an objective one

You have repeatedly shifted back and forth from "why aren't they making any games?" to "those don't count".
They objectively are making games. Is your problem that they aren't specifically making the games that came out when you were a kid?
If they actually released Mario 64 now, would you be okay with it, or would you complain that there's like three power-ups in the whole game, excessive asset reuse, and every Bowser fight is the same thing?

Just for additional clarification, Nintendo only said "slightly weaker" than expected outside of Japan, and that domestic Japan sales are outperforming beyond their expectations.

The sales overall are still well in balance of hitting Nintendo's extremely high sales target of 19 million by March 31st, and they haven't revised these expectations so it's not like they're struggling or anything. They just had the sky-high expectations of a double overflow of sales, instead of the sales being "just high, but not sky-high". Switch 2 is still breaking sales records, it's just that was Nintendo's expected floor and not its ceiling.

>>732280763
Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Banaza, and Air Ride are whole new games though. Big, AAA quality, good games.
That counts for more than Mario VS Rabbids or Arms, surely?
Plus, the system hasn't even been out for a full year yet.

And no, BOTW doesn't count, and nor does Metroid Prime 4.
>>
>>732281672
Every game I listed was a new game so, no, it doesn't count for something in a comparison with the original Switch's 2017 lineup.
>>
>>732282207
Those last three games and Arms are who gives a shit tier though. BotW is a Wii U game.
Switch 2 also has Fast Fusion.

That's just Fast Racing Neo with DLC. Ie: it's a Wii U game.

>>732271064
I'm guessing they expected to already be at halfway to the Switch's sales because obviously people would be upgrading. However no one really sees a reason to upgrade, especially with it being much more expensive on top of games being more expensive. They have their other consoles for third party games and Nintendo has yet to really show a "killer app" for the Switch 2 to really push the sales. The Switch 2 editions of games are nice, but they are "must have". They are either going to have to get a new 3d Mario to wow us, or another Zelda. Kirby, Metroid and other franchises are B listers

>>732283496
It'll pick up when Zelda happens, assuming they don't completely flub Zelda.

Why do you retards forget games exist but hqve no problem remembering the year the game before the newest one released

Its actually $319 and dispite what some people are saying less money is less money. The purpose of their Japanese region locked version is so their supply cant be bought out by Chinese and Korea consumers.

So then why is the non region locked version $130 more expensive? Ive come to the conclusion its completely nationalistic. Its too large a price gap for a simple change in software they must want to charge the gaijins a premium.

Theres also this deal to further my point
>$100
>gets you kirby air riders + one other full priced switch 2 game like MKW, bananza or PLZA and some lanyards

>they haven't revised these expectations
That doesn’t mean much when they haven’t revised their software projection either despite the fact there is no way they are hitting that one (they’re projecting 48M and they’d at 37M).

Also, their language is trying to soften the blow of bad news more than anything. Switch 2’s current year sales include the massive launch and most consoles don’t have this level of supply. This report was always going to look good because of that but it doesn’t change the fact it’s going the wrong direction. The sales it has are with every major retailer giving MK away from free in what should have been a massive buying season for the console. Switch 2 is just repeating the 3DS where it does well in Japan and no where else.

It's Mayro. Doesn't need to look any better than Odyssey
>>
>>732272563
The business guys are in touch, that's why it's the fastest selling video game platform ever. It doesn't matter if they wanted more global sales than Japanese sales if they still have high sales overall. When Pokemon gen 10 comes out it will sell another gorillion copies, I'm so sorry.
>>
>>732275802
Are people made because they can't pirate DKC Bananza yet? It's not that big of a deal guys.
>>
>>732278720
They turned this around by simply combining their handheld/TV consoles. They always dominated handheld, now they just dominate generally due to this change.

>>732289490

The direction it's going is up, and it's still outpacing every other console in the same time frame. It's literally not slowing down, the "it was just a good launch" cope doesn't hold water any more.
You're probably right about missing software projections though, unless they're shadow dropping something big then Mario Tennis and five days of Mario Wonder 2.0 aren't gonna cut it.

After owning a Switch and dealing with constantly failing joycons, an overpriced marketplace lacking in quality games, a non replaceable battery or upgradable storage, no refund policy whatsoever, and a 50 dollar a year online subscription that doesnt even include gamecube emulation which is exclusive to the switch 2... Im fucking done.

>>732294114
They cannot stand their friends being criticized.
You should see when I shit on them and post a picture of my switch. They get so angry that I bet they’d murder me if I was in the same room as them just because their friends forgot to release games for their new system and I called them out on it.
They’ll survive but it’s unfortunate that they will.

Sad! (raughs)

>Releasing Xenoblade X for Switch 1 a few months before Switch 2, but not releasing a Switch 2 version, is really weird considering hardcore fans will want XCX and Switch 2.

Having paid patches for Switch 2 upgrades is also fucking stupid if you want the new console to sell. They should have had free upgrades for all Nintendo games ready right at launch (or within the first 1-2 months max).

They went full retard and charged out of the ass for everything out of greed, like that little tutorial program. It's well-deserved that they get fucked in the ass now.

I planned to get it on release, but no OLED + NO GAEMS means I'll wait until they get their shit together.

They could make the Switch 2 considerably cheaper by releasing a docked-only version with no screen or battery.

Switch to Switch 2 just feels like changing the settings from 1080p to 1440p desu

I really just don't see anything it does significantly different (except upcharge me on vidya) to warrant purchasing an entirely new console.

You can say that about any device in this day in age. If I get a 5090 or new pc tell me what it does differently? literally fuck all. Same with smartphones. Same with TVs after 4k oled literally nothing matters. We have hit peak for many hardware devices.

Bowser's Fury is a 4 hour long side mode in a Switch port of a Wii U game. Of course it doesn't count as a mainline Mario entry you fucking dumbass. And yeah, I'd say the original Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario were significant enough to count as mainline entries. If Nintendo created an entirely NEW Mario spinoff that isn't sports shit I'd count it as well. Lowkey, I count Mario + Rabbids as a main game
