But that is series is gone - same with Batman Arkhm series - my 1st and only Mass Effect game was ME3 - why didn t Nintendo see to it we had access to the trilogy - I might have rather them just not offering it at all with out the opportunity to play the others (re the Mass Effect series ). No console can guarantee all 3rs party games but it is clear 3rd party is an afterthought at Nintendo- no matter how much they said otherwise going into the launch of the Wii U, Nintendo is just not committed to 3rd party |
The only way Nintendo will ever get third party support is basically if they go to third parties and ask them what GPU, CPU, how much RAM, etc. they want and then basically build that box at an affordable cost. They'd also have to market more to teenagers/adults (as this is the demographic third parties make their games for primarily).
It would have to be competetive with a Playstation 5. A Nintendo console just slightly better than a PS4, released several years after the PS4 is basically just a Wii U-2.
And ... I don't think Nintendo is willing to do any of that. Fusion will be their way of basically telling third parties to f*ck off and try to carve out their own portion of the market.
