Koji Igarashi has that sales for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night exceeded his expectations for the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch. In a recent interview with Famitsu, Ig﷽arashi was speaking about the overall perfor﷽mance of the game and which platform saw the most sales, in which the Switch decisively came out on top.
Igarashi described how this came as a surprise, because, “The game launched one week later on Switch than on other consoles, and I figured fans wouldn’t be able to wait the extra week for the Switch version, so that was unexpected.” This should come as a surprise to most people, because when it first launched on the Switch, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night had some major issues compared to othe😼r platfo💃rms.
When the Switch version launched, players were quick to point out the vast visual differences between that platform and both the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. The differences were like night and day, with comments ofte𒁃n repeating that the Switch version looked like an early beta rather than a polished finish seen on platforms released a week earlier.
In addition to the visu🎃al difference, the Switch version had a 30 FPS cap, but struggled significantly🏅 in several areas, making performance and combat inconsistent when it mattered most. Given how poorly the game launched on the Switch, it is quite surprising to see that sales were so strong there relative to other platforms.
One reason for the strong support on that platform might have to do with the passion shown by Igarashi prior to and after the release of the game. Once th🔴ese concerns were made known, the game’s main Twitter account posted a message vowing to correct the issues faced by Switch users to create an experience that is comparable regardless of platform. Once patch 1.01 released, many problems were corrected, and since then the game has reached a high level of quality that is nearly indistinguishable from other platforms.
Another reason for the strong sales on the Switch might be attributed to the fan base of players who follow Igarashi’s work from his days working on Castlevania titles in the past, many of which were played on Nintendo handheld consoles. If anything, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was a spi🎃ritual successor to Igarashi’s previous work, and that would make t𒈔he Switch the best platform to play on to recreate the experiences of the past.
