Nice, Nintendo tells them to hurry up while they release games like Mario Kart and others with some online features missing and Switch fans waiting.

@moldy

Still doesnt prevent it from getting 90+ on metacritic and become one of the best racing games this year right?

Your point?

"Still doesnt prevent it from getting 90+ on metacritic and become one of the best racing games this year right?"

A re-release you mean. I guess my point was a bit too complicated for you, Switch was obviously rushed to get out the door seeing as how little support it has gotten so far and features still not ready. So it's a little ironic we have Nintendo asking for developers to release games as quickly as they can while Nintendo is trying very hard to spread their titles and using remakes to keep it from looking like there isnt much game support. People have been asking Nintendo to release more systems since they sell out right away, again showing their incompetance to have enough systems ready. Even the WiiU version of Zelda was hard to find in the beginning. Now they cancel the NES classic because they have to prioritrize things, meanwhile they announce the 2DS.

I'll take the exclusives for Switch and PS4 gladly. Guess I'm one those *few* people you don't "see". /s

The reason you don't see people get a Nintendo console and not touch the exclusives, is because those are the only games available. You're not really helping your case.

They are already not getting the bulk of third-party in the first place ...

The fact that FIFA the only Electronic Arts game is extremely troubling..

Most people are purchasing it for exclusive and Indies because that's actually the only thing that even showing up on the platform in the first place..... so how could they purchase it for a concept that's not even represented on the platform?

Soooo it sounds to me like most people are purchasing it for the games that are actually showing up because I think they already understand that the market for those AAA games don't even exist on that platform.

I mean why would somebody purchase the switch to play the likes of Battlefront 2 or destiny 2 when there's no evidence that any of those games will show up?

I mean the fact that the majority of people or purchasing this understand it is simply for its "exclusive" sort of confirm they already know the market for Triple-A multi-platform games will not be represented on that platform...

I mean you have to consider were talking about entire franchises that have never even touched a Nintendo platform.....

@Razzer- well, that's sorta the point.

@Blue- exactly

Of course I own my PlayStation 4 to play great Games published by Sony but clearly that does not mean I'm going to not play Red Dead Redemption 2 or Call of Duty or shadow of War etc

I really doubt it. At this point NOT developing for the Switch will be like cutting your own coin purse. It's going to be big, and have a massive audience.

@ple-it's going to have an audience that caters to a single publisher.

There's a reason why you were not seeing the likes of Call of Duty or Mass Effect or Battlefront or anything like that on the 3DS or Wii U.

Too weak and the install base doesn't even purchased those type of games I'm sorry but the market for those games has already established on Playstation Xbox and PC.

The vast majority of people who purchased those games already have a place to play them.

Ask yourself this, who are purchasing the switch in the tunes of millions waiting for the division or wildlands or destiny despite multiple series having zero history on those platforms?

The millions that want those games have already established themselves on other platform.

The audience is not there for the series to even make sense

That's why you're not seeing more Call of Duty or Battlefield or anything like that running on the iPhone.

Having millions doesn't necessarily mean those millions are going to be purchasing your property or if your property could even run on those devices etc.

I mean you would have to consider one of the greatest selling games of all time right now with Grand Theft Auto V has not even touched a Nintendo Platforms.

Trust me they're not losing any money being absent from that platform any more than they would be losing money from not appearing on the iPhone or the Oyua lol

Different markets pal.

Unless you're going to go yell at every game publisher for not supporting Oyua 😂😂😂

Sure.

We've had multiple series go on to break ridiculous records all while never touching any of those platforms.

So yes, kept telling yourself that.

Lay off the Haterade.
I wouldn't have bought Call of duty on Wii U, but the Switch is a different story.
The hardware itself is the killer app that lets you play a game at any moment you choose and that's something PS4 and Xbox don't have.

@Crimson-Whos hating?

In my personal opinion I don't see it necessary to spend the money to a company that doesn't even see it beneficial for themselves to produce the game on their platform if Nintendo has a focus primarily on selling their system to sell their own games I believe they need to reinforce that concept by spending their money on building better teams possibly purchasing teams if they're available in on other properties they could build in house.

No this is not a different story than the Wii U ,the switch is literally in the exact same position that the Wii U was to the Xbox one and PlayStation 4

it is weaker..

So yes the switch has something that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox one doesn't, so did the 3DS, so did the PlayStation Vita ,so did the DS, so did the Gameboy so did every other portable in history of Gaming...

That didn't suddenly mean we stop getting console games.

I believe those teams have their own markets on other platforms and every single Generation all that's happened as that's been reinforced more and more so when you're seeing titles like a battlefield Battlefront Dying Light the division ,wildlands, Call of Duty, for Honor what have you, all get created on other generation systems all it does is reinforce that install base you're talking about a base of Gamers for each of those series might be in the ballpark of 10 to 20 million Gamers that have all made their decision to buy a PlayStation or an Xbox or a PC to experience Not Just Call of Duty but the other third-party games that have to offer they're not going to stop purchasing those to purchase a portable.

If they were ever going to do that they had multiple generations to actually do that but because the switch is not receiving the exact same games it's no different than the 3DS not receiving the exact same games or the DS or any other portable for that matter.

You need to understand being more powerful than the Wii U doesn't mean it's equal to the Xbox One or PS4.

Your previous post mentioning nintendo is fighting a lost cause is my post of the month and needs to be stickied to every Nintendo article that's mentions 3rd party support.

Nintendo chose the direction they're in, it is too late for them to ask for change from others not in line with their path. Nintendo must provide more 1st party games if they want to stick around for another console generation, or release a similarly spec'd console when PS5 and XBtwo release...assuming we see another xbox .

It's common sense, but you can see lots are lacking

Which dev teams in particular that you know of?

No, but that narrative is one he likes.

Seeing how they're re-releases, no they haven't been full of bugs
