Forums - Nintendo - Will Third Parties sabotage Switch games and ports like they did with the Wii and Wii U?

But yes... this Street Figher II thingy looks like a turd.

Just dont buy it.
Shouldnt reward this shoddy work.

I'm buying it. Why should everything have to be done perfectly? I'm still going to have a lot of fun playing this on the go.

I cant believe this.... this is going to be the new matra of rabid nintendo fans right?

"so what if its a old crappy port, with a addon that sucks, and Im paying 40$ for it...... its on the go, so its fine"

If I have enough fun with a game to justify the $40 .... sure why not? Can I put my PS3 with a seperate LCD in my backpack and play SF2 like that? No? Well then?

Lots of people bought Bomberman and had fun with it. Good sales encourage third parties to work better, having a snobbish attitude towards everything is toxic and is not going to get you any better games IMO.

High standards are the problem now?

To a degree yes. Nintendo fans should realize that supporting other types of games helps their overall ecosystem in the long run. That doesn't mean buy a bad game, but if its a solid game and you're freaking hung up on like pixel counting or someting ... give it a rest IMO. 



You are exaggerating with "sabotage".

Sabotage or lack of incentive due to low sales paired with weaker overall hardware, much smaller storage, strange format choices and main controllers that require extra effort that likely won't even pay off in order to stand out?
I go with the latter, the developer incentive remains the same for most 3rd parties on Nintendo platforms, especially outside of Japan and the typical handheld franchises. It's not so much sabotage as it is the culmination of market factors, hardware and tech limitations and decades of strained relations due to past transgressions and failure to accommodate and adapt to 3rd parties and the industry in general in a multitude of ways.



Wii sold 101m so I don't see how 3rd parties sabotaged Wii.



We are seeing some positive trends for Switch and third party sales.

Bomberman R, Disgea 5 have over-performed I would say, which bodes well given those are two pretty niche titles. NBA Playgrounds seems to be selling well on eShop too. Blaster Master 0 has done OK at 80,000 downloads, Wonder Boy is probably going to top that.

I think Ultra Street Fighter 2 will do OK too.

The eShop is also a big difference, it allows developers to put games on Switch without the big cost of a physical release and no retailer to have to share profit with.



Only if they release it a year or more later with missing features. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

A poorly implemented mode on a Capcom game isn't a great example. They released a broken Street Fighter 5 on PS4. Were they trying to sabotage Sony? I chalk it up to ineptitude on Capcom's part in an effort to justify a full priced release of a 20+ year old game. It's not like they shoehorned motion controls into the entire game. Way of the Hado is a mode best left ignored, and likely will be.

They released a terrible (at launch) port of USFIV on PS4 as well.

So what we can conclude from this thread is either:

a) Capcom try to sabotage Sony twice as much as they try to sabotage Nintendo

b) Capcom is inept with the Street Fighter franchise in recent years
