I agree with you about the dev kits. 100%.Why wouldn't 3rd parties be free to speak on ports? There were plenty of titles shown off this week with switch 1 logos.
I just think Nintendo dropped the ball and didn't give enough 3rd parties dev kits. My guess is that we are going to see massive lag with the number of 3rd party titles that we see on the switch 2. Nintendo seem to have focused their launch on a handful of games, Hogwarts, Cyberpunk, SF6 etc. to assure Nintendo fans that the S2 wouldn't just be a Mario machine.
I agree, I just think it was silly for him to say sales have nothing to do with 3rd party supportSomewhat, otherwise everybody would be making mobile games. There will be third party support but as already shown a lot of PS/PC type games will not have Switch versions because that crowd doesn't buy the same type of games or don't have established fanbases on that system for franchises yet so it's a little more complicated than just sales.

That bodes terrible for Microsoft supporting Switch 2, they can't seemingly even be bothered to port over something they agreed 3 years ago in an agreement to port over. That just makes it clear that after that Cod port they are done with the Switch 2. I think the Xbox handheld means that they don't want to do anything that makes the Switch 2 more attractive at the expense of their Xbox handheld, so no support to Switch 2 will happen beyond a lacklustre CoD port they will only make because Phil Spencer 3 years ago signed a deal with Nintendo that he has regretted ever since.![]()
Did they get Dev kits late or something? Or switch 2 just not priority?
Considering blops 7 is coming out on last gen it should be easily possible on a switch 2.
I wonder if that has more to do with marketing deals. I.e — Nintendo, or Sony, or Microsoft have marketing rights to a specific game and therefore EA/2K cant talk about them. I would think that any title shown today with a PS5, Xbox, PC and Steam logo, it should have also had a Switch 2 logo if a Switch 2 version were in development.I agree with you about the dev kits. 100%.
But, every year EA and 2k were not able to announce the annual sports games, even though we assume they were coming. Nintendo always announced them.
''Lack of devkits'' just seems like cope. It reminds me of how we all thought Switch 1 would get strong third party support after the install base got higher and still everyone just continued skipping Switch.I wonder if that has more to do with marketing deals.

Things may not improve on the 3rd party front with the Switch 2 and we may just continue to see last gen ports, EA slop and Call of Duty, but I find it odd that we didn't see many Switch 2 3rd party announcements this week — if only to take advantage of limited completion with a new console launch.''Lack of devkits'' just seems like cope. It reminds me of how we all thought Switch 1 would get strong third party support after the install base got higher and still everyone just continued skipping Switch.

ahahaha it already has more aaa then switch and switch sell 150 millionsIt really doesn't make sense. The hardware was known and locked in YEARS ago. Not only that they managed to produce and stockpile millions of retail units.
The argument that devkits' are slow to reach developers is hard to believe unless Nintendo is just straight up incompetent.
People are looking for excuses. Honestly if it isn't the case that 3rd party announcements are being held back for a Direct in the next couple of months then it's not looking good imo.
Wishful thinking lolI suspect it's the total opposite.
Considering the sales, intelligent developers will start focussing on the Switch instead of tired and uninspiring systems like PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Mobile.
All thos platforms have already millions of users each. Don't see any intelligent developers ever ditching those.instead of tired and uninspiring systems like PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Mobile.
A handful at most, and most of these are not relevant.So, out of the 100 or so games that got announced this week, how many got announced for Switch 2?
I just counted Final Fantasy Tactics. This is getting totally crazy.
nintendos announce 98 percents third parties games at nintendos directsSo, out of the 100 or so games that got announced this week, how many got announced for Switch 2?

Wouldn't surprise me if third parties will focus much more on Xbox ROG Ally optimization of their games over Switch 2, they just seem to really hate Switch 2.A handful at most, and most of these are not relevant.
This console seems to be already dead in the water in terms of third party support and it just released. Crazy.
Yet, they don't.I wonder if that has more to do with marketing deals. I.e — Nintendo, or Sony, or Microsoft have marketing rights to a specific game and therefore EA/2K cant talk about them. I would think that any title shown today with a PS5, Xbox, PC and Steam logo, it should have also had a Switch 2 logo if a Switch 2 version were in development.
shadows already rate they are delumisal ahaha nintendos annonce directYet, they don't.
While I'm not an insider, I would bet a cup of coffee that NS2 gets some big ports this Fall/Holiday. But I think most are older.
I'm not saying these are coming but these types of games make sense. Especially, Xbox One/Ps4 ports or older.
Assassins Creed Mirage, Killer Instinct 2016, Age of Empires, Goldeneye Remastered, Red dead 2, Elden Ring, Battletoads, Sunset Overdrive, Sea of thieves, COD MW2, Sandland, Dragon Ball.
Those types of games seem likely to me for 2025 on NS2
Rating and announcing are different though. You understand that right?shadows already rate they are delumisal ahaha nintendos annonce direct

I think they all have Switch 2 dev kits but threw them in the trash once they got the PS5 Portable dev kit, so now they are focusing on that. Nintendo will not get 3rd party games next year at all, that's it, the well has dried. Even if they sell 200m they will not get 3rd party games ever, it's done, they are doomed. Again.Wouldn't surprise me if third parties will focus much more on Xbox ROG Ally optimization of their games over Switch 2, they just seem to really hate Switch 2.
Switch 1 didn't have great third party support despite its glowing sales so I have no reason to expect this go around to be any different.Switch 2 will get significant 3rd party support from Japanese companies. It will get less but still decent Western 3rd party support. It will get massive indie support. Those arguing it will get terrible 3rd party support are just doing console war nonsense.
