J-Maestro 11,808 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I do but it’s definitely needing an upgrade now, console is really struggling with anything they’ve brought out lately. BlueVanguard 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to team up with more companies and get developing more games. The Super Mario and Pokémon and Zelda seem to be carrying the Switch a lot these days but you are right they do need a lot more games for it to even compete at a decent enough stage and get people to buy it. Plus in my opinion it's a pricey console and over priced. Think we where around £300 for it with a game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory I think it's free from the store if you have an online sub, can play some of the older Mario games BlueVanguard 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the upgrade in graphics makes me much prefer playing the newer versions of the games. One think about the switch though that pisses me off they are bringing out a lot of remakes which I hate to see. For a company that's worth billions and making profit every year they need to develop more games. RangersMedia 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue sometimes for these companies is if they bring out a half-decent game but the cult fans don't like it, then it's badged as shite and they get less sales for something they've spent a lot to develop. Remakes are quick + easy for them in terms of development costs and they know they're going to sell loads so it's more profitable Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time they discontinue it - the switch will likely be the 3rd best selling console of all time. (Only surpassed by the DS and the PS2. Its already competing at a decent enough stage. People aren’t just buying it… it’s sold extremely well and that’s despite Nintendo not being overly consumer friendly. BlueVanguard 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, 90% of people buy a Switch for the Nintendo owned games, so others don't actually sell that well and it's not powerful enough for games that would be out on the Xbox and PS5 so it's actually quite difficult for developers to create cross platform games to include the switch. I don't know the number, but despite the fact the console sold well I'd imagine the average number of games people own are far, far lower than Xbox and PS5 and any adults that have one have it as a 2nd console. rabc10000 and BlueVanguard 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
