Kotaku recently had an interesting chat with Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata. The talk was initially about the recent Final Fantasy game they teased for the Nintendo Switch and how porting it across to the new system was going. Tabata then proclaimed that he can’t find the lucrative console anywhere and has actively been searching for one.
“I want you to make the headline, ‘Tabata has not been able to purchase the Switch,’”
“I’ve already purchased all this software,” he said. “I have Zelda, Mario Kart, and Splatoon. I just haven’t been able to purchase the hardware.”
But wait a minute, I said. He’d just said that Nintendo gave him a call. Why not ask his contacts over there to hook him up?
“Because then I’d owe them, and I’ll have to support Nintendo,” Tabata said, laughing. “I want to have a neutral standing.”
Japan people…
You mean Japanese? lol
||Kneel before Nintendo…||
And i can’t find Final Fantasy XV for Nintendo switch…well..this is the life.. shit happens
Thought they did confirm that it will be coming to Switch at a later date, so really it’s coming.
Wasn’t it FFXV related stuff? Not the actual game?
As far as I know there hasn’t been any official confirmation and I’ve had my eyes peeled for that announcement. They just stated their interested in it.
Quick!
Lets send this poor man a Nintendo Swi- oh wait…. we can’t find any in the West either…. damn it!
Not in my country. In Poland we have some of the consoles. Nintendo is not as popular as Sony where I live. This is why we have some if the Switches avalaible.
I live in Missouri… plenty of switches here.
Overflowing with it in Norway. Even though it’s the 6th hottest item OF ALL here atm.
Nice.
Makes me believe the scarcity hype is kind of fake.
Very far from being hard to find in Germany, and other European countries as well, apparently.
Well, this should give him a hint of how popular the system is and it makes business sense to release the damn game for it. Either do it, or stop wasting our time!
I don’t get it. The Switch is region free. If it’s really so much harder to find one in Japan fucking import one.
Switzerland packed with available Switches in every store.
I’d rather have FF7 remake honestly… FFXV wasn’t very good.
Maybe someone should send him this, Translated in Japanese. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Switch-Hardware-with-Splatoon-2-Neon-Green-Neon-Pink-Joy-Cons-Nintendo-Switch/394092847?
