If Sakurai works on another game instead of Smash 5, it will be 4-5 years before Switch gets a Smash Bros. If EAD Group 2 goes to work on Splatoon 2 right away than it will be years before Switch gets an Animal Crossing or vice versa. If Breath of the Wild remained a Wii U exclusive than Switch wouldnt get a Zelda until 2021 or later. If Pokemon Stars releases as a 3DS exclusive in 2017 than Switch wont have a mainline Pokemon title until 2019. If Switch doesnt get a bunch of the Nintendo big hitters out in a timely manner than its possible that Switch will face the same fate as Wii U and once these big franchises do finally release it will be too little, too late. Having 3D Mario+Smash Bros+Mario Kart+Zelda+Splatoon+Pokemon in the first year will ensure that Switch starts out strong and doesnt become another Wii U. |
People werent interested in getting a wii u for those games so I doubt they will be interested to get a switch for the first games. nintendo really should do something new and dont repeat failures.
Btw: If Nintendo had released BotW in 2015 (like planned) and hadnt port the game, it would be very possible to release a new zelda game in 2018 (Use same/similar engine will allow to creat an as big game within 3 years).
Also those ports costs development time. GTA 5 took 1 year to get ported to Ps4/xbox One. Twilight princess HD took 1,3 Years to get ported to Wii U.
So we can assume that Mario kart, Splatoon, Smash, Mario Maker ports and co will all easily take 6-12 month to get ported from wii u to Switch, which means that games like a new Animal Corssing, a new Sakurai game, a new Pokemon game, a new zelda game and more as all at least pushed 6-12 month behind. So we will have to wait even longer to get really new games.
Tbh i dont really care much anyway, not interested in the switch. My iPhone is as powerfull and can play similar games (in the future probl same third party games). I better get a 20 bucks bluetooth controller and im completly fine. I have a wii u for my nintendo games (and the switch wont do anything really new there, the ports are making it even worse).
In general i plan to move most of my gaming to vr anyway, its the future. We just need full fledged games comming to psvr and then flat gaming will die very quickly.
