I was at a Smyths Toys in the UK this morning and there was a queue for it to open. Once inside staff appologised to anyone waiting for a pre-order, they said there are 100s in the back and it will take a while to go through them...

I hope work has begun on a second Zelda movie, it would be great to see a LoTR's style trilogy.

what are the chances this gets a physical release? Maybe a collection after the third game is released digitally?

What are the chances this and the previous game get physical releases? Are these destined for Limited Run?

@Nintoz if they didn't another Mario Maker, I wonder if they would do something like a Bowser's Fury edition, where there is a set environment and you can add the platform elements and challenges?

@FlyingDunsparce I think they should add a new race mode with new trophies, where rather than driving from one circuit to another, you have a more traditional Mario Kart racing format with the race going from one circuit to another...keep how it works now, but add this as a new feature.

I also wonder if they could add a story element where you need to go across the map to do different things?

@GrailUK Simpsons Hit and Run would be great!!

From the article above, a remaster of Wave Race (or a new game) would be great, I also want Star Fox Advenutres on NSO!! Two great shouts!!

I really want Red Dead Redemption 2 and Gears of War.

@romanista which pushsquare article are you talking about?!?!

If the rumoured Zelda remake is really excellent and if GTA6 came to Switch2, the year could be pretty big!

Any of the following:-

1. Mario 3
2. Donkey Kong
3. Star Fox
4. Luigi's Mansion
5. Mario Kart

is Hytale coming to the Switch?

I wonder if there will be aw physical release.

This looks great!

It's good to see Lennie James in the cast, I think he's an underrated actor!

This looked interesting, I'd never heard of it. It looked good!

Three announcements would make this a 10/10...
1. Red Dead 2
2. Gears of War
3. GTA (5 or 6)

@Johnny_Arthur Hopefully we'll end up with a Back to the Future situation and they film parts 2 and 3 back to back!

@Wakkawipeout It was also where they announced 3D World + Bowsers Fury, maybe they do something similar with 3D Land?

@Wewewi That's a good shout, slightly annoyed I didn't include it on my list!!!

Hopefully Mario Wonder will get some new content, maybe a new secret world?

@Lizuka I think the branding and grouping should be considered. A New Super Mario Bros. collection which has three games to include, 1 + 2 from the DS/3DS and the Wii game, I think this works well based on Nintendo's history.

A 3D All Stars 2 collection only has two new game options when looking at the previous collection (3D Land + Galaxy 2).

I don't think NSO games would be included, so I don't think Mario 64 or Sunshine would be included, even though I would love a Sunshine remaster (like Metroid Prime) but with improved controls, bug fixes and new contents.

Maybe we see a Galaxy collection with both games remastered, maybe with some new content? Nintendo could justify that as the first collection was a limited release, but what happens to 3D Land? maybe that's a 45th Anniversary item!!

@roboshort That would be a good release, but I'm not sure how likely it is as all those games are on NSO, would releasing them as a compilation take away from NSO? Maybe

@Olliemar28 Thanks! It will be interesting to see what happens this time, it's not impossible that it's a Mario only direct? it could include...
1. Mario 40? (Mario 35 was excellent and should never have been a time limited release)
2. A "New" Super Mario Bros. collection?
3. A Mario Galaxy double pack?
4. Maybe even a trailer for a new 3D Mario releasing in 2026?
5. New Mario Kart World content?

What happened with the Mario 35th Direct? Was that an entire direct just on Mario or was it a section of a bigger direct, I can't remember.

Great list, but it's missing one epic game which has a good chance...Gears of War!!!

I've been playing a great 2D platformer called Splasher and I only have a few levels left, I highly recommend it. It cost me less than £2 on sale in the eshop!

I have no interest in this game, but I hope it does well as I'd really like EA to bring their NHL game over to the Switch!

There wasn't a single game that I thought I would definitely buy, disappointing for me, but for fans of certain genres I assume it was great!

Hopefully we'll get Gears of War!!!!!!!

@EvenStephen7 from one perspective it's good, it means there will be a full direct in a month or so.

Hopefully we get Gears of War and Red Dead Redemption 2!!

@Synecdoche that changes my opinion a bit, my son isn't old enough for that. Such a shame, I wonder if that adds to to the game? A 2 player co op where children can't play it seems to be limiting sales.

@SillyG @the_beaver Thanks, sounds like I should be cautious but consider it, I'll try and find some footage on youtube before I make a decision.

Why is this 16 rated? I wanted to play this with my 10 year old.

@Orpheus79V You are 100% correct. I watch a guy called John Campea on Youtube who knows the business really well and he was saying exactly the same thing.

This game is excellent, I'm having a lot of fun with it. I scored it an 8 as I do feel like I'm grinding a little to unlock tracks etc, but it is lots of fun. In hindsight I should have scored it a 9 as I didn't take into account value, this game is a bargain for what you get.

I'm in a queue at my local Smyths Toys in the UK (midnight launch) and there is a really big queue to pick up pre orders.

I'm not getting Cyberpunk day one, but for me that's a must buy, I can't wait to play that.

This is perfect!! I've had a copy of No Mans Sky for a while, but haven't played it yet, so this and Mario Kart World can be the first games I play!

@larryisaman @Regulus6891 is it just us three that want an NHL game?! LOL

the Gears of War series is what I really want to see on Switch 2. Halo and Forza would be great, but Gears would be my first pick.

I really want an NHL he.on switch, the golf would be cool too.

I didn't own one, but the WiiU had an insane launch line up, surely that has to be the best?

The Switch 2 looks great too, Cyberpunk and Fast Fusion will be my first 3rd party titles.

phase two will commence in October / November and allow for titles from third-party publishers to shine. As part of this, it's said that developers will receive dev kits in June

This doesn't make sense, 3rd parties getting dev kits in June to prepare games for release in October? I bet any major 3rd party game releasing this year is already being worked on via a dev kit, the timeline doesn't add up.

Thinking a bit further ahead. Nintendo have developed a great concept in the Switch and unless the gaming landscape shifts massively, we should get the Switch 3 sometime after 2030. If that turns out to be right, it will be interesting to see if the Switch 3 is backwards compatible with Switch 1 AND 2...

I hope they add more locations. They had one in Manchester (UK) last time, it was really good.

@DwaynesGames I was thinking the same. There are enough large exhibition spaces around the world that it could tour for a couple of years and do very well.

I wonder if Super Rare Games will do a physical release.

No one expected the Switch to be able to support Skyrim, whereas every game on that list is kinda expected on Switch 2, I think the only possibility is GTA6 - that would be a WOW moment.

I'd be disappointed if every game in the Poll didn't end up on Switch 2 at some point.

@GrailUK what do you think about the best games on the Switch that are similar?

This looks excellent, hopefully it gets a physical release.
