copying my reply to federale:

when this https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2017/170131_4e.pdf reads sold more then expected, then bam succes.

I think your right.

You’ve seen English isn’t my first language (it really isn’t), so help me out, is that:

I’ve plugged this earlier:

You know, I’m in favour of artificial scarcity: let MatPat explain it to you

Take my take with some salt. (I replied to Ishamael with the basic gist of my argument).

I don’t have any sources, so my guess is as good as yours. What I do feel is that the current demand for the Switch is not out of proportion. The amount of people wanting a Switch is not Wii Levels of surprise.

I’m always on the Nintendo fanboy bandwagon, but I’m still a bit wary about it’s sales succes. The time between Splatoon 2 and Mario Oddesy wil be really trying. And E3 will tell if Nintendo has things after that or not.

This is the artificial scarcity making some good headlines. They could have sold a lot more in it’s first weeks and then see it decline more sharply. But no, what were seeing here is a lot more in line with Nintendo’s production capacity then the actual demand.

Oh I missed the announcement of a Tales of port, I’m interested. The sources I quickly googled about it aren’t too convincing though. Do you have a solid source?

You’re incredibely likely spot on. But on the other hand, I don’t see anything that indicates these are gameplay shots and not pre-rendered cutscenes (The article does suggest this is in-game, but the camera angles all look incredibly impractical for gameplay).

Nintendo isn’t known for these types of games. I would buy this for Switch, looks interesting. And it would be a nice contrast to Puyo-puyo x Tetris, Bomberman, the Mario games and Breath of the Wild. Switch is already getting Payday 2 of all things, so why not.

I feel so bad for wanting these even with that pricetag :S. They’d adorn my work-desk no question.

Our very own TAY’s GBD beat you to the punch a few months ago: http://tay.kinja.com/the-30-best-super-nintendo-titles-1783691493

Yes there is. Base code is probably very different. Besides that. Testing and releasing for an outdated version is probably kore costly then it’s worth

Horses are fantasic when you hunt for resources that you have on your radar, but you don’t know where they might be (I found shadow trouts this way for example)

Seems like you didn’t play in English either (What is Champion in English is Chosen one in Dutch). And yeah, the blue outfit seemed to match the Champion outfits like the tunic Link is wearing.

If Seiken Densetsu 3 gets an official translation, then yes having these 3 games is worth it’s 50,- price tag. Seiken Densetsu 3 is IMO one of the greatest games ever made, or at least it’s top contender for best soundtrack in game history.

Hey Photo’s from Iga Ueno, I actually was there in October. Fun place.
