Just because you say 41 games release some of these game are hardly worth mentioning 1-2-switch; Labo stuff; Arm; Splatoon games; Mario Kart Live; Mario Golf: Rush. In Nintendo case the remake a quick port that can feel the gap between new release especially for new switch owner. But, for someone that don't want to pay full price for a remake or interest in it these gap are getting longer and longer. Especially when you big release is a game or genre that you don't care. I never really enjoy Bayonetta 1 or 2, therefore I couldn't care less about 3. if BotW 2 get delayed next year that would suck. 

I don't intend to play Legends Arceus; therefore, do not have an opinion on it. Good for every one that have been asking for this open world Pokemon game for a long time. I guess!

You seem to forget that the Switch itself in term of todays spec is a low resolution and graphical quality system. Actually, the switch limitation might actually make it much harder to make high quality games due to spec limitation. 

It's pretty obvious that they scrap a few games project at Retro; I don't think we can say that studio as aptitude since they haven't been able to release a game in 9 years. It sad since they were one of the studio that made game that cater to a more mature audience at Nintendo. 

I'm not going to comment on the subjectivity argument. It's too personal and defeats the purpose of what we were arguing about. 

I don't really see what the specs have to do with what we were discussing either, to be honest. 

I don't think that a developer should be judged for what they haven't done rather than what they have done. Retro studios is a great developer historically. We don't know what's going on with them, but that doesn't mean they are inept. Not unless we have sufficient information to claim so. 

Anyway, I think I've made the point that I want to. You're free to disagree, of course, but we are starting to get off track and I'd rather end it where we are. 

Well you started your entire argument on 69 games release by Nintendo on Switch. Disregarding remake and remastered and how well these game where received. You have to remember that compare to PlayStation and Microsoft there not much 3rd party support to support the platform. Of these games if they aren't well received it make huge gap on switch between major Nintendo release. Good that Capcom, Square Enix and Ubisoft are still supporting the console with unique exclusive. 

Specs: Nintendo really struggle from SD to HD switch during the WiiU era. I think this is amplified for all of Nintendo studios during the Switch Era since lower budget easier made game on 3DS are gone. Resulting in longer development time for all the games.  

Retro last major release was almost 8 years ago and they only took over and rebooted Metroid Prime 4 in 2019. There is obviously a cancel project between 2014-2019. We will soon see how good they remain with the release of Metroid Prime 4. 

Anyways, let's agree to end it here!
