Staring into the abyss of a world where Nintendo has no games scheduled for release. Edit: The Time of Darkness Has Arrived

Ok, let's forget reused codes and whatnot.

MK8 and Zelda are ports.
Doesn't matter if Zelda released at the same time on both systems - we don't even know if the Switch version delayed the release of the Wii U game. It probably did.
Zelda Switch was an afterthought. Had the game been built exclusively for it, it wouldn't have released in 2017.

So, ignoring, remakes and reused assets, the difference between Wii U and Switch is just too small.

How games were reviewed is irrelevant do this specific discussion,  i'm sorry. This thread and discussion is about what and how many games Nintendo is bringing to the market.

I get that you love the game and it also happens to be the best selling 3rdparty game. But we are talking about Nintendo games, not 3rd party games. If we extend this conversation to 3rd party games, then… there's no really sense for this conversation.

I don't know who develops Kirby, but besides that, not a single game you mentioned was developed by Nintendo's internal teams,as far as i know.
And that is exactly the problem: they stopped using their own teams to support Switch, but the problem is, in terms of numbers, you just don't see a big change going from having 2 platforms, to just having one.

"I don't care whether it's Nintendo's own studios"

But this is what i was talking about in the first place; This IS about Nintendo's own studios - and how Nintendo has been managing them.

Look, i get it that all you want is the games, but if we are talking about how Nintendo has or hasn't changed, we need to look at what they are doing.

When people complain that a game is a port, what they are really saying is "that game is old, so I don't care about it". For example: Tropical Freeze, and Bayo 2 haven't been talked about much because they were ports of old games. But BotW wasn't an old game at all when it released on Switch. So that whole line of complaining that "it's just a port" loses meaning, for BotW. 

Yeah, technically it's a port, or a simultaneous release. Either way it's a new game that can only be played on a Nintendo system (barring piracy). 

So, ignoring, remakes and reused assets, the difference between Wii U and Switch is just too small.

Sure, if we are only counting games made directly by Nintendo the difference is very small. It's basically Arms, Splatoon 2, BotW, Xenoblade 2, 1/2 Switch, and Odyssey vs NSMBU, Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, 3D World, and Windwaker HD. I don't agree on only counting games made directly by Nintendo, but I see your point. 

  i'm sorry. This thread and discussion is about what and how many games Nintendo is bringing to the market.

Is it about how many games Nintendo brought to market, or how many games Nintendo developed themselves and then brought to market? Looking back at the OP it seems to be about how many games Nintendo has announced for 2020, after Animal Crossing's release. Pretty sure OP had no intention of excluding exclusive Switch games just because they were being developed by an outside studio. So games like Poke'mon, or Luigi's Mansion wouldn't have been excluded by OP right? 

@NightlyPoe Right?

How games were reviewed is irrelevant do this specific discussion

I think it's pretty relevant. After all, isn't this a thread about lack of hype, because Nintendo hasn't slated enough games post AC, and held a direct about it? If Nintendo churned out a bunch of games scoring in the 60's, for almost an entire year, you'd better believe that I and several other people on this site would be beyond livid.

I mean, do you really think this thread would have magically gone away, if Nintendo had announced 10 new (but horrible looking) games for 2020?

The game was ported from Wii U to Switch.
Again, had the game been built from the ground up for Switch and it wouldn't have been released in 2017.

Thankfully for Nintendo, a lot of the work was already done!

I personally read the thread as Nintendo's own games being brought to the market.
To me that's what's most important. That's why i mentioned before how they went from supporting 2 devices, to just 1.

If we could other games paid by Nintendo, games by studios that just support Nintendo, then things would be different, yeah. How much? Don't know.

I said that this isn't about reviews, because it really isn't.
Be it Nintendo's own games or not, this is about what games are coming - or not!

You and everyone would complain about Nintendo losing quality but that's a different discussion: quality in games, or few games, wouldn't erase the fact that it's still few games.
What people are complaining about is, for now, lack of support, not quality support.
