I think the power difference between the platforms and the fact they don't think they'll sell enough on the Switch to justify it are the reasons.

If switch takes off it will probably start getting more ports though like the Wii did.

I think it's too early to say 'none' - especially for things arriving in the holiday.

It's not so much a question of can you technically port to Switch - it's a matter of get the manpower to do it in a timely manner and of course considerations of 'will it sell'.

Publishers will of course prioritize the casual and family-friendly stuff. But you got to believe given the Switch's recent success there's interest in getting the likes of CoD, Overwatch, or Battlefront on the console in some kind of way.

The Atari 2600 didn't have these games and it did pretty well for itself did it not?

The switch does not really need those games though, if some of those made its way to switch it'll only have dismal sales.

Why do we still insist that Nintendo needs Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Assassin's Creed to be successful?

Games like those sure sold a lot of Wii Us! Ohh wait...

And how many of those were released the same time as their PS3/X360 counterparts, and didn't suffer from any frame rate/graphical fidelity issues, or lacked features?

Besides, that's not the argument I'm going against is it? Goodnightmoon was implying that those titles are system sellers (thus it wouldn't bode well for the PS4 and X1), when they weren't even system sellers for the Wii U (and let's be fair, nothing was).

My point is, first party libraries only tend to make a significant difference when the third party playing field is practically even. Any third party title that is out for PS4 and X1 and not on Switch is the same as a first party exlusive as far as a consumer choosing between the PS4 and Switch is concerned.

But they are Nintendo exclusives, like Horizon and Days Gone By to the PS4.

I hope 3DS games are ported to the Switch at least, cause I see a possibility of a drowght as well

Destiny released with a metascore in the 70's. It was an unbalanced mess of a game much of the time.

Star Wars Battlefront also released with a metascore in the 70's. People want the original BFII not this other game.

Red Dead actually looks good.

So your list has one good game coming out this year that the Switch won't have. Meanwhile....

BoTW = One of the highest rated games of all time.

Splatoon 2 = sequel to shooter of the year.

Xenoblade 2 = sequel to one of the best RPGs ever made.

Super Mario Odyssey = sequel to the Mario franchise which has been blowing minds for decades with games like SMB3, SM64, and Galaxy.

i feel like im in 2008 all over again

Edit: good to see you still the same ole Leo J now if we could get Soriku back
