Say you're stranded in the desert with nothing to drink but the piss you excrete from your body, odds are your going to drink your own piss. Same applies to Nintendo fans, they're reliant only on what Nintendo produces.

You're so starved for third party support that'll you'll buy even the most mediocre games.

>>389953235
>Wonder Boy
>Mediocre

Confirmed for never having played it.

Also it's ADORABLE how you're still pushing this, months after a really successful launch.

There's a reason why third party avoids Nintendo like the plague. Nintendo is a threat to the industry Under a Nintendo rule third party suffers, as opposed to a Sony and or Microsoft rule. Why do you think Capcom won't port simple shit like the Disney Afternoon Collection?

>>389953351
It's mediocre.
Not "bad" by all means, but the gameplay is way too outdated, "elementary" tier.

>>389953351
Had to dig into the archive for it. Also Wonderboy is garbage. No ifs, buts, or whatevers.

>>389953235
Wonder Boy isn't a bad game, but there's so much shit coming out on literally every other platform that it's hard to care about a remade HD port of a Master System game that even kids from the 80's barely remember because unless you lived in the UK no one even owned a fucking Master System.

>>389953492
>Also Wonderboy is garbage. No ifs, buts, or whatevers.
I agree with this, I played it and was so bored.

>>389953397
Because the Switch can't handle those games. It's just too weak.

this is simply because Switch owners are SO starved for games that they'll buy ANYTHING that comes out

i mean, they went ahead and bought a Rabbids game without any shame and fooled themselves into thinking it's a masterpiece. Think about that for a second.

Knack sold like shit and only got a sequel because Sony really wants their own mascot

>>389953351
>months after a really successful launch
Just because it had a successful launch doesn't mean there's fuckall to play on it. The only noteworthy releases so far have been Zelda and Splatoon 2. Arms didn't do so hot and players have dwindled and Mario Kart is a port. Besides those games, there has been nothing warranting fanfare, it's all been multiplats and digital only tripe no one cares about. Zelda came out 6 months ago so everyone who was going to play the thing already beat it and did everything they want to do by now and Splatoon is niche. Switch owners are literally trying to latch onto anything they possibly can because they're trying to make their purchase worthwhile and it had quite possibly the most barebones launch of any console ever.

>>389953713
It's Nintendo greatest idea since the SNES. Create limited hardware that cost nothing to produce and make games stylized and fun enough to draw crowds en masses. People will buy said device for Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Animal Crossing, etc. You limit the amount of third parties by making weak hardware in order maximum your own profit.

Not really, Knack sold well because it was a launch title. Sony is playing you fools like a fiddle. They're capitalizing on the Dunkey memes, and Nintendo children giving away free advertisement on the competitor's platform. Sony knows exactly what they're doing.

>>389954864
Xbox One for sure is. PS4 no not really.

Also the only argument you could make for the Switch's first year compared to XBO or PS4 is that none of the games that came out for either platform in their first year were as good as Zelda. That would be a subjective argument, but I probably wouldn't even fight you on that. However, that would be as far as that argument would go, because both other platforms had much more to actually fucking play during their first year than the Switch does. Comparing this year for the PS4 vs this year for the Switch is a pretty night and day tale. Okay, Zelda was a good game and a great launch title. Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart did well. Arms existed I guess. Mario and Rabbids XCOM will probably do okay. PS4 had Horizon, Nioh, Yakuza, Gravity Rush 2, Persona 5, and a ton of shit that was PS4 and PC only. The Switch is surviving off of multiplats and indie games that other platforms don't care about.

Sorry OP, but the real gem of this gen is not and will never be on the Switch.

It's Knack 2

The switch is a fantastic console for portable 2d games like this, I played sonic mania and Wonder Boy on it, absolutely fantastic.

All the sales came from the fact it was a forced bundle with PS4s. It was still a garbage game and proof that even the creator of the PS4 doesn't know how his own system works. Which is pathetic.

I guess, I haven't really checked Knack's sales.

The point is, something which so many seem to forget or just be way too stupid to even get, is that first years are always dog shit in terms of first party titles with a few exceptions. This is because it's a new fucking console and no business owner that isn't a complete dumbfuck wont launch an AAA title onto a fresh new console without incentives. Generally what happens is that game publishers wait and see how well a console sells rather than waste a shitton of money on a game for a console that ends up being dead in the water. That's how shit works, regardless of console. So all this bullshit about "Hurr durr X is best console cause games" is just fanboys refusing to accept the fact that the only reason the console has games is because because people, and especially fanboys, bought the console despite not knowing whether there'd be a good library of games or not in the future.

Which is why it's extra retarded when Sony and Xbone fans go "Nintenbros buy a console with no games and are so desperate for games they'll buy anything!" because they're as guilty of doing the exact same thing. It's fine to be a fanboy and buy consoles and games but this rivalry crap has always been stupid and most of it are likely people just trying to "Fit in" by shitposting.

Nothing new. I call any fanboys out if a new game sells on their new hardware, it's not even something totally crazy.
If you have a new console, you want to play on it, it's just natural. Games like Wonderboy are perfect since it doesn't require that much power so all the versions are the same.

If they continue to do that, they're eventually going to alienate their adult audience, who simply have no time to sit at home and play video games.

Port to Nintendo or die.

Indies are usually small game that people pick and play a lot more onshort bursts. SO of course they are going to sell the best on a hadnheld.
Even if its available on PC shit is far more conveninent to play on the go.

Why does wonderboy's art style look so gay

I mean is it intentional or what because every character looks like they were made for gay porn

>>389961287
Just because it was on the WiiU doesn't mean it doesn't count when it's on the switch, especially given the extra portability.

>>389952965
It costs more to release retail switch games, on top of the cost to port the game that is generally the same on all the other platforms.

There is definitely a demographic for Switch, as OP game indicates, but not every game should go there. Nothing has changed since the gamecube days really.

EA stopped releasing FIFA on there but kept releasing their platformers. Why? Because the that's the demo on Nintendo.

>>389961228
You can't say that 'Third parties didn't do well on Wii' when none of them put much of value on the system at all.

Third parties know they can't compete on Nintendo hardware, and desperately try to keep the competition relevant no matter how much sense it makes for them financially. PSVR, PS4 Pro, that sort of thing does get supported despite the lack of real interest.

>>389960923

EA makes platformers?

For now a decent Switch port is probably gonna get you some bank. The Switch is starved for new content, people are still in the honeymoon period where they want to try everything out on their newest system, and Nintendo diehards are used to buying games at full price or a very marginal discount. Once word gets out the Switch will get flooded with tons of indie games which will all be vying for people's attention. Eventually there will also be a bigger catalogue of Nintendo games and third parties will start seeing pitential profit and we'll actually see some more games from them.

It's kind of like when Steam was curated and the few indie games that got on all made bank. Even fucking shit games like Bad Rats sold well as a gag. Once the floodgates opened there was just too many options and most games on Steam are getting sent to their death.

>>389962038
That's because EA, Ubisoft and other major western publishers ALWAYS find ways to sabotage their releases on Nintendo systems. Don't forget how they royally fucked Nintendo with their WiiU releases.

Shockingly when you make bad or shitty ports, Nintendo owners don't buy them like on other systems. When you make a good game or good port like Wonder Boy: The Dragon Trap, Nintendo owners will buy it en mass.

>>389953351
I like Monster World. But short supply and scarce software do not make a successful launch. That Nintendo was unable to sell units to all the customers who wanted them is actually a big failure; customers will lose interest as hype fades. Besides, those are all people they can't sell software to, and that's where the money is. Selling all of your units (at little to no profit) and next to no software indicates nothing more than a risky bet on later days. Nintendo's record on this kind of bet has been spotty of late, and where it's paid out, it certainly hasn't been to my benefit as a fan. I don't care about Pokemon and they've ruined Fire Emblem.

I'm glad the game found an audience.

I love the original, and while I admire and respect the work put into this remake, it's clearly a labor of love, to me it was perfectly superfluous. If I feel like playing the game, the remke has nothing on the original rom as far as I'm concerned - and I bet it's true of most people who share my player profile. So it was sad to see it bomb on release.

>>389964810
Sonic Mania is among the best 2D Sonics, it's very faithful retread of the series.
But if you didn't like Sonic on Genesis, Mania is not going to change your opinion of them. It's really polished and nice, but if you don't like Sonic there's no changing that. If you like Sonic, you'll fucking love it.

Wonderboy on other hand is very retro, and remicent of NES-era exploration platformers. I'd say it does less WOW things than Sonic does, but is competent at what it is. Also, while Mania stands as one of the best examples of what it is, Wonderboy is adequate, if that makes sense.
It depends on what you want.

Sony has expensive paid online, will knowingly brick their systems with updates, overly focused on turning PS4 into a literal cable box, won't support their hardware (Vita, and I guarantee VR won't be supported two years from now). Cancerous policies of gimping competitor versions of software, refuses to support cross play. Mention something shit about gaming companies and Sony is doing it, you're just too much of a Nip cock lover to complain when Sony is railing your ass.

>>389967378
>Mention something shit about gaming companies and Sony is doing it
Does Sony refuses to lower the prices of years old software and hardware? Does Sony produces too little units of something just for scalpers to take them all and resell them at astronomical prices? IMO if Sony sees someone else getting away with something shitty they will try it too, it happened with paid online and such

Anti Nintendo shitposters are getting desparate as fuck. They thought Nintendo was on its last legs after the Wii U blunder but tney've come roaring back with the Switch and their Nintendoomed narratiives are falling apart. It's very entertaining to watch just how far they'll move the goalposts.

>>389967732


You talk about those things like they are flatly bad but the Nintendo part of my collection retains value better than Microsoft or Sony. I don't think the artificial shortages are great but I'm willing to believe that with the Switch it is unintentional and with something like the classic minis that was intended all along.

>>389967952

If you were born before 1990, you like Nintendo.
If you were born after 1990, you like Sony.

You cannot disprove this.

>>389972364
I can by my existence alone. I was born before 90s, and liked nintendo up until the gamecube, where they slipped and stopped making good games.

>>389972364
you're right, but mostly due to the fact that Nintendo is close to non-existant in europe outside of UK and France

>>389973516
It's selling really well in Germany and Spain actually

>>389970973
The problem here is you're completely fucking over the people that supported those games on the WiiU and lends to the idea of 'why should I buy this now if you're going to release a better one later?'
I mean it used to be that even if you did make a game multiplat or port it the original console still had something special about it

>>389972364
What if I like both and I was born either or? Also if you were born before 1990 you probably shouldn't be on 4chan.

Kek.

Why does Nintendo treat indie devs better than actual 3rd parties?

>>389973724
They don't. Indie dev here. Unless you're on the special list in seattle or redmond with Nintendo, they don't give a single shit about you. Sony and M$ treat indies a whole lot better.

>>389973664
what the fuck are you talking about? I bought them on the Wii U because I wanted to play them then on the Wii U. I don't begrudge Nintendo for porting games so they can make money and other people get to play them, that's the most pathetic argument I've seen

>>389973457
When you have to pull numbers out of your ass that are contradicted by every source imaginable, you fucked up.

I'll be genuinely shocked if the Switch manages to outsell the Wii U. Its pace right now is looking about the same. We'll see how the holidays do.

Retard.

>>389953235

>>389973724
It has nothing to do with Nintendo. Major third party publishers KNOW that they cannot compete in a Nintendo dominated industry.

Say that Mass Effect was made, designed, and built ground up for the Nintendo Wii. Not only would it have stiff competition from the Metroid Prime Trilogy (Which is a way better series, by the way) But Nintendo, the company BEHIND THE METROID PRIME GAMES, would make money off of every sold copy of Mass Effect and put that into developing their next big thing.

It's a situation they are extremely desperate to avoid.

>>389973821
>I'll be genuinely shocked if the Switch manages to outsell the Wii U. Its pace right now is looking about the same.

prepare to be shocked m8 because it's pretty much stapled on to have sold more than 20 million by the end of 2018

>>389973971
You're a nintendo shill but you do bring up one good point. If you buy into Nintendo, you have to give a percentage of your sales to Nintendo, so you're essentially funding your competitor's games.

>>389974196
I think you're living in a fantasy land if you think it's going to sell 20 million in that short a time.

>>389974196

Really? It's looking to do just that sometime next spring.

>>389974275
you know it had sold 4.7 million by June right? that's almost 25% in three months and sales have remained consistent

>>389973821
>pace is looking the same as Wii U

holy fuck how delusional do you have to be

I doubt it'll beat out the PS4 in terms of sales but it's gonna sell way better than the hot garbage that was the Wii U

>>389973819
Did you also love the fact you had to pay for dlc they got for free? Or they got dlc that you never got? How about when your WiiU version got gutted so the Switch version would be on par?
How's that shit Nintendo fed you for breakfast?

>>389974428
yeah it probably will I am just being conservative, I would say 20 million by the end of 2018 would be the if sales drop next year, if demand keeps up it could be a lot higher

>>389974540
>Did you also love the fact you had to pay for dlc they got for free?
you know almost every single vidya company does that right? They charge for DLC then release a game of the year addition later with it included

>>389972364
Born in 1989. Nintendo hasn't been worthwhile since the Gamecube era.

>>389973821

>LE SAME PACE maymay

releasing in march and releasing during the holiday season are two different worlds. I will bet hard cash that Switch top 10 million by the end of the year

>>389974668
Sony hasn't been worth much since 2007

>>389952965

I own the game on the Switch, the game was out on the switch a full month before any other platform. If you had a switch and were interested in the game then you probably used the Switch version.

To go a bit further, smaller games like this are a perfect fit on the switch. Games that don't need any of the power of modern consoles or PC's and can play fully well on the switch. You get the same game but the option to play it on the go as well, it makes buying these games sweeter on the switch instead of any other system.

>>389974668

>he never gave wii a chance

plebian. there is some gold hidden in the mountains of shovelware.

>>389967732
Sony lowers their prices because they run their IPs into the ground at an extremely efficient rate and need to keep people buying them even if it's 3.50.

You're a moron to think that supply and demand is anti consumer.

>>389952965

Why is this happening? Lack of software? The type of community? Are Switch users more recessive to buying software? The ps4 has more units sold and yet, sells less software? Why?

>>389974859
He was probably one of the brogamers on the 360 and PS3 and thinks he is too mature for Nintendo now

Call of Duty wont sell as much as on the piss4, but a Megaman game will.
The Nintendo fanbase enjoys colorful games, primarily platformers.
Shit like Rayman and Shovelknight always sells there.

this, where the fuck is Okami and Yooka Laylee

although it will be interesting to see how LA Noire sells

>>389975046

I'm being serious. Not trying to bait or anything. I'm really curious.
The wii u had incredibly poor reception, so it can't be "it is nintendo, therefore people buy".

There needs to be more. Marketing is the obvious answer but what did nintendo do through marketing that sony did not? Or better, nintendo itself with the wii u?

It can't be because it is promoted as a portable device.
That would sales units yes, an interesting gimmick, but sell software as well?

Wii was the most successful console n the previous gen, simply because of the gimmick.
Yet, it was the system with the lowest software sales.

Sony likely paid them not to.
I mean the Megaman Legacy Collection sold great on the 3DS. but then the second collection was on neither the 3DS or the Switchand the same with the Disney Collection.

With good sales from the 3DS version it doesn't make much sense to ignore the platforms with the other games. So something is up.

Could also be that MMCollection2 has been in development for the other systems for a while and that Capcom was still waiting to see how much USF2 and MHXX sold.

Maybe future things like that will come out evenly.

>>389964810
wonder boy is a remake (it even lets you press a button to switch between the new graphics and music and the old graphics and music) whereas sonic mania is a brand new game that looks old
they're both really good, it's hard to recommend one over the other

Toro and Kuro for the most part are secluded from the western world, remaining staples in Japan. I think Sony cat made it in one western game and that was in that awful Smash clone.

>the actually-innovative company is a threat compared to the ones starting all the nickel-and-dime trends, graphics/movies-focus, marketing-locks and political-signaling every other company-onwards copied

I mean yeah, Amiibos are shit, the Switch's online makes me laugh, and Nintendo Corporate has no sense of shame whatsoever, but you REALLY think they're the worst the vidya industry has to offer?

The fact that Rabbids, the god damn fucking minions of vidya, sold just because it was on Switch basically proves this fucker right. I will never not belive this after the fucking god damn Rabbids, fucking RABBIDS ARE YOU ACTUALLY SHITTING ME, got hyped and people here actually saying they bought and enjoyed it. I cannot fucking even anymore.
