Just saying how it is fam.
If all you have is a Switch all I can say is that It will get better over time I hope!
I don't know if he was mocking gamers who predominantly play on switch. He was mocking the person who only has a switch and is complaining about having no games to play.So mocking gamers who predominantly play on Switch? Not cool.
Sorry but this post makes no sense to me. So you want to play games on a portable then but have a pc? So like play em on your monitor.I have a PS4, PC, Vita, 3DS, etc.. Switch is my main system because it is the only system that lets me play games the way I want: free from the tv. so, it's winning per default.
If given the choice, I'll always choose the Switch-version. And there's no way I'll ever play a game like persona 5 tied to the tv. I wouldn't have played persona 4 if it wasn't for the Vita.

The switch is a great "second machine" for most players I feel, but counting on it to fill every gaming want and needs is a bit silly. Not saying that's what you were doing but I think that's the jist of the "mocking" portion

It only matters to you, but that doesn't make any of your statements right. People who enjoy the ports (especially those that didn't own a WiiU - there seem to be many when we look at sales figures), Kirby and Mario Tennis can't say that the first half was a complete letdown.1.) It does matter how I 'feel' about them. They're small, shitty games.
I am pretty sure that Labo was extremely expensive to develop. It IS a really big release for Nintendo and for the Switch. Nintendo did try, they just did something that didn't please most of us core gamers.3.) Come ON, there's a spectrum between BotW and Labo. Nintendo didn't even try.
But Sony does matter, because you are singling out Nintendo for something which is fairly normal in this industry. Again: it's the lack of 3rd party support that should be addressed (what else is there besides Octopath Traveler in 2017?), not the inability of Nintendo to deliver one BotW after another, especially not when they've blown their load in the very 1st year. Expectations like this are ridiculous and this was your whole point in the OP. You want Nintendo to release one big game after another, which is just not possible. Droughts like we have now are to be expected, every single console has them... even WITH 3rd party support and even more so in their early life when the system is still new.4.) Sony doesn't matter. Sony has 3rd-psrty support.
Learn to read. H1/2018 sucks.
Huh? All of their advertisement made it out to seem like it was just something you took on the road/park/bus/work. I don't know what to tell you outside what you already know. Comparing it to last gens "winner" (ps4) empty library for its first 2 years vs the Switch actually having (some) games to play is baffling. We are just going in circles now ^^But that's not Nintendo's claim/goal, agreed? Nintendo wants Switch to be your main device for gaming. That's where we're returning to the premise of this thread

Right, but Nintendo aint getting close to said claim/goal with the current line up. Not even saying it's fair, but that's the expectation put on you when you are released during Microsoft and Sony's mid-cycles.But that's not Nintendo's claim/goal, agreed? Nintendo wants Switch to be your main device for gaming. That's where we're returning to the premise of this thread

I'm claiming you want the Switch to be something it isn't. It prob never will be, seeing how weak the hardware is it won't get many "new" ports that aren't like Sega/Namco/lowtier sports company/Capcom multiports.Are you claiming Nintendo wants Switch to be secondary? Ok ...
(Also they always marketed it as a console that can be taken outside)
What I get from his posts is that he wants Nintendo to have all the new ports/more games that aren't first party that usually release on PC/Sony/MS consoles because he likes playing on a portable. Hardware limitations be damned!I could see being upset about the lineup if you don't like Pokemon, didn't like Zelda and only made it 1/3 of the way through Mario. Also if you aren't into Smash, Bayonetta, already had a Wii U, don't like remasters, aren't an animal crossing fan, not into Splatoon, already played the ports from other generations, aren't into mario sports games or don't like the 2k sports series. in my opinion there are 101 reasons why I love Nintendo Switch, just as much as I love my XBox One and Playstation 4. Neither company is really crushing it this other than one or two major games this year so far. We don't even know what's in store for E3 other than what people making predictions think they know.
I've owned every Nintendo hardware iteration released in North America and I don't see any reason to be disappointed with the Nintendo Switch lineup. Just because there aren't games that interest you doesn't mean that the games aren't there.
I'm claiming you want the Switch to be something it isn't.
I wholly agree. Summer droughts happen ever single year, and it happens across platforms. Nintendo has said they'll be announcing games that will release in 2018 at E3, I think the haters should chill out at least until after E3.It only matters to you, but that doesn't make any of your statements right.

1.) It does matter how I 'feel' about them. They're small, shitty games.
2.) Let's say my 'feelings' don't matter: Reggie himself said Labo is for a different audience (and it clearly is intended for young children).
3.) Come ON, there's a spectrum between BotW and Labo. Nintendo didn't even try.
4.) Sony doesn't matter. Sony has 3rd-psrty support.
There's nothing wrong with the lineup.Nintendo wants the Switch to be what it isn't - because of this lineup.
I think that as Nintendo continues to sell and Nintendo continues to work with 3rd parties and show them what Switch is capable of, they will come around. I also think that a lot of third party announcements are going to surface this year. I knew going into Nintendo Switch that I would have to be patient as far as 3rd party lineups go. Unfortunately Nintendo hasn't really had the strongest showing of 3rd party support since Gamecube. This is a perfectly capable system and the development environment is accessible vs. what Wii U was.I'm claiming you want the Switch to be something it isn't.

(Also that is what I said!)

I actually see a bright future for JRPG's on the system but that might not be for everybody. That being said where is my Metroid Nintendo?There's nothing wrong with the lineup.

I cannot wait for Metroid Prime 4. I think it'll be here sooner than people think.I actually see a bright future for JRPG's on the system but that might not be for everybody. That being said where is my Metroid Nintendo?

If it is not on E3 or TGS I'll start to worry.I cannot wait for Metroid Prime 4. I think it'll be here sooner than people think.
Nintendo did not advertise the Switch as a secondary console. In fact, it's hybrid nature suggests that they want it to be your at home AND your on the go console.Huh?

Its realistically a secondary console as of right now and the OP himself seems to just like to play it with it undocked. On most of the ads they loved the "take it with you everywhere" angle before going back to "playing" with it on a dock. Its a nice gimmick.Nintendo did not advertise the Switch as a secondary console. In fact, it's hybrid nature suggests that they want it to be your at home AND your on the go console.
I'm seeing too many postings here and on other forums that ridicule this thread by saying 'why make this thread before E3?'.
This thread is about how the FIRST HALF of 2018 is unacceptably bad and that no matter what the 2nd half has to offer, it won't make it a great year overall. Unless you're okay waiting over 6 months between new game releases (and that's assuming you like EVERYTHING Nintendo releases).
No 'this has always been like this' or 'Sony is bad, too' make the H1/2018 lineup better. I find it a bit frustrating to see this, honestly, fanboyish attitude. Especially since I'm a Nintendo-fan myself, not someone who's out to shit on Nintendo.
Maybe stop throwing "fanboyish" around to describe people with reasonable expectations who don't share your apparent distress.
Look at what Nintendo is as a company, look at what they historically have been able to do and put out over the course of a generation. That should give you some indication of the number, quality, and spread of games you can reasonably expect from them. If you like, you can look at the first party output of its competitors for another benchmark against which to compare their output. If you're just going with your hopes and dreams or "implicit" messages in their advertising, you will be disappointed.
Acknowledging this reality and not being outraged by it doesn't make the people who don't agree with you fanboys. At worst, it makes them informed consumers with lower expectations than you. *shrug*
I never did that.

What’s an Xbox?Man. You guys are harsh. It seems like you're giving Nintendo a harder time over a slow first half of a year than you've given Xbox over a slow 4 full years.
What do you have against purchasing entertainment?
Are you some sort of commie?
The downside to the hype train that Switch has enjoyed is higher expectations.Man. You guys are harsh. It seems like you're giving Nintendo a harder time over a slow first half of a year than you've given Xbox over a slow 4 full years.
I mean, I'd say expecting games to be released in rough alignment with historical precedent ("It's always been like this") and/or their competitors ("Sony/MS does this too") is the definition of a reasonable expectation. Call me crazy.
And, just as a general note, you've been throwing "fanboy" around in this thread a lot. Maybe I'm misreading you, but I only have your words to go by.
I think 2019 will be a fantastic year for the Switch but 2018 is indeed a little bit disappointing.
Let's hope Bethesda, Square Enix, Ubisoft and Electronic Arts will announce some games at E3.
There are enough PS3/360 games that deserve a Switch port.
I mean, fine, port Wii U games to Switch. But ... how about porting THE ONE open-world game first?! Xenoblade Chronicles X would be the perfect low cost-port to give those who bought a Switch for BotW, Skyrim, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, etc new food (and it's a masterpiece, too. Based Sawano ❤). But no, Nintendo keeps porting everything else. :/
Let not forget about Tokyo Mirage Session, that game also deserves to come to Switch as well.I mean, fine, port Wii U games to Switch. But ... how about porting THE ONE open-world game first?!

But no, Nintendo keeps porting everything else. :/
Labo, Mario Tennis and Sushi Striker are also first half 2018. It doesn't matter how you feel about Labo and Sushi Striker, Nintendo can't please BotW and Odyssey fans every friggin month. That's impossible... it's like asking Sony to bring a God of War, Uncharted, Last of Us etc every 3rd month, but look at how much time's passed between Horizon and God of War and look at how many mediocre games they've published in-between. GT Sport is the only noteworthy game amongst 4 others. Nintendo isn't any different.
The problem is, again, the lack of good 3rd party support that covers for these month of no big Nintendo releases. We need more Mario&Rabbids... and this might change in the next years, if the Switch keeps selling as well as it does, but it's not surprising that we are going through a rough patch right now, especially after that ridiculous first year. Maybe it would've been better to delay XC2 to Febuary or April 2018 instead of a 2017 release (it needed more optimizing anyways).
Oh and btw: I actually want WiiU ports, even though I still own a WiiU. I think it is a huge bonus to be able to play MK8 on the go and I am looking forward to play Captain Toad again. I really hope we get TMS#FE, XCX and Paper Mario. I really want them as Handheld games, the same goes for Indies... I have been buying some Indies a 2nd time for my Switch and am hoping for CrossCode and Secrets of Grindea to come out on this System as well.
I agree that 2018 so far has been bad, even as bad as Wii U droughts. I also need more than just a Smash Wii U port and Pokemon Go Switch Edition to save 2018. Really, it’s gonna have to come down to Fire Emblem and hopefully some HUGE 3rd party AAA support to rescue 2018 from being an absolute disaster.
