Oh, I thought you meant winning back third party support on Wii U.

NX is less of a long shot I grant you, but I still can't help but feel that Nintendo won't do what's necessary to win back support.

I think the likes of Electronic Arts, Activision, Ubisoft, Warner Bros will show up and each have a couple of launch games available (even if they are just half-assed, rushed ports) because they don't want to lose out in case NX becomes a big success. Further support from that point will be based on how well the console and their software sell.

It's just like with 3DS & Wii U, the big western publishers were there at first, the hardware didn't sell very initially and their software wasn't moving much so they bailed out with the exception of kid/family friendly games.

Also Nintendo does have strong relations with many Japanese 3rd parties, the likes of Square-Enix, Atlus, Sega, Koei-Tecmo, Capcom, Level-5, Bandai Namco, Platinum Games, all seem to enjoy working with Nintendo so I assume NX will see strong support from these companies.

If they offer just a few token shitty ports though, they will not sell, and support will stop, we saw this with Wii U.
