Switch is FACTUAL evidence it doesn't matter how well you sell, you're still not guaranteed to get good 3rd party support.
We are on year 3, and still all 3rd parties continue to bring to it are old ass games for increased prices. I doubt its even a power issue, games than could easily run on it (Tony Hawk 1+2 or any anime shit for example) STILL skip it, and at best come a full year later, at full price.
Is Nintendo just doomed to get shit 3rd party support no matter how well they do?

Didn't EA say most 3rd parties don't wanna support Switch because Nintendo games always sell better anyway

It's not just power, but also architecture. Switch is ARM, whereas PS4/X1 are x86. While this isn't a problem for games that use licensed engines like UE4, a lot of smaller devs using their own engines will need to spend a lot of time and money to port to the one platform, so it doesn't always happen.

You do realize there are multitude of tools to convert stuff to ARM easily right

Third parties sell less games on Nintendo because they compete with Nintendo games. The lower spec hardware is also a reason but it’s not the reason; if Nintendo had spec parity the situation would be much the same. Switch has vastly outsold the PS4 in Japan but the PS4 still gets a lot more low spec weeb shit because those nip publishers think their audience is on PS4.

It gets every single 3rd party indie and those games are a lot better than what aaa studios put out today.

Maybe Nintendo jews them on licensing and stuff.

There's a middle ground between indie and triple A though, and those are the only games worth playing. There's maybe one good indie per year, tops.

Everything is ported to the Switch tho

who cares, people buy nintendo systems for Nitnendo games, 3rd parties are just a nice extra.

I honestly think 3rd parties are braindead when it comes to Switch. Like, they make some fucking awful decisions that no sane company would make.
>Bandai Namco porting Jump Force over multiple other anime games that sold better
>Capcom trying to charge people 20 bucks for DMC2
>EA charging 50 dollars for Burnout Paradise
>Even indie devs are acting retarded at times, A Hat in Time devs kicked and screamed before bringing a Nintendo inspired game to a Nintendo platform
Who are making these retarded decisions?

KYS OP. Just because you can't cope with reality doesn't mean a new alternative one will materialise around you.

What are they?

Who cares about 3rd party.
Nintendo is the only studio still making quality games.

>Kakarot
>SAO
>Code Vein
>One Punch Man

Nope, this is not really an issue at all. It may have been an issue 20 years ago but not today. Both XB1 and PS4 use different APIs and protocols and functions. There are compatibility modes and universal functions to aid in cross platform porting between them and other platforms regardless of architecture. Yes developers still write architecture-specific code during optimization but both XB1 and PS4 also have their own platform-specific code.

Nobody is writing in assembly except for homebrew developers. If architecture difference mattered we wouldn’t get a Witcher 3 port. ARM is well-documented and even more widely used than x86. Smart phone development surpassed PC development years ago. There is no issue here at all

Dear god how long are we going to have these autist seeth about the Switch success?

Thats a retarded statement. If you release it on another console it wont do mario kart numbers either. The only franchise that pulls nintendo numbers is gta. Not even the bundled sony exclusives manage to do nintendo like numbers.

Also many multiplatforms, specially indies sell better on Nintendo.

None of those can run on Switch. You have a Switch and you're still asking this? Also Code Vein is not an anime game.

So indie game devs are not third party devs now?

>wii u

Making a downgraded port is a headache they don't want and I guess they've run the numbers and it isn't worth paying another company to port it for them either.

So Jump Force can run but none of those can?

I honestly think third parties are just waiting for the Switch 2 which will likely be similar in strength to a PS4 and then they're going to dump all their shit on it.

Jump Force runs worse than all of those on PS4/X1 and they still chose that one to port to Switch

OP here, I'm not seething about its success. I'm seething because its a success, and still 3rd parties refuse to put anything not old and overpriced on it. You can make the Wii U ports argument all you want but fact of the matter is Nintendo still makes brand new games on it when most 3rd parties can't even port old shit correctly

Nobody cares about 3rd party games except retards
Even children understand this and the best seller for Switch speak for themselves

Microsoft gets great third party support. Didnt stop them from coming in 3rd this gen.

By that time no one will give a shit about those games though, people will beg for the ps5/sex games.

Even Jump Force needed more than a year late port.

It's not that Nintendo doesn't get 3rd party support, it's just the sales numbers had shown that 3rd party games that have been optimized to run smoothly on the Switch have been selling well while unoptimized shit and 'stream edition' have flop. Most devs are used to the excess that other consoles have that they can hide and overpower any of their game's inadequacy with the console's specs, so they can't optimize their game if their life depended on it. It's why games nowadays have so many goddamn patches, because of how horribly incompetent they are.
