2022 is happening. Either XCX or XC3, which I’m actually leaning toward XC3 because there were rumors and, the last XC release was a port, and I’m not sure they’ll do 2 back to back. But I do think it’ll come, one way or another.
@Magician i expect Nintendo to anounce the rumored medieval game Monolith Soft is developing since 2017 or a Xenoblade Chonicles 3 to release in holiday 2022.
Monolith Soft is a fairly huge development studio now (five different teams). I thought I read rumors of a new game outside of the XC series coming from them while they're developing BotW 2 and XC 3?

Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
Fully expecting a Yoshi's Woolly World port in 2023. Not sure why but people always seem to forget about that game when talking about Wii U ports even though it's a pretty major game. It's not like Splatoon or Smash where the Switch entries made the Wii U ones redundant; Woolly World and Crafted World can coexist on Switch.
Other stuff for 2023 will be a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Fire Emblem (I think it gets revealed in 2022 but doesn't get released until 2023).
The Fall/Holiday season will be headlined by Metroid Prime 4, a 2D Zelda, Pokemon Gen 9, and whatever Next Level Games is currently working on.
@Grumblevolcano Given the typical 4-5 year development cycle this gen, there's a very decent chance of MonolithSoft's project coming out in 2022, given the initial listing was late 2017. We do know that it likely was also under both COVID and BotW2 related delays.

It did get a 3DS release though. But for that you'd have to say it'd be a nailed on certainty but I think the existence of the 3DS version puts a question mark over it.
Great game though!
I'd love to see Donkey Kong Returns HD come to Switch. Again the 3DS version probably somehow makes it less likely (even though the 3DS has effectively been dead for 4 or 5 years now).
@StuTwo So did Hyrule Warriors, and that still made its way to Switch despite the 3DS version getting a whole season pass of content that the Wii U original didn't.
I think the difference is, supply constraints on Switch are diminishing it from 28m to 24m, after 2 revised forecasts. Whereas other consoles are looking at 16m due to harder to manufacture chips.
To be sure, everyone is affected. But Nintendo is... less so, I would say. I guess it depends how you look at it. They're short at least 4 mil this year, and perhaps that's a larger impact than anyone else. But, at least nominally, they're still able to see higher throughput annually due to easier to manufacture chips, and the fact they're sourcing through Nvidia rather than AMD like everyone else, and are thus Nvidia's #1 priority customer, with little competition from other devices using chips from the same process.
They just barreled through 100 million like it was the starting line rather than the finish- I've never seen a console hit that milestone with such velocity and momentum. As long as they're able to maintain 20m+ in 2022, they're well on their way to the record books.

Finished the first SMT V Circle now and plan to do at least one more run to get that secret ending before putting it down for a longer period. This was seriously my highlight of the year on the Switch, can't believe how much i liked it at the end.
On a different note, i just started the first Danganronpa and am positively blown away at the trials after a bit of a slow start, so excited and barely started this game. I wonder how hard the cases are gonna get from here on out

Finally grabbed this for analog triggers in Trials Rising. I've put hundreds of hours into that game, and have worked my way through the game from scratch 4 separate times across multiple platforms and versions of Switch. Figured it's time to invest in a wireless controller with analog triggers. And the only one that fits the bill and is compatible, is the Wavebird.

@1UP_MARIO
I was very selective when choosing one to buy off eBay. Wanted to get one brand new but those were way too expensive. This one was $70 shipped, but in such good condition I was OK with that.
Bet a good cleaning would get yours pretty sparkly though. And, can always replace the analog sticks if needed.
