Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Switch Learned A Lot From Wii U’s Struggles During Its Own First Year

@Devlind "Bayonetta didn't sell a lot back in the Wii U era. " The game sell over one million copies.

"And Wii U received its fair share of shovelware too." Every consoles have there shovelware. PS4 have plenty of shovelware games like life of the black tiger. But the wii u have plenty of good indies. Wait I thought Indies count for the switch but why not on the wii u?

"When people say it had droughts they mean the system didn't received new big games in months. " Okay but what is the last time Switch have a big game and Wii U ports don't count?. Switch have two big game last year it was doom and Skyrim from AAA devs. Switch have many indie games. PS4 and Xbox one right now having AAA games like Monster hunter world and Dragonball fighterz. Even Wii U final years have plenty of AAA games like Paper Mario: Color Splash, Star Fox Zero, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, Lego Marvel's Avengers,

@wiggleronacid "Don’t get me wrong, I love indie games but I don’t think that was the take away about the drought statement. Most people pick up gaming consoles for the console exclusives or ability to play top of the line third party titles, not 2D indie games that can run on nearly any PC."

Okay than the switch have droughts also. We in March and there is no new games came out right now on the switch. The Switch have no top of line 3rd party games. Right now Xbox one and Ps4 playing AAA games.

@rdrunner1178 "there were some horrendous game droughts." The Wii U never had game droughts. The wii u have 800 games. A system have 800 games is not a drought. The wii u have a lot if indie games like Freedom planet, Runbow, Don't Starve, Knytt Underground, Year Walk, Thomas Was Alone, Nova-111, Super Meat Boy, Elliot Quest, The Swapper, Axiom Verge, Jotun, Terraria and many more. The Wii U have a lack of AAA games. Even the switch right now have a lot indies and no 3rd party AAA games.

The only thing that Nintendo correct is the Marketing. If Nintendo market the wii u same as the Wii and Switch the Wii U will sell like the switch. Wii U had a lot of 3rd party games but most of them are indies. Same as the switch. Right now the switch is suffering lack of AAA games. Switch have way to many ports that many us gamers already play. The Wii U did not fail.

Ports are not a bad thing but really old ports are. Games like Payday 2 a game that you can buy cheaper on PS4 and Xbox one but they charge you 50 dollars on the switch is a crime. Games like Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze on the switch cost 60 dollars. You can buy the same game on the Wii U 20 dollars. Most of the ports coming to the Switch that many us play on other consoles.
I don't mine the switch have some remasters like dark souls but in between it need new games. Many nintendo fans said Xbox one and PS4 have ports of old games. Yes it does but also they have new games like monster hunter world, Dragonball fighter z and etc.
Switch really need new games. So far this year the switch is very disappointment

@ilikeike I will be shock also if Call of duty don't come this year. Also if they announce a new cod for the PS4, Xbox one and PC don't get mad. Activison will announce the switch version later down the road like 2 or 3 months. Call of duty easily can run on the switch. Yes the switch getting 3rd party exclusive but it need more from Activison, EA, Ubisoft and etc.

@OorWullie Okay yes Rocket League, Pinball FX 3, Celeste, Enter the Gungeon, Steamworld Dig 2,The Escapists 2, Mantis Racing, Sonic Mania, Wonderboy is not on the wii u but many indies are. They still making wii u games like world to the west and battle princess madelyn. I have a PC and I have rocket league, celeste and sonic Mania. How do you tell me I don't have a switch.

Re: Nintendo On How It Views Indie and AAA Games

Look I understand the Switch is not that powerful than the base xbox one and base ps4. Yes I understand it cannot run some games like red dead or Anthem. But go back to the wii roots. Give us 3rd party exclusive games. The wii cannot run a lot of xbox 360 and ps3 games but Ubisoft, EA, Activison, Capcom, Square enix, Sega still support the wii. Games like Madworld, House of dead overkill, dead space extraction, resident games, and ect.

@OorWullie " Look we all know you're just bitter because you can't afford to upgrade your precious Wii U and use this pathetic" Dude I have a switch. I beating mario odyssey and I have arms..

@ilikeike "nAAAo 3rd party games. First of all its a typo. I am typing fast. Second Switch have games but lack of AAA games. Nintendo still did not learn from it mistake. Where is the 3rd party devs that Nintendo show at the switch event. Most 3rd party games on the switch are old ports. Remember Activison made on game so far is skylanders. If Call of duty does not come to the switch this year that will be a death sentence for Activison support

Re: Nintendo On How It Views Indie and AAA Games

@Anti-Matter Switch have game mostly are trash. Yes indies sell on the console because the switch have no AAA games. No real competition. Its happen to PS Vita. Vita have no 3rd part support but indies support. Many indies make a profit on a console have no real AAA games. Think about this if dude. If the Switch have red dead 2. Who do you think people will buy on the switch red dead 2 or steamworld dig 3?

Re: Nintendo On How It Views Indie and AAA Games

@JimmySpades The switch selling because of the hype. Nintendo finally understand marketing. But the difference between Xbox one vs Switch is that Xbox one have 10x better 3rd party support. Games like Red dead to call of duty and etc.

Re: Nintendo On How It Views Indie and AAA Games

"Switch has too many indies and not enough AAA games to be considered competitive with the Xbox and PlayStation." Yes I am telling the truth. Indies don't sell consoles. Wii u have a lot of indies but nAAAo 3rd party games. It's February and still no new games on the switch

@subpopz "It was exclusive to Wii U, which was a massive failure" How that a massive failure It's a Wii u exclusive lol.Nintendo funded bayonetta 2. Also the game sold a million copies.

Re: Review: Bayonetta 2 (Switch)

@GoldenGamer88 First of all Breath of the Wild is not a switch exclusive its on the Wii u. Second you list games came out last year. Where is new games came out this year? And obvious Mario odossy is not a port.

"Every console gets ports and considering Switch already overtook WiiU in hardware sales, they have every right to give these great games a second chance on Switch. I‘d say keep‘em coming!" Who fault is that. Your fault. You should buy the game when it came out. Also you rather have old port than new games lol

Re: Review: Bayonetta 2 (Switch)

@Biff_ARMStrong "Mario Aces, Kirby, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Octopath Traveler, Metroid 4, Pokemon" lol 😁 none of these games are not yet release. It's February going on March and Switch have no new AAA games
