Why the Nintendo Switch will Fail (and fail hard)

[CritialGaming]

Even with dragon Quest being on PS4 that is still third party support. Are you asking for excluives because what 3rd part exclusives doe PS4 have. SF5 is on PC

Technically yes. But the Switch needs game that I can't get a better version of on another platform. This goes for those DQheroes games as well. All things being equal, the PS4 will offer better graphics at a better frame rate.

The Switch can't rely on it's mobility to be the console success. People already have a 3DS. And you can't offer inferior versions of games on the Switch and think the mobile novelty of it is going to matter. It might work in Japan because they are more mobile centric. But in the States...we don't care about mobile nearly as much, and most people are going to pick up the better version if given that choice.

Question: why was this thread resurrected? Freaking necromancy!

OT: Too soon to declare a definitive result. At least wait until Holidays.

DQ7 on 3ds had some framerate drops towards the end of the game because of a there were more things on the screen. I don't want to explain it to much because of spoilers. Development for Nintendo handheld games should move to the Switch or Nintendo's next handheld, if Nintendo is still saying the Switch isn't replacing the 3ds which everyone knows it is. The 3DS is old, even pokemon Sun and Moon, a First party title had horrible frame drops during much of the game with the New 3ds. Granted Zelda botw had huge frame rate drops but those were a little bit more forgivable because its only in certain areas and wasn't as consistent as it was in Pokemon Sun and Moon.

PC games have better frame rates and run better then console games, Most people still buy Street fighter 5 on console though. As long as the frame rate is consistent that is the issue. It doesn't matter if PS4 has better graphics or highier frames, it does matter if it runs if it is more stable.

Actually they have a lot of support from Japanese 3rd party developers, Ultra Street fighter, Diesga 5 complete, Tetris V.S Puyo Puyo. The huge announcement is that Monster Hunter XX is coming to the Switch, also Dragon Quest 10 officially is coming to the Switch. Granted Dragon Quest Heroes 1&2 didn't make it to the states. Capcom is charging 40 fucking dollars for the physical and the fucking digital version of Ultra SF 2. Also capcom is gauging, the switch's viability with how well street fighter does.

On the western Front Skyrim is coming out and NBA 2K is coming out for the Switch, its pretty piss poor for western developers.

So...port, port, port of 25 year old game, port, port, monster hunter and Dragon Quest (which will be better on PS4).
Impressive I guess.

And I need to see some effort from Nintendo to make this system available to people, because right now neither of those things is happening.

it's almost as if Nintendo has plans to announce more games next week at E3 or something.

Crazy i know right?
