It's weird seeing you without a Kim Possible avatar. Please Switch back.

The fact that it sold nearly half a million copies on a disaster of a platform is a testament to how much higher the lowest bar is for Nintendo first parties compared to third parties but why should you care since this thread isn't meant to be taken so seriously ? (I'm not generalizing, it's just a plain truth Nintendo gamers don't show ANY sort of favouritism to third parties) 

Ideologies are not a race.

Yet making jokes about any religion (essentially an ideology) is seen as racism by most

No racism or reverse racism, Ninty gamers are simply weird.

Uhmm...que?

*grabs tiki torch*

"Third parties will not replace Mario!"

"First off, the thread title needs explanation."

lol that's both an understatement and one of my favorite opening sentences to a thread.

Anyway, while I understand the intent of "reverse racism", the phrase itself is flawed as what it describes is, in fact, old fashioned "racism" just like any other.

As for your question I'd say that people (myself included) are simply happy to see third party support actually making an effort on the Switch, and for the first time in ages I actually find myself wanting to buy third party games for a Nintendo platform.

I think the key difference here is that, as a result of how compact and portable the Switch is, it's entirely reasonable for games to look better on larger and more expensive hardware. The thing is, when you're playing it in portable mode those games generally look wonderful in the hand (in my experience it's been about the most impressive handheld gaming experience I've ever had) and, while they won't match the visuals of the PS4 Pro/Xbox1 X/PCs, they have so far had mostly quality ports that have visuals in docked mode which only trail slightly behind what the original PS4 is capable of.

That's what, I believe, has many of us excited. If this were some similarly-priced console-only nintendo platform that received crappy third party ports which were clearly inferior to the other options, people would probably stop buying those games for Nintendo platforms as I largely did with the Wii and Wii U.

Instead, the Switch is offering a unique experience that's still capable of quality ports, with the visual gap only being very obvious with newer, larger, more expensive hardware (Pro/Xbox 1 X). If said visuals were all that mattered to me I'd buy these games exclusively for my PC, but more goes into these decisions for most people than just graphical considerations.

Caught me off guard initially too. I've a bad habit of taking no notice of people's account names and come to know them only by their avatars and signatures, so it can be hard to keep track of who is who lol

Awwwwww... I feel honored :p
