Nobody's getting this console to play GTA, COD, Hitman, and Assassin's creed.
We want Zelda. We want Mario. We want Smash. All that other stuff is mostly fluff because at the end of the day people only put up with the console to play the Nintendo games. Stop showing off all that 3rd party junk and get to the meat of the system- the exclusives.
Increasing development times is definitely going to be an issue for Nintendo. But I expect them to offset that be increasing their portfolio of external partners and their on investments in internal expansion.I barely play Nintendo first party on the switch outside of fire emblem, Mario, switch sports, metroid, and Zelda.
I play a ton of indies, older shooters, wrpgs/jrpgs. I love the portability and it's lighter and more pocket able than my steam deck.
I recently finished suikoden on it and am playing lunar silver star story, inerfernax, dark star one as well as star overdrive.
Occasionally I pop in a 2d Mario game and play a level or two, but unless a new one comes out switch is for 3rd party mostly for me.
I am concerned about Nintendos output. Will they be able to release as many games? Underpowered meant they had shorter dev time.
Some families want only one console for the household, so by default they're playing third party on the Switch. Then there's core gamers who like the mobility aspect so much they prefer to trade in some performance for this.Nobody's getting this console to play GTA, COD, Hitman, and Assassin's creed.
WHY?
Because 3rd party game run/looks better on Xbox/PlayStation or PC?
What if the Nintendo system was as capable as Xbox/PlayStation or PC, would you still only play Nintendo game on it?
What about mariokart world?Same, which makes Switch 2 an easy skip for me for a couple years until the 1st party catalogue gets better. Also don't want to get burned on stick drift in the joycons again.
3rd party games that already came out years ago and will be cheaper, look and play better on every other platform is not a good selling point for this system.
Same here64gigabyteram
If Nintendo think I'm going to rebuy a bunch of games that I already have purchased on PC and can play on my Steam deck at any time (but I wouldn't becuase so many of these games are not well suited to handheld play), then they must be joking.
I'll most likely get a switch 2 once the Nintendo 1st party lineup is sizable and there's an oled version.
may never bee oled screen waaaaaay betters then switch lcdSorry Bowser, I've already made my mind up on this one. You can save your energy for someone else who might be more receptive.
Ill play Nintendo Switch 2 games on Pc emulator.
Just as i did with Switch 1 games. And with Wii U games. And 3DS games.
Last Nintendo systems i bought were Nintendo DS and Gamecube
So basically yelling to everybody who wants to hear it that you pirate games. Fantastic !Ill play Nintendo Switch 2 games on Pc emulator.

I love what I saw of Mario Kart World and the new Donkey Kong, but it isn't enough currently. I am looking forward to Metroid Prime 4 as well and still need to pick up Xenoblade Chronicles X (but both are playable on original Switch obviously). And I need to see if Nintendo is going to continue with their $80 price tag for their first party games. I'm not going to support that move. Wait and see is the best approach for me, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything important in the short term, nothing screams "must have" to me.What about mariokart world?
This thought came to me after the Switch 2 launch title sizes got revealed, and seeing the couple of new Nintendo games there compared to all the third party stuff & rereleases running on Game Key Cards and whatever else.
It's cool that the Switch 2 can run CP2077, and Street Fighter 6, and Hitman 3 and all that other stuff- it makes a great benchmark to compare the console's power against other systems. but be real with me here. Who here's actually going to play those Switch 2 ports over what they have on their PS5?
I'm sure there are some people who will use the Switch 2 as their main gaming platform. But that's not what I get a Switch for. Nobody's getting this console to play GTA, COD, Hitman, and Assassin's creed.

I just hope that Nintendo has a bigger first party showing in coming months because 450 to play Cyberpunk again isn't a good look honestly
People played on ps1 and ps2 instead of n64/gamecube due to lack of 3rd party support because Nintendo didn't have a CD rom on either console (gamecube wasnt dvd). This limited games. Especially jrpgs and during the ps1 motion video. Which at the time was new and better than it was on sega/Tg16 CD.I never understood where the idea came from that you can't play third-party games on Nintendo consoles, as if that were some sort of absurd notion. This nonsense really started gaining traction after Sony entered the gaming market. Let's not pretend — throughout history, there were many times when Sony consoles actually had inferior third-party versions of games, especially during the PS1 and PS2 eras. Yet even then, their users didn't really care; they still bought and enjoyed those games. This whole mindset seems more like a forum-driven, herd mentality that a lot of impressionable people ended up following. Thankfully, most Nintendo Switch owners didn't fall into that way of thinking — otherwise, the Switch might have ended up like the Wii U.
Yes. I play these games on emulator for free. Do you have any problem with that? Nice. Im happy for you xDSo basically yelling to everybody who wants to hear it that you pirate games. Fantastic !
I havent watched dunkey for a while wtf happened to the voice?
I couldn't care less. I want to consolidate my purchases as much as I can on one console, and I'm not getting Nintendo software LEGALLY anywhere else. I'm gonna be playing Madden in August.Feels like Resident Evil 4 on NGC was the last time I bought third-party on Nintendo, but that generation of NGC / PS2 / Xbox was great and felt like the last time you could freely buy third-party on everything and not care. I owned and was playing all the Crash games, Mortal Kombat games, Budokai Tenkaichi and Simpsons Hit and Run / Road Rage on all of those platforms. Tech changed all of that after that generation.
yes good synopsis and N64 carts were expensive. While PS1 was as you said. NIntendo went disc with GC (albeit limited in capacity) and had decent or good 3rd party support initially. But XBox debuted and took the 3rd party support away from Nintendo. The GC became the odd man out. There wasn't room for 3 doing roughly the same thing.People played on ps1 and ps2 instead of n64/gamecube due to lack of 3rd party support because Nintendo didn't have a CD rom on either console (gamecube wasnt dvd).

People could get resident evil on both but only one console had final fantasy 7, metal gear solid, tomb raider, legacy of kain, sotn, mega man legends series, and a megaton of awesome jrpgs.
So you had to choose, super expensive games, Mario and Zelda, Mario cart and a handful of subpar 3rd party games or new awesome unique 3d games along with 1000s of 3rd party games. This continued on the ps2. Nintendo is to blame for its own mess with 3rd parties. Let's not even mention their shitty exclusivity practices during the nes/snes period.
Nintendo got back partially during the wii period but fumbled the ball during the wii u. Which is a shame as it was a cool system with an unfortunate name.
$450 and $80 is too expensive only for first-party games.
I don't have anything to do about it, but I think your attitude sucks. Trying a couple games is not the same as admitting you have been actively pirating games for several generations. Even if it is Nintendo, at some point, if you keep pirating games and emulating these consoles, they have to be worth some of your money.Yes. I play these games on emulator for free. Do you have any problem with that? Nice. Im happy for you xD
Now lets see what you can do about it.
