If everything they do is multiplatform, that won't help the Switch, especially if there are going to be Steam versions of the same thing.

I think I'm actually of the opposite opinion on this. One of the biggest problems with Nintendo consoles is that whenever a company releases a multi-platform title, ninety-percent of the time the Nintendo console is the one console that doesn't get it. This creates a huge problem for people like me that can't afford to purchase multiple machines every generation, because now we have to gamble if it's worth it more to buy a console solely for the Nintendo exclusives, or if it's better to get a console that's going to get everything else.

If Nintendo can create a console that guarantees that it will receive most multi-platform games, suddenly the need to make a choice is eliminated, as there is only one smart choice to be made. Granted, I still hope that Nintendo will see some 3rd party titles exclusive to their system, but as far as marketing goes, even if all they can get is multi-platform titles out of them, it will still be a huge boon for their sales figures. It would definitely get me to buy one sooner than later.

well do i have good news for you. B)

Nintendo's entrance into the Khronos group (which supports an open standard for desktop and mobile technologies) and being able to support UE4 (in addition to having Autodesk and Unity [Unreal's rival] show up on their "third party support" infographic) means that you'll actually see games being released on the switch alongside the other 3 consoles currently out on the market - for now, at least - they won't have the beefiness of the PS4 Pro or whatever but rest assured it's pretty likely you'll see a bunch of flagship Ubisoft games finally pop up on the device - I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Watch Dogs 2 were to pop up on this thing. Then again, the specs on this thing might actually be just behind a launch PS4, soooo they might look more like low-settings PC games, but

honestly Nintendo's made it way too exciting to see what's actually gonna pop up on this new console. the only thing that's gonna actually doom the switch is if the Unreal Engine devs announce UE5 or something.






long story short:
it's actually a very real possibility and not a pipe dream to assume that Kingdom Hearts 3 could release on the Switch if this thing pushes a ton of units
