I think the Switch is going to be a great indie machine.
I don't think anyone should expect steam-like solutions in the console space
it'd be nice but I think only Microsoft is really doing anything like that and it's not for everything

So more old games. Not really exciting.
Loved Little Inferno. It was a really memorable experience and relevant to me at the time. I've seen World of Goo played to completion and never seen or played HRM. I'd probably be better served just buying HRM on Wii U, but it's cool to see these games packaged for launch.
edit: Ah they're being sold separately. Guess I'll just be procrastinating on getting HRM for Switch now instead of Wii U lol

Lmao!
Like I said he's trolling and with his lasts few posts he's trying to "tame" it down after he's been found out.

Sorry if this is repeating another post - Human Resource Machine is a great game. It's designed to teach you the fundamentals of programming, but its presented in the form of a game. You have to move stuff from the inbox to the outbox, but you're also setting up if/then statements and automating everything to make it as efficient as possible. I don't have a programming/mathematics mind, but I'm always trying to stretch myself. It's pretty great.
Possibly worst titled game ever though.

New flash, not everyone played it or owned the console it was released on. Some liked the game and don't mind double dipping to support the developer.
Then don't buy the game instead of coming and derailing the thread, it makes you look childish and annoys everyone else.

When people have to take a break from Zelda, they are going to want some smaller, less expensive alternatives. It's very smart to have a lot of those options on launch day. Not everyone has played every game so these will be new to a lot of people.

It was already purchasable and playable thanks to BC, and controlled great with pointer, so little reason for a specific Wii U version.
The Wii U eShop purchases are listed in the My Nintendo app. Surely this purchase info would be available to the Switch eShop as well. I would want at least to have a system upgrade fee option from nindie developers.

I love Tomorrow Corporation! World of Goo was the first indie game I ever played; even my non-gaming cousin got hooked on it! Little Inferno is a title I still go back to when I just wanna relax. Human Resource Machine is tricky, but engaging. Would definitely pounce on a bundle!

Thus giving the developers less incentive to bother porting it
Uhh.. No? These aren't VC.
Now this would be more likely. Assuming if allowed and even if these devs wanted to do so.
And the biggest PS4 games were, I'd argue, remasters of GTA V and TLoU - many months later.
Off topic, sorry. No need to continue this discussion in this thread.

Nice that indies are hopping in.
I mean, most console launches consist of a couple of new games, and a few games brought forward from the previous generation, and a few remasters.
Switch, like any other console, is getting a mix of all of this. I'm assuming you're not just talking about the launch lineup tho, since the 5-7 year thing is the common argument about Skyrim coming to it. Either way, the launch follows the same rule, and more is added to the lineup almost daily.
Zelda is new, but also arguably a port
Snipperclips is new and exclusive IP
ARMS is a new exclusive IP
1-2 Switch is a new exclusive IP
Splatoon is a new entrant
Mario Odyssey is a new entrant
Shovel Knight is coming with a brand new expansion that hits the Switch first, as well as coop and some switch exclusive features.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a new entrant
MK8 is totally a port, but I think that most people are going to enjoy getting new content for this and wouldn't mind double dipping
Also worth pointing out that most of their big titles just for 2017 are open world games based on Nintendo Franchises, and also Skyrim, so the focus is no longer on only providing quick fix gaming experiences.

little inferno is okay, but excited about world of goo and human resource machine.
I have it on iPad and really like it. It's like a simpler version of a zachtronics game (SpaceChem, infinifactory, and especially TIS-100). You have a series of tasks to carry out that slowly get more complex. You solve them by writing tiny computer programs in a sort of assembler, but it's very straightforward
It adds a layer of extra challenge by having goals for how many steps the program takes to complete (which is also something the zachtronics games do).
Definitely worth getting on switch (or iPad). If you like it, then have a look at the zachtronics games too.
You made quite the effort there, looking up my posts. Although i stand by that because that game fell so below its potential not having online. It would greatly improve that title. Making it something with a competitive nature at least adds a flavor to the game not fully explored before.
And that, is way different than straight up ports.
But Good effort though
I stated this earlier. My issue isnt with these games specifically. Just the library in general. But thanks
The issue many are having with your post was not specifically about your opinion of the Switch library, but rather that you felt the need to make such a comment in a thread titled "World of Goo, Little Inferno, Human Resource Machine coming to Switch March 3rd".There are plenty of other threads that are more appropriate to discuss the Switch's lineup.
Sure, the option could be there but devs would be under no obligation to do that. You can do crossbuy between 3DS and Wii U but lots of devs didn't/don't.
World of Goo was on Wii.
Feels cheap to build a catalog of 5+ year old games like Skyrim and World of Goo.
Every news I read makes me regret selling my Wii U, but I'm holding out hope for a new Animal Crossing and all will be forgiven and I'll be there on day one for AC as with all other Nintendo systems.

World of Goo? Hell yeah.
The Japanese localized versions will come at a later date.

Alright.
then what about two posts down?
Also, wasn't that hard at all, you just made the post a little over a week ago. I was replying exactly to what i quoted. You made it seem like wanting play an old game was bad or something.

Ooh nice, will buy if they have a decently priced bundle. Loved World of Goo and been meaning to try their other games.
