If this becomes an indie machine for third parties ima be pissed

jaymacx3403d ago

Every digital store on all consoles have tons of Indies. Some are great (yookah laylee).. having more options is never a bad thing.

Stapleface3403d ago

And here I am just wanting the Switch for indies and Nintendo first party titles... To each their own. I'd rather get something like Stardew Valley for the Switch, than on my pc or ps4 for example. Indies are fantastic on the go titles. For decent battery life, and usually your not set into any hour long quests in them.

Get ready to be pissed then

FunkyGoron3403d ago

Eh, I am buying Switch for Nintendo games... if great indies come to it, then that is only a plus, IMO.

I remember playing world of goo on my Wii. This is so sad.

RSKnight3403d ago (Edited 3401d ago )

I think having indies on the Switch will be a good thing, but as you pointed out, what worries me is that third parties are just throwing old games for it, like Skyrim (2011) and Rayman Legends (2013), and now World of Goo (was released on 2008!!!), it seems to me that not even indies have trust in the Switch as a viable platform. I want to see new games made for the Switch, not just re-releases of old games that I've already played. This is so sad indeed.

@shaggy and below:

When did I said that having indies or old games is sad or bad? Read my post again!
I have absolutely no problem with old games and indies being launched for the Switch (or any other platform), my problem is that 3rd parties are launching ONLY old games for it. THAT is the problem. It means 3rd parties don't trust the Switch so they are playing it safe, instead of working on new games for it, which is more risky. A console that only offers games that have been available for a long time on other platforms will not do well. Nintendo has to get 3rd parties to develop new games too.

Plus lego undercover. Although at least lego world's has been announced which is a new lego game that might turn out to be popular.
Regarding indies i think a lot of projects will be ported, but also there are a lot that were due for a wii u release but are now moving across to switch instead.

They've already proved it is the newer special PC version of the game by the graphics details, not the 2011 version. So that is a slanderous put down lie, from a hatter trying to look down, and belittle Nintendo.

What is with all these hypocrites talking about having Idies is bad? Last time I checked everyone was talking about how Microsoft was bad for being had to work with to indies. And on the other side saying Microsoft's development tools was better for Indies and they have good games. Now all the Sudden Indies are bad? They are also on the PC. STOP IT!

More devs and publishers should jump aboard now. This thing is going to be a hot seller its already sold out everywhere, people are going MAD for Nintendo stuff right now. Ive spoken with several managers at major retailers including Walmart, GameStop, and Best Buy and theyre all anticipating the Switch to be a HUGE success for Nintendo. The timing is right for something a little different but still quality. The switch doesnt need to be the best, it just has to be good enough and it damn well looks to be. This is what the wii U should have been, sure, but prepare to have Nintendo reaping the benefits of this thing really soon.

The Wii U is already forgotten about too as retailers are seeing $$$$$ with the amount of accessories and merchandise they'll be able to sell. The pro controllers and joy cons, hell anything Switch associated, is COMPLETELY sold out everywhere all the time and the people I spoke with dont think Nintendo will be able to come close to keeping up with demand. One actually said the system itself may be difficult to find from launch all the way through the holiday season. Basically, it'll only be available on eBay for double or more the MSRP. I am one who has been vocal about my disappointment with the Switch too. I was competely underwhelmed with the videos and launch lineup, price tag, etc. But after hearing feedback from those who have tried it and thinking about where the market is headed, I really do think Nintendo may really be on to something big.

E3 is right around the corner as well and Nintendo has stated their promise to not make the same mistakes they did with Wii U. Ive heard some rumblings that there are some pretty big announcements coming up that Nintendo has purposefully held back to keep the momentum from launch going. Ive not heard titles or anything of that nature, but its already been announced that Nintendo has merged their 3ds and console development houses to streamline content releases. This has to pay dividends eventually and the Switch will benefit from this focused development philosophy. Its kind of like what Sony did when they pulled their 1st party teams off Vita development to increase ps4 game output. Thats paying off for Sony now with the 1st party lineup really starting to shine just recently. And the lineup for PS4 looks so good this year because those developers have had the time to work on ps4 projects rather than toiling away on Vita stuff. Its a good philosophy and its going to help Nintendo in the months following launch when they can announce stuff to fill out the lineup for the rest of the year and beyond.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle23d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
