Bandai Namco Announces Three Future Exclusives For Nintendo Switch

bandai-namco.jpg


So far, Bandai Namco has released three games on the Nintendo Switch console: Namco Museum, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, and One Piece Unlimited World. It's been no secret that developers have been impressed with the Switch's success, including Capcom, who labeled Ultra Street Fighter II on Nintendo Switch a "smash hit." Following suit, Bandai Namco heaped their own praise for Nintendo's hybrid system during a recent financial results briefing.

As translated by the Wall Street Journal, here's what President Mitsuaki Taguchi had to say:
"We have put 3 games on the Switch so far and all of them are doing well. It’s a shame, but we didn’t think the Switch [would] be accepted this fast."

Taguchi went on to announce that Bandai Namco would be developing three new Switch exclusive titles to be revealed in Spring and Summer of 2018. No further details were given, but Switch owners should be excited to hear of growing third party support for the console.

I still like them, but the series seems to be stagnating a bit as each release becomes easier and more casualized.
Is there not a hard mode? Or are you just playing it the easy way? :P

I mean difficulty for a game is kinda a opinion subject so I understand, but if the game is too easy and a player wants a challenge, then just make one up. That usually what anyone does. :ninja:

Do you realize...with Switch...we could praise the sun in-game while praising the sun IRL? Mind = blown.

Do you realize... if i get to praise the sun on switch, it could be the longest time in my life without seeing the IRL sun? Just saying...

Tales of Destiny / Rebirth and a Tales of theathrhythm.
A Tales game looks inevitable for the Switch. It's the perfect RPG machine. However, Theatrhythm is a Square Enix game so there'd have to be some kind of crossover and I'm not sure that the Tales series music is all that memorable or nostalgia inducing enough to fuel that kind of collaboration.

"The executive went on to state that EA is looking to fully understand what the demand is widely for the Switch before it considers bringing more games to it."

Well, the demand clearly isn´t for sport games :rolleyes:
or games that are of poor quality. Having a massive download that is required even for the cartridge version is a very slimey move that adds a barrier to entry for people who did not buy a sd card.

plus I think EA games only have one thing going for them and that's graphics, and they marketed the hell out of that so much their target customers believe that console performance matters.

Sounds like we can expect Smash Switch's reveal in the spring or summer next year. (I think it's a given that one of their 3 exclusives is the next Smash)

sd cards can take 2tb nowadays... and the switch was reported to support the new tech before system launch so I wouldn't be suprised if a game for the switch was bigger than 60 gigs...

I love how most idiots are dissing Capcom for the street fighter II thing. Yall need to realize to most fighting game players. That is the game of choice. And then to have it with internet and mobile. Super bonus. Yall can hate on it cuz its an old game. But its still the best fighting game ever created. I got it and most of my friends got it for those reasons.

"Oh my god its not a game with 40000 gb download that has only 3 hrs of gameplay but MULTIPLAYER OF THE SAME SHIT"

"complains about street fighter II."

Go hug your mom and ask for a diaper change.

I don't even care. Thats how it is. Go ask for a diaper change.
I'm pretty sure the competitive scene is moving towards Streer Fighter III if that hasn't happened yet (I heard it was happening a while ago). And Ultra SF II is really nothing new. It just has Evil Ryu and Akuma who are probably just Ryu clones anyway.

There are probably quite a few people who would disagree about SF II being the best fighter ever made. I'll agree it's popular and sold well (due to being on SNES, Genesis, some of the older PCs of that time, and being ported to other later systems as well) and that it's good but calling it the greatest is kind of a stretch. A lot of people prefer Tekken as well, some people like DOA, and some people like KoF.

Kind of ironic bitching childishly about people not wanting another port of SF II and then telling them to have their diapers changed.

You know, it just occured to me. I know it said that the games was exclusive to nintendo switch but I mean I was just thinking it could be a port of a tales game. (Maybe even a new one) I wouldn't mind a either tales of symphonia Chronicles HD port or the two tales of Xillia Collection port, or even some mobile games like the one on VITA or NDS port. Maybe then you can have nintendo costumes like they did with bayonetta. :)

Still I hope is good games, I have a feeling it could be shin megami tenshi game which I don't play, but I think RPG games for switch is a good start for the games on the system. I wish capcom did Breath of Fire HD or bring back mega man battle network. :ninja:
If they were to port a Vita one then it would probably be Tales of Hearts R but if they do they better fix the translation. It's very awkward because they didn't really pay attention to how things sound in the actual dialogue so the game is filled with awkward sounding lines.

If I had to guess which they would port though it would probably be Tales of the Abyss because that seems to be considered the best one by many, but there is a lot of demand for Symphonia too.
