They were desperate enough to call in Nagoshi announcing eventual development for the console at an unknown point. If major projects were coming anytime soon, they would have been shown - just like during the 3DS reveal.

So because someone said something you don't like, you decided to post shit as well. Good job.

Are we really doing this? Super Mario Odyssey and Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild are pretty much destined to be super high rated games.
Hardware can only go so far. Its about the quality of games.

You are always so positive.
Of course we are! This is Neogaf. Home of industry prophets and armchair evaluators everywhere! The Switch has already failed, Neogaf told me so.

Yep, let's just wait untill the switch conference.

It's not exactly an uncommon viewpoint
As much an opinion as the other guy's.
i think its pretty clear that im talking strictly about third party. of course nintendo is gonna support a nintendo console.
do you expect destiny 2 on switch ? cyberpunk 2077 ? next tomb raider ? maybe battlefield ?
no fucking way. its simply too weak. ms and sony already try to jump higher than current gen with pro/scorpio while nintendo just revealed something that tries to be three things at the same time

Nobody expects any of these things and nobody cares.

You say that, but he's not entirely wrong. He could have said it in a less shit-posty way but the amount of effort it takes to make your games for a console will heavily dictate which platforms you support.
I like to think I just call it like I see it.
My statement wasn't really overly negative, just the way things are likely to be judged from a business perspective.

I was only talking about a game & giving a prediction of it. bidguy was talking shit about this platform not getting any games because "shit hardware", etc.
Big difference.

Regarding 3ds' third party support...
Developing for 3DS is cheaper than for the Switch. Devs couldn't really port the 3DS games to the Ps360 and Ps4/X1 for hardware reasons.
With rising development costs, seeing how big of a leap the technology is from 3DS to Switch, their games could end up on Ps4/X1 as well now.
It's always easier to port your game to a more powerful hardware than vice versa.
Unless Nintendo moneyhats them, ofcourse.

RE7 is a weird game, I wonder what Capcom's targets are. It seems like a low-key Spin-off in its marketing campaign but it's the next Resident Evil. Maybe they want to see how it performs first before they put more resources into it for a Switch version that, let's be frank here, wouldn't be worth it for Capcom anyway.
I feel like Skyrim will be a make-or-break point for many third parties.

yeh, but does it have netflix?
People are pointing out how the hardware is far too weak for third parties to embrace it and your response is "look at those first party games"?
That doesn't make a lick of sense.

How many RE games came to 3ds? Oh yeah 1 and it under-performed people stop making this be about the hardware,

Makes sense, its too much work to downgrade and isn't worth it. They'd basically have to make a second game just for the Switch.
This will be a common theme with most publishers as it was with the Wii and WiiU.

3rd party talk? Switch is destined to get more support than Xbox One from Japan overall . Capcom skipping Resident Evil 7 with Switch sucks but its okay. Switch will get MONSTER HUNTER someday.
Now if Final Fantasy 7 remake skips Switch and Kingdom Hearts 3 skips it... then we will have a huge problem.
Western indies will go on Switch.
But the big westerm party guys? Nah, they will be super hesitant on Switch UNLESS it sells super good. Even your Titanfall guys will come around if Switch finds success.
I already have a PS4. I'm good doing a PS4 and Switch combo.

Oh, they included that stuff to attract third parties? Why aren't they lining up?

Except it's a continuation for the series so it would be weird to leave that one out.
Why would FF7 come to Switch?

Xenoverse 2 is on Switch. Disagea 5 on Switch. Those are 3rd party games.
I'm not a PC guy. I dont care too much about specs. I care moreso about the quality of games.

We're living in a world where joycons and hd-rumble are somehow more relevant and technically advanced than VR!
Just so you know, before you continue with this discussion.

There was no decision. It simply cannot be done without a major overhaul just for one platform.
Even with this consideration, it's still be cutting edge in this market due to the long R&D tail and general turn around times vs. world tech movements. There is no X1 successor at the moment so at the very least they are using nVidia's best mobile tech with some of the best APIs on the business.
The original comment was accurate. It's also more a statement of the sum of parts makes the whole than this clockspeed reductionism too many people fall into.
Real talk, though, I think the game would suffer on Switch since its artstyle and scares heavily rely on photorealism in my eyes. While its CPU is great, we know its GPU leaves something to be desired (ahem) for a home console. Just because it can be taken on the go doesn't make it anymore appealing for this game to be on the system. Wearing diapers in public is also frowned upon.
REmake 2 on Switch would be fantastic, however, and I can totally see Capcom doing that.

I wouldn't look to far into this. Capcom is one of the most consistent third parties that Nintendo works with. If a Nintendo platform exists there WILL be top tier Capcom games on it. Even the fucking DS and Gameboy Color got Resident Evil games.
Switch probably won't get Resident Evil 7, but I bet you your sweet ass that they will bring over REmake, REmake 0, and the modern ports of 4, 5 & 6. Hell we'll probably find the HD ports of Revelations 1 & 2 as well.

The quality of the game can only go so far when it's appeal is limited by several factors INCLUDING hardware. Look at all the great titles on Wii U. Those great Nintendo games didnt stop people from keeping their money in their pockets and walking away.
You limiting the discussion of hardware to merely specs doesn't change the fact that hardware needs to reach a minimum level to get worthwhile third party support. Without on par hardware there are "no games", so the quality of the games doesn't even have a chance at entering the conversation.
So is a 7th gen FIFA port. So is an extremely watered down DQH2 vita port. So is an anything but Skyrim remastered port. Plenty of software shaping up to be the kind of software Nintendo fans have pointed to as "lazy third party efforts."
But as you say hardware doesn't matter.
It would have been nice for Nintendo to get dev kits out there a lot sooner instead of pretending the Switch didn't have an easily predicted gimmick. You know, allowing other to fill out the gaps in their library instead of just thinking about themselves.
Take Pokémon for example, why reveal Stars only 2 months after Sun/Moon when it's still printing money?
Reggie told me its because of those sweet, sweet HDRumble effect. Shiva summon Will never be the same.

Do we know exactly how underpowered the switch is relative to the Xbone? Im pretty sure Switch can handle a downgraded 720p RE7. I think the issue is more the market rather than the hardware, though it certainly doesn't help.
