4 cartridge maybe? with each one with a file size of 18.4GB in a 32GB cartdridge.If FF7 Rebirth requires 2 discs on PS5, how many cartridges would a Switch case need to carry
4 I know that have a negative conotation on asian culture, that intereting they have another number with a negative conotation in asianHmm, interesting. 4 I know for sure is a homophone for death in both Mandarin and Japanese, and I've seen it mentioned plenty of times in pop culture. But 9 is not a homophone with something so negative in Mandarin, to my (admittedly very limited) knowledge at least. Checking with a Japanese dictionary... okay, fine, one of the readings of 9 is indeed ku/homophone with pain. Hmm, it's an on'yomi (for the thread readers: on'yomi is Sino-derived reading, while kun'yomi is native Japanese). I can see kyuu coming from jiu (Mandarin; sounds like alcohol, not pain to me), but I don't know what would be the base for the ku reading...
I dunno, I've only ever heard jiu for 9 in Mandarin.
I also find it odd that I've just never encountered this before in Japanese pop culture either.
Soul Hackers 2 didn’t come to switch for that very reason. It didn’t sell well enough on other platforms to invest in the port.THat would be a bad money move for Atlus to skip the Switch and the game seems to be running on the same engine as Persona 5 royal which runs real good on the Switch
In Korea, 4 is also a negative meaning.Hmm, interesting. 4 I know for sure is a homophone for death in both Mandarin and Japanese, and I've seen it mentioned plenty of times in pop culture.

Street Fighter 6 on Switch? the rumored timed exclusive Resident Evil?If there's any validity to the claim, my guess would be SFVI. Capcom has tended to have a SF game for Nintendo launches and the producers said they would be open to bringing it to Switch.
in recent Castlevania games, Death health is 4444 or 8888, because is the same sound of deathIn Korea, 4 is also a negative meaning.
4 means death.
So the elevator in the hospital marks 4 as F.
Well.It's a SEGA title, not Atlus, but I wouldn't be surprised if ReFantazio is released in the launch year of Switch 2, just as Sonic Forces was released in the launch year of Switch.
I don't see a new 3D Sonic game (Frontiers 2?) being released in 2024.
When I was shopping for a house a few years back, I noticed the Lot numbers didn't have 4. It was a single storey rowhouse in a group of four, and they are labeled as block #, Lot 1, 2, 3, 5. That said, I took 3 and 5 because the house is too small if you take only one unit.9 does indeed have a negative meaning in Asian culture, along with 4. It comes from 四苦八苦, meaning "the four and eight kinds of suffering" (4 comes from 死 meaning death). Sometimes buildings omit 4th and 9th floors for example
They more or less gave up on Soul Hackers 2 before launch. I’m not sure even if it did “well” that it would come to Switch. The game probably would have needed to be developed for the Switch to be on the Switch with how it was originally handled.Soul Hackers 2 didn’t come to switch for that very reason. It didn’t sell well enough on other platforms to invest in the port.
I know Atlus has made games in similar styles using both UE and Unity, so the issue isn’t the engine, so much as the asset authoring. This is showing some serious performance issues in the trailer, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything about the final product.
Likely : new Pikimin 4 short videoWelp, wonder if today they’re gonna announce their possible Direct for tomorrow. Or any announcement this week
And the game after that will be Mario Kart All-Stars Transformed.My guess is a non-numbered Mario Kart title, with focus on non-Mario characters too.
Mario Kart All-Stars
Apparently, it's skipping Switch and 8th gen, altogether.
Very weird. I was under the impression Prime 4 would come 12 months within Prime 1’s release. Unless Primes 2 & 3 come six months after Prime 1 (August) and they release Prime 4 on March of next year (possible Drake launch month).Isn't it weird to have listings for Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Remasters (although not confirmed to be legit yet), and not for Prime 4 which should also be coming to Switch?
Who has listings for Prime 2 and 3?Isn't it weird to have listings for Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Remasters (although not confirmed to be legit yet), and not for Prime 4 which should also be coming to Switch?
Yeah, I've always wondered how they'd handle this.Very weird. I was under the impression Prime 4 would come 12 months within Prime 1’s release. Unless Primes 2 & 3 come six months after Prime 1 (August) and they release Prime 4 on March of next year (possible Drake launch month).
Or they wanna release all Prime games before Switch 2 and then Prime 4 with the successor
depending on which retailer has hte listing, it could just be something placed just in case those games are announced rather than being an hint at something. Why Metroid Prime 4 isnt a part of that doesn't mean much either depending on which website you're talking about .Isn't it weird to have listings for Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Remasters (although not confirmed to be legit yet), and not for Prime 4 which should also be coming to Switch?
I believe that's a listing for Hellblade 1, which actually did come to Switch (unsure about physically though)For some reason (I guess the desire to have Persona 3 on Switch), the Nintendo community has recently given a lot of attention to Xtralife listings… As a buyer from them, they are a good store, but they will simply create listings from anything announced, just for the sake of traffic to their site, it doesn't mean it will have a retail listing in the end.
They, for example, did have a listing for Hellblade on Switch:

Resident Evil was bullshit. There's no exclusive RE game coming to Switch. As for SF6, the devs themselves said they're open to return to Nintendo consoles also.Street Fighter 6 on Switch? the rumored timed exclusive Resident Evil?
Xtralife creates listings for a lot of rumored things. Sometimes they're right, a lot of times they're wrong, but they're not a trusted source.Isn't it weird to have listings for Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Remasters (although not confirmed to be legit yet), and not for Prime 4 which should also be coming to Switch?
But not as a physical releaseHellblade did come to Switch
Will there be anything left for Nintendo to announce via a Direct, Mini, Partners’ Showcase or Indie?
30XX brings co-op action platforming to Switch on August 9, 2023
Fans of the slightly grittier Mega Man X spin-off series from Capcom have had a long wait since the last mainline entry, though the indie studio Batterystaplenintendowire.com
Good point.maybe just first party games
True. And Pokemon DLC is imminentTears of the Kingdom DLC \o\
Guess they need something like hardware to spice things upThe direct May actually be boring…. I fear this…
I think we'll see a Pokemon Presents this week, or just a Scarlet and Violet DLC trailer at the very least. Nintendo Direct for next week imo.Welp, wonder if today they’re gonna announce their possible Direct for tomorrow. Or any announcement this week
Just whyThe direct May actually be boring…. I fear this…
Likely : new Pikimin 4 short video
Possibly : MK8 DLC wave 5 and more information of Everybody 1.2 Switch
Anything other than above can be considered as surprise
Gives more credence for a July Direct, I guessMK8 Wave 5 won't be fully shown until July just like last year when Wave 2 was announced in July and released in August.
I think those games would stay on their respective tiers. However, I can see GameCube, Dreamcast, and DS games being exclusive to Switch 2.By the way, we know that Nintendo Switch Online will carry over into the next generation, right?
If so, i wonder if Nintendo is going to have some NSO content exclusive to the next system. I just have a hunch they could introduce highly anticipated games like Super Mario RPG and Mother 3 to NSO, but lock them behind their next system.
Thoughts?
DS why?I think those games would stay on their respective tiers. However, I can see GameCube, Dreamcast, and DS games being exclusive to Switch 2.
the same reason that themes will be: marketingDS why?
No particular reason other than it being marketed as a premium option.DS why?
Yeah, I can see the arrival of themes. But I think they’ll be minimalthe same reason that themes will be: marketing
Tuesday truthers were so real for this.No tweet at the usual time today? Is it common on Mondays?
Thats a good thing, meaning that new hardware really could be imminentThe direct May actually be boring…. I fear this…
e3 Directs were usually Tuesdays, but since this wouldn’t be an e3 Direct, and more like a June/Summer Direct, maybe it’ll be Wednesday, like they generally are. And are usually announced a day or two ahead.No tweet at the usual time today? Is it common on Mondays?
It's quite common all the time for them to go a day+ without tweeting. Yes.No tweet at the usual time today? Is it common on Mondays?
I need it to be the worst direct of all time, stock droppingly badThats a good thing, meaning that new hardware really could be imminent
You mean the June Digital Event on the future of Nintendo Switche3 Directs were usually Tuesdays, but since this wouldn’t be an e3 Direct, and more like a June/Summer Direct, maybe it’ll be Wednesday, like they generally are. And are usually announced a day or two ahead.
You mean the June Digital Event on the future of Nintendo Switch
Honestly can't remember the last time there was anything new, that wasn't for entertainment only.Damn, this thread really took off after the weekend over seemingly nothing.
I know nothing but the hope in my heart.
