For late ports of indie games that were first available on other console platforms? Nintendo promotes indies all the time too, but I've never seen any of the big 3 bend over backwards for late console ports.

New N Tastey had three videos on Nintendo's Youtube btw, so what he's expecting in terms of promotion clearly superceeds just that.

I'm not really sure what to make of Lanning's comments, since I don't know if they're true or not, but I don't think Nintendo does little to promote indie titles. I've seen great support from Nintendo several times, regarding indie titles. I keep on seeing so many of them on youtube, directs, and events. So that part just seems wrong to me.

The rest just seems to be his thoughts on certain matters, so they don't matter much to me. Also, using cards for a portable system seems like a better idea than CDs. Unless they did GC style ones, CDs aren't gonna fit in that thing.

Which shouldn't matter to an indie developer (the guy making the comments.) 

That's the joke right?, please tell me you're being funny because that's what we get from Nintendo, that's what we got in the form of excuses from both the company and fans who turned "please understand" into a joke of a meme.

I aboslutely dislike that mentality from both sides tbh.

Well, recent events suggest that he is blatantly incorrect about the whole day-2-date rule, as Nintendo have been showcasing plenty of Indies big and small that released much earlier on other platforms. I actually doubt that's a policy that Nintendo has ever had, Tbh. So far developers seem to be having very little issue with porting their games to Switch, so there's that.

Oh, and his comment about cartridges is so stupid as to not warrant a response. Same with that bullshit about 3rd parties not making money on the wii, unless you have a very narrow view of what qualifies as third party.

So, you actually think that all these 3rd party developers who don't make games for Ninty systems are at wrong and not the fans who defend Ninty and disregard reports of the developers. I find it highly unlikely that so many of them are wrong and fans are wiser than all of them.

Because that would mean people can't blame Nintendo for anything and people don't like to do that. Especially even to a point to just take two seconds to even be sure that what they are blaming and accusing Nintendo for is even true or not.

Not your intial point: ''Not unless it's a big indie title like Shovel Knight. New'n'Tastey is a late indie remake of a nearly 2 decades old game. I don't know what kind of promotion he was expecting''.

Well, if I was worth more than Sony and had shitty 3rd party support I'd be okay with that. And again, you have to be careful when choosing what titles are on Nintendo platforms. You can't just release anything on Nintendo and expect it to sell, now THATS not how business works. You have to do your own research and development. You never hear Rennegade kid, Wayforward, etc. whining about Nintendo because they have affinity with Nintendo. They create the type of games that Nintendo is known for and it's familiar to the Nintendo fanbase. If I was giving a speech to some vegans about how good beef and chicken are, and how they should eat it, wouldn't that be a waste of time? They'd want to hear about vegan foods, benefits, etc. I know it's a dumb analogy but it works, speak to your base. Don't expect to drop something on Nintendo and have it sell, especially on a console with 13 million users.

This dude is being an ass.

The Switch isn't powerful. How the hell is that Nintendo's fault? It's a hybrid which is still powerful considering the fact that it's $300 and a slim 6.2 inch device. The comment about Iwata's death is tasteless too.
