The ones your tastes are too narrow to give credit to, obviously.
There are posts everywhere of people with 30+ physical Switch games and many more than that digital, but you guys just keep on ignoring them.
It doesn't help your argument.
Switch has plenty of games worth getting.

What are these games? Tell me @wonderfulmonkeyman. Zelda, Mario, skyrim

Seriously?! PS4 version then...

I am slowly reverting back to buying all multiplats on my PS4 unless I NEED the portability for the game. Other than that, I guess I will be using my Switch for Switch exclusives from here on out.

I am about as optimistic as they come when it comes to concessions for portability and waiting for the Switch versions of games. However the delayed release dates are starting to become a real problem for me. This does not affect me much as I was passing on it anyway, but there are many others that do and the news of it all is putting a bad taste in my mouth.

Yes I know they need the extra time, yes I know it is still early in the Switch's life...but a lot of these games should not need to be delayed. Dark Souls is a PS3 game FFS, and seeing how LA Noir was day and date with the PS4 remaster, there is no excuse for games like this.

It is really becoming appearent that 3rd party games are an afterthought on Switch to make a quick buck from the rapidly growing install base, and I cannot support that.

I still love my Switch and will still have a ton of games to play on it, but I will say that it is good to be a multiplatform gamer so I do not get caught up in these unnecessary delays.

If things improve in the following years, I will revisit the topic. However as it stands for now...

Switch=Nintendo exclusives
PS4=Everything else

*opens a lawnchair, opens popcorn, and sits down and awaits Nintendo fans to lecture me, and everyone else to tell me they told me so*

That's what we do. Get all major third party titles on PS4 and the Switch is for Zelda, Metroid etc.

They are making it so you need the Solaire amiibo for co-op.
