A couple of first party games and tons of 3rd party support. This is some of the best AAA 3rd party support that Nintendo has had. This gets a 10 from me. People complaining here should consider getting another hobby.
A couple of first party games and tons of 3rd party support. This is some of the best AAA 3rd party support that Nintendo has had. This gets a 10 from me. People complaining here should consider getting another hobby.
My wish list:
New Mario 3D game for 2027
Zelda Ocarina of Time
NHL
Microsoft games
Witcher 3 Switch 2 edition
Red Dead Redemption 2
Brand new games that I have not heard about.
Switch 2 announcements for games that were announced for other platforms last week (some had Switch 2 announcements but maybe more)
@Ryu_Niiyama PS5 had 7 first party games in year one. And not be that guy, but a game like Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart or Spiderman would equal to half if not more of these 13 Switch games just due to the sheer graphics and the worlds that were built with those graphics. With small exceptions, a Sony game takes longer to make.
DK Bonanza, Pokémon, and Mario Kart were the big games. The other games were more niche. Star Fox is a great addition, but it is a 4 hour game. I did appreciate Switch 2 editions of Switch 1 games. I especially loved the 3rd party support, keep that coming
It looks like the original 3 games are being remastered for PS5 and Xbox. I wonder if Switch 2 will be included? I did see the mention of the other consoles in this article.
I love my Switch 2. And yes, it has a lot of great games. But I feel like Nintendo needs to have a better road map and communicate that better. Also, when a 3rd party game is coming to PS/Xbox, I want to know if it's also coming to Switch 2. On that front, it has gotten better with games like the upcoming Call of Duty and Tomb Raider being announced for all systems. Finally, I am waiting impatiently for that new Mario 3D game to be announced. That is what I want the most.
@abbyhitter Sony and Microsoft are doing presentations while Nintendo seems content sitting on the sidelines. Maybe they will shortly announce a full Direct that is for more than 1 game. Then there's the Game Fest.
Surprised it took that long for Minecraft to have a Switch 2 version. Now what other Switch 1 games would benefit from having a Switch 2 version. My picks would be Witcher 3 and Mutant Year Zero.
PS Vita had a horrible Call of Duty game. This is probably going to be a first better COD experience on a handheld. I got Declassified back in the day, but I am so much more excited for this one.
@acNewUpdates Us digital owners had to pay extra for the physical media copies all these years. It costs money to make physical games and digital owners had to pick up that tab. I am glad that Nintendo is finally realizing that, although it seems that this game is cheaper for physical copy at the moment. Maybe it is not selling as well as Nintendo had hoped.
@jsty3105 I agree with you on that. Maybe Nintendo's attention got diverted to the movie. Past Directs were just more exciting because usually there were tons of announcements and it felt like there was something in there for everyone whether it was an Indie, Partner or a main Direct. I love my Switch 2, but I want to be more excited about what is coming in the next 6 or 12 months.
@jsty3105 I think you are blinded by your loyalty to Nintendo. With Switch 1, some games were announced last minute, but many, especially with 3rd party games were known for many months in advance. We also had more Directs, Indie Showcases, etc. Now we get a Direct for exactly one game. In addition we got 3 Directs for the Mario Galaxy movie.
@jsty3105 and how did that work out for Wii-U? I would argue that Nintendo did a fantastic job at keeping gamers informed with Switch 1 games, but for some reason is not doing that with Switch 2 games, including 3rd party ones.
Nintendo fans are in full force here defending Nintendo. I think folks like me want a road map for the next 12 months and beyond, not just for the next 2 months. Also want to see same continued 3rd party support. I think Nintendo is in position to do that but for some odd reason doesn't want to reveal the games too early. I have a PS5, but prefer to play handheld on the road. If I know a PS5 or PS4 game is coming to Switch 2, I am going to not buy it on PS5 and wait for that Switch 2 version.
First party games have been great but nothing mind blowing. I think something like Mario 3D will fix that. Also, 3rd party games, I can see the release schedules for Xbox and PS5, but Switch 2 schedule is rather small. Need to fix that. Having said that, I love my Switch 2 so far
There are some great games on Switch 2 but personally I think it's still missing that AAA hitter. I know others will disagree but that's just me speaking as a Switch 2 owner. I need to know what is coming in next 12 months for first party and also for 3rd party games.
@HalBailman from those, Yoshi, DK Bonanza, and Metroid Prime 4 for me. The other ones are not for me. Even with the games I mentioned, it just feels like Nintendo is missing a humongous game here, like Mario 3D. This game needs to push Switch 2 to it's limits. And more announcements for 3rd party games for the next 6 to 12 months.

I can confirm that they did add an easy option. Fantastic game.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Season Pass 2 Announced, Includes Six New DLC Packs
When the Sega logo came up during the show, for a second I thought that it was for Sonic Frontiers Definitive Edition for Switch 2. 😂
Re: It's Official, Monster Hunter Wilds Is Now In Development For Switch 2
Capcom strikes again. They are the most prolific developer for Switch 2.
Re: Resident Evil Veronica Confirmed For Switch 2 Next Year
Capcom keeps bringing their big blockbuster games to Switch 2 more than any other studio including Nintendo.
Re: The Best Nintendo Switch 2 Games
I generally agree with this list. I would probably put Assassin's Creed a bit higher

Re: LEGO Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight Finally Punches Up Switch 2 Release Date
I don't like the trend of releasing Switch 2 games after Xbox/PS release dates but I am glad that it will be out in September.
Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct Might Come Our Way As Soon As Next Week
Maybe it will be another movie direct or a one game focused one. 🤪

Re: 'No Rest For The Wicked', The ARPG Soulslike From Ori Dev, Is Officially Coming To Switch 2
I like Ori but not a fan of souls like games. Do you lose everything upon death?
Re: Tomb Raider: Legacy Of Atlantis Jumps Onto Switch 2 Next Year
Wait, what? I was going to get this on PS5, but now will get on Switch 2 instead.
Re: Minecraft Switch 2 Rating Pops Up Online

Re: Best Yoshi Games Of All Time
I think a lot of folks are grading based on nostalgia. I personally like Crafted World the best.
Re: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Revealed For Switch 2
@jsty3105 people know that games are coming. We just want to be better informed and be more excited about future games. Nothing wrong with that.
Re: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Revealed For Switch 2
PS Vita had a horrible Call of Duty game. This is probably going to be a first better COD experience on a handheld. I got Declassified back in the day, but I am so much more excited for this one.
Re: The Witcher 3 Is Getting A New Expansion, But Not On Switch
Still hoping for Switch 2 edition
Re: PSA: You Can Pre-Order Star Fox Physically For Less Than The Digital Version (UK)
@acNewUpdates Us digital owners had to pay extra for the physical media copies all these years. It costs money to make physical games and digital owners had to pick up that tab. I am glad that Nintendo is finally realizing that, although it seems that this game is cheaper for physical copy at the moment. Maybe it is not selling as well as Nintendo had hoped.
Re: Bloober Team CEO Hypes Up The Switch 2's Potential For Horror
Silent Hill 2 would be awesome
Re: Best Switch 2 Ports - The Most Impressive Third-Party Games On Nintendo Switch 2
I wouldn't call Pragmata, WWE and Resident Evil Requiem ports. They were released simultaneously on all platforms.
Re: Sonic Frontiers "Definitive Edition" Has Been Rated In Korea
Switch 1 edition was a huge downgrade. This would be huge for Switch 2 experience
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 3D Platformers
Looking forward to the next 3D Mario. Bowsers Fury DLC is my favorite, hope it's like that
Re: Nintendo Teases LEGO Donkey Kong, "Rolling Soon"
At a quick glance, I thought that it was a Lego Donkey Kong video game. Darn.
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Projected As The Best-Selling Game In April (US)
Kind of shocked to see it so popular. Not my cup of tea, but I guess it has a big following.
Re: Review: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book (Switch 2) - Charming Enough, But Ultimately Lacklustre
@BTB20 that's what the reviews are for. Do you expect glowing reviews on all of first party games without playing them yourself?
Re: Review: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book (Switch 2) - Charming Enough, But Ultimately Lacklustre
@PikaPhantom do I have to own the game to agree with the written or Video review? Score seems right to me.
Re: Review: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book (Switch 2) - Charming Enough, But Ultimately Lacklustre
@BAN No, but I did read the review and saw the video review as well. The score seems right
Re: Review: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book (Switch 2) - Charming Enough, But Ultimately Lacklustre
So funny to see all the Nintendo acolytes defending Nintendo here. As a Switch 2 owner, I think this review is good and spot on.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Yoshi And The Mysterious Book For Switch 2?
You are missing: when it's on a $40 sale 2 years from now. Yes, I am a patient person and will definitely get it at that price.
Re: Video: The Great Physical Vs. Digital Switch 2 Debate
Digital for me. But if physical is super cheap, then that. But that's more rare
Re: Stop Stressing, Nintendo Says More Switch 2 Games Are Coming
@Grumblevolcano I would love a new Jak and Daxter and an Infamous game with Cole. Add Sly Cooper to that wish list.

Re: All Delisted Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 Games Missing From The eShop
@UpsideDownRowlet Didn't know that, thank you for the clarification
Re: All Delisted Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 Games Missing From The eShop
I can see regular Minecraft available for purchase on my app. The Story mode is gone but not the regular one
Re: Nintendo Highlights Multiple Major Third-Party Releases For Switch 2 In 2026
Great games for the next 3 months, but what about after? I want more, lol
Re: Analyst Predicts A "Silent" Year Ahead For Nintendo

Re: Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games - Every First-Party Title To Pass One Million Sales
This list should have 3rd party games as well. Maybe have a separate section for Switch 2 games?
Re: Nintendo Announces Sweeping Price Hikes For Switch 2
So that's why Nintendo announced Star Fox the day before with a sudden announcement. To have good news along with some bad ones
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At Star Fox On Switch 2
Is this a really short game? Looking forward to it but wondering if it should be a rental.
