Why does every Nintendo thread about one RPG recently have to devolve into "Wowoozaaaaaa, Switch is heaven for RPGS a.k.a. paradise!"

We've already been over this. No, Switch is not suddenly magically better than consoles that are 6+ years old. It has already taken a bit longer than expected for Switch to become an RPG machine, considering that for almost two years now we've heard the mantra "It will get all the Japanese support, it's the best, no one gets more Japanese support then me!" 

That being said ... it also is shaping up to be a pretty great RPG machine. If you include niche eshop releases, it's probably growing at a faster rate than say 3DS, even with some of the official Japanese support being slow (which I imagine is still somewhat close to the norm for a new system). I just don't get the bragging or trying to denounce older Nintendo systems ... let's just wait. 

That's an easy question to answer. There are multiple threads going around how third party support on Switch is lackluster, so downplaying is countered by overcompensation.

What's not easy to answer is why some people think that Wii had better RPG support than Switch. Wii didn't have many RPGs because the console was shunned by third parties. Virtual Console would have to be included to achieve any semblance of a varied RPG selection, but even then Wii's lifetime can't compete with Switch's first two years.

And yes, Switch's RPG library is growing faster than the 3DS's.

Yeah ... I do not get the Wii stuff(?). I don't think it had that many RPGs but it did have a decent selection iirc. I don't know, I wasn't old enough at the time to even know what an RPG was. 

What I think is a little bit far is the comparisons to outclassing the 3DS and PS4

But yeah, Switch is far outpacing them, it just seems rather slow when you actually own one and have to decide what to put your money towards
