Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima defends 'weak' lineup for Nintendo Switch

Even with the "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" on the line-up for Nintendo Switch, a lot of experts still think that the console does not have enough good games to make it worth buying. It can be attributed to its hardware limitations, which prevents Triple-A games from porting into the console.

In a recent earnings briefing recorded in the official Nintendo website, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima spoke out against the comments, saying that the company is planning to release new titles without long gaps. It means that the company plans to spread out its strong titles throughout 2017 rather than releasing them all at once.

Kimishima hopes that the strategy will allow the console to remain relevant in a variety of ways. The planned results include sustained consumer interest, consumer sales and continued buzz for the system.

According to Game Rant, the Nintendo consoles have fallen victim to software droughts in the past, especially for the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS. These consoles went on in extended periods of time without any compelling titles in their early years, thus making them less popular compared to other consoles.

The long term plans for Switch is a better decision for the management, rather than focusing solely on the success of its launch. For the strategy to bear fruit, however, high-profile titles such as "Super Mario Odyssey" should meet its expected release date and subsequently launch within the console's first year.

Right now, there are only two Nintendo-made games for the Nintendo Switch: "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and the mini-game compilation pack "1-2-Switch." Some of the third party-made games for the game's launch line-up include "Just Dance 2017," "I Am Setsuna," "World of Goo," "Super Bomberman R," "Skylanders: Imaginators," and more.

The Nintendo Switch console will launch on March 3, 2017. Here is the latest teaser video for the console:
