| heavenmercenary01 said: Is this the beginning of the end for the switch? with the arriving of the next gen and the uncompatibility of the switch with most of the games of this generation, this makes big third party games pretty impossible to be announced.Thus, nintendo is compelled to do its own games, but how much would they be able to make? considering that a decent game may take 3-5 years to develop, aren't we able to question about either they already shot all their bullets or not (despite smaller franchises that may come or not)? isn't that one of the main reasons that Nintendo is cancelling the directs as a concept? Gameplay is certainly good, but being highly underpowered compared to your generation will oblige you to do your path alone without big franchises of third party that will go solemnly to other consoles and that might have filled the vacant dates. The question here is How many aces are left up nintendo's sleeves to save the remaining years of the switch and will they be able to rescue themselves from drowning now that they will be soon two generation late in terms of harware power. Wii did well despite its limits, hope switch continues to perform well. |
Nope, you're completely off. It's because of Covid-19.
Also, as the frequency of Directs has gone down, the volume of release per month on the Switch has gone up. As I say in all of these threads where people jump to wildly incorrect conclusions, Directs aren't very useful as a concept, and can go against business goals since they occasionally sink stock prices.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
