So far NSW third party support looks a lot like the first 24 months of Wii U. You just change Ubisoft/EA for Bethesda. Nintendo got a decent deal with Bethesda and that's basically the only big deal Nintendo got so far. |
I think the big difference between Wii U & NSW 3rd party support is that Wii U support started out pretty solid but after a year it basically dried up, on the other hand NSW support started out pretty slow but has been ramping up as time goes by.
At this point in Wii U's life it basically just got the annual Skyanders, Just Dance & Lego games, a handful of decent indies and Watch Dogs was the only big hardcore game on the way. Even annual sports titles stopped coming after the first year.
With Switch we are seeing massive indie support, mid-size Japanese games are starting to come at a decent pace (Inazuma Eleven, Yokai Watch, DQ Builders, Valkaryia Chronicles, YS, Shining, Dark Souls Remastered, etc) along with solid western support (FIFA, NBA, Crash, Wolfenstein, Paladins, Fortnite, Ark, etc).
The 3rd party situation is looking far better for NSW than it did for Wii U after year 1.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
