Oddworld Creator Trashes Nintendo Switch

4.6
The Nintendo Switch’s lineup of third-party titles is still a bit thin, but it seems like most folks in the gaming industry personally like the system. I say most, because Oddworld co-creator Lorne Lanning definitely isn’t a fan Nintendo or its innovative new console.

Lanning’s company released Oddworld New ‘n’ Tasty!, a remake of the first game in the series, on Wii U in 2016, and it seems the experience left a bad taste in his mouth. On a recent episode of Kinda Funny’s GameOverGreggy Show, Lanning was not shy about unloading on Nintendo. Lanning had this to say about the potential for third-party success on the Switch…

“I don't have faith. I have no faith. It's due to experience. I see a similar level of success than they had with previous generations. Wii U, Wii. How successful was it for third parties? By the end of the life of the Wii, who else was making money aside from Nintendo? How many titles sold for the Wii that weren't Nintendo first-party? They started basically evaporating third party support. We get to Wii U - same, no third-party support.”

It's Nintendo's choice if they want full third party support or not

The switch sales are doing well, I don't know why he's trashing it so hard.

Basically he's tired of not making enough money because he makes games on a kids console. Lighten up and go make some xbox games brodie.

Echo I think the switch is good and is doing good. Is he complaining about the actual Switch or just the status of Third Party support ?

The status of third party support on the switch. He says that because the wii-u did the same thing, he expects the switch to have the same results and have an end result of only mostly first party games being created. This articles title is misleading.
