Does the Pokemon announcement end the myth that the Switch will have this unified library?

[the_FUTURE]

Zelda and Mario Kart are ports, Splatoon is basically a port with DLC sold at $60.

All I see on this goddamn system is game's I already played or rehashes of games, not a single new IP from this company. And dont say ARMS is a new IP, it's a minigame collection sold at $60 with no single player mode. Even Street Fighter 5 had more content than that and that game sucked ass.

Where are the 3rd party partners that were on this list that everyone was throwing at people faces?

All I see is a list of lies an empty promises and even if they're bringing games over, they're gonna be nothing but ports from last gen like Skyrim.

This is suppose to be a NEW system, it should be getting NEW games, not ports and rehashes. Not even the PS4 and XB1 had this many ports in it's first year.

If Splatoon is a port, then Smash Brawl is a port as well. Splatoon 2 has a new single player mode that carries the story of the first one, and none of the specials from the first one are in the new one with new sub weapons and an endurance co op mode. It's Splatoon 2. If it wasn't, it would be called deluxe like Pokken and MK8

Dude ever since the NX was announce as a home console and a handheld people have been saying this

Been on the sub reddit for Switch and don't know about this unified library, may have missed those threads I guess. Like I said, unless you mean the VC.

You missed the "/s" at the end (It's for sarcasm)

The 3DS has the largest install base and is more popular than the PS4. They need to extend its life cycle indefinitely in case the Switch fails. 3DS is their fallback -- their plan B in case things get awry.

OP didn't really lose. The point he was making is valid. Every Nintendo apologist would say that development between their home console and portable console team would merge and we would get a bunch of handheld games on switch. That hasn't been the case. Even the console Pokemon game seems to be developed simultaneously with a handheld Pokemon game which is probably why we didn't get even a title teaser like Metroid let alone a full teaser. The development time is just going to be a lot slower making games for both consoles. 3DS is still a major key for Nintendo, and Switch isn't changing that unfortunately.

what does that mean though?

this is an rpg style console iteration

just because they're making one for the switch doesn't mean it infringes on the style that they do them with on handhelds.

Game Freak doesn't make these spin off games, they make the real Pokemon RPGs

Ever since the announcement of the Switch people have been saying that Nintendo will combat the droughts that plagued its past systems by having handheld and console developers make games for 1 system instead of two.

Nintendo has never said this would be the case but it has been long held as fact by much of the pro nintendo gaming community

So Yesterday we get a announcement of new Pokemon games that are NOT coming to the switch

The question is in the title.

One company alone can't produce enough quality software to avoid droughts over 5 or so years. Regardless of a unified library.

This. I'm a little skeptical they will do something totally fresh.

I know and most reasonable video game fans know this but the Nintendo Stans were denying this as truth by creating a scenario where All Nintendo studios would be solely focused on the Switch
