It's okay - to say, what the situation looks like. Let's analyze the situation with an overview (survey) - would be nice if we had a normal discussion. Many people always say "wait, wait" - but.. The E3 has again shown that many big or important new games do not appear on Switch. The games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or someday Grand Theft Auto 6 do not appear for Switch, everyone know it. But also other great or important games of developers seem to play no role "on the nintendo switch". Examples:

(After the) E3: These new games do not appear on Switch.

"The Evil Within 2 (2017 release) , Assassins Creed Origins (2017) and Far Cry 5. The new Need for Speed, Call of Duty and Pro Evolution Soccer for 2017. Code Vein, Marvel vs Capcom (2017), Monster Hunter World, DragonBall Fighters Z, the new Metro-Game, Darksiders 3, hack//G.U. Last Recode, Tropico 6, Gundam(2017), Skull and Bones, Anthem" and many more. important games like "Persona 5" or "Ni No Kuni 2" (both 2017) remain PS4 exclusive. This year, Destiny 2 and Star Wars Battlefront II will available for other consoles. I can remember well - as many n-fans said, "Wait for the E3". Is it so hard to be honest? The situation of the big 3rd party-games or especially graphically strong games on switch... dont looks good. Especially because... (your thoughts? Write it here.)

What is with the future of multi-games ? How looks it ? That's what I think:

The technology of the games is getting better, the focus will be on PlayStation 4 (Pro) and the new xbox one - for the future. Also 4k plays a role for the next years. In 1-2 years there will be even more games like Horizon Zero Dawn, which are big and have incredible details + strong graphics. Only if a stronger switch hardware (upgrade) 2018 appears, it could run better. New games - which appear someday, like a new "Battlefield" or "Mass Effect" - are already excluded on the switch. The reasons are obvious: the switch hardware is too weak or the developers are not interested. This problem had nintendo many times, this is nothing new. Yes..this sounds hard, but so is the situation - even in the future. What do you think are the biggest problems? Share your thoughts and choose a answer in the poll. Let's analyze the situation.

Biggest issue is how anyone expects a game like Destiny 2 to be on the Switch

Even if Nintendo's console was a powerhouse, I doubt Destiny 2 would be on the system xD. 



Who thought most demanding AAA third party games were coming to the Switch? Please provide some examples of these conversations you were having. Some AAA third party titles will come to the Switch, but certainly not most of them. The Switch and Nintendo have been and will be successful regardless, as Nintendo can get by with their output alone now that the software teams are unified for one platform.

Anyway, I suspect the Switch will have better third party support than the Wii when all is said and done. That is good enough, especially when there is extra appeal to play the third party games on the Switch for the sake of it being a handheld.

Hardware is not a big issue for all except the most demanding titles anyway. Most games don't push the PS4/XBO to their limits and are designed to be scalable, unlike in the past. Hell, even the Wii U got a crappy version of Watchdogs and the Wii got CoD games. The question is whether or not it is worth the effort to port the games. Depending on the title, it might or might not be, but the gap between the Switch and PS4/XBO is much smaller than the gap between the Wii and 360/PS3 for reasons besides hardware specs, so if the Switch is successful some games will come.



Dude, there is more to gaming than mainstream titles, you know?

This is something that has been elaborated a million times and it's absolutely true, yet some people just don't want to understand it.



It is Much Too Early to Worry About Switch 3rd Party Support



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

They are not on Switch because it is Nintendo... there is pressure from Sony and MS.

But maybe Ms relationship will now work this way... everything on MS will be downloadable to Switch



Switch!!!

Switch wont get many AAA 3rd party games, simply because of the hardware being too weak compaired to the others.

Its the same thing that happend with the Wii U.

However this time, nintendo has a unifed platform and will hopefully mean more games for the switch.

They just need to stop supporting 3DS and focus everything they have on the switch.



The only people who seem to have a problem with Nintendo and third party games are Non nintendo gamers. Us nintys gamers are completely fine having two consoles, we know this you know this 3veryone knows this
