I've been seeing some of this raise its head lately and I just feel like, after the Wii and WiiU, that we should have learned a simple lesson by now.
Most games just aren't coming to the Switch.
The Switch is a great, amazing console that will surely have a satisfying library, but some things should be clear.
Developers probably aren't going to make downgraded ports of games designed to run on consoles with higher technical specifications. They tried that some on the Wii and it was honestly pretty bad.
Even for games that would be "perfect for the Switch," sometimes making a port just doesn't fit with the developer's budget or resources or marketing strategy.
I know that everyone wishes and everyone hopes, but, seriously, Nintendo has been mercilessly assaulting that part of us since we were all devastated to learn that Final Fantasy wasn't coming until the Nintendo 64. It should be dead by now.
That's my take. I could be wrong. I'd like to hear other opinions.
