Famed video game industry analyst Michael Pachter has heard from his sources that the upcoming Nintendo Switch platform is the easiest system to develop for out of the three consoles currently available. This bodes well for third-party support on the platform which has in recent times posed a big problem for the Kyoto based company.
“I’ve actually heard from developers that Nintendo is the easiest of the big three to develop for.”

||But first the creature Pachter’s head infront of my cybernetic leg…||
That’s awesome news! That strengthens my hope of developing for it one day.
Damn it pachter dont jinx it!
Wow! That’s a rare Patcher right there.
Pachter*
I think I prefer Patcher
Makes sense. The second anyone got a dev console, they jumped ship on any Wii U games they were making to make them for the switch instead.
Well this is why Nintendo move the cancel Wii U games to the Switch instead.
why develop for a dead console? I bought a ps4 slim for 225 euro’s this past weekend while a Wii u cost 300 euro lol. Most triple A games can be bought for 10-30 euro’s besides FIFA and shooters if you wan’t to keep up with your online gameplay. Nintendo games usually never go below 40-50 euro’s ever.
On top of that every solid WII U game will get released again on the switch so yeah.
No idea in which European country you live, but over here you can find Wii U games for 15 to 25 euro’s in stores quite easy. Not the newest games, but still good games, so yeah.
You can go to gamestop (in US) and get Wii U games pretty cheap. Anywhere between 10 – 25 dollars. I’m sure there’s somewhere over there that sales them cheap too. Don’t buy them new from retail buy them used.
I thought they stop supporting patcher. Did they? Some of his resources are not true.
we may not like him but he has access to many people.
How can he?
He works in the market. He can have connections.
Mmm very interesting.
Famed…. It’s more like infamous Patcher 🤓
This is great for developers. We’ll see if people flock over to a Nintendo console for 3rd party games and if Nintendo loyalists actually support 3rd party games
Who is this imposter and what has he done with the real Pachter (not that I’m complaining)!
“Never Believe Patcher”
Why do we still listen to this overhyped moron. Patcher has a terrible track record of “predictions” and has proven he knows nothing of gaming industry trends time and time again. Stop giving this fool voice. His ridiculous predictions have done more harm than good to investors, gamers, and the industry as a whole.
This not a surprise since Nvidia has done a lot of the ground work for the Switch. Porting and developing for the system will be a breeze since it supports Vulcan 1.0 and the latest version of Open GL and of course because of Nvidia’s unmatched tool sets and optimization features. As I’ve said before Nintendo is going for ease of development rather than super raw power and it’s a very smart move. I’m pretty sure Nintendo and Nvidia has plans to increase the capabilities of the Switch when the time is right
Yeah but does this mean it can handle these games?
The answer is obvious… yes it can!
yeah he surely is the person you should trust about software development.
Shovelware?
Fist positiv Switch news for me. Indie and Nintendo Handheld is interesting if it is very cheap. But it comes from Michael Pachter :(

I dont yoy people. Your always saying patcher is wrong in everything he says. But when it is something you like you are okay with it
Its is he us always wrong, or always wrong when he goes against nintendo.
I think a quote like this is in the middle… some of the problems with his statements is that they have been purely opinion based with nothing to base that off of.
This is a rumor in some sense… things he is hearing as opposed to his opinion on the business outlook of Nintendo, which any of us could come up with who have followed the market trends and such over the past 5-10 years or more.
Regardless… grains of salt till things get real on Jan 12th
Line up with what the ceo of image&form games said to smd64
Singular people should stop saying we. We doesn’t represent this whole. BOOM!
It about time Pachter said something positive about Nintendo. I am fed up of him being flat out negative about them.
Is it the end of the world?
||Yes, the Xbot world…||
I’m 100000% sure the real Michael Pachter was abducted.
Does that mean Yooka-Laylee, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, Street Fighter V+, J-Stars Victory VS, Unravel, Undertale, Cuphead, Sonic 2017, Sonic Mania, and past modern Sonic that SEGA kept from Nintendo confirmed?
Don’t jinx it Pachter.
You guys are still reporting Pachter shit after what he said about Iwata?
