As is FFVII:R. "Timed Exclusivity" is just a broad term people throw on. We have no idea just how the exclusivity is working with that game. I don't ever see it going on Xbox and it can't run on this system. It's going to be PS4/PC only. Or more likely going to be moved to PS5 cause it's never coming out.
However, FFXV and KH3 are fair game.
No offense, man, but you should really educate yourself.
Most of us do keep our expectations in check. At this point, all we can do is take the wait and see approach.
Eeeeh, it's far from being a looker. It's not coming solely because Sony securised the exclusivity.
FFXV isn't an UE4 game and I doubt Square want to deal with it ever again.
on that note however, there is no point in being overly negative. There will be tons of Japanese devs that support switch along with the other consoles, or even exclusively based on the handheld aspect, and many of them will infact use UE4

Damn. That's the kind of news I like to hear.
I love how Square Enix is ready to support Switch.

Next Level isn't in Japan, though, so this wouldn't count against the 20+ total. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming. Man, I REALLY hope they bring over Kingdom Hearts 3.

NO SHAME
I would think Xenoblade 2 is using a similar engine to X but Unreal Engine 4 doesn't sound crazy.
Switch's uses same Unreal Engine 4 as PS4 or Xbone but just in lower visual settings.
It doesn't use mobile Unreal Engine 4 like your phone
For some reason I thought the VIIR remake was in UE4 but it seems I was mistaken there hasn't been an engine announced for it.
i'd like the game to come out within my lifetime so I don't want any more holdups, sorry.
Agreed 100%

I don't know what you're talking about. FFVII:R is definitely a looker man. And you've seen barely concepts and teasers of mockup gameplay. You can't even say that yet since the game isn't even close to being finished yet. Graphically is the first one why it's never coming to Switch. The second reason and more major reason is because Sony has exclusivity on it.

Kingdom Hearts 3 on Switch would be really weird considering Nintendo didn't get any of the other "main" games.
For instance, if I wanted to pick up Kingdom Hearts 3 on my Switch there's absolutely no way I'd know what the hell is going on without diving into Wikipedia.
Hopefully they release the compilations as well if they decide to do so.

Ah sorry I was talking about Shenmue 3. Yeah FF7R looks good.
My guesses:
Senran Kagura
Dynasty Warriors 9
Monster Hunter 5
Story of Seasons
Etrian Odyssey 6
Etrian Mystery Dungeon 3
Bravely 3
Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 4
Ace Attorney 7
Inazuma Eleven Ares
I know none of these games would not require an engine as advanced as UE4, but I can't think of any other Japanese games that are possibly in dev right now.

I think FFVII: R is timed on consoles. If I remember correctly, the first information we got was it was going to be on the PS4 first. Which leaves open the possibility it'll show up on other consoles.

Ah! Sorry completely misread ya. Yeah dude then I agree 100%. Shenmue 3 isn't pushing anything yet. Nothing I've seen impressed me. Really hope that changes cause I'm looking forward to it.
Does Konami use UE4? What engine is Powerful Pro 16 on? (I assume '18 would use the same engine.)
I can dream that UE4 will let them launch Pro Yakyuu Spirits 18. That game + Switch would be divine.
Namco's been playing around with Famista reboots, maybe they'll move off 3DS and go head-to-head with Konami soon. Long way to go though, the 3DS Famista games are nowhere close to PP.

Well I mean we had two concerns about it. Did it sell well post launch (being out of stock could have been because of low shipments)? Is 3rd party support coming? This news is only a placeholder for titles that will be announced, but that's a positive sign. That's on top of the 100% Zelda attach rate news, the Lego City Undercover good port, confirming Switch is noticeably more powerful than Wii U with its 1080p upgrade and some next gen graphical features added, the positive analyst forecast, all these leading to Nintendo stock climbing. The Tumbleseed release date was also confirmed for May, 2nd. I'd take days like that every week.

well might as well use the image I compiled on Japanese games using UE4 here.
Think most were already mentioned here except Let it Die and Rez:Infinite Area X which are already out and the new Naruto game coming out.
So much colour, love it!

Oh, so did we get confirmation that the Valhalla/Soliel Naruto game is Unreal Engine 4?

It wouldn't count as a Japanese game, presumably, but Next Level Games appeared to be hiring for a UE4 project last year.
And I believe Nirolak suggested this in a previous thread, but if Nintendo is using UE4 for any internally developed projects, FE Switch would be one of the more plausible candidates, as there's no existing HD engine for the franchise for IS to build on.

We don't know anything about the exclusivity deal except that it's Sony's for the foreseeable future. The most likely scenario is that it's PS4/PC only. Regardless Sony has full exclusivity until all parts are out on PS4 which''ll take a decade at this rate so you should just forget about that one.
KH3 is fair game since it's already on Xbox but it'lk have to be severely downgraded and I don't see SE bothering to do that.
Oh shit, you're right at the bolded. A good amount of confirmations for 2017 and beyond I would bet too.

Lol I meant FFXIV and KH3. Threw in FFXV unintentionally since I mentioned it prior.

Naruto Strikers is using UE4!?

What's the NO YES game?
They don't have to be severely downgraded. Sheesh. But the main issue with FFXV is the engine and we don't know how well it scales or what the underlying code is like. KH3 could run on the system and look great.

lol, does this include that idol manager VR game with the incredibly creepy faces (oh god why do I know this oh god)
Let it Die
There was UE4 mark at the end of the trailer so I assume it uses it?

You really underestimate KH3, don't you? If you play 0.2 on PS4 Pro you'll understand what I'm saying is true. Just because the games use a Pixaresque cartoon style doesn't mean they're not graphically extensive. The particle effects are taken straight from FFXV and the games use realistic lighting, plus etc.
The game on PS4 Pro is stunning and that's essentially an "early Alpha" to KH3. So the full game is going to look even better. So unless they severely downgrade the game it's not coming to the Switch.
Idk. I just don't see it happening.
Ah I see. That wasn't there in the EU one. Thanks.
It makes sense though. Devil's Third was UE3.
No.
Always said KH3 was going to hit Switch - many posters got really offended by even suggesting the possibility lol.
Open World titles ala DQ XI/Xenoblade 2 are possible but a downgraded KH3 is impossible ? Doesnt really add up in my book - but we will see.

I don't know much about that one.
Again, it doesn't have to be severely downgraded. Just look at the most recent ports of games on the three systems. The PRO obviously is gonna have more bells and whistles, but the NS version can and would look great still. You're really understating what the system can do. But it doesn't matter, if Square Enix wants to port the game...they will. I think they will, honestly.

Back on topic,
I'd like to see Persona 5 on this. That's not pushing any graphical capabilities and I understand Sony has exclusivity on the mainline Persona's, but damn do I wish I could play Persona 5 on the game. I love it so much but taking it on the go and playing it anywhere I want, that would be amazing.
Another one I'd like on the go is Dark Souls. Dark Souls would be a party taking it everywhere. Dying everywhere.
That's about all I can think of right now. Everything else I'm fine with playing on PS4 since they look and run better. But I think these two can run on the system and still look good.

Did I see a post just like this a few days ago? That one was shot down fast too.
