Zelda, Donkey Kong, Bayonetta, Smash, Mario Kart, and Hyrule Warriors are rereleases. Now when you wrote your list you included games that CANNOT be played now. He made a valid point, comparatively, we would like to see fresh games not offered anywhere else that do not follow the same formula of including Mario in so many games.

Now Octapath, Xenoblade, and Metroid(later) are nice. Be honest, to a gamer that has more than one option, how many NEW experiences does the Switch offer?

The exclusives on Switch are pretty good unless you’re picky as heck and only water gritty ultra real shooters.
I am having a blast with games like Sushi Striker, Arms, Splatoon 2, Fire Emblem Heroes, Mario Odyssey, Octopath Traveler, Xenoblade 2, Kirby, and some pretty darn good indies and multiplats like Rocket league, Dragonball Xenoverse 2, implosion, Fortnite, wizard of legend, phantom breakers, nine parchments, Doom, Skyrim (1st time playing it) and many others. Most people who are hating on the Switch just already had it in their minds they would hate the system before even giving it a chance.

It is not that people hate the Switch, what they hate is the fact that everything it does has already been done. Because Nintendo, is the only real reason that people even care, it's like when a disabled kids reads a Dr. Suess book. I would be more excited if I didn't already play most of its library on my Vita, PS4, XB1, 3DS, Wii U, and Steam 2 years ago. They treat EVERY release on the Switch as though it's some grand affair, and we hate that people act like they can't see it then treat it like those games have NEVER been available before. JS

Xenoblade is not everyone's favorite, too much anime (bad ones). And let's be honest for a minute, ... you list games that have been regurgitated for decades.

Then you add the Wii u ports coming this year and a smartphone game as well .. ; while you two are technically correct, I have to take sides with prince1234 here ...

Nintendo has only Mario and Zelda/metroid that have a worldwide appeal. Smash, Kirby, donkey ... just the same N64 games with fancier graphics.

Other than Mario Zelda or Metroid, Nintendo got nothing that interests me. And I feel that this narrative/prerogative is shared among many ... good secondary console, but it will never be the main machine.

Not a single one of those games are for smartphones lmao. Keep reaching...still pretty far but this downplay os obviously important to you!

FYI, Xenoblade 2 is highly successful and sold more than any other entry in the series. The more you know. --------☆
