I bought my Switch solely for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Both games alone were worth it.
Fortnite, Minecraft, No mans sky and all the other third party stuff does not always run smoothly but still are nice games for recreation.
Comment on Nintendo Is Telling Game Publishers Switch 2 Will Be Delayed
callouscomic@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I was just looking at Switch games in the store this weekend. Even games that came out when Switch launched are still nearly $60. The console is slow and laggy. Nintendos online networks are laughable and cheesy. It’s such a barebones and cruddy system with overpriced games and it never drops in price or popularity. People make no sense to me.

First party Nintendo games maintain value forever. This is not exclusive to the switch.
None of the first party games are slow or laggy.
Online is nothing special. Splatoon 3 plays great, though.
First party games and indie games are the only great reasons to own a switch and if you stick to those guns, most everything you said doesn’t hold water.

Well, except Pokémon. But we don’t talk about Pokémon.

Game freak doesn’t count lol. They are terribly made games lol.

Pokemon is second-party, the publisher (Nintendo) owns part of the IP but they don’t own the developer (Gamefreak).

Yeah, you’re technically right, but everyone just fully associates Pokémon with Nintendo.

Links Awakening runs like ass most of the time. I’d consider it’s performance pretty poor for a first party title. Generally though you’re right.

Ok, I concede to LA. One out of how many games, then?

Most of the time? Doesn’t it mainly lag when moving to a different region? It also looks really good.
