Well now that you pointed that out he has been absent lately. Must be crying himself to sleep lately. lmao

I keep asking him.. right now he seems to be hung up on some Wii U franchises that haven't made it to Switch yet (Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect). But ignores the fact that other devs like Bethesda and Rockstar are jumping on board. I mean it's not like Activision, Ubisoft and EA aren't making games for the Switch, so there's always time to see as the install base grows which franchises they decide to port over.

but those devs you mentioned are still releasing software on the Switch, it's not like they have abandoned the hardware altogether. The possibility of those titles appearing is still there in the future. If anything the Switch is getting more developers on board since Rockstar and Bethesda are newcomers to the Nintendo party.

@Neo- "in terms of those series"

You might actually want to read the entire post first..

Who said they were not releasing anything on the switch? Who said they abandoned the hardware?

The switch might be getting developers but they're also losing developers as well because there are many teams that are not making games for the Nintendo switch that made games for the Nintendo Wii U like the teams that made Mass Effect Deus Ex Assassin's Creed what have you.

From what I'm seeing there are some that are trying their hand at making content for Nintendo but there's just as much that I've decided they were not putting specific series or certain teams on this system.

You can't ignore the people that are leaving the system in terms of specific development teams in series.

Nowhere in my argument that I ever say that the series listed meant that the entire publisher was abandoning the hardware...

In fact I go out of my way to specifically state in regards to those "series" to not have that misconstrued

I have no clue how you basically made up your own version of what was being stated in English. Although I believe there's always a possibility for anything to happen I believe there's a good reason why you're not seeing those series on those platforms in a lot of it has to do with their performance was just way too different than the other platforms which likely means the install base basically primarily exists on other platforms, there's only so many times you could try to make Call of Duty sell to 100 million people that only 2 million of which want to buy.

If they had to struggle with 100 million people it's very likely they understand there is no room for that market which is probably why the switch is not getting Call of Duty Assassin's Creed Mass Effect 2 Deus Ex and many other series because they tried on the Wii and wii u with some of those titles and realized that it's just not a market that response to those games.

Historically being a newcomer to Nintendo could be your first and last time developing on a Nintendo system as they seem to have one of the highest turnover rates in regards to developers moving on than any other game company I've ever seen. Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect were newcomers to Nintendo and look how long that lasted. Like I said in my original post they cannot keep pouring money into community that doesn't by their content.

Sales will determine future support.

Was it really? Well turns out the first one must have did pretty good enough for them to bring the second one.
