Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Hello everyone
Without checking the internet could someone tell me how many games are on switch . I read its over 1000 . Is this correct. Switch is only out 3 years and it has nearly 1400 games.. This could not be right. And anyone who has all or most of them tell me if they are any good.

Thank you

Inspired Paper Mario "Bug Fables" is coming to Switch. looks really interesting.

@JaxonH we will see about the new one. DS2 is a lock.

According to Wikipedia it is over 1600 games. But not everyone is in every region.

@Ninfan
How many games do you want to play from Nintendo Switch?
Good games it doesn't have to be like Metroid Prime 4.
Try other different Switch games.
At least they are enjoyable even just 10 - 20 titles.

@Anti-Matter What's wrong with MP4?

@Octane
Oh, nothing. 😅
I just wonder about Ninfan that still on the fence with Switch games so far.
I remembered that he still really want Metroid Prime 4.

Just want to add that many of those games are smaller titles and a good chunk is probably shovelware.

And no one can play all of those games, it is impossible. Even if someone would have done it, it would be a very shallow look at most games.

You have to know your own taste (jrpgs, shooters, sports etc) and see if
those on the switch suits your taste.

@Ninfan I believe on the US eShop there are over 2,000 games available. I highly doubt anyone has even close to all of them.

@Anti-Matter Who doesn't want Metroid Prime?

It's almost as good as Pikmin.

enslave and force critters to fight for you > kill alien critters yourself?

@Therad Correct.

How would we know? We haven't even see the damn game since its been announced! 😉

Digitally? I don't doubt that the Switch catalogue would be around 1400 games. There has been the occasional week where over thirty games have are added. Physically? Although I don't keep a spreadsheet (I only buy what I intend to play) but I believe there's over 500 physical releases now globally, with each region having their own mix of region-exclusive games.

And like any other platform there are gems and there is shovelware.

@Ninfan Jeez, asking if ~1500 games are any good is such a loaded question. If you're asking:
Is there a wide library full of good games on Switch?: Yes
Is there shovelware to avoid with a 39 and a half foot pole: Yes
Which games should I get?: There's a pinned thread dedicated to this
Is the Switch's library worth purchasing it for: Almost certainly yes.

Seems increasingly possible that we might be getting an English version of the Seiken Densetsu collection.

@Ralizah hope it's true. It's long over due

They probably lost at least a little bit of money by not getting that out in English ASAP. It would've had to compete with like...15 games instead of 1000.

So there's a rumor that Call of Juarez Gunslinger is coming to the Switch.

Techland recently teased that they're porting one of their games to Switch later this year. Although when they were asked about the possibly of bringing Dying Light 2 to Switch Techland said, "no". So the obvious choices are either Dying Light 1 or Call of Juarez Gunslinger. Some folks believe it's Dead Island, however THQ Nordic owns the Dead Island property.
