It worries me that the Switch image  could get hit by so many indie games.

Nintendo should really push some third parties to make big games. Even enhance ports like Skyrim.

 

I hope there's an absolute ton of indie games; it'll be great for smaller games on the go. It wouldn't be at the expense of bigger 3rd party games at all; I don't see how it could be?

There's so many indie games that would be amazing on the switch. Stardew Valley for example will be awesome. The PS Vita was worth keeping for the indie games(and P4G!), sometimes they are much nicer to play on a handheld.

According to Retro Gamer, the ARCADE GAME SERIES (all caps, apparently) series that's already on the PS4 (and presumably Xbone) are coming to the Switch too. Did we know that already?

 

The screenshot that listed all the games coming out had ARCADE ARCHIVES listed on it. That sounds like the series of arcade classics that a company has been steadily releasing on PS4.

 

Which includes the best arcade game of all time. Bubble Bobble

It does seem like they have tried to make the switch a bit more friendlier to 3rd parties. With the Nvidia tech etc and trying to make it easier to port pc games over, the more affordable pricing for dev kits for smaller studios. I really do hope it does well ^_^ 

 

@daifuco even if it did develop an indie image, that is one of the reasons the PS Vita continues to chug along somehow allowing for it to receive the odd game like world of final fantasy and the likes. The encouragement of lots of decent little indie games will also help sales. More sales for the Switch would mean its more likely to get the bigger triple A games due to the larger audience ^_^ So there are pros to it. And who knows one of those small indie games could produce something special, there is a growing market for them.

The devkit not being that much more expensive than retail units could make it tempting for homebrew stuff assuming it's basically a normal switch with the ability to run unsigned code. A switch that could run all the stuff that's usually done in a raspberry pi but also run proper Nintendo games would be pretty tempting for £500.

3DS of course. Wouldn't be wise if they wanted more people to buy the Switch. Eurogamer has been pretty confident that Pokémon Stars will come out on the Switch. Needs Monster Hunter too.

CEO has already said they're looking at a 3DS successor that isn't Switch and I agree with him (unless a Switch Mini is pocketable, doubt it).

If Mario Kart 8 couldn't do that for Wii U, then this argument has failed.

 

Having said that, they need Pokemon on Switch.

 

When have Kart games alone sold a system? They're a great addition but hey.

3DS is effectively dead as soon as this is out. It's only sold well because of Pokemon Sun/Moon over xmas. No other reason. And no other mainline Pokemon games will be released on it. So it's dead. 

 

Though it's gonna be like £80 or something soon.

 

I'm just waiting for the inevitable YouTube videos of kids getting a 3DS for Christmas when they wanted a switch and flipping out.

 

"it's Nintendo, what's the difference?"

Well, yes to the people who can afford a switch. I still think 3DS will be massively popular with kids, especially as it's cheaper and doesn't look like it will break so easily.

Still got Yokai Watch 2 and 3, and that Layton game on the way. They're big system sellers.

Currently we don't have a system like that in place for Nintendo Switch, but we haven't made any final decisions about how we would approach that going forward in the future, so unfortunately I can't provide any concrete answer for you right now.

I can see Nintendo holding the next Pokémon until the mini switch arrives.

Anyway there was a Pokémon this year I think.

 

I was looking at my iPhone today, and wondering - something as big as an iPhone 6 Plus, little (non removable) controllers on the ends, you have a mini Switch. Have a mode to use it as a controller for a "big" Switch, and itprintsmoney.gif
