They showed Skyrim as part of the promotional trailer for Switch 1 even though Skyrim didn't launch until 6 months after. I feel like if they had something big to reveal they would've shown it like they did with Skyrim

Skyrim wasn't the only notable third party announcement for the Switch in 2017. It's been nearly three months since the Switch 2 Direct so time for more third parties to start porting stuff to it and Nintendo to work out deals with them. With its staggering record breaking launch I'm sure there are developers out there who only just this month started going full steam ahead with developing for it so I do expect a notable uptick in major third party support over the next 1-2 years.

There hasn't been many Nintendo games announced either, there has been no post launch Nintendo Direct either.

Think Nintendo's thinking on this is they feel they can cruise in the launch window due to new system excitement, there will be more announcements as we get past July I think.

I'm not aware of this issue.

I mean, the system just came out. You could say the same thing about any system 3 weeks into their lifecycle.

There were plenty of third party games, including AAA games that Nintendo has pretty much never gotten for the past two decades, announced before the system came out. Sure some of them are previously released games, but again, the system just came out so that is pretty natural that it is picking up already released AAA third party games that are the type of games Nintendo hasn't gotten in decades.

I think it is pretty dang clear based on the AAA third party games already announced that Nintendo talked to 3rd parties to ask what Nintendo can do to get third party AAA games back on Nintendo after all this time and they told Nintendo to put in lots of power, and that's exactly what Nintendo did.

If you mean brand new games, well, again, the system just came out, so for any system you wouldn't expect lots of new game announcements yet. Heck, the first like two years the PS5 was out it seemed like there were a couple spiderman games and god of war games or something like that and not much else in terms of really big AAA games. So this definitely isn't a 'strange' Switch 2 thing, it's just normal for new systems. There's barely any first party AAA games announced either, and two of those announced games are just Switch games that didn't get out earlier so they got S2 versions as well.

So it's literally just cuz the system just launched, there's absolutely nothing strange going on with the amount of games announced now. In fact, quite the opposite for third parties when comparing to any Nintendo system the past 20 years. The big third party games already released at launch or announced for later this year are probably equal to what it took the Switch like half of it's life cycle to get.

So much for your claims in recent weeks and months that you are done with Nintendo due to outrageous prices for hardware and software, and a supposed lack of innovation. Congrats on proving all the people right who called you out for trolling.

Elden Ring?

I mean Elden Ring is the new Skyrim for Switch 2, they revealed it about 6 months before release just like they did with Skyrim for Switch 1.

Plus The Duskbloods, which is a brand new IP coming exclusively to the Switch 2. Feels like that's a pretty big announcement to me. Yeah, it's not third-party published, but neither was Bloodborne.

Elden Ring is very old now and I'd be surprised if there was lots of people wanting to play it on Switch 2. I know your thinking "Skyrim was really old too", but Skyrim was one of the most successful games of all time and they released the special edition in 2016 so the Switch was actually getting a new version of the game that also released on PS4 and Xbone the year before. 

You also have to remember that this system costs 450$ so you've got to give people more reasons as to why they should part with that money.  

My friend is an indie dev and told me Nintendo have not opened orders yet for non trusted partners but will soon. Meaning devs kits are just in trusted partners hands right now and Nintendo only sent those out earlier this year for some. So when they open orders for anyone to get a dev kit, more games will be announced.
