Hi-Fi Rush, Psychonaunts 1 and 2, Sunset Overdrive. And of course any Rare Replay/ any Rare titles that aren't on NSO already. If MS can't put Rare Replay on Switch due to the emulated 360 games, then do it on Switch 2.
Better than I was expecting, especially since the Switch is winding down. Got some neat surprises like Epic mickey, a new monkey ball and Penny's BB being shadow dropped. Totally expect any new, major 1st and 3rd parties to be saved for Switch 2 or be cross gen releases.
Good to see the positive previews, not that I'm surprised since this always looked like it would be a solid game. Definitely picking this up eventually.
If there's actually an internal 'delay' due to games not being ready, then I think they can coast this year with smaller titles, remakes etc. Not to mention they have the existing Switch library with countless evergreen titles.
I still think Switch 2 is coming this year, but if it's early 2025 and we only get smaller titles this year, it is what it is. Certainly can't be any worse than 2016 for the 3DS and Wii U.
This could be referring to Brazil specifically, remember the Switch didn't launch in Brazil until 2020. Maybe the Switch 2 would release worldwide mid-late this year in most of the world and Brazil in early 2025.
Even if this means a worldwide 2025 release, I wouldn't mind. I have plenty to play on Switch in the meantime and I trust Nintendo to deliver a quality 1 year for Switch 2 if it means "delaying" it.
That's fine. Rather just buy games like Hi Fi Rush, pentiment etc that are likely to come to Switch. As for Rare titles, add them to NSO or just put Rare replay on Switch.
Interesting. Always felt Sony forced Nintendo's hand with their purchase of EVO. I imagine Sony wants to have all the games present to be played on Playstation hardware.
Definitely going to be interesting if we see a bunch of Xbox games heading to Switch 2. Wouldn't surprise me after we got the Oris, a few Rare titles via NSO etc. on the current Switch and will likely get HiFi Rush as well.
A fair prediction since the Switch is closing in on 140M units sold and it's really hard to replicate that. But that doesn't mean Switch 2 won't be successful in its own right.
Yeah, most likely saved for the successor. I don't mind waiting personally, still have to finish P5 royal and Strikers on Switch, so I have plenty of Persona to keep me occupied until then.
I'm glad they went with the more simplistic UI; less is more. I never plan on spending time or looking at the UI, I strongly prefer it to be fast and responsive.
Actually a decent percentage considering we know next to nothing about it. Of course more and more devs. will be getting dev. kits as time goes on.
Edit: Just for reference, I checked a GDC survey back in March 2017 and only 3% of devs. were working on Switch games at the time. So yeah, already looking good for Switch 2.
I had a feeling sales would improve since Kingdom Battle was a good evergreen title, often going on sale as low as $15. Really hope we see more entries in this series.
One of my favorite PS2 games, spent so much time redoing all the missions in various different ways. Definitely want to get this on Switch, the new additions look neat too.
Nice to see Zelda and Mario get plenty of nominations. A shame Pikmin 4 didn't a nomination in the 'Strategy/Simulation Game of the Year' category. It totally deserves it.
This makes sense. Prior instances like Metroid Dread and the warriors games were successful, so it wouldn't surprise me if they reached out to more partners.

Wow, nice lineup of games here. Nice to see more and more Rareware titles on Switch, where they belong.

Definitely interested in this game. All the transformations look pretty cool.
Re: Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase February 2024 - Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
The 2022 partner showcase was good, so it's not like these partners can't be solid. With that said, as usual, I'm going in zero expectations.
Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Isn't Coming Until 2025, What's Nintendo Got Up Its Sleeve This Year?

Re: Microsoft To Bring Four Xbox Exclusives To Other Consoles, But Won't Name Them
I'll gladly take Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment and Grounded on Switch. Not my cup of tea, but Sea of Thieves is also a nice game to have on Switch.
Re: Review: Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Switch) - An Easygoing, Kid-Friendly Remake That's Just Fine
I still want to buy this at some point. Always nice to have a more relaxing, easy going game.
Re: Hands On: Splatoon 3's Spicy 'Side Order' DLC Isn't For The Faint Of Heart
This sounds great, already have this purchased. Can't wait for the end of the month.
Re: Xbox Exclusives Hi-Fi RUSH & Pentiment Reportedly Coming To "Rival Consoles"
Assuming this is true, sign me up for both.
Re: Sega Reports 'Sluggish' Sales Of Sonic Superstars And Other Major Titles
Yup, Sega completely fumbled with release timing and pricing.
Re: Japanese Charts: Persona 3 Reload Dominates In A Quiet Week For Switch Software
And yet Switch still moved more hardware.
I'm in a bit of a Persona backlog(amidst the much larger actual backlog,lol) on Switch, so I don't mind waiting for P3R on Switch 2.
Re: EVO Would Happily Welcome Back Smash Bros. Tournaments
Interesting. Always felt Sony forced Nintendo's hand with their purchase of EVO. I imagine Sony wants to have all the games present to be played on Playstation hardware.
Re: It's Official, Nintendo Switch Is The Best-Selling Hardware In Japan
What an accomplishment. So well deserved for the Switch.
Re: Switch Sales Pass 139 Million, Will Be "Main Business" Heading Into 2024, Says Nintendo President
Nearly 140M, very impressive. Could very well pass PS2 for best selling gaming platform of all time, insane.
Re: Here Are The Top Ten Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games As Of December 2023
Great to see TotK already at 20M. Pretty remarkable that only two Zelda games can combine for 50M+ in sales.
Re: Microsoft To Share "Vision For The Future Of Xbox" Next Week
Definitely going to be interesting if we see a bunch of Xbox games heading to Switch 2. Wouldn't surprise me after we got the Oris, a few Rare titles via NSO etc. on the current Switch and will likely get HiFi Rush as well.
Re: Switch Reportedly Less Than 1 Million Shy Of Being Japan's Best-Selling Console
It's definitely going to happen sooner or later, no need to argue semantics.
Totally deserved for the Switch, such an amazing platform.
Re: Hi-Fi Rush Datamine Lends Weight To Switch Port Rumours
Been wanting to play this ever since it came out last year, this would be a nice announcement at the February Direct(which will probably happen).
Re: Analysts Doubt 'Switch 2' Will Be Able To Top Switch's Mighty Sales Numbers
A fair prediction since the Switch is closing in on 140M units sold and it's really hard to replicate that. But that doesn't mean Switch 2 won't be successful in its own right.
Re: Random: Nintendo Teams Up With Capri Sun To "Slurp To Win" Switch OLED (US)
Haven't had a Capri Sun in ages, but I love to see Pikmin alongside Animal Crossing and Mario Kart in this promotion.
Re: 'Switch 2' Launching This Year With 8-Inch LCD Screen, According To New Analyst Rumour
I would prefer OLED, but it makes sense they're going with LCD. Going with LCD definitely isn't a deal breaker for me, it'll all be about the games.
Re: Splatoon 3 'Side Order' DLC Inks Its Way Onto Switch Next Month
Sounds fun. I already have the expansion pass purchased, so I'm locked and loaded.

Pretty cool. I'm really enjoying all the different costumes and playstyles for Peach in this game.
Re: Random: Persona 3 Reload On Switch? "The Idea Is There" Says Director
Yeah, most likely saved for the successor. I don't mind waiting personally, still have to finish P5 royal and Strikers on Switch, so I have plenty of Persona to keep me occupied until then.
Re: Nintendo Switch Menu Mockups Found On Prototype Console
I'm glad they went with the more simplistic UI; less is more. I never plan on spending time or looking at the UI, I strongly prefer it to be fast and responsive.
Re: 8% Of Developers Are Apparently Working On Games For Switch's Successor
Actually a decent percentage considering we know next to nothing about it. Of course more and more devs. will be getting dev. kits as time goes on.
Edit: Just for reference, I checked a GDC survey back in March 2017 and only 3% of devs. were working on Switch games at the time. So yeah, already looking good for Switch 2.
Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario Wonder Blows The Competition Away... Again
Yup, Mario Wonder being a strong evergreen seller is no surprise. Also nice to see Pikmin 4 still doing quite well.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Nominated For GDC Game Of The Year Award
No surprise it gets a nomination for GotY, such a masterpiece.
Re: Random: Square Enix & Foamstars Producer Is Bored Of Splatoon Comparisons
Tired of the comparisons to Splatoon, but.....Foamstars was clearly inspired by Splatoon. Make that make sense.
Yeah, I'll stick with Splatoon 3, thank you very much.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Has Reportedly Sold Almost 3 Million Copies
I had a feeling sales would improve since Kingdom Battle was a good evergreen title, often going on sale as low as $15. Really hope we see more entries in this series.
Re: Nintendo Games Have Now Dominated Japan's Sales Charts For 19 Consecutive Years
That's insane. Really happy to see TotK do this well in Japan.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Two RPG Classics Next Week
This is neat. Never finished the 1st one and never even played the 2nd, so this is great to have them on NSO.
Re: Fibre Wire At The Ready, Hitman: Blood Money Launches On Switch This Month
One of my favorite PS2 games, spent so much time redoing all the missions in various different ways. Definitely want to get this on Switch, the new additions look neat too.
Re: Review: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown (Switch) - Slick, Stylish, And 2024's First Must-Play
No surprise this turned out well, Ubisoft Montpellier knows their stuff. The glowing reviews has pushed me to get this sooner rather than later.
Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Wonder And Switch OLED Finish 2023 In Style
Switch still very dominant in Japan all these years later. Really happy to see Pikmin and Mario Wonder doing really well.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Nominated For D.I.C.E. Awards 'Game Of The Year'
Nice to see Zelda and Mario get plenty of nominations. A shame Pikmin 4 didn't a nomination in the 'Strategy/Simulation Game of the Year' category. It totally deserves it.
Re: Video: Mario vs. Donkey Kong Switch Gets Brand New Trailer 'Pieces Of The Puzzle'
This looks good. I never played the original GBA game, so it'll be a new experience for me. The added content is a nice bonus too.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's New Spirits Have Been Revealed, Out This Week
Pretty neat, might have to hop back into Smash for this.
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Seeking More Studios To Work On Its IP
This makes sense. Prior instances like Metroid Dread and the warriors games were successful, so it wouldn't surprise me if they reached out to more partners.
Re: Rumour: Microsoft Will Bring Critically Acclaimed Exclusive To "Competitor System" This Year
Hi Fi Rush has been rated for Switch, PS4 and XB1 in Australia, looks like this is true. 👀
Re: EA Sports FC 24 Is The Top Game For December '23 As Switch Settles In Behind PS5 (UK)
Pretty impressive to see Switch and its software doing fairly well, even in Nintendo's weakest market.
