Now that I'd be happy to see. Legends is still one of the greatest 2D platformers ever. I don't know why they didn't continue that series. I think they did a cellphone one but I didn't follow it.
@Magician Has it been reduced? 2/3 titles that have been released since then we're on Switch, and afaik, the only game announced at all since then is AC: Valhalla, when none of the current gen ACs have made it to Switch.
On top of that, we've only had one Nintendo Direct so far this year, which is usually when Switch ports and exclusives are announced from Ubi. So I think it's too soon to say they've scaled back support.

Nobody here knows if it’s a scam because I’m pretty sure none of us here have ever heard of that place. As a personal rule, I would never, EVER, buy from a place that I can’t google search and find out in 30 seconds if they’re legit.

That was an awful show, even worse than Microsoft's Inside Xbox event back in May. Guess it's up to Microsoft's July event and Nintendo Direct rumours to save this year's replacement to E3.
Cinematic trailers galore and no Switch support did people expect something from Ubisoft when the Next-gen consoles coming out this year?
For me, this live stream was great, Far Cry 6 is coming next year(hope this game goes back to its roots) and Watch Dogs Legion has revealed itself after being in hiatus for months.
The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
I like Assassins Creed, and I like Far Cry... well... provided they have gyro aiming (which on PC is the case, and Switch for AC), but we already knew about the annual AC, and I’ve got so many Far Cry games in my Steam library- FC3, FC4, FC5, FC Blood Dragon, FC Primal, FC New Dawn... I’m sure the next will be a fine game and all, but I can’t say it’s going to be a day one buy. That’s a $20 Steam sale purchase. A port of Far Cry 3 on Switch with gyro aiming would have been more compelling.
At least we got more Trials Rising content. But ya, horrible show, even for the PC gamer in me.
For the big, new popular games, Switch will never be more than an inconvenience to these companies anyways. I’ve accepted just playing bigger games on PC where I can map gyro and have free online and better performance/graphics than even PS5/Series X. I’m not wanting those games on Switch anyways, having them end up like Outer Worlds. But what I DO want is more 7th gen ports. Games that were built ground up for hardware of roughly equivalent power and designed to look the best they possibly can for that power level. Or 8th gen ports that can be brought over without excessive sacrifice. But it seems these companies can’t even do that.
I mean, some have. 2k knocked it out of the park bringing their A-game with 3 Borderlands games, 3 Bioshock games and XCOM 2, and Civilization VI. EA brought Burnout Paradise. We’ve got Sniper Elite 2/3, Saint’s Row 3/4, Alien Isolation, Metro 2033/Last Light, Crysis, 4 Assassins Creed games, Dark Souls, 3 Darksiders games, 2 new DOOM games, 2 modern Wolfenstein games, Dragons Dogma, too many Resident Evil games to count, GRID Autosport, Mortal Kombat XI, we got Samurai Showdown, Divinity OS2, 2 Southpark games, Trials Rising, Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4... and plenty others I’m forgetting.
But there should be more. Where’s Batman Arkham Collection? I know Mass Effect and Dragon Age will never happen, ok, but what about Rayman Origins, Far Cry 3 or Assassins Creed Ezio Collection with gyro? These are games that would look and run great on the NS and they’re already made. 6 to 9 months with a contract studio and there you go. Where’s Dark Souls 2? Seems like Bandai Namco’s interest just dropped off the map. We got God Eater 3 and then... games you’d expect like DB Kakarot just never got announced (not that I cared about that game anyways but it was a good fit). Tales of Vesperia outsold every other version, yet no signs of bringing other entries over, or planning for Switch as a platform for the new one, or God forbid, actually make an exclusive like they’ve done for PS half a dozen times. Think about it. More demand shown on Nintendo than PS, yet they won’t make the same commitment and investment for platform B as platform A. It defies logic. And, Tony Hawk’s absence is baffling. So many games that would make sense, yet are MIA.
So ya. I think it’s clear Switch is just an inconvenience for them, something they’ll drop a token game on from time to time to appease investors, but they have no real commitment to support the system. And that sucks because it’s by far the best video game console ever made. It still gets tons of games, and Nintendo will surely come hard and heavy after this intermission year for round 2. There will be lots to look forward to. But it could be even better. It could be EVEN BETTER if these companies actually invested in the platform.
As long as I get my new Monster Hunter on Switch by the end of the generation, I don’t care about the rest (and it does look like that’s going to happen after the recent evidence piling on, but I’ll breathe easier once it’s confirmed).
