ikr! To insinuate that Nintendo killed Iwata...that's just a terribly worded thought. For developers who whine about Switch's power, they aren't going to succeed on the platform anyways. The ones that understand the Switch and its appeal and make new engaging experiences on the platform will succeed. Sure, it isn't the most powerful device on the market but find a device that's portable with the software that it has and you see that Switch is in a realm of its own.
It'll be okay, I'm highly optimistic on the device, developers just have to adapt to what sells on Switch. Which is kind of a little much to ask for I can see, but if it gets to that point just don't support the platform. I'll stand by the idea that Japanese and Japanese styled games will sell best on Switch. Hell, the industry was basically built on Japanese software, to think that Switch can't sustain itself with Japanese software is insane. Of course you'll have games like Minecraft and Rocket League, etc. which have a wide appeal but on Nintendo certain games just don't sell. Oddworld seems to be on eof them.
