This is funny considering that Switch is dominating the top 10 or 20 of the software charts these days, and yet "it has no games", and most indie games aren't even recorded on the charts since they are usually download only so hmmmm, reality seems to contradict this guy's view.

Those games are mostly 2017 games and smaller 2018 games. In a year of noteworthy releases Mario tennis wouldn't have been the top seller anywhere.

As a Switch owner, it was collecting dust post SMO but recently I got Octopath and it has me hooked. But I wouldn't have gotten Octopath of Switch had any big release this year.

It shouldn't even be a point of debate at this stage, like when someone mentions the system lacking things to play it this drought of games I feel like that person has actively gone out of their way to make a post about something they don't know about, it would be akin to me giving my views on period pain based topics.

Games listEdit

There are currently 1385 games on the system

 

But then we get the narrative of games not counting unless it's the yearly release of call of duty, battlefield or Madden. I find it a sad time for  gaming when those annual sports titles are what people rather see on a system than fantastic titles like hollow Knight and dead cells. I guess times have changed on here for some people.

No, indie games aren't the same as AAA games. Say what you want of Dead Cells but its no Dark Souls and can never fathom to be. There is more you can do with high production values and in a 3 dimensional space than a 2D game with minimal production values.

This fantasisation of annual games is hilariously bad. You sure people aren't thinking of big amazing AAA games like Spiderman, God of War and red Dead Redemption 2 when they point to the lack of such big games on Switch? I'm sure you do but you are deliberately framing in a way so that you have an easier time arguing with them.

Same thing as PS4 has no gamez. I guess when a console has no gamez on these boards then they become a really successful console.

PS4 atleast had a plethora of multiplatform games. Also exclusive. Its 2nd year Infamous Second Son was amazing and Driveclub and LBP 3 were still big games, and it had Dragon Age Inquisition, GTA 5 and Far Cry 4 which were way better than previous gen console versions. Switch has a bad port of Wolfenstein to its name in the 2nd year, and Octopath while a good game wouldn't stand anywhere in a year of notable releases.

You mention dark souls over games on the switch ... Even though dark souls is launching in the next month or two? I'm confused.

 

Also switch didn't have big name games except for Mario tennis? Fortnite is arguably the biggest and most popular game in the world right now and it launch on the switch at e3
