Nintendo Switch is already one of the best selling video game systems of all time with plenty of great software, but Bandai Namco, one of the premiere Japanese developers seem to be lagging a bit behind in supporting the system with day and date games. Ports to the Nintendo Switch often come years later and full price. Let's break down why that is happening and go over when we can see some of their newest titles like Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Arise on the Nintendo Switch! #NintendoSwitch #ScarletNexus #TalesofArise Sources: https://nintendoeverything.com/bandai-namco-surprised-at-the-success-of-the-switch-three-big-titles-will-be-announced-next-year/ https://www.gematsu.com/2021/07/famitsu-sales-6-21-21-6-27-21 https://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames Become a ELITE Channel Member! /channel/UCmhLWUxwTyFJqHt4h0lSUsQ/join Subscribe!: /user/penintendo Donation Link: https://streamlabs.com/penintendo/tip Or Paypal: https://paypal.me/playeressence All donations are used to improve the quality of PlayerEssence!

    @theshadowdirector3 years ago Just a few suggestions, and these aren' t even completely new games:
    - a tales of remake, i' m think phantasia or symphonia in particular. - soulcalibur ii complete edition, every guest character together for the first time.
    - a tekkrn collection, this seems to work out well for street fighter.
    - pac-man world remastered trilogy, a bit late to the 3d platforming revival but still.
    - ridge racer, could just be a compilation game like on the psp, switch is planning games like this

    @rupertocampo89653 years ago In bandai namco' s defence, back with the wiiu, they got burned by that system. When the switch was first announced i remember all the haters and doubters and it takes great courage for the president of a game company to look back and post on social media: uhh ya we fucked up. So lets fix that!
    so for all that, i give bn props and patiently wait for the rest of the roster of games they are planning to port over or potentially build from scratch for the switch or even. The new super switch pro 2: portable. Exciting times ahead!

    @ifrit19373 years ago Eh. As far as switch goes it likely wouldn' t be able to play some of namco' s more recent games without quite a bit more work (which takes time) and before you say " no these games will be fine" tales of vesperia de, a 10 year old game at release, had more crashes than any other switch game i own (if fact i dropped it to wait for a stability patch and never got around to completing it yet. Too busy with other games right now and i already beat the 360 version so i already know the main story) which means they obviously needed a bit more work on the game to make it perform well.
    also all of these will likely come once these optimizations are made (almost all the sao games except lycoris came out and the one before it has fairly similar graphics to code vein, scarlet nexus, god eater 3, tales ofeven not that far from arise) personally though i' d rather they focus on much older tales games, especially the non localized ones like destiny dc, destiny 2, rebirth, phantasia nakiri dungeon x, and innocence r. Also the fact i can list all of these means they would have many different games they' d need to port which will take time. Also as far as arise i think they' d be better off waiting for an advanced version of switch (not talking about switch oled since it doesn' t look like it' ll be much more powerful than normal switch and main difference being the oledmaybe there' s something more to it) or it' s successor (cause more likely than not the next nintendo console will be a home/handheld hybrid as well with how well the switch is selling and the fact japanese gamers are generally moving towards mobility for gaming over house gaming either through mobile phones or handheld consoles like switch/3ds.
    with that said. Would love all tales games and jrpgs like scarlet nexus (playing it now, great game so far) or code vein to come to it day one so i don' t buy it on sony consoles (mainly cause i hate sony' bs anti jrpg practices that they' ve established over the past few years with censorship and the like)ya many of the game i buy on ps4 have been going to switch but generally it' s half a year or longer after (prime example is ys 9 or the trailsthat said after watching yongyea' s recent videos on how sony is screwing indies i really hope the indies and jrpg developers decide to abandon sony in the near future and focus on selling on switch and pc. Maybe xbox too but they' re not really that much better than sony tbh. At least until sony gets their heads out of their asses

    @eileenjimenez71143 years ago What' s infuriating for me with bandai namco on the switch is their lack of traditional 3d fighting games on it.
    i really want to play a tekken granted, there' s pokkn but half of it is still arena fighting so it' s just not cutting it.
    i know that tekken 7 and soul calibur 6 are pretty demanding and would not look good even if it managed to run okay on switch but remember, both franchises were on the psp and they both didn' t look that great but still played the same as the console versions

    @ralphcoronado15482 years ago Bandai namco has its pride posed against atlus and nintendo. Its all business as usual. Bamco wants to become the standard rpg developer for playstation, x and graphic-wise, arise and scarlet nexus arethis would somehow apply a huge deallocation of resources if bamco wants to port it on switch. Theyre not lazy. Japanese developers just doesnt want to sweat time in making it especially if their games are doing well in terms of sales on thosenexus was actually a success but its early sales in japan is a bit low but it isnt dropping or decreasing as it probably did a lot better in the west than it has in japan (due to increasing popularity in gachas and mobile gaming) but as of now, well never know how the sales is going at this time around. ...Expand
