My body is ready for DB FighterZ for Switch!
Good to hear. 30k FW?

I wonder if the fact that XV2 was effectively PS4-only helped this Switch version in Japan; versus One Piece which was on every other platform under the sun including two handhelds.
Great news. Curious to see how it does worldwide.
I didn't expect this at all.
One Piece was also a poorly received game.
01./00. [NSW] Monster Hunter Double Cross: Nintendo Switch Ver. # <ACT> (Capcom) {2017.08.25} (¥5.800) - 84.277 / NEW <48,95%> [Units shipped => 172.170]
The twitt says >200k in Japan, so digital sales over 28k.
Huh, I guess Bamco played it safe. Still a good sign, though.
Yeah, it definitely played a role. A late port of a late port of a 3DS game vs port of a PS4 game released last year.
Someone in the other thread suggested that they may have shipped a second batch, but on second thought that probably doesn't make any sense with a 50% FW sell-through, right?
So, the game has sold almost 140k after last week in Japan, which is not that bad I think.

Good thing it's still September. Nintendo's 2nd quarter results are going to be much more interesting compared to last quarter with all the shortages.
Yeah, I noticed that, but this restock does seem tiny, since the units ended up at 183, 326, 293 and 279 in the daily ranking as of this post.

Amazon at least sold out so there probably has been some more shipped to some places
That seems really high for digital sales. I think its more likely its seen some additional shipments at some retailers.
It kinda does, but in its defence, the digital download code did seem to rank very high on amazon, so maybe there is truth to this.
I really hope so
they somehow hinted at it and it runs on UE4 so, with various downgrades, should be doable.
It might be. But Dengeki also estimated ~170k first shipment. If there was a second shipment on some stores it was really small. No way big restocks happened with only half of the shipment sold.
RE still has to hit the market
it will probably sell double of what RE Revelations HD just did on PS4 but Switch owners will still be force to look for another late HD port just for fun by Capcom

Late September restock is pretty far off. Seems like potential lost sales if they can't restock faster than that.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I'm thinking xenoverse 2 will surprise people on a global scale and besides Metroid on theb3DS there's nothing huge coming out this month for switch and XV2 is a pretty current game all things considered
Pokken Tournament DX?
And FE Warriors
They aren't huge but those are decent sized releases. Certainly should be bigger than Xenoverse 2.

Forgot about that but I don't know its potential sales
That is coming out late September in Japan but its October at least here in America

Still waiting for the first Switch bomba.
What a great movement Nintendo got going. The install base is still small but very active.

I wont mind all RE games coming to Switch. And Dragons Dogma too!!
So, if they went out of stock in two days, does that mean that they sold as much the second day as the first ? How to explain that sell-through ratio otherwise ?
Could be that there wasn't much stock to begin with.

Some stores were sold out (including Amazon). Capcom definitely shipped extra copies.
Well, this week. Yoru no Nai is kinda bomba there lol.^^

Whatever game people don't really want to play/buy. Tests are never done with games that are good. If it's Megaman it'll be the worst Megaman game ever made, released at triple the price of the last time it was sold.
And the other rule is there's no end to the tests. Every test passed is just grounds for a new, harder test, until the test is failed miserably and the platform can be deemed unprofitable for any significant investment, so newer or good games are skipped and not released for it that could otherwise sell well.
It's not really a Switch specific flop when it drastically underperformed on every plattform, though.

Street Fighter V is my guess, judging from USF2's success and the fact Capcom was able to impressively port IV to 3DS (and sold over 1 million units).
It's a Playstation 4 console exclusive but it was still published by Capcom at the end of the day, and it wouldn't be the first time a Capcom-published game originally exclusive to one console found its way to another.
Likely won't be the next NEXT "test" but I'm betting it will happen in 2018/2019.

Wow I can't believe it. I never expected this to do good. Then you had USFII sell well. It's like the days of Super Nintendo.
Mega Man Classic Collection 2, Disney Collection, Okami HD (this one hasn't been announced yet, they could at least try to go for a simultaneous release). And of course, the Resident Evil remakes already available on other platforms.
Oh, and Resident Evil 4. Let's not forget Resident friggin' Evil 4, he he. THE game will port on pretty much any platform for all eternity.
Hope y'all looking forward to Resident Evil 4 Ultra HD Ultimate Deluxe Definitive Master Gold Edition on PlayStation 12.
E.X. Troopers, obviously.
You would think releasing a Mega Man Legacy Collection Vol 1+2 cartridge would be a no brainer for Capcom to make money, but here we are.

I'd be all for an EX Troopers port as long as they actually localize it.

That wouldn't be a test if it was localized this time though...

E.X. Troopers would be amazing.
