Just saw Forbes latest article, calling the Switch a "re-release machine." As much as I enjoy the console, I can see where the attitude is coming from. Amidst slews of 2D indie titles, big name games from western developers stand to be non-existent, save for their ability to cash in on last gen games that can be re-released on the Switch without too much energy. Nintendo is already doing this themselves by recycling Wii U games instead of just adding the virtual console feature. It is already apparent that big name devs are not going to give Switch owners their fill, so it'll be up to Nintendo and their core devs to do that. And if Nintendo, knowing full well what its fans want, ignores its fans, there'll be a ton of unhappy customers before long. That Pokemon Direct a couple of days ago has only set this in motion.
Nintendo has tons of system sellers up their sleeves. Hopefully we'll see some of these surface at E3. They've strung Animal Crossing on way too long to not have a big announcement for it. If they don't, they've totally missed the boat. If all we see at E3 from Nintendo are pushes for the stuff we already know about (Arms, Splatoon 2, Monster Hunter, etc.), I'd say they'll have failed BIG time. My daughter was hoping for a great new Harvest Moon experience. Yet all we're getting is a throwback 2D title??? They can do better. The fact that they are NOT doing better is upsetting.
