Still think Switch has poor support?

Yes 184 43.19%

The only game I'm interested in is Mario Odyssey as buying Zelda for wii u. The rest of them seem like old games, mini games, indie games, inferior ports, minor updates of wii u games or simply new games I'm not interested in or would buy on a different format because of greater technical performance and lower price. I don't think there are any decent fps games or realistic racing games which are huge genres. Also you can't really consider games that make use of the internet for multiplayer unless you are planning to subscribe to Nintendo's online service which I suspect most won't. Lastly there are many games that simply aren't priced competitively on Switch and simply aren't worth such a high price like Arms, Bomberman and 1-2 Switch.

 

So yes definitely easy to vote no to having good support. From my perspective the wii u line up was much stronger and had many titles I wanted to play.

 

These are the wii u launch games that actually were available on launch day not the year ahead in the UK.

I've bolded the one's I thought were decent to me personally.

Assassin's Creed III

Batman: Arkham City - Armored Edition

Ben 10: Omniverse

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Chasing Aurora

Darksiders II

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two

You're making a lot of assumptions about games or services you haven't played. And I suspect most people here will subscribe to Nintendo's online services. It's free at launch anyway. They still have to detail everything that the service will encompass. And why are you trying to spin indie games into a negative? Those are some of the highest rated games this generation like Shovel Knight and Stardew Valley.

About nine of them that I'm interested in for 2017. Seven that I'll almost definitely buy. Two that are preordered. So, not a bad start. Although, if you're not into Nintendo games, not so much.

Give it a year, it will have an amazing library. I can see it already being the best system for JRPGs!

I'm not a big indie game fan and they are pretty much available on every format due to their low technical requirements. I like the big ambitious games like Zelda. I'm guessing that there won't be enough online games to justify paying for an online service, I could be wrong but I suspect the majority won't pay for it.



puyo puyo tetris in 2018?



Games I will buy:
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2
- Super Mario Odyssey
- Lego City Undercover
- Fire Emblem Switch (2018)
- Project Octopath Traveler (2018?)
- Dragon Quest XI (2018?)

Games I will probably buy:

I think you are making some big assumptions about value of some of these games and the online service. Personally, I see bomberman as a full game and priced as such. I'm willing to see Nintendo detail out the actual final feature set of its online and its price before rejecting.

As for the FPS and racing genre... you should've included sports in there as well. That summarizes the basic casual gamer experience.

FPS - nothing, but I think we'll see that at E3 when the yearly titles that get new versions in Fall are always detailed out.
Racing - It has RedOut (which looks great) and a MK8 variant with a ton of content over the basic WiiU version. While I recognize this isn't realistic racing, it is racing that actually surpasses the realistic genre. Plus, Nintendo is not going to get Forza or GT, so having these arcade style racing meets this genre.
Sports - So far we only see FIFA and NBA2K18, but FIFA is huge on its own. Additionally, EA uses the same engine for its sports titles so I would bet at E3 we'll see Madden and other sports titles announced.

Reading into what you wrote, I think my waiting for E3 option would have been a better vote.
