The Switch only has 4GB of RAM. For comparison, PS4 and Xbox One has 8GB of RAM. Even phones these days come with even more memory than the Switch. It's severely limiting the potential of the developers, which leads to games getting DOWNGRADED or not working at all.
Also, the system only comes with 32GB of internal memory. All the latest consoles and PCs come with 1TB by default. You can upgrade the Switch storage with a micro SD card, but with video game sizes getting bigger each year, there's no telling how much SD cards you must carry around just to have a collection of digital only Eshop games.
So what happened to all the third party Nintendo promised at the Switch reveal event? Did they abandon it like Wii U?
Carter Rodriguez
So, shit games not coming to Switch. what's the problem exactly?
Benjamin Roberts
>4GB of RAM How did Nintendo think that was acceptable in 2017? You just know for certain that next year Nintendo will announce a new Switch model with 8GB.
Thomas Johnson
>caw a dooty and ass creed not coming to a nintendo console because graphix What else is new
Aiden Stewart
>Getting a nintendo console to play third party games wew lad
Zachary Sanders
Okay
Splatoon is still goty
Don't even need another AAA machine at this point
Elijah Kelly
I don't know people can defend paid online on a console that can't even do voice chat without a smartphone
Grayson Howard
Switch games will never look as amazing as Uncharted 4
Parker Rodriguez
Nope I only use my Nintendo console to play one up wahoo for mature gamers such as myself
Brayden Jackson
>You just know for certain that next year Nintendo will announce a new Switch model with 8GB. Yeah okay bud
Isaac Rivera
>because looks make a game great nah I'm just gonna play Tomb Raider on PC and Mario Odyssey on Switch how bout that
Josiah Parker
They only put in 4GB after Capcom convinced them to, it could have been even less.
Alexander Allen

Ian Jones
Its not about mature games kid, its about playing actual FUN GAMES, who gives a flying fuck if you cant play the latest Military Shooter No.3878733883 or the amazing Open World Boring game No. 73728
Sebastian Robinson
Who needs third-party games when you have those two Nintendo games to play every year?
Kayden Russell
post games that Nintenbros will never get to play
Elijah Cooper
And PS4 will never have a game as amazing as Splatoon2 lol
Nicholas Reyes
what's got the sony ponys all riled up?
Nolan Russell
>third parties HATE it! >find out how to achieve gaming BLISS with this one simple switch!
Daniel Reed
Nintendo would rather sell cheap hardware for massive profits than offer its fans hardware befitting third-parties
>Nintendo Switch's ARM CPU isn't powerful enough to handle our games vision. We would have to downgrade how many enemies visible on screen, reduce draw distance for usable objects, and tone down how much spell effects that are displayed at once.
>Nintendo's Eshop policy for the Switch is more restrictive than Steam or PSN on PS4. The licensing fees are higher if you want to make a digital release, there are certain Nintendo meddling that delays our game releases longer than the competition, and they don't give us as much marketing support as other competitors when it comes to sales or promotion on the Eshop store.
>We would love to make games for the Switch, however, we fear that they will not sell as well like on other platforms. Nintendo consumers tend to prefer first party games over third party games, this is especially true if any third party game launches near the same date as a Nintendo title. So we must delay our games to avoid that competition or hope that Nintendo has enough consumers that are interested in third party on their console than PS4 or Xbox One.
Mason Parker
They went to PS4
Logan Long

>implying you're not mad as fuck you're missing out on MHW and Red Dead 2 Either that or you simply hate videogames. Can't wait to kill big ass dinosaurs in Monster Hunter and ride around as a outlaw cowboy in Red Dead 2.

You first :)

Jaxon Hernandez
What quotes are these devs from?
Jose King
>Companies that have financial ties to other companies >"Why aren't they supporting Nintendo?"
They have enough power and finance to get ports, the reason the companies are doing it is 1. They're Japanese 2. They have money riding on them to fail

Also it's been proven over the years that Western third party sell the worst on Nintendo. Nintendo fans just want more Mario and Pokemon.
Mason Barnes
For Nintendo it's a good thing.
For people who own Nintendo console, it's not. You're paying the price for Nintendo's profits.
Daniel Rodriguez
This is the power of the Ps4 Pro? Damn....
Grayson White
Post games Sonykeks will never ever play
Lincoln Sanders

The same reason why they went with the Tegra X1 in 2017

>Even phones these days come with even more memory than the Switch I have to call bullshit on this. The iphone 7+ only has 3 gigs of ram and even the newest samsung galaxy only has 4 gigs. For some reason phones (and tablets for that matter) releases with very little ram some having as little as 1.5 gigs and only the ones marketed as premium have 4+.
Ethan Harris
Exactly! Instead I can play Bing Bing Wahoo game #7823.
Parker Kelly
>Hurr, the Switch only needs first party support, who needs thrid party.
So, I'm going to use a little analogy here
When you are born, for the first 1 1/2-2 years you survive on breast milk as mammals. Once you've started teething and can eat solid food however, the body can no longer derive the nutrients it needs to survive from breast milk alone.
Sure, you can still technically drink milk throughout your life (some of us anyways), but you NEED nutrients from other sources to survive.
Switch = Baby Nintendo = Mother First party support = Breastmilk Real food = Third party support
>inb4 food analogy
Grayson Ramirez
But Nintendo first party is better than most any third party
Connor Reyes
Imagine being so desperate for a fighting game you end up picking up Arms.
Imagine being so desperate for a shooter you end up picking up Splatoon.
For most normal people, this is insanity. For Nintendo owners, it's Tuesday.
Noah Brown
Or maybe I can just play half of those games on PC instead of getting another console? why are you so mad that I don't care if they're not on the Switch? It doesn't hurt me in any way. Face it, if Nintendo went on PC right now, imagine how fast their titles would sell if they said "Pokemon MMO" or some shit?
Jacob Barnes
>SEETHING
Elijah Torres
Imagine wasting your time shitposting online rather than playing games
Josiah Anderson
Subjective.
And how does that justify the absense of third-parties? It's good for Nintendo means less competition against their own first-parties. It's bad for anyone who enjoys games. Either you play Nintendo's 60th sequel or play nothing at all.
Nothing at all.
Robert Harris
Why is everyone surprised about this? Nintendo has treated third parties like animals since the 80s why would they release games on a syste that is selling worst than the vita? Only hardcore nintendo fanboys buy their console nowadays, and third parties know they will not buy non nintendo games
Evan Lee
>77~
Joshua Johnson
Name a better shooter than splatoon. Certainly none on the piss4 that's for sure
Aaron Barnes
Wow so pretty you sure showed me
Levi Butler
Brah, I own a Switch, bought it specifically for BotW and Xenoblade 2. I WANT the Switch to survive, but even I'm not delusional.
Carter Baker
Yeah you can disagree with that if you have bad taste and there's plenty of third party, just not AAA
Adrian Bailey
>tfw you have a PS4, a Switch, and a gaming PC.
The only games I miss out on are shitty Xbox exclusives. It feels good having the option of playing everything.
Andrew Ross
And what exactly is wrong with splatoon? Remember to explain without insulting Nintendo fans!
Xavier Evans
Sure thing bud
Elijah Perez
What was the last 3rd party multiplatform game worth owning on a Nintendo platform since the turn of the millennium?
Don't worry I'll wait.
Samuel Russell
They also hated the wii.
Doesn't mean they were right to keep their shitty unoptimized vanity projects off of the console that literally printed money.
Joshua Adams
They doubled down on retardation? Nvidia can't design a cpu to save their life.
Grayson Nelson
I really find funny that most of bitching about switch is coming from western devs or AAA.
Carter Gutierrez
Well, "Brah" if you're not retarded then you would deny third party titles "Brah" because they wouldn't sell on Switch "Brah". what these companies can do is create something original with Nintendo instead of slapping their preexisting games on it "Brah".
How many times did Nintendo "die" again?
Cooper Jackson

Daniel Cruz
Hey, at least switch owners will be spared form Randy cancer games, can you say the same about xbox, ps4 or PC? Checkmate gamergators
Liam Baker
There are a million other shooters to play that are better than your paintball kiddy shooter.
Titanfall 2 Overwatch Battlefield 1 Arma 3 PUBG Rainbow Six Siege CS: GO Team Fortress 2 Doom Rising Storm
All those shooters are available to you on other platforms. On Nintendo, you ONLY have Splatoon. So of course there are sad deluded people like you who defend the lack of options as a good thing. This is what commies must've sounded like living under the Soviet Union.
Adrian Wright
All games are for children yet here we are.
John Thomas
Yeah no. None of them have the same complicated movement mechanics and rely on auto aim because no gyro, next!
Asher Evans
Comes back to
>This is what commies must've sounded like living under the Soviet Union.
Luke Allen
Oh yeah, I bet all those 5 switch owners are delighted with all those indie games they can but for +$15 the price they can get them in any other system
Chase Cox
I'm not really interested in the switch after my experience being an early wii u adopter in 2013. The switch will still get games just not demanding ones. Better be praying that thq Nordic downgrades darksiders 3 for that system.
Hunter Campbell
Even without a source I believe it. Nintendo has always been anti third party with their hardware and policies. I mean get a load of how backwards their voice chat system is. It already cripples games like Xenoverse 2 which is 100x more fun with voice chat.
Aiden Ortiz
>Hearthstone I see no reason why the switch cant run hearthstone if it can on on shitty ass phones and tablets. If anything, Blizzard doesn't want to give a cut of what every pie they get from the switch, after the extra work of porting it over.
William Price
I have options :)
Aaron Rodriguez
>arms >not fun
Andrew Rodriguez
Why the fuck someone would play shooters on consoles in first place?
If I want play shooters I play them on PC not on a damn console.
Blake White
>Games designed for traditional consoles >Not coming to a hybrid console with different target audience in mind Are you going to complain about why toilets don't have microwaves too
Tyler Brown
Portability
Luke Russell
And all your other platforms are fucking useless when PC exists to begin with. There's really no point in buying a PS4 and Xbox. at least Nintendo is somewhat unique in their style, everything else is just there to stroke the e-sport audience.
Colton Green
I play them on both
Also H5 is the best arena shooter rn
Jordan Taylor
It's funny how they made such a big deal out of that third-party collage but now it's all confirmed lies they're back to
>T-Those games don't matter I only play Splatoon for refined manchildren as myself Borderline illness.
Evan Johnson
Did you really expect half of those games to even come out on it?
Wyatt Jenkins
The same thing that happened to all the third party Nintendo promised at the WiiU reveal event
Daniel Brown
Whom are you quoting?
Blake Russell
Nintendo fans are beaten house wives. Is there really a point in arguing with them.
Joseph Ramirez
>Scandinavian devs >even knowing what a Nintendo is Good luck with that one pal.
Samuel Anderson
im not that retarded, nintendo fans are
Nicholas Watson
Ultimately third parties are desperately throwing all of their weight behind Playstation and Xbox, praying that it will be enough to keep those consoles relevant.
It isn't.
Nathaniel Lopez
>getting triggered by someone saying brah
Daniel Murphy
There's no reason why Toilets don't have microwaves tho.
wew fucking lad this thing is going to become another Wii U first party machine.
Dominic Jones
>Less games coming, >lol we have Nintendo games already we don't need them. >Splatoon is the best shooter ever, >Mario kart is the only racing game I need
I know people get nintendo consoles for the exclusive first party games but this is ridiculous. Doesn't it bother you that you won't see things from third party devs like rune factory or Ace attourney anymore? There were tons of decent gems from third parties there.
Luis Fisher
t. poor

Tyler Adams
>praying that it will be enough to keep those consoles relevant. >It isn't. Yeah bro I'm sure those 70 million PS4 solds are irrelevant compared to the 5 million Switches.
Third-parties are supporting platforms that support them. It's that simple. The BA DING WAHOO audience doesn't fit them at all.
