Anyway, in terms of Arise, I'd assume NB are hoping for 2M or so. While the niche floor has risen, they're still niche games, and these kinds of Japanese games, even really large RPGs, usually sell under 1M. There are more exceptions nowadays but that's not the norm.
Do you have any recent examples of really large JRPGs not selling 1m ?
I'm thinking throughout history mostly, but I don't know how many really large RPGs we even get nowadays. Atelier Ryza isn't too big but it got a push into a popularity reserved for older RPGs that were relatively popular. I don't think the individual Atelier games have hit 1M, Ryza included, though. Most of what we've gotten lately are pretty AAA.
Did we ever actually get BD2 numbers? Did that sell over 1M?
I hope tales of arise sells well so they can make a switch port eventually
It's not particularly a system pushing game, we might see a downport in 2023. Namco loves late ports.

Yea, seems like it'd need a lot of compromise to get it on switch, but then again, I know nothing of porting games.
Beyond the intent to host one in September?
did I just miss it, or did no one make a Pokémon Diamond Shitpost & Pearl Abyss joke?
Do you know the lucky number?
this is what they mean when they talk about gaming being a boys club
It is indeed but that doesn't mean it can't be down ported. It is a traditional Tales game after all. I trust Engine, Namco's go-to Port studio.
I don't think that means anything at all. "Namco's in house studios don't want to bring their games to Switch" sounds like a silly conspiracy theory. According to Imran they did try to bring Tekken 7 to Switch but technical hurdles stopped that from happening. They'll continue to bring whatever they can. If they find a way to bring Arise to Switch, they'll do that. But it's gonna be a little late.The only BN Studios game that have come to Switch have been the ones they developed for Nintendo. Even Taiko was outsourced when it came to the Switch game.

Yep and I believe I will be awarded for it. Soon.
I mean, there aren't a lot of internally developed Namco games out there, just Code Vein, Tekken 7, Soul Calibur 6, Tales of Arise and Scarlet Nexus in the last 4 years. All targeted high end consoles and we know that they tried to bring Tekken 7 at some point.BN not porting their internally developed game to the Switch isn't a conspiracy theory, it's a fact.
Soon the handheld ghetto shall reign supremeLaptop/desktop+Switch is going to be the old and busted combo soon. Steamdeck+Switch will be the true combo.

Let's just assume the development of thpse games started before Switch is out and wait for future announcements regarding them. They definitely will have more Switch games in the future, I don't think Switch will be in a healthy state even Namco abadons it.
Mario Party 2 is a second party game.
menaces, how do we stop this thread?
It's not "they didn't port", it's "they couldn't". They at least tried. That's why I'm saying we should assume it's the older titles they had problems with. It's possible that they figured out how to port demanding games to Switch in that time. I do feel we'll get Arise and Nexus ports... in 2023.Don't forget Ace Combat 7.
The point was really that you got 6 major releases and none of them were ported. That's 6 data points versus zero. Of course they will have more Switch games in the future. Someone has to work on Pokken 2.
