Japanese devs are on board because of the portability, but western devs I think are bullshiting. I bet only Ubisoft is gonna give it a real chance, everyone else will be done after one late inferior port unless Nintendo moneyhatted. I'd like to be wrong of course, but I'm keeping my expectations in check.

Yeah Western devs unfortunately will probably bail out after the first year or so like Wii U. 

Nintendo fans are picky as fuck too, they turned their nose up at perfectly good PS3/360 ports on the Wii U and cited reasons like "well the frame rate is like 2 frames less on the Wii U, developer waz lazy". 

LOL, if that's going to be the attitude for Switch ports it's going to be ugly, because much larger compromises are going to have to be made to get a lot of games running on the system.

I think Nintendo should just agree to cover part of the costs for FIFA/Madden NFL/NBA 2K/Assassin's Creed/COD games on Switch if it comes to that. 

At least you'll have sports + 1 FPS IP + 1 third person action IP that way. 

Yeah, I think there's somewhat of a cycle going on with 3rd party support with Nintendo.  No easy answers to it, really.
