" Switch recieving a few updated ports"

A FEW? lol...
Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, Mario Maker, Smash Bros, Xenoblade, Skyrim, Pokemon Stars

And Breath of the wild is a WiiU game.


All those game are great, but this is certainly worrying that they make up almost half of the list of Switch games we know about...

The rest is really not mind blowing either, all the rest are sequels. Of course I'm really excited for BGE2, but I've been waiting for this game for 15 years.

For now, all this lacks ambition, where are the new characters? New IPs? Where are the third party AAA?

We'll know more on the 12th, but if I had to make my choice of buying the switch in 2017 based on the list of games we have now? My answer would be : "I'll wait at least until 2018"

There is nothing mind blowing about the Switch at the moment.

That again has literally nothing to do with what you said.

Where are the droughts at?

well if you add all releases possible that doesnt change much. Sure ps4 and xbox one got more games in general. but many of thise games arnt very popular or interesting. 

Some of your mentioned games (like Raymen Legends) were even released on wii u as well, but you hadnt listed them in the wii u lirbary but in the ps4 library.

Als you just count wii u exclusives, but tons of third party games in ps4/xbox ones lists?

Thats was your statement:

According to wikipedia there are more then 500 games released on the wii u so far. That meanst in general 2 new games per week (4 years lifetime).

So were are your wii u droughs now?

I believe there will be plenty for everyone. Ports for those not wii u owners, and new games for us.

It has 500 games when including small digital releases, something i did not include with PS4/XBO list.

According to Nintendo latest financial results, Wii U has 109 retail games in Japan, 159 in America & 150 in Europe as of September.

Even if you exclude the late ports and unpopular titles from the PS4/XBO list, it is significantly better than what Wii U has.

I include 3rd party releases in PS4/XBO list because those are what sell PS/XB consoles and i listed Nintendo exclusives in the Wii U list because those are what sell Nintendo consoles.

I dont even get why are you are trying to argue this, its almost agreed by everyone that PS4/XBO have a steady flow of big releases while Wii U does not.

Really? Thats crazy.

Are you surprised by how low or how high?

How catastrophically low it is.

Ya its pretty bad, especially when considering that about half of them released in the first year.

Japan-47

Americas-85

Others-79

Without even trying or wanting to ever get close to a complete WiiU collection, I have owned more than 1/3 of the entire library. Have sold some. Thats insane.
