The Switch’s third party support will eventually improve as time goes on and it continues to sell well. I don’t think most third parties and indies can no longer ignore something that’s selling this good and attracting mainly a demographic (teens and young adults) that will be attracted to their games. Plus the Switch appears to be less complicated to make games for than Wii U and supports most of the modern game engines (i.e., Unreal 4 and Unity). Time will tell.

Plus the Japanese developers will more likely make games for the Switch or do Switch/PS4, especially since the console is putting a stranglehold domestically despite the PS4 having a more established install base. I mean, Splatoon 2 is the first 2 million seller on home consoles since Wii Party back in 2010. Even Final Fantasy, Tekken, Street Fighter, Persona, and Dragon Quest, popular franchises in Japan, could not come close with their latest mainline installments on PS4. So even with Monster Hunter World coming soon, I think the Switch will continue to grind it out despite a rocky start this year due to shortages (on both hardware AND software).

All I want for now on the Switch is DBFZ and Soul Calibur VI. There appears to be demand for these games on Switch and I don’t think they appear to be too complicated for the Switch to handle, especially Soul since it’s running under Unreal 4, unless there are weird complications between PS4 and Switch running said engine.

None of them like Reggie. He double dips, he smells like petroleum jelly, and he sheds like a Welsh Corgi--and ALL his hair looks public in nature. You see one of his quills in the spinach dip and you have no idea which part of his body it came from.

You should explain 'special architecture'. Gamecube, Wii and WiiU all used PowerPC, just like Xbox 360 and PS3. They also used normal graphic cards. So... what's special about the architecture?

I actually could live with getting all games six years late. That way all bugs could be patched.

*looks at Skyrim*

Okay, scratch that thought.

I'm not into Call of Duty at all and the Switch would be the last place I would want to play it.

You need to take in account huge difference in user base between Switch and XB1/PS4 when you talk about sales of those games. Obviously you didn't pay attention on Switch news, actually most 3rd partys (2K, Ubisoft, Namco Bandai, SQ, Capcom...) said they are satisfied with sales of their games on Switch and that they will announce more games for Switch, few days ago we had Nintendo France said that EA is very satisfied with Fifa sales and that they said they will bring more games, also few days ago Bandai Namco said that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for Switch sold more than 500k already and that actually passed Steam numbers, so I wouldn't pay attention too much on VGChartz numbers. I am pretty sure that Bethesda this month when they have quarter results will also say they are satisfied about with sales, especially because Skyrim is actually best selling multiplatform game on Switch in US in 2017.

For the record, multiplatform Switch game dont need to sale same like on XB1/PS4 in order that 3rd party is satisfied with sales, hardly that any big party have expectations they will have similar numbers on Switch, but they can make quite profit even with lower sales, and all pointing that 3rd party games are selling good and much better on Switch than on few previous Nintendo platforms, for instance it seems that Fifa on Switch fastest selling Fifa compared to any other Nintendo platform (it even sold better in Japan than Fifa on PS4 despite huge difrence in instal base). And point is simple, games on Switch have extra value beacuse they offer full home console and full handheld play, for instance you can bet some people will buy Switch only to play games like Skyrim, Doom, Dark Souls...in full handheld mode, and that wasnt case with any past platform, and thats why 3rd partys are now selling better on Switch compared to previous Nintendo platforms, and 3rd parties also seeing that.

I actually think that most 3rd parties decided to support Switch with much more games only last few months after they realized that Switch is seling great and that 3rd party games are selling good on it, and porting of course can take time, espacily developing brand new game. So we will have much more 3rd party announcements how time pass in any case.

The system is weak compared to the other 2 and the difference will be even bigger in 2 years when next gen arrives. Developers are getting ready for it which leaves less time to port stuff.

To be fair, Far Cry, Tomb Raider, And COD aren’t exactly the sort of third party games Nintendo fans give a bare ass about. Even Switch owners that do are likely not going to buy them on the Switch. Maybe Tomb Raider. I could be wrong though, on-the-go support and motion controls could make these games more interesting.

Dragon Quest is coming, we can probably assume a Monster Hunter game and it will sell better than the PS4 one.
A missing franchise Nintendo fans are likely going to like, though, is Final Fantasy. Potentially Fallout, as Nintendo fans are having a bit of a love Affair with Bethesda.

Keep in mind too, a game that’s appeal is primarily about high-end graphics, and features otherwise shallow/repetitive gameplay, is probably not a good fit for the Switch.

Well you could say same for La Noire, Doom, Wolfenstein 2 and Dark Souls Remaster, but other hand Switch owners are not typical Nintendo fans, full portable mode for games that were just on home consoles is game changer for some people.

The way the Gamecube/Wii GPU worked for example.

Or going with an extremely low clocked triple core PPC while everyone else was shifting to more cores and x86 Nintendo stayed with that three cores and lower clock than everyone else. Even a quadcore 1.6GHz PowerPC might have helped. x86 likely even more.

And no, those PPC 750 derived cores whwen't exactly like the Power based CPU's of Xbox 360 and PS3.

Then there was an own API. At least they didn't go for a graphics architecure no one else used like with the 3DS.
