Only the AAA titles have the budget to advertise on enough platforms for people to notice it.

@Veho I get that. A quick Nintendo Direct mention for these smaller games would be nice. Hell, a game like this wouldn't even make the Wholesome Games Direct. That show tends to focus on indie games. Makes you wonder how "indie" those games are.

Seen this same lack of ads happen for My Little Pony, Smurfs and Paw Patrol. I don't want gaming to be so damn hardcore that less violent titles get the fucking shaft.

Weird, you'd think the Paw Patrol game would get more marketing, because you know kids would just gobble it up.

I mean I'm not surprised some games fall through the cracks because there are 11500 titles for the Switch, so that's five games a day, who can keep track.

Exactly. The first game got a blurb in a Nintendo Direct. The 2nd and 3rd games, I found out by running into them at Walmart. Kid friendly games still matter. Can't shove a bunch of M rated games at the little ones and not give a fuck.

I don't know, I think the borked-as-hell JoyCons are the actual biggest issue, followed by the severe lack of themes after the 3DS was drowning in them.
