That's nice and all but will there be any quality control? A lot of the stuff on there is just garbage to boost numbers.
No.

Nintendo looking to release 20-30 indies per week (some of them are already million sellers)
- Thread starter Deleted member 36622
- Start date
We're supposed to embrace mobile levels of trash games getting dumped on switch??? I browse the store weekly with what we're getting, but if you add in 20-30 bad looking games I'll probably stop.
Which platform let you carry your games over? Was this possible on the Xbox 360 or PS3? Will it be possible to carry over your games from PS4 to PS5 and Xbox One to Xbox "Two"? I didn't know that.
Yes, of course.
Yes, god help us if more people would appreciate quality over a huge quantity of knock offs of old hit games and questionable japanese titles depicting underage girls with huge boobs in sexual imagery.
I clearly meant about the mentality of not paying for indies.
Don't try to twist it into other things.
It feels to me like your comment is focused on the quantity gap - big third parties not publishing their biggest games on Switch.
But there's also a genre gap - big third parties don't develop the kinds of small(er)-scale games people enjoy playing on Nintendo platforms.
PC, and you can count on it for the next XBox. PS5 who knows - I did transfer all my games to PS4 Pro when I got it (I forget what the N3DS solution was for this). But at least PlayStation has an account you can use to claim your games as well as save save files. I've just heard way too many stories of people losing everything if their Nintendo console breaks, even though they bought the games online. Nintendo has earned zero trust where digital libraries are concerned.
I'm completing about 1 to 3 eshop games a week and I'm still falling behind on my back log. I don't know how anyone can keep up at this rate.
Ok sure, same to you then. I pay for good games, indies or not. So far, the only indies I've bought lately that hasnt dissapointed me completely is hollow knight, inside and limbo.
This is a lie, you can get back your games the same way it works with Ps4 and Xbox.
Most people just don't want to play 3 eshop game a week tbh
There have been 3 total this year that caught my interest
Of course PC, but consoles are totally different things in that regard.
I really doubt that you will be able to carry over third-party games from the Xbox One to the Xbox Whatever. First-party, perhaps, but we are talking about indie games here.
Of course Nintendo is a bit behind, but that was never my point.
I think is way easier to discover things on the eShop than on the PSN whose clunky design makes really obnoxious to search pretty much anything.
Nah, you still can't just login in a browser, remotely delink your account, and log in with your account on a new system, IIRC.
The Discover tab was a really nice improvement. More should come.
I would actually love it if less things came out, and Nintendo assured us that they were being a strict curator.
It's not Steam or Google Play yet, but it's already getting hard to find things, let alone be sure of quality.
But I guess Nintendo needs to have a busy looking release schedule in between 1st party blockbusters.

Just looking at the numbers here 20 games a week means 1000 games a year.
lets say 0.1% is masterpiece level
1% is very good
5% is enjoyable/good worth the money
the rest is mediocre/bad
That would mean
1 masterpiece
10 very good games
50 good games
a year.
Not bad if you ask me. The only problem here is discovering the good ones. I usually check out rankings/shop pages for that and follow the e-shop threads.
That's "how it works on PS4 and Xbox."

This is why I think the biggest challenge related to the eshop is discovery of new games. Unless someone only plays AAA games, there is very likely a wealth of content on eshop that they may be completely unaware of.
Victor Vran is coming out soon and Splasher and Slime-San have been on the Eshop for a while now.
Ok it doesnt work like Ps4 and Xbox, but the point is that you dont loose any games on the Switch, that is a lie.
I only hope that Nintendo improves search functions on the eShop soon.
Give us...
-Star Rankings/Approve-Not Approve Rankings/Buyer Comments
-Being able to see all Top Games (including free ones). Amazing Fortnite is nowhere to be seen because its free...
-A tab on the main page that shows categories of games. Rather than having to do a few clicks to find it.
etc..

It has long surprassed it already. Games like Inside, Hollow Knight, Enter the Gungeon, Overcooked, Rocket League, Owlboy, Celeste, Ikaruga, Sonic Mania, Night in the Woods and Lumines Remastered are not on the Vita.
It's just an increase of about 5-10 games per week above the current release pace.
That point has already been reached. There are a few games this year (for example Yoku's Island Express and Runner 3) that would have been much larger success stories if they were released a year ago, when there just a few new indies each week. In general, it now seems like ports of known older indie games have a greater chance of succeeding.
Oh for sure, trust I was already sold when they said they had Rocket League Year 1.
But absorbing the remaining Vita lineup is only a plus
So that's uhm, this is from back in February
We are now at day 419. According to Wikipedia there are 1200 games on the Switch. Average 25 games a week, means we would burst out of the ceiling of the chart right around the 500 days mark.
Damn. Such drought, much arid.
Also, in case anyone was wondering what Nintendo's internal teams are doing.. They are working round the clock in certification.

That is true. I'm hoping for Spelunky and its sequel and Guacamelee and its sequel. Undertale is also coming this year, hopefully soon enough. What other big indie titles are missing?
The port studio for 1 are leading on 2, so perhaps they don't have the time right now.

The Switch doesn't currently have 1200 games. That wikipedia page must list announced games or something...
EDIT: When I do a search on currently available Switch games at NoA, I now get 837:

Did Axiom Verge, FEZ, and Bastion make it over?
Transistor, I don't see why Pyre didn't make it
