Switch 2 games so far: The big, the indie, the unexpected Bloodborne successor
- Thread starter JournalBot
- Start date
Not seeing system sellers at the quality of Breath of the Wild or Mario Odyssey.
Well, at least it makes it a lot easier to wait for the upgraded OLED model in a year or two.
Until then I'll focus on my backlog on my Switch 1 and Steamdeck.

All I want is Metroid Prime 4 and remasters of 2 & 3 and Nintendo will get my money. But until then I will wait.

Very excited for the Nintendo titles shown.
As for third party, probably most excited to finally get to play Star Wars Outlaws.

Note on this one: Deltarune will actually have more than four chapters (the assumption is seven, though I don't think that's been explicitly confirmed), but this release marks the first time that the game is actually going to cost money. The first two chapters have been available for free, while the next two are releasing at $24.99 for the set of 1-4. Future chapters will arrive as free updates to the paid package later on.

Playing outlaws on my PS5, but it would be perfect on the Switch...

Apparently that "Director's Cut" includes additional cutscenes, a co-op mode and an English dub. Fortunately, it sounds like it's only a timed exclusive.
Also, Star Wars Outlaws is going to be released later this year:

Prime 4, Duskbloods, and Kart World all would have been potential system sellers for me personally. All 3 are certainly enough to get my attention locked in.

I’ve never owned a Nintendo and they’re relatively unknown in my part of the world. But I’ll definitely have to gift myself one for Xmas 2026. Just to play the two Zelda games & FromSoftware’s game.

Hoping to see a Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition jungle framerate video on June 7th. 1080p 60fps and Ill buy it. Hopefully Elden Ring can hit the same target without too many compromises. With GPUs these days this seems doable.

Gotta admit, I'll probably never play that wheelchair Skateboard Basketball game but that's a really cool idea. It'll be the ARMS of this generation I'm guessing (both a compliment of originality and an admission that it'll probably be ignored even though it's really unique).
I'm not super keen on Mario Kart x Forza Horizon but it looks to incorporate a lot of things Nintendo has been toying with with MK8
weather/time of day from that RC game, costumes, real life inspriation courses, and multiple routes from the mobile game, etc. $80 is a hard pill to swallow but I'm sure I'll get it eventually.
Also I hope I'm not the only one who thought the new DK game was going to be a Banjo Kazooie game because of the googly eyes.

Judging by the headline art, they've really shaken up the aesthetic for the remake of Majora's Mask.

I don't know where OP is from, but up until recently, even though people knew what a Mario is, Nintendo wasn't very much known in Turkey as a gaming platform. It is still not the phenomenon as in USA.

I was absolutely not expecting to want a Switch 2, as my first-gen OLED model already mostly gathers dust. But Drag x Drive of all games is genuinely making me reconsider. The control scheme looks incredibly immersive if it works, and its the sort of representation that can make a difference
One of my parents is a former paralympic athlete, so growing up I was surrounded by incredible adults involved in various para sports. It meant I was very aware of how little representation these sports havw in video games and pop culture. As a family we would go watch a wheelchair rugby game,or vision-impaired winter sports, and we were disappointed they weren't included in Wii Sports or the Mario Olympic Games. I would have absolutely played this game if it had existedback then.
On a side note, if you havent already watched a wheelchair basketball or rugby game in real life I highly recommend it. They're both much more physical than you'd expect, and the skills are incredible

I am pretty over the BOTW art style, but that new Hyrule Warriors game kind of fascinates me. I'm sure they will shoehorn him in somehow, but given the trailer didn't even seem to hint at Link's involvement in any way, that may well be a first for the series.
I could absolutely play Bravely Default again in HD. And as a Final Fantasy collector, I'll be getting the Remake cart. Hades 2 is day one.
Donkey Kong and Don't-Call-It-Bloodborne don't interest me at all personally, but it's cool to see the wide ranging genres and styles.
Not nearly enough farming sims. /s
Ultimately though, I expect to be playing more Mario Kart on this system alone than I will all games on my PS5 and PC combined this year.

I was quite surprised not to see Baldur's Gate 3 in the Direct. It's already quite well-ported, even with a MacOS version (and it works very well on Linux/Steam Deck), and it lends itself quite well to portable play.
I'm looking forward to Mario Kart and Donkey Kong (and Metroid 4) but I do wonder when a new 3D Mario or a new Zelda will be coming to Switch 2. I mean, it's a day 1 purchase for me anyways (if I can find one) but I'll certainly be waiting impatiently for one of those.

I'm also quite surprised not to see a new mainline 3D mario game. Mario Odyssey came out not long after the Switch 1 release, it feels like the timing is right for another entry.
Unfortunately I think it will be quite a while before a new mainline 3D Zelda game. Tears of the Kingdom was not that long ago.
I for one am very excited for Metroid Prime 4 and the new From Soft release.

We have made contact
(this gesture itself is a microcosm of why I love Bloodborne. It's simply named "Make Contact" with no explanation. Outside of the game,it has been suggested that if you ever meet an extra-terrestrial being, the first thing you should do is draw a right-angled (or Pythagorean) triangle, to demonstrate that you and the human race understand mathematics. In the absence of a common language, it's the best way of signalling that you possess intelligence, and convince the ETs that you are trying to communicate with them.)

It didn't get too many mentions, but I really want to give the new Donkey Kong game a shot. It looks good and different and I love DK's new design

Looks like they cancelled Diddy from Donkey Kong, and now DK is... strip mining an island? Wasn't that what the kongs were protecting their island against - the kremlins exploiting their land?

Look, the current economic challengers are hitting everyone, even the Kongs. Difficult choices had to be made. Jobs for Kongs won out over protecting the environment when push came to shove.

There may be a new Mario game staged for the holidays, but given how Nintendo really wanted to sell the narrative of how third parties are wholly on board for Switch 2, I suspect anything about a proper Mario game would have overshadowed everything else. That's probably why the new Metroid was also just a blip on the screen this Direct.

Cool, but whither the oft-leaked new Fire Emblem game? And, I am still over here hoping that it's a remake of Geneology of the Holy War.

That will make 2 Blood games I can't play on PC 
Edit: It's a great lineup, I just really have no desire to buy any console at this point in my life.

Finally the "dark Zelda" generations of edgy teenagers have been asking for!
Now that I think about it, the sense of humor in the Dark Souls games isn't so far removed from Majora's Mask's goofiness.

Some are saying this might actually be the original Donkey Kong, now known as Cranky Kong, due to the different look.

And they tease you with Captain Falcon being in every Smash Bros title. Like, quit dilettanting around Saffron City, Captain; we need you on the track!
(In other words, yes. Also Starfox. Also Extreme G.)

The input lag made Switch the worst platform for Hollow Knight, by far. It would be quite the reversal for Switch 2 to be Silksong's launch platform.

In 2022 Xbox was the first to announce some form of exclusivity with Silksong. It will come out on Game Pass at launch too.

All signs point to Bananza being developed by the same team as Odyssey, so there's your new Mario for ya.

Smack-Fu Master, in training
They might announce something for the holiday season, but my guess is they will wait until 2026 to give Donkey Kong enough room to sell.
