Wii U have enough portability in an off-screen mode & GamePad is much more comfortable for me comparing to Switch. I'd buy Wii U again if i ever want to replay its titles again, they also much more cheaper now. As for Switch, I'm looking for new titles & if you'll ignore all these ports as well as indie games, there's not so much to play. N64 was a flop, GC sold not too good but Wii have it only as a BC, with just a bunch of VC ports from previous platforms, not an almost all library. Gimme Bayonetta 3, Metroid 4, Pikmin 4, nextgen Pokemon, Animal Crossing etc, that's why i bought Switch, not for dusty Wii U titles or ACA NEOGEO ROMs.
And yet people still talk about the legendary games of the N64 and GC. And yet people are still bitching because VC is not coming fast enough.
Especially today people are craving for oldies. Games no longer need to be these hyper scripted triple A games to have success.
But sure, if you remove all of that, if you remove indies, there won't be a lot of game for you. That's your choice to only want first party big games but let's be realistic, the whole list of games you've mentioned have been announced within a YEAR of the release of this console. It's already a lot for one company. You guys expectations are just unreasonable if you expect brand new first party games every month.
That's typical Nintendo though. Not really had any new titles since the snes days.
The typical misinformation that leads to pointless console wars.
- If you define "new games" by new IPs, then literally all consoles have that problem, with very few new ips coming out each generation. Is that a problem though? Up to debate. In the case of Nintendo, people are generally happy with sequels, their games are very arcade/party game oriented and it works well with sequels and that's why porting a game like Mario Kart will always sell well.
- If we purely talk new IP, everyone jumped at Nintendo for their Nintendo Labo (they're still gonna sell well), ARMS is a new IP, Splatoon is not so old itself, the Rabbids + Mario concept, although not Nintendo, is new as well. Is it a lot? Not really, although not less than other game companies. Do we need more? I don't know. I'd rather have a few killer concepts represented by a few well established IPs (Mario Kart, Smash, Mario Party) that are solid and well polished than continually trying to come up with 100% new stuff for the sake of being new.
