All of it is true, but so long as Pokemon exists, Nintendo wont die. Unless somehow Game Freak breaks away from nintendo's omnipotent grasp. (That would literally change the game industry to be honest. Game Freak without Nintendo's restrictions and Nintendo will finally die)
The Switch is a good idea on paper and can easily fit in today's market, which is great for nintendo, but if it lacks any real good games/support then it will go the same way as WiiU. And honestly all we know is the typical Nintendo games. Zelda, Mario, splatoon(2, Patch?) and some ports. Skyrim isn't confirmed and even then,I don't see the appeal of playing skyrim on a mobile device. It eats up WAYYY to much time to get anything done effectively, and with the battery limits it may be a waste.
Anyway long rant over, you are right and if the Switch bombs, nintendo is done for too
I'm getting a Switch so I can play Skyrim!
Said no one ever.
Porting old games to "next gen" consoles doesn't really help set a strong foothold.
Especially as it's a game that more then 5 years old and has better graphics on current gen consoles
(in the case of Skyrim, which has remastered ports to PS4 and Xbone, not to mention everyone who wanted to play it already played it)
Nintendo should switch back to focus on core gamers again, Family should come second.
Exciting titles like the N64 era and the GCN era (to a lesser extend), They had games which actually where up to spec back in the day.
Having the same old franchises for years isn't a bad idea (not talking about AC after 3 and COD), as long as the games leave an impact (OOT and Breath of the Wild for example)
If the franchises will be the same every iteration (much like pokemon) it'll end one day as there's no progress on that particular game.
It's the same thing all over again.
But yeh, The Wii had a handful of good titles (mostly 1st party ones), the Wii U has Splatoon, Breath of the Wild, Mario maker and Zombi U (Super smash and MK8... perhaps)
I secretly hope that the Switch will have the same amount of memorable titles as the N64 and GCN but I highly doubt it.
Nintendo already lost a substantial amount of gamers to the XBox and Playstation brand.
If the Switch flops, Nintendo will be left with a room of die hard Nintendo fans.
Pretty grim future indeed.
