The story
A post claiming that the platform-icon lineup in Famitsu’s September 10 issue feature on “Onimusha” doesn’t include a Switch 2 icon became a hot topic on the game hardware (ゲハ) board. While some in the thread suspected “they must be deliberately leaving Switch 2 out,” others countered that “since the Switch 2 version was announced later, they probably just forgot to add the icon — the text listing is still there,” splitting opinion between intentional exclusion and a simple mistake. The thread also notes that a Switch 2 version product page can in fact be found on the Nintendo eShop.
What people said
I read Famitsu's Onimusha article, and yeah, Switch 2 wasn't in the platform list. Deliberate, maybe?
This is the September 10 issue.

Re: #11
Checked the Kindle edition — yep, it's true.
It was added later, so they just forgot to slap the icon on — the text's still there
Garbage media like this is exactly why Nintendo Direct was born
Exactly right
It's a beautiful thing
when garbage gets recognized as garbage
A 'mochi shop' (i.e., a supposed expert — from the saying 餅は餅屋, "leave it to the pros") that can't even sell mochi properly is worthless
Is this what a news magazine looks like?
It's the Sponichi (a Japanese tabloid known for sloppy, sensational reporting) of the gaming industry
There's Steam, Epic, and MS versions, and you can't tell which one they mean
Whatever the actual facts are, given their track record it's fair to assume it's intentional
It's gotta be deliberate lol
they're just listing the other platforms it releases on
GTA talk is off-topic here
It happens pretty often with Nintendo hardware
but it's never once happened with PlayStation
You'd normally play it on PC
I'm running it on my custom-built RTX 4090 rig
I want to play lying down, so Switch 2 it is for me
Building your own PC is way too nerdy lol
It's written further down though
Even if Konami's side just unilaterally kowtowed on their own, that's still creepy
Why are you suddenly trash-talking GTA6?
I was planning to buy the Premium Deluxe Edition
It's coming out

The Premium-whatever edition too

Once PlayStation drops physical packages for good, they'll probably scrap the rankings altogether
Whether they like it or not, there's nothing they can do about PlayStation software just not selling
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
What sparked this thread was a claim that gaming magazine Famitsu, in an article introducing “Onimusha,” left the Switch 2 icon out of its list of compatible-platform icons. On the hardware/industry (ゲハ) board, there’s a long-running undercurrent of frustration with how Famitsu handles Nintendo hardware coverage, and this incident quickly fed into the view that “this has to be deliberate.” That said, some posters in the thread pointed out that because the Switch 2 version was announced later than the other platforms, the icon list simply hadn’t been updated yet — even though the text listing itself was present — leaving open the possibility that it was a simple oversight. It’s also worth noting that a Switch 2 version product page can indeed be found on the Nintendo eShop, so this is easy to misread as the release itself being in doubt, which it isn’t. On the whole, this is a familiar type of thread for the board — a mix of distrust toward how media outlets treat different platforms and the usual rivalry between console fanbases.
