| sethnintendo said: Main difference would be that the Wii launch line up was far superior. Far more genres and games represented. I wouldn't get a Switch till Holiday 2017 if that. |
Is that a true statement?

(sort by launch date to see launch titles)
Using NA as the comparison region. Keep in mind Wii is region locked, NS is not. So for NS you could get any game you want to order in.
1. Wii launched in November *just* after certain yearly titles had just published, NS is in March which is many months after those games were relavant. Thus it makes sense they are clearly not here, but could/should be come NS first holiday.
2. 22 NA Wii luanch titles vs 13 NS when you include region free or 10 for NA only.
3. 50% of Wii's are low-end titles related to moves/TV/etc. None of NS are.
4. Both have Zelda as top end title. Though, I think BotW is driving bigger excitement than TP did.
5. Wii had killer mini-app, Wii Sports as a pack-in. NS has no pack-in and 1-2-Switch is not generating Wii Sports-like excitement.
6. Wii has some action, adventure, puzzle, sports and an FPS title. NS has action, adventure, puzzle, racing, RPG and strategy.
Sorry, but looking at the titles, I see NS has having a wider variance of types of games in I expect a better number of quality titles as well (once they launch and we can properly compare). The only thing missing is a big sports and FPS title. But the strategy and RPG titles compensate for that. It is true that big sports and FPS will likely be on switch by holidays if that is what you're waiting on.
