National Bank Switch's current game lineup inventory, and future landing game analysis

On December 10, 2019, the Bank of China Nintendo Switch, which is represented by Tencent, was officially launched. For a long time after the launch, in addition to the "New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Edition" simultaneously launched at that time, No other game software login. It is now late September 2020, and one quarter will be the first anniversary of the Bank of China’s release, and "Fitness Ring Adventure" has become the latest game to land on Bank of China Switch. Taking this opportunity, today we will take a look at the current game lineup of the Bank of China e-store and the changes at the beginning of the release, and predict which game software will be launched on the Bank of China e-store in the future, if you also pay attention Bank of China Switch, the content of this issue should not be missed (the following games are sorted by Bank of China's release time).

"New Super Mario Brothers U Deluxe Edition"

National Bank Landing Time: 2019.12.10/1.15 (physical card)

Game Type: Action National Bank Price: 299 yuan

as a simultaneous release of the escort masterpiece, "New Super Horsepower" "Ou Brothers U Deluxe Edition" obviously did not succeed in supporting the scene of National Bank Switch. "Mario is popular all over the world, except obviously in China." It must be admitted that the domestic audience of the horizontal version of the jumping game is indeed very small. Some people may even say that "New Super Mario Bros U" is different from the "Super Mario" more than 30 years ago in addition to the screen? In fact, there are not many players who say that they bought the Bank of China to play this "New Super Mario Bros U". More players who buy the Bank of China Switch are also games that may land in the expectation. This also makes The "New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe Edition" launched simultaneously with the Bank of China was in an embarrassing situation.

But even so, "New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Edition" still achieved a cumulative sales of 7.44 million copies in Nintendo's second quarter 2020 financial report, ranking tenth in the Switch game sales rankings. As a 2D Mario game, this game first landed on WiiU in 2012 and is the orthodox sequel to "New Super Mario Brothers Wii". Maybe there are few highlights that players can remember, but it is still an easy-to-use and rich platform jumping game. For players who like the horizontal jumping Mario game, it is definitely full of charm. But the reviewer believes that even if you have already bought the game, there must be many friends who have not cleared the level. Have you cleared it?


"Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition"

National Bank Landing Time: 2020.3.16/4.15 (physical card)

Game Type: Racing National Bank Price: 299 yuan

It has been jokingly said in the shops, or the National Bank Switch before 3.15 Announced the release of "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition" (hereinafter referred to as "Carriage 8") and "Super Mario: Odyssey", then Tencent National Bank Switch is likely to be on CCTV's 3.15 party because of deceiving users. But in any case, "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition" is also one of the most watched games of the Bank of China.

Overseas, "Carriage 8" is the highest-selling game on Switch. As of June 30, 2020, the total sales volume of "Carriage 8" has reached 26.74 million. Today, we can still see "Carriage 8" is active in the weekly sales rankings of various countries and regions. So now the question is, which Switch players have not bought "Carriage 8"?

After the National Bank's "Carriage 8" went live, the operation team of National Bank Switch tried to make a fuss on "Carriage 8" more than once. The National Bank’s "Carriage 8" first borrowed from the festival of Splatoon 2 and launched the National Bank’s "Carriage 8" version of the festival activities, from cat and dog battles to hot pot VS skewer to the sweet and salty battle, although every time you participate The number of people is relatively limited, but both for the Bank of China game itself and for the players of Bank of China, these are also positive signals, let us see that the Bank of China team is indeed working hard to create a game environment for Bank of China Switch. And at this year’s China Joy, the Bank of China Switch also launched the first "Mario Kart 8 Luxury Edition" peak invitational event, which undoubtedly has an impact on "Carriage 8" in China.Loudness played a boosting role. Since "Carriage 8" is the only game in the National Bank's reviewed game lineup that focuses on online elements, it is not difficult to speculate that it will continue to be one of the main games of National Bank Switch in the future. .


"Super Mario: Odyssey"

National Bank Landing Time: 2020.3.16/4.15 (physical card)

Game Type: Action National Bank Price: 299 yuan

is the same as "New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe Edition". Super Mario: Odyssey is also an embarrassing game in the National Bank game library. As a game that has been released on the Switch platform in 2017 and has been widely acclaimed, many players who started the Switch early have already experienced its charm. And the National Bank players who have not experienced this game before still have another channel to play this masterpiece: Although the National Bank card cannot run on the overseas version of the Switch, on the contrary, on the National Bank machine, the overseas version card can be used. It runs normally, and "Super Mario: Odyssey" can basically run perfectly on the National Bank Switch host. Then, the National Bank version of "Super Mario: Odyssey" with no release time advantage, no price advantage, and no exclusive advantage is extremely embarrassing. Although the game is great, players still have more choices.


"Tidal"

National Bank Landing Time: 2020.5.28

Game Type: Action National Bank Price: 58 yuan

After more than two months of embarrassment with only three Mario games, the Bank of China e store finally opens in 2020 The first third-party game, the horizontal version of the jumping game "Xi" produced and released by the domestic Yedao Games, was ushered on May 28th. This game was originally released on the PC platform in May 2017, and the evaluations received are also uneven. Some players say that this is a hard-core platform jumping game that is at the forefront of domestic independent games, and some players say it is because of difficulties. Difficult, four chapters, hundreds of levels, because many scenes require players to do it all at once, once they miss it, they have to start all over again, which also makes many action games "sigh and sigh".

From the current point of view, after "Xi" landed in the National Bank e store, the players did not seem to be very much. First of all, the game itself has limited popularity and it is difficult to arouse players’ desire to buy. Secondly, as a game that has been on sale for a while, whether it is the price of 38 yuan on WeGame and Steam on PC, or the historically low eShop of 24 yuan on the overseas version of Switch The price of RMB 58 makes the National Bank’s official recommended retail price of 58 yuan no advantage. To a large extent, we need to admit that "Xio" is indeed a game used by National Bank Switch to fill the store. We can do an investigation. As a National Bank Switch player, have you bought this "Xio"?


"Rainbow Fall"

National Bank Landing Time: 2020.5.28

Game Type: Puzzle National Bank Price: 68 yuan

Only one day after the release of "Shi", the puzzle game "Rainbow" developed by Tencent's NEXT Studios "Fall" officially landed on the National Bank e-store. As a puzzle game with unique art style, the black and white picture of "Rainbow Fall" has a very strong contrast between light and shadow, which can undoubtedly leave a deep impression on players from a visual point of view. In terms of solving puzzles, this game also puts the core of the switch between the body of the character and the shadow, and uses the switch of light and shadow to make a unique puzzle design. Although the game itself is not a long process, some of the puzzles can still impress players. As a puzzle game, the quality of "Rainbow Fall" itself is indeed commendable.

However, it may still be due to the issue of release time and influence. "Rainbow Fall" did not cause too many waves after it landed on the National Bank e store. It only got a small-scale discussion among the players on the day of the release. But what is worthy of the players is that now this game has also landed on the overseas version of the eShop, and overseas version Switch players who like this work can also start to experience it.


"Only Only Great Adventure"

National Bank Landing Time: 2020.7.2

Game Type: Action National Bank Price: 78 yuan

Also developed by NEXT Studios, "Only Only Adventure" became the first game to land on both the Bank of China and the overseas version of Switch. As a game that emphasizes two-player cooperation and cooperation, it can be said that "Just Big Adventure" is the third-party work that has the best compatibility with Switch among the several games that have been launched on the National Bank's e-store. The original concept of Switch is sharing and multiplayer games, and this is also the core of "Just Great Adventure". In this work, the player will control two biped robots separately and embark on an adventure in nearly 30 mysterious realms with different scenarios. "Just Great Adventure" will not only test the player's tacit understanding, but also the trust between the two players. Some players may use it to increase their feelings, and some players may make friends directly because of it. Judging from the performance of "Just Great Adventure" on the Switch, the reviewer believes that it is indeed a game extremely suitable for the Switch platform. To this day I still think that this is simulated by the two joysticks on the handle The operation design of the robot's feet is very interesting.

National Bank e store welcomes more third-party games to log in, but players want to see excellent works, rather than low-quality games to recharge. As a studio under Tencent, it can also be foreseen that in the future, games from NEXT Studios will have a high probability of landing on the National Bank e-store.


"Legend of E-sports"

National Bank Landing Time: 2020.7.2

Game Type: Simulated Operation National Bank Price: 58 yuan

"E-Sports Legend" and "Just Big Adventure" also released by Yedao Games on the same day Log in to the National Bank e-shop. In this game, the player will act as an e-sports manager, managing a newly established e-sports club, from recruiting players to arranging the schedule, and finally standing on the pinnacle of glory with the club. It can be said that the game "Legend of E-sports" is largely borrowed from the domestic MOBA game fire in the past few years. Its own quality is difficult to describe as excellent, and this game has long been stopped on the PC platform. Update. "Legend of E-sports" can be listed on the National Bank e-store thanks to it has already been reviewed on PC and mobile phones, relatively reducing the difficulty of reviewing the Switch version. It can be said that this game is just a work put on the shelves for the purpose of expanding the National Bank e-shop, not a game that players expect.


"Jumping Rope Challenge"

National Bank Landing Time: 2020.7.6

Game Type: Other National Banks Price: Free

As the first free game of National Bank e-store, "Jumping Rope Challenge" is undoubtedly the flagship most popular among National Bank players. works. As Nintendo’s homemade "game" or simple exercise software to encourage players to keep exercising at home during the epidemic, the operation of this game is very simple. Players only need to hold the Joy-Con with both hands, and then turn their hands rhythmically. , Coupled with the regular jumping of the legs to simulate the rope skipping action to achieve the sports effect. And the game will also record the player's daily skipping times and exercise time. In addition, the cute bunny will also unlock more costumes, making our rope skipping journey less boring.

"Rope Skipping Challenge" is a very interesting sports software, and it is also the software that Tencent and the National Bank Switch team hope to see. It is easier to get out of the circle than games, and it is easier to attract players' attention. At present, Tencent has also launched a WeChat applet specifically for "Rope Skipping Challenge". In this rope skipping assistant, we can also see that there are still many players who are tirelessly joining the challenge every day. Players can not only directly post the rope skipping data to the circle of friends, You can even see the ranking of national players. But in fact, the reviewer really wants to know, what is the sacredness of David, who is number one in the total rope skipping list and who has jumped 581,000 times?


"Neon Abyss"

National Bank Landing Time: 2020.7.14

Game Type: Action Shooting National Bank Price: 58 yuan

is another National Bank e-store and overseas version Switch simultaneously on sale"Neon Abyss" is a dungeon adventure game based on horizontal action shooting gameplay. Players’ adventure maps, rooms, and props in the dungeon are randomly generated. In the dungeon, players can also choose different evolution routes, and will continue to encounter stronger enemies and Boss. Although "Neon Abyss" bears a lot of shadows of successful dungeon adventure games to a certain extent, the reviewer still likes it better, and I have played for 30 hours without knowing it. However, it must be admitted that the optimization of this work on the Switch platform is not excellent.

Considering that National Bank players do not have too much room for choice, "Neon Abyss" is indeed a thirst-quenching game. If you can match its radio waves, it is not difficult to like this game.


"Fitness Ring Adventure"

Country Bank Landing Time: 2020.9.3

Game Type: Other Country Bank Price: 499 yuan

As the tenth game that has landed on the National Bank e store, it can be said that so far, "Fitness Ring Big" "Adventure" is also the largest of all the games released by the National Bank Switch. This is not only because of the excellent reputation of the fitness ring itself and the popularity of the whole network, but the fact that it was on the CCTV 315 party is enough to show its recognition. And when the National Bank's "Fitness Ring Adventure" was released, Tencent also brought a face-to-face meeting for the first time, and also invited the hard candy girl as a spokesperson, which is evident in the promotion.

For National Bank players, this 499 yuan "Fitness Ring Adventure" is really eye-catching. During the epidemic at the beginning of the year, many players increased their prices to buy the overseas version of the fitness ring. Do you remember how much you spent to buy it? Now that the National Bank’s "Fitness Ring Adventure" is officially released, the domestic price of the overseas version of the fitness ring is gradually falling and stabilizing. I believe that for every National Bank player, "Fitness Ring Adventure" is very worth starting. .


and above are the ten games that we can buy and download in the Switch e store of the National Bank. After nine months of release, there are only ten games to choose from. Such results are obviously difficult to satisfy players. With reference to the current situation, although Tencent has submitted many Switch games for review, it is likely that there will only be one or two of them on the shelves every month for a long time to come. The National Bank Switch still has a long way to go.

So far, the Bank of China has also submitted a number of Nintendo first-party games for review, including "Yoshi's Handcrafted World" submitted for review on December 9 last year, and "Kabi: Rising Star Alliance" submitted for review on December 23 last year. , "Super Mario Party" submitted for review with "Fitness Ring Adventure" on March 18 this year, "Mario Tennis: ACE" submitted for review on April 8 this year, and "Brain Science Expert Kawashima" submitted for review on May 26 Dr. Ryuta supervised the adult’s Nintendo Switch Brain Training, as well as the "Pokémon Let&39;s Go Pikachu/Ibrahimovic" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," which had been announced as early as last year for the National Bank Switch. ". And even now, there are still players joking that it may be because the reviewers have not found all 900, haha, which led to the failure of Breath of the Wild. But in fact, referring to past experience, the National Bank version of "Breath of the Wild" may indeed need to make some changes before it can be officially launched. As for when we have to wait, we will continue to wait and see.

Among the several Nintendo first-party games submitted for review above, the reviewer personally thinks that the one that is most likely to be reviewed first is "Super Mario Party". Affected by the epidemic in the first half of this year, many families in China have not been able to reunite, and now the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is approaching. This time period is likely to be a late Spring Festival, giving relatives and friends the opportunity to sit and have a meal together. Dinner, get together. So "Super Mario Party", as an excellent multiplayer party game, can undoubtedly shine on these occasions. If "Super Mario Party" can be reviewed before the National Day, then I believe that there will be many players willing to pay. Although there may not be many opportunities to open this game, but compared to hundreds of thousands of KTVs and even villa party parties, a game of 299 can be exchanged for an afternoon of happy hour, why not?

in addition to the first party games mentioned aboveIn addition, there are currently many third-party games on the National Bank Switch that have been submitted for review. Among them, foreign works include: "Fork Road Traveler", "Random Story: Reunion Ore Town", "Just Dance", " Crazy Rabbit : Adventure Party" and "Samurai Soul : Dawn, "Taste Now Super Monkey Ball", "Silver Steel: Ikers", "Mini Metro" and "Lehman: Legend Ultimate Edition". The games from domestic studios include: "The Incredible Crown", "The Land of Bad Fruits", "39 Days to Mars" and "To the Moon" plus the already reviewed action game "Aish".

can see that most of the third-party games that may land on the National Bank Switch are foreign manufacturers that have close cooperation with Tencent. Among them, the PS4 National Bank version of "Samurai Soul: Dawn" has been launched on May 1st, I believe it is just around the corner to land on National Bank Switch. However, several Ubisoft's games have relatively low difficulty in passing the review. It is estimated that in the near future we will also see these games appearing in the National Bank e-store. It should be noted here that referring to the previous demo of "Mad Bunny: Adventure Party" launched by Bank of China, the reviewer personally guessed that this game may have been basically completed, and it has not been released yet because it wants to be in Bank of China. Simultaneously unveiled on the overseas version of the Switch, so it should not be too late to meet you. In addition to the above-mentioned games, the review time of the remaining foreign third-party manufacturers' games may become unknown, and we can only wait patiently.

As for these domestic studio games, we can basically see that most of them have been logged on Tencent’s own WeGame platform. These reviewed games are easier to review if they are moved to the Switch platform. They It will still be the main force to fill the e-shop of Bank of China. It’s only a matter of time before works such as "WILL: A Wonderful World", "Chinese Parents" and "Angry Legion: Reloading", which have already been launched on the overseas version of Switch, will land on the National Bank's e-store. If one day we see "The Invisible Guardian" in the e-store of Bank of China, we shouldn't be surprised, these are very possible.

For National Bank Switch, it is still difficult to form a good environment for active development. The road is long and long. As a player who supports National Bank Switch, the reviewer also hopes to see National Bank. The progress of Switch, after all, the domestic game environment also needs generations of players to build. We have experienced a fault in the console game, and we are more aware of the importance of inheritance. The Bank of China can develop slowly, but it is absolutely necessary.

Finally, there have always been many small partners in private messaging reviews asking whether they recommend buying the National Bank Switch. My answer to this is still that, if possible, the overseas version of the Switch is still the best way to understand the Switch, but again, I also Still support the Bank of China.
