Forums - Nintendo - In terms of Indies, Nintendo's support is best this year

Bandorr said:
The title reads as this is the best indie support Nintendo has gotten.
If so - yes that is probably true,

It also removes all the unnecessary comparisons to other platforms. So good job on the title change.

I'm pretty sure the thread title was updated.

If I was an indie I would also go to the platform with the least amount of competition.

And what console is that? Surely not the one where third parties don't sell becuase userbase always prefers first party content.

People can't buy 1st party games when they already own all 3 of them.



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

Reading this thread there seems to be a clear divide as to how people would evaluate the sentence "Nintendo's support is best this year [???]".

I would take it as the Switch being a very good place for independent developers to thrive due to there being less competition from the big publishers, as this is the impression I got by talking to actual devs.

However many seem to be twisting it to try and one-up other platforms (really the PS4), which I feel is unhelpful in creating positive discussion around indies.
I understand you enjoy the Switch a lot, but this is a terrible way of communicating why that is, and a disservice to the developers making it so.
These games deserve better than to be reduced to pawns in some silly console war.

It's been said before but the thread title has been changed. Before that there was no ambiguity on what was being said.

Not a good change then, huh? Doesn't seem like much of an excuse for petty fanboyism 



So Golf Story is selling quite well, despite minimal advertising. Wouldn't be possible on other consoles or PC. It has also been getting good reviews.

Didn't PUBG have minimal advertising? It's at like 13,000,000 sales.

Putting forth arguments about why the topic title is incorrect = petty fanboyism?

It's prominently placed on the front page of most European Nintendo sites right between Super Mario Odyssey and Minecraft... how much better can the advertising get?
