There’s a reason devs don’t go out of their way to port games to Nintendo hardware. The people buying it love Mario Zelda and Pokémon not gaming.
what kind of performance do you expect from ports of old games. and who is buying a switch for 3rd party. this is not rocket science
Been a thing since like the GameCube era
That’s why I been making fun of grown ass nikkaz who buy that bullshyt. You got grown ass nikkaz who don’t have kids playing them kiddie ass games and if a third party game does go on it the performance is abysmal compared to a Console or PC. Like you are a straight cooked ass nikka if you grown and playing a game like cyber punk on there. I have no doubt in my mind you smell like a smash brothers tournament stank ass grown Nintendo nikka.

Nintendo is for those rainy days when you wanna sit inside and play Mario Kart, Zelda etc.
If I'm trying to play BG3 or AC Shadows or some shyt, I'm not using Nintendo to do it. I get why devs port shyt over to Switch (huge user base), but it's not worth it.

switch is seen as a companion console so I would think most ppl buying jt have another stronger, more capable console/pc.
And most kids I’ve seen only buy Nintendo games on Nintendo consoles with some exceptions, but when they get older want a stronger console/pc to play other stuff.

It’s over for Nintendo now.
Nintendo finally going 3rd party baby!
Mario coming to PS5/PS6, time to make it clap for the Sony camp!

They should stop making these games exclusive if they want them to sell 
Drop a console with only one game to play brehsThey should stop making these games exclusive if they want them to sell
There are totally third party games that sell well on Nintendo's platforms. Monster Hunter, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, all sold really well on Switch 1.
The problem is these launch games were:
1. All ports
2. Sold at $60+
3. They were on all game key cards except Cyberpunk, which was the best selling third party title.
That's a recipe for failure.
Duskbloods will do well.

3rd party games for the switch are for those committed to having just the Switch as their console.
No reason to buy a 3rd party non-exclusive for the Switch. Switch is for the exclusives. y
