Many Nintendo gamers are also pc overlords (one of the many reasons we love Nintendo over the other two because it isn't redundant and inferior to be pc due to the exclusives). The hat being said, if a game comes out and isn't some cheap port on the NX I would prefer it there to keep most of my gaming in one place and to have a TV to look at instead of a monitor.

I'm not going to support third party games just for the sake of it. If I'm interested in playing a certain game, then of course. Doesn't matter if its first, second or third party as long as the game looks fun.

Depends on what NX really is and if the games perform better/similar/worse than the other versions.

Although I buy most multiplat games for PC, the PS versions of some games have added value like crossbuy, crossplay and portability (f.e. Broken Age, Grim Fandango Remastered, Day of the Tentacle Remastered)

So if NX allows to play small to medium sized games on the go (NX handheld) and they are crossbuy/crossplay for NX-home console + NX handheld, I will probably buy a lot of these games for NX.

I agree.  Nintendo needs a hook that will entice people to buy 3rd party games on the NX instead of the PC or the PS4/xbone and a unified library/cross-buy with a NX handheld form factor would do it.

Considering the answers on the Zelda winning E3, that most users here have another console or PC besides their Nintendo console... and that most people buy the best version of the multiplat they can I think that NX will be another case of very low support on 3rd party.

There is a lot of unanswered variables here.

Will I have to play the third party game with a gimmick controller?

Will the NX version be better than the PS4 version?

Will the third party game have better features (amiibo support) on NX?

I will get the NX primarily to play Nintendo games. Depending on the presentation and control scheme of the third party game on NX will be a deciding factor for which system to use for third party games. I don't know what the NX is yet so how can I make a third party game decision.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

If they are good. For example, if FF15 came to the NX, I would strongly consider it.

If 3rd parties release games of my interest, sure.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I'll support any good game.

I'll also prioritize the NX version over other versions because I would like to increase the chances of getting more of them in the future and realize my dream of only having to buy the Nintendo console for all the games I want to play.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Only if it appeals to me. I won't be buying sports games, mature games, etc. but if they release something like Dragon Quest 11 or Psychonauts 2 for example, I'll buy it.
