Sounds goodOk, I guess I'll just take my PS4 with me and play it wherever I want then.
Owning every platform and still think this is a very solid line up.If you only ever play on Nintendo platforms it's a solid line up for sure.
Personally I don't need to play Wolfenstein 2 at the bus stop so badly that I'll rebuy it months later at full price. I suppose I don't really know, but I would imagine that's not uncommon.Ok, I guess I'll just take my PS4 with me and play it wherever I want then.
This is actually another relevant point. As someone who didn't own a Wii U, I enjoyed the first half of the year more than most. I discovered Bayonetta and played what I think is the best Donkey Kong game ever made... I welcome as many Wii U ports as possible! Give me my damn TMS#FE port NIntendo!It made a lot of the games holding up the switch lineup so far.
Damn, dude is asking to get swiped.
I'm not even a huge wii u fan as someone that got it at launch, but this is flat out not true. 2014 and even 2015 are both still better than this year. This is comparable 2013 wii u.
I'm not arguing with that one bit. I'm saying that if that's true, then that's true of every console ever, especially since multi platform games started to be a thing.I get your point but you are talking about a small amount of overlap when you bring PC into the mix.
Thats why there is such a thing as CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE because a lot of the gaming public are having their first experience of a game on a console. Furthermore this is a gaming enthusiast forum. The average poster is going to have more than one system. That list is just full of redundancy.
Maybe, but I know I used the wii u a ton in both 2014 and 2015, but not at all for the switch this year.Not true. Yes, there aren't as many original first party games this year, but even then, Nintendo is still releasing Switch games at a consistent rate. Every month they're releasing 1-3 games for the system where as you'd have to wait 3-8 months to see maybe 2-3 games from them on Wii U. Plus, the Switch's third party support and indie lineup is far better and more reliable than the Wii U's and is only getting better, while the Wii U saw less and less support as the years went by.

The interesting thing to me is your final observation- this is an enthusiast forum, and the average person owns more than just one system. Absolutely. So why does a perceived dry spell for one system matter, when you have something else to pick up the slack? As an example, the second half of last year through to January this year I only used my Switch, and didn't use my PS4. From January to late May this year, I mostly used my PS4, with some Xbox sprinkled in, and didn't touch my Switch. In both cases, that the systems not being used didn't have much to offer to me didn't bother me, because the others did. If someone owns more than one system, why does it matter if one of them goes unused for a while as you focus on the other?
ftfythe Xbox One was a glorified doorstopper if you owned a PC for most of its lifetime
Yeah, this is really fucking weird about this board. There's this constant need to devalue other systems than your main one.
Yup. I literally don't get it. Like, you can't have it both ways lol. If you own multiple systems, then one of them not having much to offer you for a bit shouldn't matter.Yeah, this is really fucking weird about this board. There's this constant need to devalue other systems than your main one.

Because if you have multiple platforms there is really nothing for you most of those games already released on other platforms are cheaper and most of the time perform better in the other contenders. I myself only need octo path from that list so it's is pretty dry
You mentioned ports in your post. A good chunk of these games are ports. You're on a board of 'core' gamers where owning multiple consoles, especially ones as different as PS4/XBOX, PC, and Switch are, is commonplace, and you're surprised that people are downplaying your use of 'killing it'?Considering as well this thread was never about the other systems at all. Not once did I mention PS4 and XBOX. It's kinda hilarious in a way.
This is an gaming enthusiast forum, it's safe to assume that, on here at least. Most people have already played a lot of the games the first time they came out.
I feel this list will look better when everything goes cheaper. Hard to recommend many of these titles when you can get them significantly cheaper on other platforms.
Even new releases like Overcooked 2 are higher priced on Switch compared to other platforms.
The only indie on the list is Hollow Knight
I don't think anyone is saying anything like that. I'm also not sure what your point is- unless you deeply value the portable aspect, most of the old ports are cheaper, perform better, and come with trophy support on the systems they are already released on. Or in Wii U's case, it's at least cheaper (and you probably already own it, since good Wii U games were so few and far between).

Yes. Best game of 2017 (and no that wasn't a dig, it's just that it's that good).
I mean you basically just buy everything that comes out on the Switch, anybody can do that for any console and say the lineup is healthy.
How many platforms let you play these games on the go with ease though?

you shouldn't even waste your time replying...This is a disingenuous post and you know it.
There are tons of games that I skipped.
