I didn't!? 7 in-house games (for now) in 1st 9 months is not good enuf!? Blind man could see that Switch 1st 9 months shit all over full Wii Us 1st year, that's clear evidence. Fact is that Nintendo Digital event or new Nintendo Spotlight is just bigger Nintendo Direct, it's basically ND with bigger announcements. So yes, if you doubt about "focus 2017. games" you have very clear example with last ND how they handeld "focus" and what "focus" means for them. Like I wrote several times to you, beacuse 2017. games are games that will be out in near future (1-6 months), not in 1-2 years, so they want to have more infos and to promote them more because they will have much more time for 2018. titles later. Yes they can have even specific NDs, but E3 is biggest event, hell they even spend hole last E3 just to promote Zelda BotW that was Switch launch game. Of Course, why they would need to speak about their 2018. games in January 2017. when they can talk about them at later date!? Last thing they want is to repeat Wii U mistakes were they announced games years in front. Suda and Atlus are not Nintendo. Guess what, FE is anncued at Fire Emblem ND, not in January event. They did not failed promise with 3DS, 3DS had just slower output of games at start but 3DS received huge number of great games, even something similar could be said even for Wii U even it had shorter life span from obvious reason. Again, you need to realise that Switch is just 2 months on market, and only one month before 1st Switchs E3, and not even in half of 2017. I would understand you if we are at end of 2017. but we are not even in middle of 2017. and E3 yet needs to come. You sound like E3 passed, Nintendo didn't announced not single 2018. game at E3, and like there is no any evidence that Nintendo is working on any 2018, in other words you sound absurd, you do realise that you are only person here ho doubt about Switch 2018. in terms of games. |
Zelda = port
1-2-Switch = new
MK8 = port
Arms = new
Splatoon 2 = new
Mario = new
Xenoblade 2 = new
From a in-house development standpoint, it's 5 new games specifically for Switch + 2 Wii U ports.
Am i forgetting anything?
No, E3 presentations aren't just better NDs. Both Digital Events show that they handled them differently - not to mention they save the best announcements for E3.
"hell they even spend hole last E3 just to promote Zelda BotW "
And you think this was their plan all along? What did they have left that significant? Paper Mario CS.
Again, have having games to promote this year - like all years - doesn't mean you can focus an E3 presentation on 2017 and 2018. Your argument is not good enough to convince me that you are right.
If they only had the presentation i could agree with you. But they have the showfloor, treehouse and a lot of time for NDs to focus on 2017 games. There's no real reason to sacrifice showing more of 2018 games in benefit of focusing primarly on 2017 games during E3. There just isn't.
And you are right, E3 IS the biggest event. So, it makes perfect sense to show more of what's coming, instead of using a ND to do that.
"They did not failed promise with 3DS, 3DS had just slower output of games at start "
But this is exactly where they failed.
Of course they got better with time, but it was promised one way and happened in another way.
When they left Wii pretty much living of 3rd party titles for it's last 2 years it was so that 3DS wouldn't suffered a game drought, yet it happened.
The problem is not if we are close to launch or at the end of 2017.
The problem, as i see it, is them not using the stage (January and E3) to be more open on 2018 games.
They can put on stage companies talking about or revealing 2018 games, but somehow it's absurd if i ask the same of Nintendo? I can't see the logic in that.
