Should we have a list of games that were ported to every other modern port other than
Nintendo Switch because of its limitations or other reasons? Not all companies release a press statement for something like this since its pointless. Web only news sources have to fill content so sometimes a few sentence announcement and make it into a very short article, doesn't really count as significant coverage.
625:
I don't really see where the game development angle comes in though, because most of them have barely any insight into any special reason for cancellation besides "it was too hard" or "it wasn't profitable". 100% cancelled games often have interesting insight into "what could have been" but these are
374:
This is a misrepresentation of what this article is. It's not "every single game that was released on one system but not ported to all systems". It's got established and specific inclusion criteria. It only lists games that have a reliable source that verifies a game was announced for the Switch, but
505:
I just can't imagine anyone wanting to read this article. It seems pointless. If you want to add a sentence or two to the game articles as to why they weren't ported to the Switch, that might make sense. Does it matter if any games were announced then canceled, or just not planned to begin with?
660:
I'm entirely befuddled by the notion that it's a problem that this list of cancelled games is limited to only games cancelled for budget issues and games cancelled for technical issues. Should there be games cancelled for political issues? Games cancelled for fun? The only third thing I could think
601:
five times over, and is already headed for more. I also wrote all the "notes", and it was not from a place of grievance, but from a place of fascination in the video game development process. There's no negatively there (if it comes off that way, please, anyone tweak it, that was not the intent.)
488:
They're literally articles dedicated to the subject, with the Switch cancellation making the headline each time. That's not a passing mention, that's significant coverage. What is going on here? We've interacted at AFD for decades at this point now. You never hold articles to such a insanely high
578:
Don't really see a reason this has to be standalone. Surely cancelled games can also be featured under the overall game list, but marked as cancelled rather than having a release date. Having a list solely for cancelled games feels like an airing of grievances from angered Switch owners.
675:
I was puzzled by that too. "Difficulties in programming" and "difficulties in budget" are some of the most relevant and important aspects in the gaming making industry. And it's a list, so it's not like it's the place to write up a full multi-paragraph detailed account of things.
459:
Those are not significant coverage, just quoting game designers or game companies announcing they aren't porting them. Some articles contain mentions of other things in them, but the content about a game being cancelled for porting to the Switch is not significant.
345:
These are games released on other systems that they wanted to release on the Switch, but had problems and decided not to. You can't list every single game that was released on one system but not ported to all systems, that would be long and pointless.
661:
of would be games moved from Switch to the next platform, but obviously, that's not something that could exist at the moment. Unless you're taking issue with the existence of all list of cancelled video games, I don't see what the issue is. -
273:- every entry is sourced, so I'm not entirely sure what the complaint is there. There's also long-standing precedent for "list of cancelled (platform) games" list articles to exist so I find the entire nomination puzzling. It's also a valid

391:
The references I clicked on are just quoting press releases and making brief mentions that it won't be ported to the Switch as planned. Is there a single item on the list with significant coverage?

813:, as others have explained. It's well-sourced – I have no idea what the nominator meant by "hardly any sources" – and the only other arguments for deletion presented thus far seem to amount to
736:. It does not have "few" sources, it has as many sources as is necessary for the size of the list. Merging is also not viable, as the list of Nintendo Switch games is already large as it is. -
