Capcom COO’s Switch comments fully clarified and translated
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 28 Comments
Japanese publication Toyo Keizai recently spoke with Capcom COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto. Switch was one topic that came up during the discussion, and it’s actually something that we already covered a couple of days ago.
Since there has been some confusion about what was actually said, we decided to translate Tsujimoto’s full comments. Our understanding is he does not actually state explicitly that Ultra Street Fighter II will directly influence Capcom’s support for Switch, including how it sells.
In any case, on with the translation:

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 11 Comments
This week’s ARMS Global Testpunch has come to a close. However, it will be returning next week with another round of sessions. When it does come back, it’ll be bringing in something new.
During an ARMS Global Testpunch stream promoted by Nintendo, it was confirmed that Hoops will be replacing V-Ball. That does actually make sense. Hoops was specifically referenced in the demo’s eShop listing, so players were wondering why it wasn’t available this weekend. Now we have the answer.

Research and Destroy dev wants to put the game on Switch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 1 Comment
Many indie games were playable at BitSummit in Japan last weekend. Among them was Research and Destroy, a real-time strategy game from Implausible Industries.
Site contributor iYakku asked the team about a Switch version while the game was being displayed. It’s running on Unreal Engine 4, meaning they can bring it to any console they want so long as their publisher allows for it. The game is only running on PC at the moment, but the developers at Implausible Industries have console experience, so that’s their target – including Switch.
You can get a feel for Research and Destroy with the gameplay video below. We’re told that it’s inspired by titles such as XCOM and Valkyria Chronicles.
Rumor: Nintendo increasing Switch production, targeting 18 million units by March 2018
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 80 Comments
A new report from Financial Times claims that Nintendo is increasing production of Switch. The outlet’s report is based on information obtained from “people close to the company”. With demand not being met and consumers becoming frustrated, production is apparently seeing a boost.
Financial Times says Nintendo “is now targeting Switch hardware production of 18m units for the 12 months ending March 2018.” Nintendo previously set a forecast of ten million units for the current financial year.
For its part, Nintendo is denying an increase of Switch’s production “to that level”. Since its forecast has already been determined, it would be unlikely for the company to come out any say anything official to Financial Times.
