Arms currently has a 80 on metacritic. Kinda meh when nintendo needs more system selling games and less wii u ports and indie games.

@sillygostly i felt this direct was trying to hard to be funny but just wasnt. Maybe due to the dissapointing lack of triple A game announcements.

This direct kinda sucked. A rehash mk8, multiplayer splatoon and a bunch of low budget mini games.

@ThatNyteDaez there is no struggle. Ps4 is dominating this gen with nearly 60 million consoles sold. Wii U came out a year earlier and failed with 12 million causing nintendo to make a new console dropping full support of wii u. Xbox 360 is not even at 28 million. Now that switch is its own gaming tablet now its in comp with ipad and android in which nintendo will still lose

@JHDK to me it seems like many triple A game developers say we are bringing more games but they are their low budget games. They need to bring their big boy games to the table like final fantasy 15 and tomb raider.

@Jaredfrogman nah fifa is way to massive internationally and releasing on multiple platforms. Mario strikers is just a more kid family friendly version of the sport. Much smaller market

@SLIGEACH_EIRE just not really my type of game. I am sure its fun but at this moment switch has like hardly no options besides indie game announcements. Triple A games seem like they will come to switch at a very slow pace.

Looks like switch was more of a zelda selling console. I do not see much on the horizon to help it sustain much momentum. It has already started with a game drought. Zelda released march 4th and a rehash mk8 releases almost 2 months later. I already have mk8 and do not care to repurchase. That means i may not see a game i like for 4 months.

@Great_Gonzalez well maybe this explains why switch is not getting 3rd party triple A games like mass effect, borderlands and shadow of mordor. If those games are 50 to 60 gig games imagine how much more the carts would cost plus combining that with weak specs. Makes it hard for developers.

@JKRiki should not be too suprising. Many 3rd parties are already skipping switch and other games like yooka layle are also coming out later instead of alongside ps4 and xbox one versions.

Its a great start for switch but from what i see it may be hard for switch to hold momentum. Zelda is the main seller right now but later down the road mk8 comes out late april but there are no release dates for anymore triple A games. Mk8 is just a Wii U game and i dont see a lot of 3rd party besides indies to fill the void. Wii U had this problem also. You would have to wait like 3 months for the next 1st party title with not much to play inbetween. Switch is giving me the same feeling.

Wow Wii u sales are back to pre mk8 numbers. Not good
