>PlatinumGames may consider itself a partner for Nintendo Switch, but you won't see Nier Automata on the machine anytime soon.
>Offering a fresh blend of action and RPG gameplay styles, Nier Automata is the follow-up to the 2010 cult hit Nier, and combines the design talents of Drakengard designer Yoko Taro in collaboration with development team PlatinumGames. The game tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim a machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful weapons known as machine lifeforms.
>In a lighthearted interview with IGN Japan, the game director Yoko Taro said that although he is personally excited for the console's future, he knows it won’t be getting third-party support due to being “so underpowered.”
>Taro compared the Nintendo Switch to its home console predecessors, and their inability to sustain AAA third-party interest:
>"I was excited about it, because Nintendo's been in such a niche market recently like, you know, catering to the handheld [market] and - I'm going to be honest with you - the kids. They've been so underpowered that they don't have the support of the third parties, because they're all making for PC, Xbox One and PS4, and [Switch] is no different!"
>When asked if his game would be coming to the Switch, he replied, “No. Haha no! No, you're not going to be able to fit Nier Automata on the Nintendo Switch."
>In Taro’s opinion, this doesn’t mean the Switch is a bad console, it’s just intended for a different form of gaming.

To experience true kino, the exemplars of the art form, the two gold standards for interactive artistic entertainment, Bloodborne and Nier Automata, guess what?
You need a PS4.

how insecure do you have to be about your preference over a videogame console that you decide to go through the trouble of writing a fake IGN article? just imagine being this desperate
Thomas Myers
This. I was kind of embarrassed he thought that was a sensible thing to say when he's releasing Vita games and PS4 games with upscaled early-ps3 models.

Are you dumb? The game was made for vita and then it was too buggy they made an upgraded PS4 version.
Plus they don't make vita games anymore, they upgraded Tokyo Xanadu to PS4 and the new trails is a PS4/PC title

inb4 Sup Forums starts hating on Automata because it won't be on their child-friendly console
Joseph Wood
The old guy who runs digital foundry used to be the editor of the official Nintendo magazine in the UK, and he said in a DF vid a while back that their direction from Nintendo was always to target the kid market.
Nothing new from them
Aaron Bell
Everyone here seems to hate it anyway...redditor invasion and all that...
Austin Martin
Fix the pc version pls
Anthony Wilson
Yet the game will never ever run on your Leapfrog tablet.
Anthony Turner
I got Automata during the steam sale and refunded it. I see why people like it and I get that it's a Yoko Taro game and not a true Platinum game, but it just felt too slow. Regardless, check my 9.
Oliver Miller
Are Sony fanboys so desperate to attack the Switch they literally make up fake news?
Austin Mitchell
The article was just deleted because of the backlash.
Andrew Hill
Thanks for not being a faggot just because the game isn't to his tastes, you're alright.

How come its gonna be sony fanboys? The game is also out on pc, you know. It could very well be those pcfags.
Andrew Sullivan
I own a Switch, ps4 and a pc, why in the nigger fuck would I buy it on the Switch if there is a pc version, hell why would I buy it for any console when the pc version exist?
Luis Wright
Checked, my dude.

How does a 2017 game that looks like a ps2 game unable to run on a Nintendo switch?
Easton Morales
Post a screenshot of better looking game on the Wii U 2.0. Go on. I'll wait.
Nicholas Campbell
Holy fuck.
Even if it was true, I wonder what he thinks of the 5 people who bought his shitty game anyway.
Owen Carter
>trying to compromise Nintendo's condom size SO I SNAPCHAT THAT WHOLE SHIT
Elijah Rogers
You sound angry that the switch is for children.
Kevin Walker
Almost fell for it, still, this could have some truth into it. The devs working for this guy suck at optimizing their games and have been making garbage ever since the ps2 era. They could rerelease Drakengard 3 on "THE MOST POWERFUL CONSOLE IN EXISTENCE" and it would still play like shit.
Idk about Platinum and Automata, but I heard they still haven't fixed the PC version.
