I wonder if that means NISA will make more limited editions for the Switch release then.

The website lists a limited edition of Dana for the Switch;

I'm glad to see the translation patch got a date.  It looks like I'll be back playing Ys 8 in about 3 weeks.

As for the switch version?  I don't exactly see the point so I'm not really worried about it.  If there are Ys fans out there that own neither a Vita, a PS4, or a PC then good for them I guess?  It's definitely still not enough to get me interested in getting a switch.

I for one am super stoked that this is being ported to switch. I know it's expensive for what it is (the system and accessories) but for me the functionality seems tailor fit to my lifestyle. I play off screen 70% of the time, but also have decent enough TVs that when I am able I prefer to play on the a TV.

I almost bought both the Vita and PS4 versions so I could have this functionality, and the combination of those systems is more than a Switch for the same functionality with only needing to purchase one copy of the game. The functionality is actually slightly better, since my Vita is on an old firmware and I don't want to update it, I would not be able to easily transfer the saves. Even with the fastest official Playstation functionality the switch is much more convenient and quick then shutting the game down, transferring saves, and reloading the game.

I know I should support the company and buy all 3, but I can't justify that, so this is a great option for me!

After the disappointing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I am super stoked to know there's a grind of JRPG in my near future, besides the upcoming Octopath Traveler which is very odd looking but overly traditionally playing.

I have it on Vita.  I'll probably pick it up on Switch so I can play through it again on on a normal sized TV, but with all the other games in my backlog, I'll be buying this one used in about a year or two...  No rush on my end.

Now that the patch is coming soon I'm going to grab it for PS4. It should hold me over nicely for my modern gaming fix until Yakuza 6 comes out.

A friend mentioned to me that this means the Switch version will also probably ship with the updated voice/translations patch that's coming out January 30th, making it the definitive version as well. Ughhhh

And the NISA LE is similar but has some different stuff I guess, no bookends or poster but you get a letter opener!

They really should release a patched PS4 disc and offer replacement discs (where you have to send in your old disc) but that's not gonna happen.

I think it's worth noting the difference in visual quality and framerate between the various versions of Dragon Quest builders; the PS4 version is definitely the best, the vita version is a major downgrade with a worse framerate and much blurrier everything, and the switch version is so far a significant visual improvement over the Vita version running at a much higher framerate with much crispier visuals.

The Switch version of Ys8 could easily be the definitive portable version with a acceptable docked mode from the available hardware. Again, looking forward to it!
