I totally understand if the lineup doesnt appeal to you and i may have been a bit too defensive, i just see alot of people disregard various games for silly reasons all the time so maybe i took out my annoyance on you, sorry for that.

But one thing i did want to ask, you said Nintendo keeps buying more and more studios, what studios are you speaking of? The most recent i can think of is Monolith but that was like a decade ago.

Thanks. I don't know if they bought Next Level, but they at the very least have them under exclusive contract. And we know that Retro expanded, but they've been entirely silent for over 4 years now. There are a lot of studios Nintendo work with on an exclusive basis, even more than there used to be.

They dont own Next Level but a few years ago they did say that they are working exclusively with Nintendo, they released Metroid Prime: Federation Force in August 2016 and dont have much experience with HD games, the only HD retail game has been a mediocre Captain America game like 7 years ago so i dont think a Switch game in 2017 or 2018 was ever very likely, hopefully we hear something from them next year.

As for Retro, ya it seems weird that its been over 4 years and all they have done is a port of the game game from 4 years ago. A bunch of weird rumors about them, some say there is internal strife going on and some say they have a weird Star Fox racing game so who knows, again hopefully we hear something from them later this or next year.

But ya alot of the studios Nintendo works with are small and have limited HD experience, studios like Alpha Dream & Grezzo have stuck back and continued to make 3DS games that are remakes & reuse assets and i assume (hope) they are also beginning to work on Switch titles concurrently.
