Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Kotaku: Switch Has Three Times As Many Games as Wii U Did At This Point - And They're Better

VGPolyglot on 06 February 2018

Simple, when you sell well you get more games. The Switch is probably already ahead of the Wii U in lifetime sales, and even though the Switch hasn't been out long we can already see the effects its sales have had in terms of third-party support.

No surprise really. Switch is the much better console compared to the dud that was the Wii U, and indies are definitely thriving on the system currently. I figure bigger 3rd party will follow suit soon.

Have you played Wii Sports? It's not a good game. Not at all. 

A game that makes teenage girls around teenage boys comfortable in the same room without the awkward silence  of them wonder if they will try to hit on me or not is a bad thing?

It was good for breaking the ice with new people and fun to play.  It achieved what is to get people to play together in the same room and laughing not sit there in a basement playing call of duty all day and night swearing at every one like a tool.

The Wii and Wii Sports got me so many dates, or hangouts that morphed into dates, in college. Sometimes those dates led to other things. One of those dates led to a very meaningful relationship of several years that almost led to me getting wed.

I have a lot of fond memories of my games and consoles, but the Wii and Wii Sports are my favorite console and game pair of my adult years, screw what the haters say. It wasn't just a phenomenon; it was a fever, and no metacritic score will ever accurately capture what it meant to both gaming and society.

The Wii U did have backwards compatibility to the Wii Library. Meaning that Wii U owners can still play Wii games. If Wii U did not have BC, maybe the Wii U would have gotten HD ports of Wii Games.



Pocky Lover Boy!

Why do they need to get a score of over 80%?

You do realise half those games got lower scores because the gfx were worst that PS3 and the other reason was because controls took too long to learn because it was cutting into some of the reviewers masturbation time.

At the end of the day I played the games I listed and indicated I did not care about scores. I enjoyed them. Were they perfect? no, but that's the nature of the beast it is about enjoyment not how perfect something is.

But I guess when you are a full time troll you have no time to work and earn money to buy more games so you have to rely on outdated bias methods to tell you what is and isn't a good game. Stop being brainwashed and make up your ow mind. I am my own man and make my own decision on what I like and don't like.

And the graphics on the Switch look worse than the PS4. That is not the reason those games scored lower.

This thread is about Metacritic, so strange that you're questioning it here. It's not a perfect method, but it's the most objective way of comparing the libraries of different consoles.

I owned a Wii and I already own more games on my Switch, that says more than enough.

Yes but go back in time. PS3 first come out it was like WOW FUCK DAMN THOSE GRAPHICS LOOK AMAZE BALLZ. Will looked like shit on comparison, especially Call of Duty.

Some of the earlier 3rd party game reviews that had a PS3 counter part were marked down a point for graphics. It used to be in the cons section of a review. Controls automatically dropped the score if they didn't offer a conventional option because reviewers were to lazy to try and learn and complained how hard it was. Red Steel is a good example. The controls were by no means perfect, but after learning to use them, the game wasn't that hard to play.

With the Switch, most reviewers view it as a portable that plays on a tv so their is no bias, or less off.

That relly doesnt have anuthing with fact that Switch lineup for same time period destroys Wii U lineup in any case, when we talk about quantity and quality of games.

So those 3 games, proves what exatly!? Wii U also had some bad games in 1st year, but buy Metacritics scores Switch had much more quality games in any case.

They report is based on facts.

Not going to discuss anything Nintendo with you until you stop taking it so personally.

And previously being part of Gawker invalidates most of what Kotaku has to say. 

In other words you don't have arguments for discuss and response.

Again, Kotaku report is based on facts, on real numbers, they did not made up this.

Well Wii U did get Zelda TP HD, and Wii did get games like Zelda TP, Metroid 1/2, Pikmin 1/2, despite fact that Wii had BC for GC games.

Is this another circle jerk off or something? Of course the Switch has better and more software, that is why it's more sucessful.

In other news, water is wet.

No, your just overzealous in your defense of a company. You take perceived sights against said company as though it were a personal attack on yourself. As such, no discussion with you on the subject will end in anything but increasingly more volatile responses from you.

 

And no, Kotaku is a blatant spin site. It doesn't know how to not be as much.

I wrote why I exactly completely disagree with you, not to mentione that my post was based on facts what you actually wrote don't make sense, and now you spin that in same kind of personal thing or attack. :D 

Fact is that this Kotaku report is based on facts, on real numbers, they did not made up this.
