Sega released a new trailer of Valkyria Chronicles 4 showing the Imperial characters, while a poll among fans shows a sizable preference for the Switch version.

I started franchise on PS so I'll continue it there.

Everyone screams want a Switch version...makes Switch version and no one buys it...That's how it goes for 3rd Party on Nintendo systems

[Sgt_Slaughter]

So all of the companies coming out and saying they're happy and delighted and impressed and all of the positive words to describe good sales went over your head then? For the Wii U, yes some 3rd-Party games sold bad but that was mainly due to poor ports or too expensive compared to versions already out.

Indie developers to major 3rd-Party developers have all praised the Switch and sales for games, so it's only going up from here.

3rd parties are doing well on Switch and as a fan of the series, I will buy it on Switch.

I actually think this game may do quite well on Switch, particularly in Japan. The series was more a cult hit, but it's gained a lot of exposure since this gen....despite Valkyria Revolutions.

I hope the game does well across the board. it's one of my favorite series, and I'd like to see more games over time.

Well, assuming the content is the same in both versions and the Switch one doesn't suffer from performance issues, I can see why many would be enticed by it. The art style allows the game to look good on weaker hardware and the ability to play the game anywhere is great.

I really liked the original one on PS3, but in the end, I played VC2 significantly more than the first one due to the fact that I almost always had that game on me thanks to the PSP. The same could happen with the 4th one.

I'm not really sure what performance issues it could possibly have. Since it's following the original design, it's not overly taxing on either the graphics or the processing the game itself. It'll probably look better than the PS3 version of VC1, and maybe not as good as the PS4 version of VC1 or VC4.

[Blu3_Berry]

So was the poll worldwide or no? Assuming if Sega does this, I will probably wait for the PC version since that's where I originally got to try out Valkyria Chronicles (even if it comes at a later date). I really am looking forward to this though, very interested in the direction of the story.

[rainslacker]

I'm just hoping they do a remaster of VC2 and 3. I'd love to play them on a home console, coupled with a nice trophy list for each.:)

PS4 day 1 for me. Will alway play them on Playstation.

[Asuka]

played the first on ps3, rebought it for pc on steam, and will be getting this one on Switch. Like the series overall. never got a chance to play the other sequels tho.

[Adnanilyas21]

If i buy it will be on the Switch, dont have a ps4 and love the portability. Suprised at that poll to be fair

[BlaqMagiq1]

Will be getting it on PS4. Just doesn't feel right playing it anywhere else especially since 1-3 were on a PS platform.

@Solidc1981 if real gamers care about power, than the pick PC or X Box One X. You can't change your mind like this. Power doesn't when you compare to X Box and PC, but it does matter when you compare them to Switch. Make up your mind.
