Why would you pay out the ass for a 5 year old indie game that can be played on a PC developed in the last decade?
What's worse is that Nintendos E3 is dedicated to 2017 releases... We're fucked.
I hope the Switch succeeds, and happy people like it, but this weird thing Nintendo fans are doing is really turning me off.
I'm on the opposite side. I have a PS4 and a Vita, and I already have most of the multiplat games. Disgaea 5, Puyo Pop Tetris, Fate/extella, Minecraft (Vita)...
ARMS and Splatoon 2 are mostly multiplayer games which I don't have even a tiny amount of interest in. I hated Splatoon on Wii U honestly.
My first year buy list for Switch looks like this:
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (already got)
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
Steep
Skyrim
Fire Emblem Musou
Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade 2
That's it. Every single game is coming out in fall. I have nothing but Mario Kart 8 and I really don't want to play it as I have already played countless of hours on Wii U. I love my Switch and I want games for it asap. It's gathering dust right now and I'm not happy about it. Do you hear me third parties? Make games for this amazing system! Pretty please?

Games I already played? Yah.
And here I'm sitting waiting for reasons to even go pick one up (Zelda and Mario ain't enough), e3 cant come sooner and make or break the Switch.
I don't think it's just Nintendo fans. I'm certainly not a Nintendo fan (or haven't been since SNES) and I absolutely adore this system. As an adult / parent / 40 hour work week slave the Switch has allowed me to dig back into console gaming big time. I want everything to come out for this system, I don't care how gimped it is.
I like the Switch and I own one, but I get increasingly tired of 'blind bliss,' I would call it. I don't know, I own every console and primarily play on PC so maybe I have some kind of bias, and I have never been big on console wars, but something about the Switch train turns me completely off from discussing it. Like the Switch has some good games for it and it was a decent launch, yes. but this year has been surging with great game releases and outside of Zelda there's nothing really on the Switch right now which compares with what's been releasing elsewhere, there's been some solid games but it's mostly been ports and smaller releases. My wallet has been struggling with gaming this year and the Switch certainly didn't help but I wouldn't say the Switch game library is particularly swamped with must buys right now.
I don't know, I guess the reason this bothers me is because it seems like fans trying to market the thing with the 'grass is greener' approach at times, like if they voice out how great things are on their side of the fence then it may cause others to join them. But it feels weird because of the methods I think. Like did you need to create this topic to say you're buying a lot for your Switch? What is it trying to accomplish or discuss? And it's not just been this thread, there's been various Switch threads about people trying to do some positive affirmation thing by being overtly positive. Like I swear this is the third NeoGAF topic on the same subject, which I guess there's an audience to discuss it but it just feels so forced to me.
I hope the Switch succeeds, and happy people like it, but this weird thing Nintendo fans are doing is really turning me off.
Meanwhile, I have Botw and MK8D, but am basically going to be glumly staring at the system until Mario launches because I've already played everything else released a couple of years ago >.<

Hmm... I think the line up is terribly underwhelming. Vast majority of indies I have elsewhere, Zelda is really the only outstanding title beside MK I guess, but kids weren't interested in the WiiU version and I certainly am not.
Good thing stuff like ARMS, Splatoon 2 and Xenobalde 2 are already announced then. Whenever i read "only Zelda and Mario" i feel like these people just don't even bother looking out for what might be for them on the console.

Let's see, I have 9 games and I'm fairly sure none of them were available on other consoles before they released on Switch, with one exception.
Zelda
Snipperclips
1, 2, Switch
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Binding of Isaac Afterbirth + (only available on PC)
Wonder Boy
Mr. Shifty
Shovel Knight Specter of Torment
Thumper, which is the exception
And we're barely 2 months in. I'll be getting NBA Playgrounds too.
So still only Zelda and Mario as reason for why I'd get a Switch, NOW WHAT?

Broaden your horizons. Xenoblade, Arms, Splatoon... All good stuff from Nintendo. These are relevant IPs that represent current Nintendo. Get with the times.
No one's forcing you to get one.
I'm in the same place. I played Zelda on my Wii U though. There are no games that I want for Switch, we'll see what happens at E3. I think that maybe a new Metroid would be a system seller for me.
I was the exact same with the PS4 and it was stupid, lol. I pretty much bought every game that came out in the first 6 months. It was a terrible waste of money as I haven't even played half of them.The same happen to me the first six months after the X1 release. I wanted to own all the games released. Eventually realised that I don't have enough time to play them all. At the moment I haven't even touched Crimson Dragon.
Right now, I don't even buy games that I'm highly interested because of time and, after last holiday, I won't buy games at launch unless it's something monumental.
I would like to try Xenoblade 2 because for some reason it reminds me of Phantasy Star Online. Problem is I didn't play the first game and have no desire to play the sequel if I didn't complete the original. I'm hoping it will get a Switch port.Broaden your horizons. Xenoblade, Arms, Splatoon... All good stuff from Nintendo. These are relevant IPs that represent modern Nintendo. Get up to speed.
Hmm what so special about this line up am I missing something?
Before, with the Wii U (and even the Wii to a degree) the system itself rarely offered anything that warranted a premium price point, as Nintendo hardware has been underpowered but the portability factor completely changes that.
NOW... don't buy it if it isn't for you? Life can be so easy sometimes.So still only Zelda and Mario as reason for why I'd get a Switch, NOW WHAT?
Sorry for not having your taste (NOT).
This person have pretty much the reaction I had to ARMS, and Splatoon.

Agreed. I think Wii U probably had a better lineup cuz it had Monster Hunter really fast and it mops the floor with any game on the Switch right now.Hmm what so special about this line up am I missing something?
Other than Zelda which is a must have (and also got a solid WiiU version) none of those games you bought seems special, I can't say it's an horrible line up cause let's face it, PS4 and XB1 didn't even have one must have title for a very long time, but it's not anything even close to being great or good, just a decent at best.
Shouldn't warrant a thread about Switch's "killer first year" that's for sure, we had far better first years from other consoles in the past, including and especially from Nintendo.
It's made up primarily of games that actually make sense on a Nintendo console, which is not usually the way we see third-party support pan out for a Nintendo system in the early days.
This is not the reason Wii U titles didn't warrant a premium price point.
So there's no continuation to the story of the other game(s) at all? If that's the case, I'll pick it up at launch,You haven't even played them and you're already writing them off. You're simply not open to new experiences and that's you're fault.
The games are standalone, so you don't need to play the first game. Xenoblade 2 is a sequel in the same way Final Fantasy 2 is a sequel to Final Fantasy 1.
I really don't think there's anything wrong with being completely disinterested in a game. Are you supposed to just buy it and try it because it's Nintendo? Surely there are games which you have no interest in that you don't purchase? Or do you purchase games you think look bad just to be open minded?You haven't even played them and you're already writing them off. You're simply not open to new experiences and that's you're fault.
