It's kinda fascinating seeing how differently people talk about Nintendo on the internet now.

Them not having the big third party games was seen as a major issue for them for the GameCube, Wii and Wii U. Now barely anyone talks about that and the third party games barely seem to matter.

A lot of younger gamers today grew up in a time in which the typical 3rd party game that is released on every single console and also the PC were really mediocre or outright bad experiences on the wii, wii u, and the switch. For this age group, they are playing on nintendo consoles for mario, mario kart, zelda, splatoon, and animal crossing. It actually makes sense for this group not giving a damn if like red dead redemption 2, fifa or madden games, or whatever is the current bigger budget upcoming game releases passes over the switch.

For us older people who been around when nintendo actually did have a ton of 3rd party support on the NES, SNES, and did a bit better on the gamecube, well, we just got used to not even thinking about/expecting a nintendo platform to get...*checks upcoming AAA release that is shared on the consoles with more capable hardware and the PC* WWE 2K24 since we had coming up to 2 decades of knowing that nintendo does not compete with power for their consoles anymore and is only really concerned about whatever they are trying to do.

Like for GTA6, our minds just automatically default to the playstation and xbox, or playing it on the PC at a later date. Imo this isn't nothing new.......majority of gamers out there has been had this "you get a nintendo console and the switch to play nintendo games. If a good 3rd party game port shows up for portable play on the switch, neat. If not, that is what the playstation, xbox, or PC is for" mentality.

(Including me. I got a switch, but its only used for nintendo games that can't be gotten nowhere else. Also some indies that I want to play while laying in bed. Thats.....pretty much it and what I expected).
