Forums - Nintendo - (Opinion) Switch Launch Titles

How much do you wanna bet Third Parties said "nah we're good" to launching games next to Zelda? On the funny side, I'm pretty sure konami, activision, and Ubisoft are going to be happy with only having 4 other games on the Switch to worry about. They may actually sell pretty decently (if the console sells good enough).

To tell you the truth, when the Wii U launched, I actually wanted to get a good amount of the launch titles (which I think it was over half of the 20+ games) though I believe I could only afford 2 of them (and they had a deal, buy one get one half off) which I picked up Zombi U, and Ninja Gaiden.



Around the Network

There will be almost 0 third party support compared to the first few months of the Wii U.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I don't know, I kinda think the opposite. It would help in the splurge buying. "I'll get the switch, and zelda, and a controller, oh and I guess I'll get that game over there".

The more research they do into the switch the more they would see the third party games. It is free advertising because of Zelda.

 

The Wii U had a bunch of games, didn't really help them that much haha.



Its a desert. 3rd party and Switch is like saying Nintendo and Power. Neither are happening.

And that's a shame. I was expecting heavy courting of mobile developers but we haven't seen anything.



Is there even a list of launch games for Europe...?

Dude, what's your problem? You constantly come on to parrot this same statement. We get it already. 



I think they're waiting on the holidays.



It should be noted that the japanese launch lineup is much bigger.I mean, they are getting about 7 more titles than the west(so far), and that include Dragon Quest Heroes I and II that,while they had those titles for a while, it is certainly something.

Personally I think Zelda alone should make the launch fine.I mean, people when buying the Switch will pick up one or two titles, and with the masterpiece that Zelda probably will be, it will keep them busy until ARMS and Mario Kart 8 launches, and who knows, that Heroes port could come early too(DQ Heroes II launches on April on PS4 if Im not mistaken)



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Wish there was at least one other game I wanted at launch. Wonder why Ultra Street Fighter II isnt ready yet.

From the games announced for the Switch, which would that be?Just SF II?
