You are a zealous fanboy and believe you need to defend the publishers and developers from nasty people like me and others that call for games to be brought to the Switch.
I find this very strange, and not at all rational. The more games that lose exclusivity and come to the Switch, the better the experience for everyone that owns a Switch. As someone that invested in a Switch, I want the best experience possible.
@Razer
I wouldn't care like you seem to care. I can understand if PC players would love to play officially released Nintendo games. Putting it mildly, it is extremely unlikely due to Nintendo's business interests and supporting their own hardware. I still wouldn't call them entitled or question their right to call for Nintendo to release games on PC and vote with their wallets.
You make it sound like we are all Nintendo fanboys and are acting "entitled" to games for free. We are paying customers.
Any way that digital purchasers can get these included? Whilst we get convenience, Nintendo still makes more profit from each individual digital purchase. It would be nice if they could extend this to all customers.
@PanurgeJr Nintendo and Sony are MULTINATIONAL companies headquartered in Japan. They operate in many countries and employ staff all over the world. Their world customer base will have expectations that they will need to accommodate, otherwise they lose their market share and profit. As I said, it isn't racism to expect a multinational company to cater for its largest market. This is business. You're overreacting as usual to score cheap points.
@PanurgeJr It's fine to disagree with someone, but to accuse someone of "racism" just because you disagree with them is rather pathetic. You've got some growing up to do.
In the UK, if you owned an original PS1 you almost definitely owned Crash Bandicoot. Nostalgia sells and it's such a great game with varied levels. Naughty Dog at its finest!
Boring. There are exceptions, but NES games won't excite many people under the age of 40 that didn't live through that era. Those that are 40+ likely already own them in some form and return to them for nostalgia reasons.
Classic N64, Gamecube and original Wii games would have made it worth it.
What a load of old guff. The Yakuza games are way more enjoyable than Grand Theft Auto in my opinion. I would love to have Yakuza 0 and Kiwami on the Switch.
Fantastic. Bethesda have really put effort in to give us proper triple-A games on the Switch. I hope they'll give us a version of The Elder Scrolls VI.
@RyanSilberman It still doesn't mean that I am excited for them on Switch. They exist everywhere else so I don't care if Ubisoft makes this one. Try and understand the point, even if you disagree.
Acting this defensive, not respecting other opinions and accusing me of engaging in rhetoric just because you didn't like my opinion won't change my mind. We aren't supporting football teams, we are customers and my customer input will hopefully have a tiny effect on Ubisoft's decision-making. I am not as excited for Ubisoft's current offerings as you are and think they should release more triple-A games that the Switch is capable of.
@RyanSilberman
Yes. It is the usual shovelware that appears on most platforms and doesn't take long to develop compared to titles like Assassins Creed. Uno and Monopoly have both been on mobile for years. I had them going back to iPhone 3G and Xperia Play. Similar sidescroll Rayman games have been on multiple platforms from mobile to Vita to Xbox 360.
Its fine if you disagree, but I would like to see more triple-A experiences on the Switch. Ubisoft are not fully onboard yet. They even cancelled one yesterday.
@RyanSilberman They're not the AAA releases that I would get excited about and purchase. We're all different though. I would expect them all to be eventually released on mobile (other than Mario).
They're content to give us the usual shovelware that they also put on mobile phones. Bethesda has properly supported the Switch and I've enjoyed all their games.
Of course there will be exceptions, but I don't think many people under the age of 40 are going to be that excited for NES games or even bother playing them. Unless you had nothing else on the Switch. It's an era that's difficult to love unless you went through it. N64/Gamecube games would be an amazing gesture and perfect on the Switch.
China doesn't care about property IP. Their entire economy is made up of producing fake, low-quality goods. Amazon and ebay are flooded with their fake rubbish and many people get burned.
As someone that has never played a Smash game and doesn't have any game series fatigue for it, this is the perfect time to jump in. Looks like a lot of content.
It's only missing Professor Layton. Solving puzzles in the form of defeating his opponents.
Octopath Traveler is a game that could have been released on the original PSP though - with tweaks. Give us beautiful AAA experiences like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 or Ys VIII.
@Rayquaza2510 That's a definite.. I read somewhere that LA Noire cost $10 more on Switch than the PS4/XB1 because of the Nintendo game card pricing. Even with the Nintendo Tax, I still think I would buy it on the Switch because it's such a unique console experience on-the-go, that suits my lifestyle.
We need more immersive games for the Switch that aren't in the 2D style or side-scrollers. A new, full Final Fantasy game that takes up all the space on a 64GB cartridge.

Chill out man. If that's entitlement then we're all entitled when we want our favourite games to be released on the Switch.

Easy. Starcraft II-branded Nintendo Switch keyboard and Mouse pack!

Re: Gear.Club Unlimited 2 Revealed Exclusively For Nintendo Switch
Microsoft should put Forza on the Switch and allow cross play. It will probably sell better on the Switch and make them more money.
Re: Diablo III Eternal Collection Officially Announced For Nintendo Switch
Hell yeah. The Switch is really starting to gain triple-A games and third parties now.
Re: ESRB Rating Reveals Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Is Switch-Bound
Loved Giana Sister DS. Better than Super Mario Bros.

Re: European Nintendo Online Stores Rebranded As 'My Nintendo' Stores, New Stock Incoming
A new reward will probably be a free month of the new online service or Splatoon 2 skins. I'd rather have physical items..
