I have not seen a topic on this so I'm making one. If they can get Elden Ring running on it and Borderlands 4, anything is possible. What are some games you want?

I want non cloud versions of RE games, a SMT IV collection, and Dragon Quest 12.

Well they got me already with a new Hyrule Warriors so my eye is on 3rd parties. Hoping Bamco ports Soul Calibur VI and Tekken and that SEGA either ports VF or the whole Yakuza series (so I can play VF). Still hoping for NHL to come over eventually. Nintendo is getting a good swath of JRPGs and Indies so not worried about those. I would like to see some more Bethesda games. Skyrim was nice on the go.

As far as NS2 Editions go >

  • Luigi's Mansion 3 - (60fps + 1440p)
  • Pikmin 4 - (60fps + 1440p)
  • Legend of Zelda: LInk's Awakening - (1440p - 4K + a 'locked' 60fps/ & 1080p + 120fps)
  • Astral Chain - (60fps + 1440p)
  • Super Mario Oddyssey - (120fps + 1080p/ & 4K + 60fps)
  • Super Mario Bros. Wonder - (4K)
  • Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze - (120fps + 1080p)
  • Bayonetta 2 - (120fps + 1080p)
  • NSO Dreamcast
  • NSO Wii

Another great idea, would be LOZ: Skyward Sword HD in either 1080p + 120fps/& 4K + 60fps, But with the Wii remote Plus, Nunchuck and sensor bar(USB Wired) IF NSO Wii winds up happening, and if Nintendo allows Wii controller(s) compatibility outside the NSO service.

They could even port over Sin & Punishment: Star Successor from Wii, and get it running in either 4K + 60, or 120fps easily. Would love to see House of the Dead 2&3 return in 4K + 120 as well, With Wii remote pointer cross hair aiming of course.

Just the two that we'll not likely see for a couple of years at least, A new Zelda and a new 3d mario game, I can leave all the third party ports alone as I have a gaming PC and that takes care of them better than the Switch 2 ever could.

I am desperate for a remake/remaster of Kid Icarus Uprising.
You could already do it with a dual stick setup, or even gyro, but now MOUSE control is an option, too?
It'd be PERFECT.

Other than that, some Nintendo-specific games I would love to see are a Switch 2 Edition of Smash Ultimate — doesn't even need to add new characters, but reworking the online and matchmaking, and adding back in the handful of missing modes/bosses/stages would be amazing and a great excuse to dive back into this game — hell, a bump up to resolution and/or frame-rate would be pretty sick, too.

I'd honestly love to see Mario Bros. Wonder's Switch 2 Edition sooner rather than later, especially if it comes with an expansion. An excuse to replay that amazing game again and bring my spouse along for the ride this time would be very fun.

NS2 Editions of the Xenoblade games. XCDE and XC2 need them, in particular. XC2 rather desperately.

Ugh. Men.

Super Mario Maker 3 is my most wanted new Switch 2 game. I barely played the original on Wii U because I barely played my Wii U to begin with. I played the second one but lost a lot of interest after beating its story mode, and I got too sidetracked by other games like Splatoon and Smash. I still need a game to sell me mouse controls, and this one would be perfect.

I've been playing New Horizons again for half a year and won't be finally done until later this year, but I'm definitely looking forward to the next Animal Crossing.

I'm both curious and anxious about how Splatoon 4 will look, but I can wait a bit on that.

As for Switch 2 Editions, Mario Wonder makes sense, especially if there's new content like Kirby Forgotten Land. No telling how many editions Nintendo will make though.

Unless you count the Bowser's Fury mode, it feels like forever since there was a new 3D Mario, but now with DK it's going to take even longer.

I suppose an upgraded port of Sonic Superstars would be nice. So that it would be on par with the PS4 in terms of visuals and DLC included. But eh...

And maybe Phantasy Star Online 2.

Something new, fresh and unexpected. Something that, the moment I see it, I know I need but which I couldn’t tell you about at all right now.

…by its very nature though I can’t predict what that is so it’s hard to predict.

I’d certainly like to see a Metroid Dread sequel. And a really good Star Fox (though we’ve been disappointed a few times there). A sequel to Kirby Forgotten Land would be great (but it’s likely a while off given the expansion that’s coming).

I expect a new Fire Emblem next year and since 3 houses was so good that’s something I’d jump on.

In terms of ports or reworked games I’d like to see Samus Returns and Link Between Worlds from 3DS. I’d also like to see NSMB all stars.

Echos of Wisdom doesn’t run particularly well so I’d like to play the S2 edition (which is already confirmed I believe).

-Green-

New Famicom Detective Club, Ace Attorney 7, Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter Stories, and some cool new IP like what Splatoon was for the Wii U. Just something fresh that tries something new for Nintendo with an intuitive gameplay loop and a charming setting.

I want a new Fire Emblem game, which we will most definitely get. However, I hope it doesn’t have the art style of Engage. The opening hours quite literally made me put the game down and sell it - something I never do. Other than that, a new Xenoblade Chronicles game would be greatly appreciated.

@M67
I'm with you, although I think it'll be absolutely ages before Nintendo release either on Switch 2, I'm also confused why no one is mentioning a new Star Fox, surely that game is due for a new iteration or a remake.

I’ve been pretty disappointed we have not seen the Star Wars: Rogue Leader and Rogue Squadron games. Probably my fav SW games and just feel like a huge missed opportunity.

I’ll also second remakes of some 3DS games- Samus Returns and A Link Between Worlds would be great.

I’m surprised neither the rumoured Star Wars Jedi games have been announced considering the latest was made available on PS4 and Xbox One last year after the rumoured Switch 2 delay.

For sure Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of all Xenoblade games. But if that doesn't happen, I can settle for a locked 720p docked image output in handheld mode with stable 30fps on the Switch OLED. Still, I can only imagine how good Xenoblade 2 could be with a NSW2 Edition

Even though I'm happy with this, imagine Switch 2 Editions at 1080p handheld with 60fps...

If I were to throw a short list of 3rd party games together I'd say:

  • Mass Effect Legendary Edition (gyro, mouse)
  • Baldur's Gate 3 (mouse)
  • Tomb Raider Reboot Trilogy
  • Resident Evil VII (gyro, mouse)
  • Resident Evil Village (gyro, mouse)
  • Resident Evil 4 Remake (gyro, mouse)
  • Monster Hunter World (gyro)
  • Visions of Mana
  • Persona 3 Remake
  • Metaphor Fantazio
  • Halo MasterChief Collection (gyro, mouse)
  • Gears 5 (gyro, mouse)
  • The Witcher 3 NSW2 Edition

And uh... thats pretty much it. Switch 2 is already getting so many games I wanted (Cyberpunk, Street Fighter 6, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Yakuza 0, Hades 2, Hogwarts Legacy, etc.) my list is nearly half the size it would have been a month ago.

For 1st party wishlist, I really just want to see the next Fire Emblem, the new IP from Monolith Soft and Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remastered. Obviously I'll be enjoying countless other titles but these are the ones I specifically want to see.
