man I wish I had the amount of wealth required to blow that kinda money on something I don't rven know if I'll like
I really tried my best here to not make this thread confrontational but I guess it kind of just ends up that way for a thread about Nintendo. To Clarify: I own Mario Kart as part of a bundle and bought Cuphead and Goose Game already. I also am interested in Pokemon but haven't bought it yet, along with the aforementioned Mana Collection. I did forget about Octopath until this thread which I remember wanting as well before it came out. After that though, I'm not really sure? I probably will eventually get Odyssey because I had so much fun with it but it feels hard to justify paying full price since I already beat it.Are you trolling op? If not, where have you been hinding for the last 3 years? Also, out of over 1000 games you can find in the eshop, you can't find anything you like?
You could've titled your thread better. Like saying you just bought a Switch and need recommendations, and laid out your tastes. Saying the eshop is empty is just inviting conflict. It's not even close to being true and it makes it look like you're trying to start an argument.I really tried my best here to not make this thread confrontational but I guess it kind of just ends up that way for a thread about Nintendo.

It's interesting to see how many people didn't read the OP and are just reacting to the headline.
3 years in, absolutely unreasonable to assume anything if you just think what you heard on gaf would apply by now if you've like..you know.Like yeah, I could look up inf about there being no virtual console but is it really unreasonable to assume it'd be there given it's been a part of their platform strategy since the original Wii was launched 13 years ago? I wouldn't really care as I have only ever bought one game from the Virtual Console in all these years (Earthbound Zero/Mother), but yeah, it surprised me to not see that get ported over. I remember it not being at launch, but people on GAF kept insisting it would come but I guess it didn't.

For what it's worth, I am grateful to the one guy who actually took the time to make recommendations as I missed Octopath and that is definitely something that interests me, so thank you for that.
You tried to make a thread non-confrontational by titling it "this store with 2929 games is empty" and an OP that boils down to "I didn't do any research about the Switch before buying it"? You have very valid points about the lack of apps and the navigability of the console version of the eShop, but you're framing those points with "I couldn't be bothered to do a two second Google search and am shocked". But sure, blame Nintendo fans, I guess.I really tried my best here to not make this thread confrontational but I guess it kind of just ends up that way for a thread about Nintendo.

This....and what is research, Alex?You mean you don't like anything on the eShop. It's far from empty

Switch does have many excellent rpgs, both Japanese and western:
Xenoblade 2
Torna
Octopath Traveler
Valkyria Chronicles 4
Tales of Vesperia
Undertale
Ni no Kuni
FF games
DQ11S
The World Ends With You
Atelier Ryza
3 Disgaea games
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Saga Scarlet Grace
Pokemon Sword Shield
... just a few examples.
He's right in saying that there's very very little that's actually exclusive to Switch on there.
If you already owned a Wii U, it's slim pickings for original content.
If you didn't though? You're drowning in great games however!
To be fair you're picking the key month for big releases for any platform and using it as an example of a typical month...Well, I own a Wii U, a PC and i'm still drowning in games.
Not only the era of exclusive third party games basically ended, you're also wrong in your Wii U comment. The Wii U games ported to Switch amount to a small percentage of the games released by Nintendo. Hell, just one month ago they released the best Luigi's Mansion ever made, and two weeks later the first home console pokémon game. Also, a new, small new ip got shadow released as The Stretchers. And that's only for the last month.
