Yeah, but like someone already stated, you can't really blame them after what happened to Wii U.

Well of course I cannot "blame" them, per se, as they are free to make their own choices regarding what platforms they develop on. I cannot take the "WiiU disaster" argument seriously though, when platforms that have fared worse or have had a smaller install base (PSVR, Dreamcast come to mind) were supported more heavily. Even the Wii, at its inception, was a far riskier product to invest on, yet they (Japanese companies) were on board at the time, even if not at full force.

Actually if talk about Capcom specifically, they released only few games on Wii U, actualy they currently releasing much more games for Switch than they did for Wii U.

I really appreciate their honesty and attitude towards the platform. And I am still baffled that Bethesda has outdone companies like Capcom, Namco Bandai and Konami on the Switch. I mean what were they thinking?

Konami generally releasing only few games even for PS4 this gen, so its not point only about Switch support. Namco Bandai is giving solid support to Switch even if dont talk about 100% support.

The difference between early adoption and adopting a Wait and See attitude. Bethesda liked what they saw and put contingencies into the id Tech 6 engine while getting acquainted with Panic Button , the others waited to be sure the Switch would be a hit first. Personally, I wouldn't blame them to much after what happened to the WiiU.

Some companies got burned from the Wii U, but Capcom was not one of them. They had two noteworthy games on Wii U and one of them was a 2-3 year old late Monster Hunter port that they themselves said was a smash hit. If they were really surprised then that explains everything. Konami hasn't released many games at all in the last few years. I'd say Ubisoft, Activision, and Warner Bros. can say they got "burned" more than anybody else can. A lack of support from EA is pretty unprecedented. 

Agree.
