Depends what games you mean by third party support. Demanding western AAA games will not be coming to Switch. New Battlefield or Battlefront, Fallout 5 or TES VI, Mass Effect or Dragon Age, Witcher 4, GTA 6. These big power-hungry games won't be coming to Switch. Doom was a blessing, but even that type of third-party game won't be coming to the Switch in a couple of years. The Switch's power deficit is only going to become a bigger isssue for these AAA western developers with time. |
You cant know that, evre western AAA game can be ported to Switch, only question is how much will be downgraded, but if games sales and there is profit they will offcourse make effort for Switch port. Saying that "Doom was a blessing, but even that type of third-party game won't be coming to the Switch in a couple of years" doesn't make any sense because Bethesda in same time announced Wolfenstein 2 that's more demanding than Doom for next year.
Switch will have much more 3rd party support and announcements in 2018. in any case, including western AAA games, you can bet in that. Most of devs that didn't release games on Switch until now waited to see how much successful Switch will be, other that gave same support promised much stronger support for Switch. Switch will probably be Nintendo platform with strongest 3rd party support from SNES.
