That's just preorders too. People will buy it in store. This is going to do more than 1 to 1 in Japan.

Destiny.

>b-but it's not PS4 exclusive
it may as well be PS4 exclusive because it has exclusive content and the majority of Destiny players are on PS4.

>>382585085
I'm not surprised in the slightest.
The Switch has literally NOGAEMS to play.
Switchfags are starving to death and desperate as fuck.
They buy 7 year old PC indie ports for $49, that's how game starved they are.

>>382587127
>no matter how many times Nintendo updated it.
They didn't though. All the added content was on the disc (and several of the unreleased maps were used as singleplayer levels, such as kelp dome)

>>382587127
died*
The game is extremely shallow. If you play it for 5 maybe 10 minutes, you have already seen everything the game has to offer gameplay wise.
It's not a "Easy to learn hard to master"-nintendo game. It's just Easy overall and again, shallow to the point that it feels insulting to play.

Longevity. It will die within 6 months, tops. The playerbase will shrink to 20% after just one month. Why? Because, again, there is no room for improvement due to the low skill ceiling. A low skill ceiling means low satisfaction and in turn, Less fun.

So sales count now?

>NCL is purposely holding back Switch units for key releases in 2017, at least in Japan
>My source has estimated that “15% of every new batch received is stockpiled to coincide with release for key titles”
>One of these key titles was directly referenced as Splatoon 2, the other simply referred to as “Mario”, which could be either Super Mario Odyssey or Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
>My source referenced that until the Switch component crisis is over, this stockpiling will continue, possibly well in to next year
>Fire Emblem Warriors considered a “filler” release for the platform, my source opined that “[he] would be surprised to find that significant hardware stock would be released for the title”

>>382585085
This guy is misunderstanding how Comgnet points work. They're a single retailer with less than a dozen locations; they obviously do not have 800k preorders.

Comgnet points are used to roughly guess opening week sales. The ratio people have come up with is that one comg point corresponds to about 1000 sales. Thus we're guessing Spla2n could sell 800k opening week.

However, keep in mind that it's just a rough estimate. In this case, the number could be inflated because IIRC comgnet was the only place that had spla2n preorders available early on, causing everyone who wanted to preorder the game to do so from comgnet. For example, on comgnet, Spla2n has about as many preorder points as both versions of DQXI combined. But on the Rakuten Books preorder chart, Spla2n is actually #3, behind both versions of DQ.

Spla2n is going to be massive in Japan, but I'm not quite sure it will sell 800k on an install base of slightly over a million. That would be pretty insane.

The theory among journalists is that they develop handheld mode to work stably first then work on the docked version, which kinda makes sense given BotW's patch at 3 weeks and how Arms/Splatoon received resolution bumps closer to release.

Pretty sure Digital Foundry mentioned it was full 1080p at all times, but the framerate drops to 30fps during 4 player

>>382588642
Fanart hasn't slowed down at all, the Twintelle art probably has, though. And all the people that care about ARMS have moved to /vg/ or elsewhere, because every ARMS thread on /v/ turns into a shitflinging contest for some reason.

>>382588919
I explained it in my original post. They represent comgnet preorders, but they don't represent a THOUSAND preorders. The 1-to-1000 ratio has always only been used for spitball predictions of week 1 sales.

Switch is still very scarce in Japan, and pretty much every unit shipped gets sold that week.

No, I mean we have no idea how many actual preorders there are (although it's definitely well below 800k), and the game could sell 800k units week 1 if the comgnet ratio holds true. Although there are complicating factors as I explained in my original post.

>>382590382

bloodborne wasn't bundled with ps4 and it hardly got any marketing to normies.

meanwhile splatoon was bundled with every wii u during the quarter it was released in NA/EU, just like wii sports was for wii and they counted each wii sold as a game sold.

I haven't seen anyone saying it's going to get a tickrate boost, splat1 was 25Hz, the splat2 testfire was only 12.5Hz.

>>382591110

Almost universally pre-release switch games seem to be running in one flat mode, not switching when docked, so yeah at least internally Nintendo are working on Handheld mode first and then upgrading docked once they're stable

yea
but I'd still bet money on it considering they would drop a lower es build all willy nilly when the final game has better graphics
also the 12.5 hz on testfire was never actually confirmed, just one literal who "source" but who knows
regardless it seams pretty obvious the game will undoubtedly have a better tick rate then overwatch

It was literally profitable for Nintendo to stage a virtual concert where Nip NEETs went and watched projections of Callie and Marie dance.

The hype is real, at least insofar that Japan will carry enough sales to make a game like Splatoon worth making.

>>382587901

They also did one of the concerts in France.

Generally I think the whole holographic concert thing is bigger in Japan. Splatoon is still very popular in the West, though.

>>382592980
Sold well enough in Murrica to justify its existence. Barely outsold the overall Japan sales, but of course relative to populations not as popular.

Yurop it pulled slightly less, which by raw numbers total is not that impressive but overall means it did quite well for a Wii U game in Europe.

Overall, a comparatively lower budget game like Splatoon (with a higher profit margin as a first party) did more than well enough for a new IP on a system that sold pretty low numbers) did plenty well enough.

The Splatfest events, where players had a choice of selecting to fight for one of the sides supported by Callie or Marie (like Hotdog vs Pizza or Pokemon Red vs Blue), has played into the narrative of Splatoon 2.

In the final Splatfest, Callie vs Marie, Marie won and Callie seems to have vanished as the idol duo have split apart.

It will be interesting to see if they will reunite at the end of the story mode of Splatoon 2.

Kinda neat how the Inkling language is Latin-esuqe. Always appreciated that.

Holy shit, this guy is fucking idiot who doesn't know how COMGNET works.

This game has 758 (not thousand) preorders at comgnet (entire chain). It's higher on COMGNET than anywhere else because they broke preorder date and let people preorder before it was even available.

This game will do well, but the man is an idiot.

>As you pointed out, while we don't have Miiverse on the Nintendo Switch, we have made sure to allow players in the same way to post artwork on the ground and walls, or messages to other players. So I think players will be able to continue communicating in an indirect fashion and seeing what players from around the Splatoon 2 community are thinking.

I'm actually surprised that Nintendo went for 21st century urban look instead of the traditional japanese look.
