The Switch is not another Wii U!

Not really, of the existing Nintendo published titles releasing for 3DS this year, most of them are smaller, outsourced titles that were being worked on for awhile and before these studios had access to Switch dev kits.

You would have a point if these Nintendo published games started development in the last few months but thats likely not the case. Yoshi & Poochy probably got started shortly after the original Wii U version released so 2nd half of 2015, Fire Emblem Echoes probably got started right after Fates released so 2nd half of 2015, etc.

Here is the current Nintendo published 3DS lineup

Yoshi & Poochy's Woolly World-January

Mario Sports Superstars-March

Fire Emblem Echoes-April

Ever Oasis-TBA

Fire Emblem Warriors-Fall (also on Switch and just New 3DS)

Pikmin-TBA

None of these games suggest Nintendo is diverting significant resources away from Switch since they are primarily small, outsourced titles.

Its same to assume that Nintendo's internal teams have moved on to Switch development. Breath of the Wild, 1-2 Switch, Mario Kart Deluxe, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, Mario Odessey are all by internal teams & subsidiaries.

I'd still say all those resources add up. And Fire Emblem Warriors being multiplat means one less exclusive for Switch.

Do you really think a small studio like Good-Feel releasing a port of their 2015 title really takes away resources from Switch? Or that Switch would have another major release this year if the resources from the mediocre looking Pikmin game were used elsewhere?

Grezzo is a small studio and has never made a large scale HD game, they have only worked on small digital titles, Zelda remakes, and a low budget RPG. Them working on 3DS has almost no impact on Switch and their new game, Ever Oasis will likely only sell a few 100k. If they were working on Switch the game would either be years away or an insignificant eShop title.

Honestly none of those games are system sellers and are basically there to appeal to current 3DS owners who arent going to buy Switch right away regardless of its support.

Can you honestly say any of those titles are going to cause people to reconsider purchasing a Switch?
