Third party games are what the switch needs. Which I don't see them getting much of because of how time consuming / expensive to be to program your game for a completely different Controller / 2 screens and shit. (Look at the wiiu)

Meh. They're trying.

Trying hard to drive their company right into the ground you mean. It's scary how close they are following in the footsteps of sega.

Yeah. Really hurts to watch. But they are trying to "innovate". They're just bad at it.

I feel like their mobile games like fire emblem and Mario run helped them tho

"Nintendo Switch Will Not Have Virtual Console At Launch"

Wait, the one console they make that WOULD BENEFIT from virtual console they decide to leave it out. Its a portable for with a tegra processor for christ sake! The potential to relive classics on the go is really high, and could have been a selling point. Look at how popular emulation handhelds are. Nintendo has gone full retard.

Expected. RIP Nintendo.

They should just release a bunch of apps, but good ones. I know so many people who would play Super Mario Whatever on mobile if it was an app. They should give up on consoles and make software, imagine super smash bros on a better console.

I'd use Chromecast for that, to be honest. Does the console have a browser? Perhaps it'd be possible via browser.

Although I dont really watch Netflix, does the Switch have YouTube?!?! If so, I would possibly buy it... for the games as well... lol

Emulation handhelds exist? Heart

Dumb move yet again for Nintendo. how bad is the Switch flopping? Wondering who here owns one and if its worth it at all.

Switch technically has a browser, which was cracked pretty rapidly and used to run programs it wasn't meant to be able to do.(ie netflix)
Nintendo is very reluctant to join the mobile market, It still says it will not release any mobile games but....they are, in fact they are doing alot of things they are openly denying, because they can't keep turning down that sweet sweet cash money.
