If you take away ports, is the number still noteworthy?

There must be two versions of Kotaku then - every article I’ve seen about a new Nintendo-made Switch game comes with cries of ‘FINALLY there’s a new game’ or somesuch nonsense. Basically eluding to the tried and true story of ‘nothing ever comes out on Nintendo consoles’

*sees the next 2 weeks dominated by Switch releases*

Have you read the responses in articles about those games? The people most invested in DOOM and Skyrim are so livid that they dare exist on Switch, that you’d consider their availability a curse, not a blessing.

Again, you underestimate how obstinate Gamers can be (the only section of people who still care about RDR). Nintendo saved Bayonetta 2 from publishing death because they thought it would send Gamers flocking to Wii U. Did that sell millions of systems? Nope - it got Gamers to throw temper tantrums and hurl death…

I don’t see a problem with people spending money how they want.

Nonono, but what about muh’ narrative?

yeah, if it were Horizon it’d be super pretty and so incredibly boring that it doesn’t matter.

I don’t even like Half Life and would love to see this happen.

I think they’re having a fine time selling millions without it.

I’d amend that to say ‘there’s something about buying a game once, buying one piece of hardware, and having it be my home/portable console.’

They don’t miss it - they intentionally ignore it because “LOL NINTENDO CONSOLE CAN’T RUN A 6 YEAR OLD GAME” makes for a better argument.

*whispers*

a system that veered dangerously close to “pay-to-win” waters.

Something something, Every Year is the End of Nintendo (tm)

The Switch is region free. But packaging in a specific language and to specific region guidelines/laws/regulations are not.

I guess here is as good to ask as anywhere.

Mario, while being great, is once again the same type of game with little innovation or merit.

Huh, the only one I think doesn’t deserve to be there is Horizon.

or replace ‘guys on Reddit’ with ‘Gamers’ and you’re still 100% accurate.
