People who want to play Call of Duty already have a console one which they can play Call of Duty. That console also has all of their friends they play Call of Duty with. Nobody bought a WiiU to play Black Ops 2, and nobody would buy a Switch to play (insert this year's CoD here).
Then Nintendo fans will complain about late port like they did when the WiiU released and no one will buy those games.
No though??? If you're an industry pundit and you still think 3rd party support matters an iota to nintendo, you have not been paying attention.
Nintendo went from exclusive Resident Evil 4 to no Resident Evil at all, they can only blame themselves for this.
If what people are saying about looking so much worse on base PS4 than Pro, imagine how it would look on Switch.
You'll have to own two consoles to play Ninty games and third-parties. Again.
As a first party-only machine they shouldn't be asking for a subscription plan.
How many people are going to pay for the subscription of two consoles?
So it's actually money that determines these things and not horsepower. Gotcha ;pNintendo went from exclusive Resident Evil 4 to no Resident Evil at all, they can only blame themselves for this.
They aren't buying a Switch just for those games in particular, but it incites people in general to have those options. Seeing as multiplatform games make up a good portion of sales, and that having a big library of diverse titles including Nintendo games is a net profit for everyone, third parties just make a system more attractive. That was one of the Wii U's biggest stumbling blocks.
"everyone has always hoped that whatever Nintendos next system would be, it would finally rebuild those bridges with third parties and develop a system capable of playing all these big games."
No though??? If you're an industry pundit and you still think 3rd party support matters an iota to nintendo, you have not been paying attention. Same if you think Nintendo is going to build a powerhouse console that can compete with MS/Sony. Tired of all these ignorant takes by people who should not be getting paid to write about this industry.
The majority of those third parties listed on the Switch slide actually supported the Wii U in some way (whether a single port, a VC title or full-blown support). That slide alone will not and should not convince anyone of anything yet.Switch has third party support, we saw that during the presentation on a slide.
Can we stop with the contributor articles? They're basically glorified GAF postings.

What does it matter whether it's a portable? The Wii U is dead and that leaves a void the switch has to fill anyways.
And GAF is no place for a GAF posting.

Yeah that's a contributor. They get paid for page views so they usually tend to write quite controversial things.
The game itself released before Nintendo Switch so it makes sense that they skipped it. Not saying that's the only possible reason.
I would have double-dipped if the HD rumble feature was supported.Of everyone interested in RE7, who would have waited over a month to buy it on the Switch?
The switch can't do VR
Therefore no RE7 on VR.
If its not coming to switch because no vr, why is it coming to xbox one? It doesn't do vr.RE7 isn't coming to switch because the game was clearly designed with VR in mind, while traditional screen play is possible the devs clearly wanted the players to be able to experience it in VR.

This isn't something to extrapolate how nintendo is scaring away 3rd parties or how 3rd parties are still reluctant about working with nintendo (hell RE7 is a capcom game and capcom fucking loves working with nintendo, look at monster hunter).
It's also clear that 3rd parties aren't look at the switch as a platform to put their current AAA releases on.
Honestly I don't really see what this article is trying to do besides state obvious facts and then grossly misinterpret them. I don't even see the purpose of bringing up RE5 at all was here. The Wii got tons of RE games on it, as special edition of RE4, the darkside chronicles, and the archives anthology. Hell the Wii U got resident evil revelations 1 and so did the 3DS So it's not like capcom is terrified of putting resident evil on the console.
It's just obviously that capcom doesn't want to do major downgrades to get their games working on lesser hardware.
This article made me salty as fuck.
Just a bunch of speculation regarding whether or not the Switch could even run the game. I doubt that's the reason the devs don't currently want to make a Switch port. More like, they're not up for supporting a platform that they don't even know will be successful.

Lol what? they released mercenaries as exclusive at launch and had a aaa title called revelations 4 months later for 3dsLike I said in another thread; Capcom is well aware that they have created a Resident Evil fanbase on Nintendo systems. You don't spent years planting crop, with no intention to reap at harvest. The problem is, there's nothing to reap right now! Switch's installed base is Zero at the moment, and Capcom has never been there at/around launch with an RE game. Not every decision is about power, especially given Switch's very modern architecture. Resident Evil will come in some form or the other(and I'm sure it'll look great on the Switch) but it may be a little too early.

Why shouldn't they complain about late ports?
I think one day on GAF I saw a thread speculating what HD Rumble could do for horror games, then I was hoping for RE7 on Switch, and I'm pretty sure the very next day there was a thread confirming it wouldn't happen.You know, honestly, I think a title like R.E. would be crazy to play if..well.. you know that bit with 1‑2‑Switch where the guy could feel ice cubes individually, think what they could do with that in an R.E. game. Could you feel an object in the game and know what it was? Some serious possibilities there for a game like R.E.
Because it's completely normal that a game releasing before the console is even out comes out later on this same console.
Because people only criticize Nintendo for clicks... It's not like they're annoyed with decisions made by the company or anything.
Learn to read champ.What game did From Software put out on the Wii U?
That's the most salient point in the whole article.Perhaps theres little purpose in continuing to beat this point into the ground
So yes the articles about Switch have been generally negative. The post here have been as well. Instead of misattributing that to blind Nintendo hate.. it is quite possible that people are not fond of the Switch and genuinely think it is "bad" or will do poorly. A Forbes contributor or a trusted journo are just opinions at this point. You would likely get as many click by saying "Switch - Poised to Win the Gen" as you would a negative article.. perhaps more.
You can a do a self-check... do you see the good in all Nintendo news? do you see the bad? or do you synthesize the information and try to process it to reach a conclusion based on that information regardless of nature.
I have bought a Switch but I -99% percent think it is a WiiU caliber system. Most of the information leads me to that conclusion. I feel good when I see raving Nintendo fan articles about how "awesome it is"...and bad when I read everything saying" yikes.. I hope things change for the switch or DoooOOoooM!".
The reality of the situation based on the information I can find is... there is anemic 3rd party for an underpowered gimmick(handheld) console that likely to not gain a ton of traction with Western audiences and that will likely not change and it will have a short life span if it doesn;t catch fire as a super powered handheld.
It does matter that RE7 isn;t coming to switch..just not to me..because I don;t expect that kind of thing to happen. I hope for a world where the Switch gets insane support and a plethora of unique and interesting 3rd party Ips, but I am happy with about 4-5 good 1st party ones.
