That was... empty! Empty of everything that could build a solid future for the Switch.
- There's no effort put in first party games, Smash Ultimate is SmashU ver. 2.0, FE 3 Houses looks incredibly poor in terms of graphics even compared to small-budget PS4 RPGs
- No Bayonetta, no Metroid Prime 4
- Paywall for Mew is just shameful
- 3rd parties aren't interested at all. I've been saying that 3rd party sales haven't been good on Switch and no one believed me. Here's the result today : just 3 new games including 2 ports. End of year is barren as hell.

Seriously, how can anyone say that Switch can have sustainable success now?

Dragon Ball FighterZ, Daemon X Machina, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Super Mario Party, Starlink, Fortnite, Octopath Traveller... Yeah, pretty grim.

 

1. If you want to dislike Nintendo IPs, that's fine. But at least be informed when you do it. There's been a number of changes to the mechanics that any fan could explain to you, but I think I'd rather let you squirm trying to figure out what they are. Here's a hint: they talked about it in the direct... If you watched it. So no, SSBU isn't SSB4. Also, Home Console hardware will always yield better graphical results than handheld harsware, so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove with comparing PS4 and Switch graphics.

 

2. Not talking about Bayo3 was silly, but MP4 is still clearly in early development stages. If they showed anything, it'd be a pre-rendered trailer, and you'd still complain.

 

3. Mew has always required special procedures to acquire, and just because he's only available when purchasing something you should probably get for the game anyway doesn't mean he won't be at GameStop later.

 

4. This last point is just ignorance. If anything, it would be clear from the trailer reel that 3rd Parties are more interested now than ever before, what with Dark Souls, FighterZ, and whatnot all arriving on Switch.
