Simple Image of Switch's Software

The lineup is weak at best. Nintendo has to up their game, it's clear that they rushed up the console to replace the Wii U. The launch month is extremely weak. Hell, PS4 has more noteworthy software arriving that month and it's just a normal month for it.

Most software there will launch or is already on PS4/X1. There are some old games and old indies. Way too much weak titles. The good games of 2017 are Zelda, Mario, Splatton 2, Mario Kart, Xenoblade and maybe a Pokémon. The first 2 are new games, the next 2 are basically remasters, Xenoblade is a niche title and Pokémon is not confirmed.

They better have a great E3 lineup (I believe they will) or the Holidays will be a total onslaught.

This is clearly a soft launch.

As if PS4 had such a good launch in terms of software. Most games back then were also available on the PS3/XBOX360. How do you even know a game like Arms won't be good?And so what if Xenoblade is a niche title? So is Gravity Rush 2 or The Last Guardian. You also forgot about Fire Emblem Warriors. 

Old indies? The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth + will release first on the Switch and only later on PS4/X1. Fast RMX is also releasing in March at 1080p and 60fps with over 30 race tracks and is exclusive on the Switch. Rime will release in May, alongside the PS4/X1 versions. Shovel Knight is releasing alongside the new campaign DLC update (Specter of Torment). And Yooka-Laylee is also releasing in 2017. Sonic Mania is also releasing in the Spring, alongside the other versions. Lot's of people are hyped about it. Syberia III will also release on the Switch alongside the other versions. And the best thing about all of these games is that they will be portable on the Switch, which is a big advantage compared to the PS4/X1. I'm sure all of these games will also get high scores, so it's not like they're low in quality either. They're also quite varied in terms of genre: a roguelike game, a racer, two adventure games, two 2D platformers and a 3D platformer. 

And there are other cool games coming to the Switch that are exclusive (at least for now) like Project Octopath Traveler.
