※本作の解像度は、TVモードで1920x1080、テーブルモード／携帯モードで1280x720です。また、フレームレートは30fpsです。

1080P docked
720P handheld
30fps

Sounds amazing for handheld play actually, hope it can maintain it through out the game. Don't do an Age of Calamity to me lol.

Native on the Switch. May have to bump up my urgency, because that sounds pretty incredible.

 

[Banjo64]

Wasn’t expecting Nier.

 

[SSfox]

Sony losing all their exclusives meanwhile Bayonetta 2 (2014) still locked to Nintendo consoles to this day

Jimbo and Hermen are sleeping heavy on this, but it will catch them in the long run

 

[OuterLimits]

thank goodness we'll not have any more port begging for P5 on Switch

True. We will also no longer hear the ridiculous "Switch might get P3, and P4, but P5 may be too beastly for the system" (It's a PlayStation 3 game).

I have Royal on PS4 but only played 20% or so. Will be tempted to buy on Switch for the portable aspect.

 

[Quezacolt]

it might comfort some people to have a physical copy of a game but when servers go down people those who bought physically will end up with half assed broken games.

Im sorry, but this is BS. most games have the full game on disk and can be fully played without patches. Day one patches are usually for bugs that the devs find on the last weeks before release, but the games can be fully played from start to finish, without any issues for most people.
The games from rockstar were always buggy, and even without day 1 patches people still enjoyed them.

 

[Serouj2000]

Fuck yeah. And is Nier an actual product or one of those shitty cloud versions square loves so much? Game barely ran on PS4.

Nier is native, and has physical version with reversible cover art

 

[Aldric]

Got reminded of this cool fanart from 2017 celebrating a great year for Japanese games, they're all on Switch now.

2b about to hit that 10 million sales from her 6.5 lots of spoony bards got the switch.

I'm thinking of rebuying due to costumes. I was wondering can I get still get them if I don't buy the game right away?

 

[Krathoon]

Where have you been? Persona 5 Royal is 80 years old.

It feels like that sometime. Damn things take so long to finish.

 

[Barakov]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nier/?f=flair_name:"NieR Automata"

This wil be the physical edition of the Switch release of NieR: Automata. With a reversible cover with A2.​

At long last, the international nightmare is finally over.

 

[Serouj2000]

That one article by Inverse about the direct though. Like, directs have been trailer after trailer after trailer with little in between for years now, and E3 2015 was an example of a direct that was like that, and if I'm not mistaken, people hated that one

Could I be the cream filling in that Oreo?

 

[anab0lic36]

This is why I own a switch lite. It is soo much more comfortable to hold. Form factor is better,it feels far more sturdy because there's no rails holding the controllers and it's much lighter too.

Yup, my OG switch has seen zero handheld use since I acquired the lite. A proper dpad is a huge plus too.

 

[anab0lic36]

ok and? what has that got to do with anything?

alright the Lite is more ergonomic but you can still play in handheld with the OG Switch.


urgh. i hope P4G gets a physical release too.

You can... but for many its an inferior experience.... which is the point you seem to be missing.

 

[Deerock71]

OLED > d-pad. I've had them both. OLED is at least twice as good due to reduced eye strain. Take it from someone that is 99% handheld Switch at this point.

 

[adamsapple]

Confirmed via Wario, Persona 5 Royal will get a physical release on the modern platforms too.

 

[Deerock71]

Ah, but it is the fact that the Switch has these AND Nintendo exclusives makes Steamdeck even MORE irrelevant. Enjoy your boutique, niche, outlet seeking portable. I had a Sega Game Gear. I can relate.

(I'm just seconding Harrison Ford's sentiments, here)

 

[Pallas]

So no physical version of the persons games? Might have to buy via play-asia if they do a physical release in Asia.

Yes physical for P5, no for P4 and 3.

 

[ULTROS!]

Congratulations to the incessant port beggars I guess.

Here’s hoping SMT becomes truly multiplatform now.

I'm planning on getting a Steamdeck due to it being tied to my Steam Account. I have a massive backlog and having it on the go would be great. No the specs aren't why I want to get it.

It just gets annoying when it's constant with these guys

 

[blacktout]

It's a critically acclaimed game and people wanted to be able to play it on their platform of choice. I'm not sure why there's so much bitterness about that.

Also, I think the GeForce leak contained a PC port of SMT V, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility of it going fully multiplatform. If nothing else, I bet we see it on Steam this November, since Nintendo usually only secures a year of exclusivity for these third party titles tops.

Yeah wouldn't be surprised either if SMT5 goes Multiplat. If it comes out on Steam I'm rebuying it

 

[Danjin44]

Now that NieR Automata made it to Switch…..

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Now that NieR Automata made it to Switch…..

Time for what?

 

[Danjin44]

Time for what?

NieR Automata event quest for Sunbreak.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

NieR Automata event quest for Sunbreak.

Not interested in Monster Hunter. Tried it before and hated it lol

It's time for a proper Breath of Fire 6

 

[Danjin44]

[ReBurn]

40 bucks for Nier on Switch is a bit pricey, imo.

 

[Vognerful]

How much?

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I only said that to trigger you. I do enjoy Monster Hunter Stories 2. Haven't finished it yet though

 

[Danjin44]

I only said that to trigger you.

Mission accomplished!

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Mission accomplished!

I'm just salty they dropped the Breath of Fire franchise as their premier JRPG franchise. It got replaced by Monster Hunter which makes me extra salty lol

 

[Danjin44]

t got replaced by Monster Hunter which makes me extra salty lol

 

[TheTony316]

Hope that ends the endless port begging and crying on twitter.

And for those who never played Personna, you're in for a good time.

For now. We'll back at square 1 when Persona 6 gets announced as a timed exclusive.

 

[TheTony316]

Nier looks better than i expected on Switch.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

For now. We'll back at square 1 when Persona 6 gets announced as a timed exclusive.

For Microsoft Xbox Consoles since by than Sega/Atlus will be bought by Microsoft

 

[Crayon]

The downgrade is apparent but it doesn't lose much. It's great this is getting ported.

 

[Ryu Kaiba]

Man, the existence of the Steam Deck has really deflated my excitement for these two coming to the Switch for me. Shit, every game that isn’t a Nintendo exclusive, really.

Lol Its true though. A year ago I would've had to go see a doctor for the unyielding erection I received from this announcement, but now I'm concerned about performance on Switch. Particularly of P5.
But those intro's would look so beautiful on the Switches OLED screen.

 

[Y0ssarian]

This wil be the physical edition of the Switch release of NieR: Automata.​

But will there be a physical of persona 3 4 5 for xbox

I still don't care

Especially since the OG P5 was on PS3

 

[darkangel-212559]

FUCK ME SENSELESS

This is literally amazing. Obviously I'm getting all of it on Switch.

Nier Automata really is a game for 60fps but how could I ever say no!?!

 

[Shifty1897]

If the Switch port runs at a near locked 30fps at 1080p docked I'll change my avatar to the Square Enix logo for a year.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

This is why I own a switch lite. It is soo much more comfortable to hold. Form factor is better,it feels far more sturdy because there's no rails holding the controllers and it's much lighter too.

I love my Lite as well but I dread the joycon drift. Has anyone experienced it?

How much?

39 bucks for Nier. Don’t know about the Persona games.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Tried getting into P5 earlier this year and just couldn't. The art style is obviously great but everything else just turned into such a slog. I'd honestly be more interested in just watching it as an anime rather than playing it. Good get for everyone else though.

The more interesting one imo is Nier. I assume part of the delay was getting this to run well, so we'll see if that work and time paid off.

 

[ruzuyu]

I highly doubt there's gonna be a stable 30FPS for NieR on Switch. The game was experiencing performance issues even on a PS4.

There is a Persona 5 anime.

It's a lot harder to keep a third party exclusive (Persona 5) than a first party exclusive (Bayonetta 2)

 

[Gambit2483]

I highly doubt there's gonna be a stable 30FPS for NieR on Switch. The game was experiencing performance issues even on a PS4.

I have a feeling of just the opposite and that they took time and effort to optimize it well based on what they (Platinum) already know about Switch hardware, especially after Astral Chain and Bayo 3 development.

I would be surprised if the game wasn't well optimized.
