I love my Switch. And I'll consider signing this after Shenmue has released for the platforms its crowdfunding campaign was intended for. And I love Nintendo.
But I've seen what trying to publish a crowdfunded game on too many platforms (*cough* MN9 *cough*) can do to a game's QA and level of polish. I'm also cognizant of the reality that the only reason the budget they have is even viable is because Sony is assisting with distribution on PS4, and the related cost barrier on PC to publish is lower than on console.
And so while this would be great in principle, I'm not willing to apply one iota or pressure or persuasion - no matter how gentle, unlikely to succeed, voluntary, or well intended - on Ys to port the game to another platform until after the game has released. After that, then it would be fantastic.
It's also worth noting that barring the game being incredibly low spec at launch, it would require some degree of downgrade. Which is fine, graphics aren't everything, and if that's the cost of having S3 on the go, sign me up. Just not yet.
And, as noted, this isn't really 500K's doing.
Great idea, though.
