That's ridiculous considering Nier: Automata.Square don't do late ports, unless it's requested. This might remain Xbox/PS.
As I said, they do ports if requested. Nintendo requested DQ11, I'm guessing Platinum did Nier.That's ridiculous considering Nier: Automata.
Legend and Adventures of Mana remakes skipped Switch.Mana isn't going to skip Nintendo systems
Here’s a sight for sore eyes if you’re Mana fan - we’re excited to announce an entirely new entry in the series coming in 2024: Visions of Mana!
This beautiful new game is the first mainline instalment in the Mana series in over 15 years and returns to its action-RPG roots for an expansive, vibrant adventure across a semi-open field.
You can get a look at what to expect in the new trailer or read on and we’ll tell you all about this exciting and vibrant new adventure!
What is Visions of Mana?
You take the role of Val - a curious and carefree young man who lives in the Fire Village of Tianeea.
Once every four years, the Faerie visits regions of the world to choose alms - people who are fated to travel to the Tree of Mana, which presides over the world’s vital flow of mana. Val invites his childhood friend to a festival to welcome the visitor, but as the night falls, the sky lights up with sparkling lights and the Faerie chooses her as the alm.
With the blessings of his village, Val sets out on a journey to accompany his friend to the Tree of Mana as her soul guard.

Adventures is a phone game. And Legend of mana is on switchLegend and Adventures of Mana remakes skipped Switch.
Sorry, Secret of Mana remake. Released for Vita and PS4.Adventures is a phone game. And Legend of mana is on switch
Only guesses.As I said, they do ports if requested. Nintendo requested DQ11, I'm guessing Platinum did Nier.
I think Secret skipped Switch since it had just previously been released as part of the Mana Collection, which was Switch exclusive.Sorry, Secret of Mana remake. Released for Vita and PS4.
Ishii is involved in some supervisory role.Square don't do late ports, unless it's requested. This might remain Xbox/PS.
I hope the devs are Grezzo and Koichi Ishii returns home. Enough Zelda for him.
Yeah, Switch dying long before the successor is out while PS4 gets to live 4 years after its successor launched just doesn't feel fair. And it's the only handheld console out there.Feels weird to see PS4 and no Switch in 2024
TGA has always been dire for Switch games even when the system was in it's prime.Yeah, Switch dying long before the successor is out while PS4 gets to live 4 years after its successor launched just doesn't feel fair. And it's the only handheld console out there.
Not really when you consider software situation on PS5 in Japan. But yeah this doesn't look like something you'd even want to port to Switch. Just wait for the Switch 2.Feels weird to see PS4 and no Switch in 2024
since this is SE, I definitely don't think Switch is in the cards. they're usually the first to know and develop for NIntendoI'll believe this isn't coming to a Nintendo system when it doesn't get a trailer in the February Direct
it's coming to Seriesam I crazy or was the title missing Xbox
it's probably coming to drake given how nintendo partnered with them in the pastthis game should be able to run on Switch good luck with the sales SE ig
If they partnered with Nintendo on this Nintendo definitely would have wanted it on Switch. They'd rather have something like FF7 remakes of FF16 for the successor instead.it's probably coming to drake given how nintendo partnered with them in the past
I think SE is expecting more out of this game, especially going by the visuals. it's a massive step up over Trials of Mana, so SE probably wants to target a Nintendo platform but not spend extra money shaving it down. luckily Drake is right there and Nintendo gets a next-gen exclusive to help sell the platformIf they partnered with Nintendo on this Nintendo definitely would have wanted it on Switch.

I'd love to be wrong but I don't think this is coming to successor exclusively, it really doesn't make any sense.
I don't think "extra money" would be that much for a game like this and Nintendo would have loved to provide that, as they did many times before. 2024 is still pretty empty in terms of Switch releases and Nintendo is in "we'll take whatever we get" mood right now.I think SE is expecting more out of this game, especially going by the visuals. it's a massive step up over Trials of Mana, so SE probably wants to target a Nintendo platform but not spend extra money shaving it down. luckily Drake is right there and Nintendo gets a next-gen exclusive to help sell the platform
That's why I said "a Nintendo system". This has a strong chance of being their first title announced for the next platform much like Octopath Traveler was with Switch.since this is SE, I definitely don't think Switch is in the cards. they're usually the first to know and develop for NIntendo
nintendo pays for marketing support and distribution rather than development costs. and given how this looks, it would take a bit of work if the game was never scoped for switch in teh first place.I don't think "extra money" would be that much for a game like this and Nintendo would have loved to provide that, as they did many times before. 2024 is still pretty empty in terms of Switch releases and Nintendo is in "we'll take whatever we get" mood right now.
Also way too many games get "probably coming to Switch 2 instead" comments. I really doubt the successor will have such explosive launch with gajillion games. We didn't have such launch for 3DS, we didn't for Switch either. I feel the successor launch is gonna disappoint a lot of people.
I'm sorry, but I have to call BS on this statement; Nintendo has always championed the lesser known franchises like SMT, SaGa, and Mana. Rather then making such definitive statements maybe it'll be better to wait and see what Nintendo does when they announce the Switch's successor.If they partnered with Nintendo on this Nintendo definitely would have wanted it on Switch. They'd rather have something like FF7 remakes of FF16 for the successor instead.

They literally released Secret of Mana remake for Vita and PS4 but not Switch. Everyone was so sure that a Switch version would arrive later but that didn't happened. It's totally in the realm of possibilities for this game to skip the successor.Mana has traditionally favored Nintendo, and I don't see that changing
This is still a PS4 game, which at this point is strictly a concession to the Japanese market since the rest of the world has already transitioned to PS5. This being a PS4 game also means that there should be no technical difficulties that would prevent this game from releasing on the next Switch. The inclusion of Xbox platforms also indicates that SE is willing to put this game on every console that can support it.They literally released Secret of Mana remake for Vita and PS4 but not Switch.

two lukewarmly received remakes that came before everything else isn't going to be a good measure of support. Switch got a collection of the first three games, the previously PS1-only Legend of Mana, and the remake of Trials of Mana since. that's more tellingThey literally released Secret of Mana remake for Vita and PS4 but not Switch.
