@Cobalt You mean like: Breath of the Wild, Super Bomberman R, Doom Eternal, Animal Crossing, Hollow Knight, Golf Story, Bayonetta 3, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Mario and Rabbids, Daemon X Machina, Crystal Crisis, Starlink, Beyblade Burst, Zoids Wild, Gal Metal, Gear.Club Unlimited 2, Kamen Rider, Luigi's Mansion 3, Metroid Prime 4, Ninjala, Splatoon 2, Pokemon Let's Go, Pokemon 2019, SMT V, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Travis Strikes Again, Yo-Kai Watch 4, Yoshi's Crafted World, 1-2 Switch, Arms, Fire Emblem Warriors, Warriors Orochi 4, Kirby Star Allies, Mario Tennis Aces, Octopath Traveler, Runner3, Super Mario Party, Sushi Striker, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Killer Queen Black, Story of Seasons, Harvest Moon, Town, Blaster Master Zero, Blossom Tales, Bomb Chicken, De Mambo, Earth Atlantis, Floor Kids, Gonner, Gorgoa, Graceful Explosion Machine, 7 Million Humans, Super Sonic Racers, Sonic Mania (Plus), Sonic Forces, Megaman 11, West of Loathing, Lego DC Supervillains, Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, Lego Worlds, Fifa 18/19, NBA2k18/19, Celeste, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Steamworld Dig 2, I Am Setsuna, Lost Sphear, Trials Rising all came to Switch before or at the same time as any other console (and there's probably way more but that's off the top of my head) and that's without mentioning all the games that came very close to their counterparts like Wolfenstein II, Doom, Fortnite, Paladins, Crash N. Sane. Trilogy etc.

Plus y'know... these games are being ported from every device imaginable. As long as you haven't played them before, what does it matter if they aren't brand new?

@link3710 Let's be honest, all FIFA games are ports of last year's edition

Unless if a port replaced a new game, I have no problems with ports. Most portables have had a decent amount of their library made up of ports (GBA had tons of SNES/NES/Genesis ports.).

@Octane I can't argue with that logic.

@diwdiws Well, yeah. Breath of the Wild is one of the best recent action/adventure games, Mario Odyssey is one of the best recent 3D platformers. Same goes for Splatoon 2 for shooters (imo), Xenoblade 2 and Octopath for RPGs, and Smash Ultimate looks like it will be one of the biggest and best fighting games ever.

I don't mind ports but I can definitely agree that there hasn't been a healthy ratio of ports to new games on the Switch for me this year. That should change once Smash comes out, though.

@Dogorilla are they really?

Yeah probably.

According to most people who played them.

@Knuckles-Fajita Not to mention for the price of an iPhone X you could buy 3 switches and play a LAN party. Something a single phone can't do

@diwdiws It's a matter of opinion, but I've definitely seen a lot of people who would agree with it. Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey in particular are two of the highest rated games of all time.

@link3710
This is pathetic... You give a list of non exclusives, of non available yet, of multi indies etc...

Let me ask you a SIMPLE question and give me a SIMPLE answer : What are the SWITCH games of 2018 that you can consider as system sellers ?

You know like God Of War 4 on PS4 or multiplatform games like Red Dead Redemption 2, you know what I mean...

Basically for 2018, I see only Octopath Traveller for the moment...

@Dogorilla Breath of the Wild is a Wii U game... Mario Odyssey is the worst 3D Mario ever, I mean the less good of all... and the most overated...

@Cobalt I'm not getting into the 'is BotW a port' debate but for all intents and purposes it's a Switch game. The vast majority of people disagree with you about Odyssey. I agree with you that there haven't been huge quantities of brand new, system selling games this year, but I don't care. I've already got the console so it doesn't matter to me whether or not a game is a system seller (which is a highly subjective phrase anyway), and there are already more great games on the Switch than I'll ever have time to play.

Ah yes, the good ol' "I don't like it so it's overrated" spiel.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

And of course, according to Cobalt, Xenoblade 2 sucks just because it runs worse on a technical level with no other reason given. Hahahahahahahahahaha. **** off.

@Cobalt You never asked about system sellers. Besides, if you want to know which games are actually selling systems, look at Pokemon Let's Go, Super Mario Party and Mario Tennis Aces, because those are the ones that will sell the most Switches.

@Cobalt
"Let me ask you a SIMPLE question and give me a SIMPLE answer : What are the SWITCH games of 2018 that you can consider as system sellers ?"

What ?!
Why should i look for System seller gamers so much ?
I buy Switch games that i like or fit with my criteria, Not because it's Seller system or AAA.
Then, you might be so WRONG to judge the games by System sellers or Not.
Who cares if the games are Ports / Lower than AAA !

Btw, you still haven't answered my question about your complaints about port games on Switch.

@Anti-Matter
System seller games, I totally agree, that's why under all times I have ever bought a system, I wait untill there is a number of games that the cost is at least half the cost of the system
(Mario Kart, Odyssey, Zelda = $180, I was sold)

how do you add pics to a post, I see others do all the time and I have trouble explaining some things without the pic for it

@jhewitt3476

After you upload the picture, copy the link of its file.
Type (img)your link(/img) then voila !

Edit: replace the ( & ) with [ & ]

Well, this is interesting for anyone hoping to see a port of Xenoblade X onto the Switch. Apparently according to the developers, porting the game would be incredibly difficult to do. It sounds like it won't be happening.
