I have a question, do you feel the 3ds/ds/gameboy line had 3rd party problems?
This next part not towards its just my observance, everytime I see a post that talk about 3rd party with Switch, all I keep thinking do people not count japanese developers when they say it will miss 3rd party games, because they already said they coming out with games, since they just got developer kits this year, some of these games will be coming in 2018, while the ones already completed coming this year. My question is do people only count western developers as 3rd party developers ? because from what 3ds/ds developers say about moving to Switch, I do not see the Switch having any 3rd party issues, just like any of their handhelds in the past and with it getting more indies than any system Nintendo created in the past, its obvious the system will have a lot of games. It is already 2 steps ahead of Wii U, the Wii U never had a NBA 2K, WWE game that was built for it that also came with every feature as the other system even the preorder specials. The next big thing, Nintendo have all their developers together instead of split apart, in the past each year would have 7 3ds games every year with 4 Wii U games, so now with the Switch phasing out 3ds and Wii U, all 11 games Nintendo made a year for both systems can now come to 1 system, so having a game drought will be unlikely like the Wii U.
I just think the system is getting 3rd party games, now if you prefer more western 3rd party games, be specific and say that, because saying no 3rd party make it seems like no one making games for it, but the truth is, everyone making games for it, it is just that the games from western developers is not there.
If you wondering where I got the idea Nintendo phasing out the 3ds, it comes from their developers, the first developer to say they not making any more games for the 3ds was the fire emblem team, all future games going to the Switch, and its common sense to know others will be doing the same
if you think Nintendo making a 2ds Xl make the 3ds line last longer, then you wrong, Nintendo also made a Game Boy Micro, after the Nintendo DS came out, so they always do something like that, it means nothing. They can say the switch a home console all they want, but japanese developers already know its a handheld if you read some of their interviews
so I ask again, what 3rd party will it be missing, because from watching 3ds/ds it will have a great life |
That as quite the dissertation, although Nintendo has confirmed they will keep supporting the 3DS in 2018 aswell.
The third party problems are tied to power problems. The lastest triple A third party games that are pushing the industry on the ps4 and X1 just won't be part of the switch. So, the third party titles will always be the more modest titles that are less intensive. So far i have seen mostly shovelware, i have not even seen anything so far that may be comparable to 3DS third party support. So, no, i disagree. I think third party isn't too different from the Wii U so far.
