I'm worried on the late gen Wii effect.
Huge droughts may push consumers out (especially if you this when Sony and Microsoft will have their brand new consoles out), and this has a big negative impact on overall sales for every game, but i'm specifically worried for those japanese third parties who are investing now their money on making original Switch titles, and if they release their games after years of droughts you'll see these games bombing big time. (remember SEGA at the end of Wii's lifecycle with Mad World, The House of the Dead, and the Conduit?)
I'm not saying this is totally happening now but if you start to have more months like February of almost nothing coming out because "we already achieved our goal" then it is going to be the Wii all over again.
I've said it once and I will say it again. I'm so happy, that during these "droughts" as people recall it, im catching up with games that's ive never played before "being an Nintendo only console buyer"
Skyrim - first time
Diablo- first time
Dark souls - first time
Doom- first time
Stardew valley - first time
Crash
Wolfstein 2 - first time
Minecraft , fortnite , warframe
And that's not including the Nintendo games I'm playing in between and the games getting released this year
I can't keep up. I really am having the most amazing gaming experience of all time.

Once again you're worrying too much. It's not your job. Just worry about the amount of games you want to play and the quality of them.
Games with not so much appeal. It's great for who loves indie, but it's not that good.
Onimusha, Dragon Marked, Travis, Monster Boy e Wargroove are very good titles. But only them
It's not like you'll necessarily miss out on a great game, most anime license games, also from Bandai, are more often than not pretty close to shovelware material. I agree that they should have improved their development pipeline to include another SKU, but not every developer Bandai contracts is at the same stage right now. Most developers simply made no preparation for Switch development, before it was a proven success 6-12months into Switchs life. It's not an excuse, but merely an explanation of the current situation. Looking at the Japanese market, it's mostly to their own detriment, as Switch is selling better than Wii launch aligned, and with no PlayStation family ecosystem around, PS4 is pretty much on its own and already in its declining path, selling at PSV levels pre total collapse.
Majority of them are not indies and all of them are quality titles. You may not be interested in them but those you listed are certainly not the only good titles.
My only point was that there's certainly not a drought of quality games right now.
User Banned (1 Day): Continued pattern of system warring
There are more Sonyfans in Nintendo related threads, than Nintendofans in Sony related threads...
No surprise. Extremely pessimistic about everything related to Nintendo, but also very defensive when it comes to Sony.
Wait when you guys think StarFox GP, you think about just racing? Come on, underselling it a bit aren't we. I mean a Retro developed, StarFox arcade racer with story elements, a hub world to interact with characters and enter races, and play like some frankenstein of F-Zero and Diddy Kong is about the hypest random adlib game description to ever exist, and it's actually a game that might be coming out this year. I have no doubt its gonna be worth the wait. As for the roster, I feel they might use it a platform to relaunch F-Zero. Have a half Starfox, Half F-Zero cast, and then in a couple of years they release F-Zero Next with the same cast and more, marketing it as a branched off game from Stsrfox GP.
has there been any discussion here on that listing of AC3 next month for the switch? any truth to it?
It's a legit concern for us consumers too, how can you not get it? because if you finished all your Switch games, on February you either buy something you missed before or you don't touch your Switch.
For me personally it's a big deal because i always buy only one console, i guess if you have all of them you don't really notice it, i want new contents every month to choose, much like Netflix adds regularly new contents every month, on PS4 you have new contents every month, Nintendo should do better on this front.
Now i don't have this issue because of my backlog, but if this is going to be a thing, then definitely it's a big problem going forward.
I don't mean to say you guys confirmed it, only that you guys also heard about it.
In this video Andre said "we have been hearing similar things ourselves the past few weeks".
Maybe they are good titles, but Switch could get something much better. It's a shame that this console is still a "second/third choice" for developers. Just look ad Dragon Ball Project Z. Namco has released FighterZ and Xenoverse building up a solid community (with great sales), and still we won't get the game for now. I hope Nintendo will release a lot of first party for the console.
I don't think, they get all the games
How many games do some you play per year? I'm happy playing Skyrim and Monster Boy until Yoshi's Crafted World comes out.
Get out with this console warrior bullshit. What are you, 5? I literally never owned a playstation, not even the first one (I had an n64) or a PSP (which I would have bought if the DS hadn't been on fire at the same time).
That's how feel. I just got Resident Evil 2 and about to get KH3. That's gonna last me until June at least with how slow i beat games.
Took me 7 months to beat Xenoblade and then Octopath/VC4 kept me busy until smash.
I've skipped a ton of switch games since there's too many and not enough time in my life.
I really enjoyed the story of YS VIII, but sadly I'll never know how it ended, since I couldn't finish it before August July 1st. I hate games that release late in the month. Super Mario Odyssey was fun while it lasted, but having only 4 days to play it is an awful thing Nintendo did to us.
There better be another Dillon game on Switch. It needs another opportunity and Switch momentum is great for it. These characters are so well designed.look at these guys. that's a full Space Animals team ready to go
looking forward to the intense rivalry between Nomad and Octoman
2018 - 53 games beaten
2017 - 31 games beaten.
Total lifetime - 447 Games beaten. (Howlongtobeat.com = amazing)
Like 3 if I'm lucky lol
But digital sharing on Switch is really helping me play more stuff this time so I will probably play a lot more games this year.
I finished 9 games last year!
15 the year before. But maybe you play shorter games? Mine take on average 40 hours to complete. Otherwise you just play more games than I do.
I had the numbers slightly wrong. Shooters are probably good for 7ish of that 53. Things like 2018 happen when your single for the entire year lol
Edit: So far have beaten 47 switch games lol
Wait, so howlongtobeat is basically My Anime List for videogames?
I had the numbers slightly wrong. Shooters are probably good for 7ish of that 53. Things like 2018 happen when your single for the entire year lol
Otherwise you can't dismiss the games that sold and are still selling the system. Not having something to play is at worst a personal problem, as there are ongoing constant new releases and people in general like to play their games for a long period of time, unless the only thing holding the game together is story and graphics. Games like Mario Kart, Smash and Fortnite will be played throughout the whole generation.
Remember Ehoavash said we probably will get a Nintendo unannounced IP for February.
Lol. I'm usually around 8-10 games a year. Since I play more indies now they're usually shorter.
Yea. It even breaks it down by how many games you've beaten for a month and by platform!
Fuck and here I was thinking I had discovered an untapped market.
Not a new IP, a new game from an existing IP that doesn't have a Switch entry yet.
Yeah that's what I thought he said.
His comments make it hard to pin the IP down.
Now I just learned of myanimelist from you. Don't have much in that bucket though but I love archiving.
A quick look through their posts in the past week show they literally only posted in sales and Nintendo-related threads, lol. Your post is tragic.
Kamiya's new IP is seemingly exclusive to Switch. Could be owned by Nintendo.
I wouldn't want to advertise them, stopped using them after this debacle

It's just that they are convenient shorthand for what I meant.
Ehoavash has distinct tastes from what I remember, so it's really hard for me to get an idea of whether or not it could be something "exciting" for the ERA audience or something people wouldn't give a shit about (think Sushi Striker).
Woah, DeNA owns MyAnimeList? I didn't expect this topic to actually be somewhat relevant to the Nintendo First-Party Thread.
I think Wave Race is way too big for this.
I can't believe people don't get that it's annoying how empty the release calendar has been for a year.
Clearly there's enough of us to think that some people, in their opinion, think there's a bit of barrenness. People try and counter by posting lists of games. But they're not games we're going to play. Wonder Boy may be a ten out of ten. A lot of people say it is. But many of us just aren't going to play it. It's not our thing. Sorry.
I blame BoTW. People like me bought the console for it. But then it wasn't really followed up with much. A clever Square Enix would have ported Sleeping Dogs (is it called that) or some other 360 open world ish things. Skyrim clearly did very well.
Also, while you may not like it, most people don't complete games. I've got Captain Toad, Mario Rabbids, Undertale (which didn't gel with me at all), Outrun, Sonic Mania, Hollow Knight, Metal Slug, gonner and Worms sat barely played on my Switch. Im sure they're all great but I turn my Switch on and don't feel like playing them.
