Hey,
Did you see the game lineup for switch? The port of the ground breaking go vacation! Remeber, for the wii? Thats right. Switch is getting a port of a wii game and it costs $50! Hahah wtf how arrogant and it costed $40 on the wii. I knew this would happen. Switch is just gonna be a port machine. And dont forget the expensive cardboard. It is obvious switch
is like a wii 2.0. And in many ways switch has a more desperate first party line up than Microsoft.
This is why the Switch isn’t performing as well as it should in the market. Someone asked me, “Why is Mario Odyssey selling so well? It sells better than Zelda BoW.” The answer to that is that Mario has ALWAYS sold better than Zelda. But this Mario Odyssey is the only AAA First Party Nintendo game designed for the Switch. Fire Emblem Warriors? 3DS port. Hyrule Warriors? 3DS and Wii U Port. Kirby and Xenoblade Chronicles 2? Not AAA First Party. Splatoon 2? Meh.
Nintendo also is very obstinate about online quality. Nintendo can make great single player and local multiplayer games, but there are no great online multiplayer games. Splatoon 2 is NOT a great online multiplayer game. You cannot have greatness online if you are using a phone app. But the reason why Nintendo is doing it is because they are ridiculously cheap.
You know what Nintendo’s online strategy should be? Freedom. Maybe have a centralized server for most like Splatoon 2, but allow us to make our own connections outside of Nintendo’s networks. Allow us to bring in third party servers. Nintendo’s job is to make the game. I can make my own server. I don’t need Nintendo to make the server.
You know what would be brilliant? If Nintendo allowed a version of Discord onto the Switch. Just use that in the background.
