Ok then let me list the absence of no man's sky, rocket league, and minecraft.

Just those 3 indie age appropriate games are enough to make this list seem laughable. This isn't me showing off the lack of mature titles, this is me showing off the lack of quality titles.

Typically when you make a list, you try to include only the best. It seems like you just copied and pasted everything that will be coming to both systems, regardless of quality.

Adventure time: Finn & Jake investigations, A-Train: city simulator, Garfield kart .......... really?

And yea, there are a couple of decent indies here and there, but they are too far, too small, and too few in between even if this list list was for just one console

I never said this was the be all, end all of 3rd party titles, I know Nintendo is missing key titles that could sell well to their audience, I think games like Rocket League or Minecraft would be great additions to Nintendo devices.

A-Train is a series that is 30 years old and has over a dozen entries spanning over a dozen platforms, it's obviously seen as fun and quality to its target demographic which brings me to games based on kids movies/shows. They are aimed directly at children, not games that are suitable for children but aimed at everyone like Minecraft or Mario Kart, games made for the sole purpose of appealing to children. People like u or me do not find them to be fun or quality titles but as long as the target demographic (children) does than that's all that matters.

If u go back to my original post u would see its about the TYPE of games to expect to appear on NX, which is Japanese titles, kid/family friendly titles and indie titles, I simply used the 3DS/Wii U 2015 lineup to show the TYPE of games that Nintendo gets supported with, it wasn't an attempt to show Nintendo's 3rd party support is superior to others.


You're original post mentioned that your list would provide a consistent stream of new releases. I responded thinking that the "consistent stream" you talk about is laughable at best for third party games that span over 2 consoles.

If those are the TYPES of games that the NX has to rely on for third party, then the NX is in trouble. I'm not arguing that the list you gave was inferior to anything, I'm arguing that the NX needs a larger list with larger titles that are not limited to indie games or TV/movie to video game adaptations.

That list is literally missing an entire demographic (say age 13 and up), and it is also missing critical games for its target demographic (minecraft and rocket league)

I would use that list as an indicator that Nintendo needs to change something up or risk another wii u failure
