Support NeoGAF

I don't see how Switch is going to get any more 3rd party support than the Wii U did.

Well one presumes this will eventually replace the 3DS, so it'll probably get a lot of third party support from Japan

Best-selling new IP? What?

Did you forget Overwatch exists?

As of September, Splatoon had sold 4.57 million copies on an install base of 13 million units, that's an absurd attach rate. It's also the best-selling new IP in Japan since Wii Sports. Overwatch existing doesn't mean Splatoon wasn't a massive success.

That being said, Splatoon is still not the best selling new IP of recent years. Splatoon and Overwatch can both be massive successes.

Honestly, in terms of Nintendo games, it's had the higher quality games than the Wii did.

I mean I liked the Wii U better as a whole than Wii, but mainly because I hated waggle and SD graphics in the HD era.

Wii still had better core games to me thoug. Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 (way better than 3D World IMO), 2 Zelda games I loved to just one late in life that's also on Switch, Metroid Prime 3 to no Metroid, Super Paper Mario, Wii Sports, etc.

It wasn't steller for me by anymeans, but still more than Wii U since I didn't care for W101, Bayonetta, Pikmin 3 (first I played in series) etc., and wasn't as enamored with Smash, Mario Maker etc. as some were.

Should get a lot of the Vita devs as well.

Nintendo cannot just abandon the 3DS... but I imagine there will be a LOT of crossover between the platforms. Also, I do not know HOW you people can get so many games in a year. I usually do not have the time to play more than 3-4 games in a year, and I've already got Horizon, and Persona 5 on my list from PS4.

I seriously considered getting one of these in March with Zelda, but I'm not sure I will be able to find one. Sold out everywhere online that I have looked - Amazon is probably the best bet. In the first year alone on Switch, I would want Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, and Mario. That is plenty enough for someone like me

I will probably end up picking it up this Fall around Black Friday, if I can actually get one...



And bring on the Wii U ports - I missed out on that system

If gaming time is limited as you suggest, it seems most gamers don't want the only games they have time to play being from Nintendo. If it's that or 3rd party games, the masses have spoken. Few will buy a Nintendo-only machine.

Attach rate was not the claim. Best-sellng new IP was the claim, which was refuted.

How can Reggie say the Switch lineup of 1 game every 2 months is a good thing?! I know PR, but realllly?
