Let's suggest that Metroid and Pokemon are no shows for 2018 (pretty easy assumption, I think). And then we have the idea that there are a ton of 3rd party ports releasing on the system. All signs seem to be pointing this direction from Overwatch to GTA. Isn't this a positive for the system in some way? Doesn't this encourage Nintendo gamers to lay down some money for things non-Nintendo? Aren't there enough quality titles that we all haven't experienced (both Nintendo and non-Nintend gamer alike) to tide us over until 2019? It seems to me if Nintendo comes out with guns 'ablazin and release 4-5 major Nintendo titles, many of these 3rd party offerings won't have the opportunity to succeed. Afterall, gamers don't have unlimited funds or even time to enjoy every product from their favorite console. This could be the strategy that helps to realign Nintendo fans with the bountiful offerings of the 3rd parties for the first time since the SNES. |
Well, Wii U gamers maybe, but to most Nintendo gamers their whole line-up is relevant, there's still atleast one 1st Party IP game every month. Still that's an interesting perspective and you're not necessarily wrong, a big reason I got Stardew Valley is the lack of Animal Crossing afterall. I don't think the difference will be too significant though, certainly not while most 3rd party games are ports, but we'll see.
