He's likely representing a large amount of third party developers today but all it tells me is that developers have become worse through the years in catering to different systems, rather than it being a fault with the co sole makers.

I can't believe how ignorant the Nintendo fanbase on this site is. This is not about Titanfall 2 if it did flop or not. It's about the fact that the Switch starts to sound very similar to the WiiU story when it comes to third-party support. And this is not the first developer to share this opinion within a couple of days. I don't get the Nintendo fanbase, it's like you guys want the Nintendo products to flop.

you're wrong though.

Because you're spouting these maxims from The Holy Book Of Nintendo as if Zelda and its game design were some divine examples of  perfection. Explain what you mean. What is so unique about Zelda, that every developer should learn from it? Do you mean the thing where you have to go around revisiting the same locations over and over again, because you get the necessary items incrementally later on? Not a big fan of that, personally. Is it something else? Is it something that's not a matter of personal tastes?

EA was. The studio gets payed either way.

They make AAA titles. I'm sure they can get another publisher interested in a 2m sales game. Just won't put the same backing in it that EA did.

But honestly... its EA's fault for making it compete with their own other product, battlefield.

Still... this has no relevance to what he is saying about the Switch, wich is the purest truth.

They don't have to cater to individual console makers anymore. EA doesn't need to bow down to Nintendo. Hell not even Sony or MS if they don't want. They could just as easily put it on Origin. Same with SE, Ubisoft, Activision CD Projekt Red, etc. The days where Nintendo gets to rule with a iron fist is long past. There are options now and 3rd parties are the ones in control. Sony and MS know this and that is why they bow down and make sure that their systems meets their demands. Nintendo refuses to play along and therefore get left behind.

Nintendo is the one who needs to get with the times. Its already too late for Swiitch. Hopefully Nintendo gets with the times next gen. Because AAA 3rd party won't be on Nintendo unless Nintendo makes real hardware.

I'm glad that Nintendo's dominant days have passed. That developers have become lazy and incompetent enough to not being able to create software for several different consoles with different architectures is just as troublesome as Nintendo's position in the 80's and 90's.

You can say it however you like, but Nintendo getting less games is never good.

Well its evident not enough core Xbox and Playstation gamers are intersted in those experiences on Nintendo platforms. Nintendo isn't even intersted in spending the money it takes to go head on with Xbox and Playstation. So they look for a different audience.

At the very least I feel Nintendo should make an effort to get notable 7th gen games ported to Switch. That's relatively cheap to do, bolsters the libary and making those titles portable is unique.

It's a shame, Titanfall 2 is probably the best shooter since Quake III. Lol at all the passive aggressive responses ITT. Respawn are like one of the best Western devs out there, they're like Platinum, they may not produce commercial hits but their games are fun to play AF.

I think the reality will be that the only 3rd party Switch is gonna get are those niche, weird Japanese devs who are on Vita. Technically it's a great fit, Switch is what the PSP3/Vita 2 would be in terms of power.
