the support is so-so. If we're talking BIG third party titles? like Assassin Creed, most EA stuff, Bethesda stuff (outside of Skyrim), Activision stuff, etc- obviously it doesn't have a lot big third party support.
but there is obviously plenty of support from small and middling third parties.
The reality is no one could honestly expect big triple A titles to be at the Switch at launch, those companies are going to wait and see what happens before they start supporting the device hard.
if anything I think the underwhelming thing though is the Nintendo FIRST party support. For the Wii U to have been dead for like 2 years I expected a lot more. I mean if they threw in some unused IP (like Metroid of F Zero or Pokemon Snap) and released an extra game randomly in the summer or Fall, then I think that would help.
I'm really hoping they have some last minute surprise at minimum at E3 because as it stands with NEW games, from Nintendo first party, you basically have Zelda at launch and Mario Oddy. in the winter. Mario Kart is a port, and Splatoon is basically a port with new features/content (that's the reality).
so that would be my bigger concern at this point.
I do not think Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Arms are anywhere near enough to explain where Nintendo has been putting their time and resources the last few years, plus Xenoblade could end up delayed.
I think there will be massive expectations on Nintendo come E3, let's hope they've had the bigger, longer picture in mind this whole time and deliberately pushed a number of titles back towards the holidays to build hype strategically or something. Again, it comes down to the Wii U being dead for a few years, the idea that they certainly should have a lot of software upcomiing and ready for the Switch
