Will the Switch survive without essential third-party games?

>>389614685
Probably the only two games that I'd be okay with having on the Switch are Persona 5 and Monster Hunter.

>>389614685
All of the third party portable support for the 3DS will move over to the Switch in time.

It will likely steal the waifu/weaboo market from the Vita as well.

>>389614685
If they get a Madden, a quality racing sim and a COD with a healthy playerbase it'll be fine if it misses out on everything else.

Nintendo games don't play anime games not made by Nintendo or western stuff anyways

>>389614685
Worked for the n64, if you ignore Rare games.

>>389615647
The Switch hardware is 2007 tier garbage it cant handle any of those games.

>Look everyone! I made this shitpost thread again!

>>389615729
>Worked for the n64
It really didn't. PSX outsold it 3:1 and had so many more games to play.

>>389614685
>Third party support
>nintendo giving a fuck
People get nintendo consoles to play all the great 1st party titles not to play medal of duty 467636337676 or Gray Open World game 37383

>>389614685
How the fuck can they not port the south park game and hearthstone to the switch?

>>389614685
Depends on what you mean by "survive".

Is it going to beat the PS4 in market penetration and sales? No.
Is it going to beat the XBOX One even? Probably not.
Is it going to surpass the Wii U and carve out a comfortable niche among gamers looking for an alternative that's not a scaled-down PC or even just a secondary system where they can play Mario Kart and Splatoon? Then yeah, it'll do just fine.

>>389616446
>south park game

>>389616450
Would you say that there exists a certain critical mass of users where third parties would consider entering the market? Just give me Battlefield 4 and some JRPGs

Nintendo, unlike Sony and Microsoft, don't sell their consoles for a loss. And they've also got you retards buying little plastic figurines (that makes most of their prophet these days.) Nintendo can afford to shit out one or two exclusives worth mentioning a year and still stay in the black.

>>389616450
In its first year on the market (March 2017 to March 2018) the Switch will likely sell around half what the Xbone has total.

I think the JRPGs are coming. A bunch of companies were banking on the Switch bombing and are now in the process of eating that metaphorical bag of dicks and crows. We'll likely see some development on that end in the years to come.

WIth that having been said, we're likely going to see a bunch of ports of Playstation JRPGs instead of something new.

>>389616098
>Gray Open World game 37383
But that's what botw was minus the gray

>>389614685
Nintendo doesn't need them.

But they need Nintendo so screw them.

Kekmao. Think nintenbros are autistic enough to make Octopath Traveller a bestseller while ignoring ports?

SMT is, Professor Layton is, and it seems like Etrian Odyssey is too.

if those games actually came to the Switch you'd just be disappointed in the resulting ports

Apparently you will have to pay a subscrption for online play in 2018.

Is this true? I was gonna buy a switch largely for splatoon but not if I have to pay an online subscription.

>>389618289
Yes, the first year is free and then after that it's 20 dollars a year
Although it is comparatively cheap keep in mind that the Switch's online is pretty shitty and you are paying for peer2peer connection, meaning there's nothing your money could possibly improve.

Only a few of those games I'd really wish to be on the switch, but essential? No.

>>389617231
And? Even if by some miracle of logistics, the new Sony portable is both cheaper and more powerful than the switch, who would still buy it knowing what happened with the Vita?

That was taken out of context. The quote is from someone who no longer works at Atlus USA and kept getting bugged on twitter about Persona 5

lmao acfag can't stop spamming. The switch is succeeding and he's SEETHING

What is with Nintendrrones and calling everyone whatever the boogeyman of the month is?

>>389614685
>an entire swathe of normiecore trash
Damn, what a loss. Now I'll only have good games to choose from.

>>389619587
Because the fan boys don't want to accept that some of the former fans are tired of Nintendo's bullshit.

>>389619681
>tfw had to post a picture of my 3DS in a thread last week because fan boys kept insisting I was a Sonyfag
Most of my consoles are Nintendo ones but I'm not retarded enough to defend the kind of shit they've been doing in some areas.

>>389619406
There's maybe 5 companies on that list that haven't announced anything yet.

>Doesn't get the big 3rd party devs PS4 / PC
>Doesn't get the niche 3rd party devs from Vita

I thought this was going to have the Vita and PS4 dev support? Where are the games?

>>389615513
>It will likely steal the waifu/weaboo market from the Vita as well.
They're already failing that. Not only that, but the biggest reason WHY those devs were on the Vita was imply due to it not being a Nintendo system. The devs on Vita are already primed to go to PC or PS4 so don't expect any Switch stuff.

post games that Nintenbros will NEVER play

The last Nintendo machine I bought was a refurbished Gameboy SP. It half-a-decade after that when emulation became a more common thing and even the cheapest laptops could do it, so I essentially bought myself a laptop and never looked back. And I have no regretted it.

The reason I specify all this is so that you'll know where I'm coming from when I say that I don't think Nintendo cares about 3rd party anymore. Like at all.

The Gamecube (and arguably the Wii) was the last time Nintendo felt like it was willing to suck 3rd party dick, and honestly I don't think they need to anymore.

We live in a day and age where single games are considered "system sellers", meaning games that are so good that buying the system JUST to play them is an acceptable trade-off. Good examples of this are Bloodborn, BoTW, and maybe some Xbox shit like Gears/Halo. If a console doesn't have this kind of selling-power it'll bomb, see the Bone, but if it does it'll sell millions, see the Switch.

Now, consider that Nintendo has made the console AND the system selling game. They are now making money not only from selling the box, but also for selling the system seller. But it gets better, because Nintendo has a built-in fanbase that will eat their shit if it comes in a fancy game cover. Nintendo won't have ONE system seller for the Switch. They'll have 2 or 3! Mario, Metrioid, Zelda and not to mention the buzz about a home-console Pokemon. If all these line up (and don't get spinoffs like Mario Kart or fusions like SSB), that's 4 system selling games.

My point is that the Switch might not have 3rd party games, but if their first party games are as hyped as BoTW, they will turn a much bigger profit with letting 3rd party developers be 3rd class citizens.

>>389617059
>we're likely going to see a bunch of ports of Playstation JRPGs
In your dreams nintenbro

>>389620437
>It half-a-decade after that

Remove "It" and the sentence makes a lot more sense. My bad.

Has Nintendo ever had good third party support? Starting from the N64 on, Nintendo's been on their own.

>>389620289
>Where are the games?
Being announced? I mean the system did take DQ Builder from the Vita and just got a Rockstar game.

Same with Final Fantasy

>>389620501

You know what, fuck it, there's a ton of grammatical errors in this post. Fuck I'm too tired to type out long shit like this.

>>389620506
DQ Builder was a PS4 game though and it wasn't very niche. Plus, Dragon Quest has a history on Nintendo systems so the entire franchise is impossible to call a Sony exclusive title. The last title that was "stolen" also sold half the amount the Vita version sold despite both releasing at the same time.
Just face it. The Switch is already failing to garner 3rd party support and with its abysmal sales of those who DID jump onto the hype, I don't see this trend changing anytime soon.

>>389620557

>worse version
>not the VR version

Whatever you say Gabe.

>buying Nintendo for multiplats
No one does this. Why would anyone prefer to play a gimped version of a multiplat on weaker hardware?

People get Nintendo for the first-party games and the occasional third-party exclusive.

>>389620791
>The Switch is already failing to garner 3rd party support

Nope. Repeating it doesn't make it true.

So abysmal some of the greediest publishers are making games for it.

EA is backing it with sports titles, it's completely fine.

Dont they just take care of localization? Why would he know anything about the the game development?

Fuck mario, the manlet poster child
I want a Yoshi game, a Luigi game, A wario game, a bowser game.

>>389620949
>Suda's NMH is on board
Can't wait for Bayo 3 EXCLUSIVELY on Switch

No 3rd party will bother.

>>389615767
they just need a version of the big hits. if it's MW3 PS3 Madden with a current roster and Project Cars 1, that's enough for more casual Nintendo players from straying to a 2nd console.

>>389614685
Why you survive without essential shitposting?

Reminder that third party support != AAA multiplat
3rd party exclusives are a thing too.
