Charting which Nintendo systems got the most games

Polygon: Even the Nintendo 64 got more games than the Wii U.

UltraNova3412d ago

At least the Switch will surely sell better than the Wii U, putting an end to this downwards trajectory Nintendo is trapped in, by their own doing (some would say).

If they really wanted to fix their mess they'd release a GameCube 2. The original had great (if few) games. Both 1st and 3rd party.

GameCube had an awesome library. People give the Wii flack, but there was a pretty solid library ignoring the shovelware. Nintendo even released a sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. Just imagine if they released a Super Mario 128 or Super Mario Sunshine 2 in the N64 and GameCube eras. I think Switch is going to have a GameCube like third party library and a super awesome first party. As long as the third party games are good, that is what I care about. I bought the most third party games in the NES, SNES and GameCube eras.

" As long as the third party games are good, that is what I care about. I bought the most third party games in the NES, SNES and GameCube eras."

Thats ^ because they actually had 3rd party support back then....in other words dont hold your breath dude just wait and decide when you see actual 3rd party games worth buying for the Switch.

Edit:@ moon

I dont agree with your 3rd party game choices as being reason enough to justify getting the Switch just yet but I respect your choice and I admire your dedication in supporting them in hope they receive more 3rd party games down the line.

The issue with releasing another GameCube, while not a bad idea, financially wouldn't make much sense. Nintendo make a powerful console with lots of third party backing support and it is the worst(second worst now compared to Wii U) selling console. Why make a follow up of that?

Their approach with the Switch hopefully will merge their home and handheld divisions together; then you'll see a steady stream of games.
I mean, compare their handheld division to their home division and you see how much more support the handheld one got.

@UltraNova

Seasons Of Heaven (exclusive I am highly anticipating), Skyrim (which I never played), the Suda 51 game and Dragon Quest 11 already have me interested in third party on Switch. I expect Japan to support Switch the most in third party. Hopefully Capcom can make another Viewtiful Joe or a game like it.

@Moomman
So you are interested in Skyrim on Switch, but not interested enough in Skyrim to check out any of the other incarnations of the game since 2011? Sound like your just clinging to any 3rd party support Nintendo gets.

@captainexplosion

Why not play it on Switch? Yes, I own a PS4 but someone has to support third party on Switch. I will play it on the go as well. There are many more but I named the stand outs until I see more gameplay from games like Project Octopath Traveler.

The Nintendo Switch is about to be half of what Wii U got in terms of games and launch isn't even here yet

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.

solideagle37d 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
