the switch is just a 0.9b of the Wii U, with proper marketing and all that.
for now I think they're just covering up for the losses they had with the wii u, the console is built very cheaply ( it's literally just a decent tablet and 2 very basic bluetooth controllers ) and had shady sales tactics such as the artificial shortages
they're also figuring out what to do now that iwata is gone, the people in charge were appointed by the investors and don't seem to know very well where to take things ( other than expand outside video games ).
playing it safe, planning the ports carefully and filling the gaps with indie/third party games
now that the switch became a best seller they're probably saving the best things for the switch pro which will most likely be at least announced by the time for E3. the default model of the switch can't even play stuff like link's awakening without the occasional drastic fps drop, a lot of high profile games are on it already the performance boost alone would sell a lot of people on the idea I think.
the wii u had much higher specs early in development, so hopefully we'll finally see what the console was intended to be like.
about the games, a new super mario bros game from tose is a given, we'll get it eventually. it's cheap to make and sells effortlessly.
1,2, switch is the wii sports of the switch ( which by the way, retained the wii in the name s(wi)tch. it's very subtle, i love it )
nintendo has no idea what to do with mario party, they still didn't understand that when people asked for another mario party advance they wanted a mario party with a story and not an even more casual game with the shoe car and they're desperate to make it appealing for modern kids ( which supposedly have a shorter attention span and get frustrated more easily? ).
I think some stuff like the themes and the virtual console might be gone forever without iwata ( unless they're saving it for the next iteration too ), retro games are being released as a compilation ( seiken densetsu, mega drive "classics" ) in a full price game format so I think that says all there is to be said about it. dataminers found data for emulators other than nes and snes inside the switch but no one knows what they are yet.
iwata was the one force keeping the company together imo, he understood what customers enjoyed, and how to improve the work environment and stood against investors dumb demands like making nintendo games for phones because the son of one of the investors wanted to play mario on his iphone or something.
personally I'm just sad that the 3ds got killed off so fast because internet geniuses thought if nintendo cut all support for it it would mean more games for switch
despite being portable too, the games on switch are designed as tabletop console games and not even link's awakening feels like it follows the design philosophy that ds, 3ds & etc games had ( that hud looks like it's from a smartphone game though ). it's not as fun

No not disappointed, but I don't use it as my main console.
It's normal there are not that many nintendo games. Because they don't like to outsource those. So yeah that means fewer games.
Also it has much more third party games than the wiiu or wii. I think it's more on par again with the gamecube that I loved to death.
So yeah overall it's good. The thing is I just don't like plying nintendo games as much as I did as a kid with friends. So the once in a while fix is enough.
But I do agree where the hell are my zelda ports? I didn't really like BOTW. It was ok-ish for me.

Yeah I think BOTW is as good as any other, but for me atleast I miss the dungeon based Zelda games. That's why I'd love to see some of the other ones ported over.
I also miss the musical aspect in Botw

Couldn't agree more. There where no dungeons in BOTW unless you count those ugly copy paste beast things. And yeah OST? Completely lacking.
Give me a traditional (even flawed) classic zelda over BOTW any day. If I want a sandbox physics game I will play something else.
This comming from someone that actually gave BOTW a change. Did every sidequests and shrines. Still didn't really like it. Felt more like work than fun.
Nintendo should make a full zelda game based on action as thts wher the true fun is - combat in zelda can be so good beggars belief why they don't focus on tht
No it's about the combination with dungeons and puzzles. Not just combat... Don't turn this into an hack and slash game.
Who said its about combination why hav the same game everytime how bloody boring is tht-action setpieces is wher the fun is and doesn't hav to be hack and slash only can be stealth also added - any form of combat is mor exciting than a frustrating puzzle - nothing wrong with puzzle games I play them myself but no harm making a pure action zelda game
You got that it's called hyrule wariors or smash bros. No just no rip the puzzles out of zelda and you got a bland action game like there exists millions of...
It's not because you find it boring other people find it boring. Zelda was perfectly fine even before breath of the wild...

Bland action game lol zeldas combat is up ther with the best so makes sense to do one but within the openworld of BOTW with mor Castles temples mountains and forest setpieces as said can be stealth also-not facing hordes of enemy's like hyrule warriors
I've been pretty satisfied, but the fact that my first switch died of nand corruption made me lose a little faith in nintendo. I've never had one of their systems fail on me, and this thing failed in six months, so it was very disappointing.
I hadn't really played games in years aside from a few on the wii u, so the switch got me interested in playing video games again. for now, my system is unhacked, because I don't think I'll play games if they're free. there's really no obligation then.

I bet thers millions of gamers out ther who quit nearly all the zelda games they pld because of some of the frustrating puzzles to solve - Zelda should go mor action /stealth based to make it mor fun

Can't really play anywhere like you can with the Switch.
A port of WWHD and TPHD would be appreciated for its customers, but chances are they'd charge $59.99 (in Europe-EU would also be €59.99, and in U.K. about £39.99).
Yeah that's like your opinion. Zelda is doing just fine if you look at the sales. You jsut want to turn it into another assassins creed....
yep one of the best series ever especially the latest games-sales hav nothing to do with it i bet still mor players hav never finished a zelda than those tht hav-people wil stil buy and try because the zelda series has a lot of charm to it
