Lots of indie devs, in particular those that work on mobile games. Making games for a tablet that can hook up to the TV is good business for them, specially considering their games aren't hard to port.

Actually, those mobile devs are probably not interested.  Their games are built around the freemium dominated market and poorly suited to the premium dominated market of dedicated gaming platforms.  Mobile games ported to Steam for example have done pretty dang poorly.  And of course not a single solitary one of those mini consoles that used the Android marketplace have taken off or really appealed to these devs because, again, entirely different marketplace.  And I high, highly doubt there's any Android marketplace or App Store marketplace on the Switch.  Like, I *very* strongly doubt it.

I still think the Switch needs the support of apps. It's a tablet, and it's going to need, at least, the social apps to make it appealing as a tablet for the casual gamer interested on it. Plus, small PC indies port their games to the Vita frequently, so there would be no reason to not do the same with the Switch.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
