Well, of the games I listed only Alien Isolation has a PS3 version and to be frank it's really quite poor on last gen so i wouldn't recommend playing it there.

Trust me, I too don't like that so much of Switch's library is recycled old rope from last gen, but to be fair it does have a fair few current gen conversions by now, they're just not all AAA blockbusters. I'm still really glad though that I get the chance to play games like Doom 2016, Wolfenstein II, Hellblade, Witcher 3, and soon Outer Worlds and Doom Eternal.

I'm sure it won't stop there either and there will be more modern ports we don't know about yet.

Thats my bad. I thought starlink and sonic forces were multiplat too. As for indies, u can play those on a drastically cheaper computer. I buy consoles for AAA titles. Dont get me wrong, definitely credit to the devs that have ported titles like the ones I mentioned, but criticism where its due as well to the plethora of games missing. Again im just attempting to explain my where im coming from with my pecimism tho.

 On a slightly related note its even worse for me as I dont buy digital AAA games. So wfstein, doom and mk11 I ended up passing on or playing elsewhere. And yeah its def a "1st world problem" but I yearn for a console that provides me 2 AAA single player games a year. And I dont mean just any 2, I mean having enough available so that there are 2 that I wanna play. While also having the 4-5 10do xclusives that I wanna play. No more owning multiple consoles... Oh well. Life goes on right? :)

Fair enough. I generally prefer major/AA/AAA games over low budget indies too. Still, stuff like Starlink, Warframe and Outlast 2 aren't exactly low budget and have decent production values even if they're also not quite AAA.

The good news is that third party support for Switch seems to be increasing; in 2019 it got more current gen multiplats than in 2017 or 2018, and this year we already know of two big ones, with there likely being more as yet unannounced as we're still only a quarter of the way into the year.
