It's an incredible day when people are accusing me of "pushing an anti-Nintendo agenda". I've literally never cared a lick about any other video game company. But sure, you do you. This extreme defensiveness is totally going to do wonders. Everything is perfect and any potential criticisms need to be shouted down instantly. Makes tons of sense.
Ports of old games do not cover droughts for most gamers. Like I said in an earlier post, if you didn't own a Wii U, this year is probably great. I did. I already played all of these games. Despite that, I bought Tropical Freeze again anyway because I think it's such a good game, but I've already played it. It's not the same thing as new content. Ports of games from other consoles are of course a bonus, it's never going to be a negative, but again, if I wanted to play them I would've already played them elsewhere when they first came out.
As for indies, I can count on one hand the amount of indies that appeal to me, and they're called indies for a reason. They aren't system pushers or system sellers. When I say software drought, I mean that there's a lack of compelling titles on the console that will drive hardware. If you disagree, sure, go ahead. But throwing lists around blindly of the titles being released means nothing. Are any of these titles effectively driving sales?
Nintendo say they're going for 20 million Switches sold this year, up from last year which had a Mario Kart port, a new Mario, a new Zelda, a new Splatoon and lots of more content. Looking at the lineup, that seems incredibly unlikely. Maybe you disagree? Give arguments instead of just angrily throwing lists of releases around. If any release from any company counts, I don't think any system has ever had a software drought. But we're talking about games that actually elevate the console and make people want to buy it.
I concede, again, that the ports of Wii U games will do that for people who never owned a Wii U. But beyond that, I'm not seeing much this year? I could be wrong, but I certainly haven't been convinced so far in this thread.
