| Kai_Mao said: I think Nintendo should double down on more AA titles in this sense, the AAA third party developers (with the exception of Square Enix) do not appear as interested in developing new titles for the Switch. I mean look at Capcom. Besides Mega Man 11, I believe most of Capcom's support are just ports; controversial ones at times. That's a far cry compared to the 3DS support. Tokyo Games Show and previous shows have not giving me much confidence in the Japanese developers to develop new games for the Switch, even though its doing really well. Hell, even though the Switch is dominating Japan, I think there are more games coming out on PS4 (Japan-only and other games) than Switch. Which is unfortunate because there is an opportunity that most Japanese developers are not taking advantage of. |
Barerely anything was announced at TGS this year, so you can't use it as proof of anything. The September Direct and E3 were much better representations of third party support from Japanese developers. Also keep in mind that the PS4 is 5 years old while the Switch is 2. Game development takes a long time, so the Switch will seem port heavy early on. The good news is that Japanese developers already take it seriously, with most non-AAA games announced for the Switch alongside a PS4 version, some outright exclusive.
