The rumor mill picking up speed again on Switch 2 launching in 2024.

What are 3 game predictions 1st or 3rd party launch window games for Nintendo Switch 2?

 

[jshackles]

Xenoblade Chronicles X (Port)
New 3D Mario Game
Wind Waker UltraHD

 

[Draugoth]

Announcement in February with a release in December 2024

Confirmed Releases:

• New Peach Game

Games that will release on it:

• ToTK & BoTW upscaled
• Metroid Prime 4
• Pokemon B&W Remake

 

[Xyphie]

GTA 5

 

[nightmare-slain]

Mario Odyssey 2 and BOTW/TOTK remaster bundle for launch.

MAYBE a new Pokemon game but not a main entry. Either a remake title or something like Lets Go Johto! .... but I think it's quite likely we will not see a Pokémon game until well into 2025.

 

[ZehDon]

Has backwards compatibility, can upscale old titles with improved frame rates, launches with slightly touched up version of TOTK and no other new games.

Outsells PS5 and XBX|S combined.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

1. 2024
2. No physical backwards compatibility.
3. Tears of the Kingdom in launch window.

 

[ManaByte]

GAF thread for sales prediction
People will declare it to flop
Thread will be bumped throughout the generation for lols

 

[hybrid_birth]

1. It will print money for Nintendo.
2. It will sell on eBay for $800
3. Mario Kart 9 will sell gangbusters.

 

[Cornbread78]

- Games that finally hit 1080p/60 fps
- BoTW & ToTK remasters, relaunched at full price of 69.99 so all the lemming pay full pricr for the same game all shiny
- Mario Odyssey 2 launch Title

 

[ManaByte]

No physical backwards compatibility.

Nintendo has been doing BC for 20 years. It’ll be insane for them to stop. Wii U played Wii. Wii played GCN. Not to mention the handhelds.

 

[analog_future]

Not predicting games, but just general predictions:

• Performance/graphics improvements will be disappointing to those that are anticipating big gains. It's pretty much going to be Switch games running at higher resolutions via ML upscaling, with some at higher framerates.
• Will launch alongside the next 3D Mario game
• Will have a $399.99 MSRP

 

[16bitwarzvet]

1. Upgraded versions of specific 1st party games that take advantage of new hardware
2. Monolith title
3. Mario Kart 9

 

[64bitmodels]

- Games that finally hit 1080p/60 fps

we've had that for a while now. Remember Smash ultimate? and Splatoon?

 

[Cornbread78]

we've had that for a while now. Remember Smash ultimate? and Splatoon?

I figured asking for 4k in handheld mode is asking too much. Plus, I still can't play Xenoblade 2/3 at 60fps, that shit runs at like 720/15fps in handheld mode..

 

[Investor9872]

Will not have complete 100% backward compatibility with the Switch!

 

[bitbydeath]

Nintendo have a history of releasing a good console and then a bad console, I’m not sure how they could possibly mess this one up, but…

 

[Pasta la Vista]

More analogue drift
$70 games
More remasters/remakes

 

[Vox Machina]

AI Uprising
Global Thermonuclear War
Mario Kart

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Shitty online platform
Mario, zelda, pokemon
Underpowered

 

[Fermbiz]

Over priced
Shit hardware
Sells a shit ton regardless

 

[Trilobit]

Super Mario Odyssey 2
New Animal Crossing
Some weird lackluster party game by third party.

 

[kiphalfton]

- Shitty pricing
- Shitty specs
- Barely any new games and mostly remasters (read "ports")

 

[Guerilla Munch]

Screencap this:

It will be their 5th console in a row with Gamecube graphics but rendered at 4K and there will be an orgasm-inducing 3D Mario launch title or Mario Kart 9 and tflop chuds will continue to punch the air

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Hardware Expectations

I expect PS4 level hardware which is fine with me
LCD 1080p Screen
Backwards Compatible


3 games for first year

New 3D Mario
Metriod Prime 4
New Monolithsoft Game

 

[Robb]

Mario Kart 9/ New Mario Kart
New Monolith Soft game
Metroid Prime 4

"Gamecube graphics"

lol. lmao, even. rofl perhaps. and if i must, a roflmao

 

[Icymanipulator]

Love it or hate it switch 2 launching with access to Genshin Impact would be huge. The game is insanely successful and popular. Not many other games could bring that kind of attention.

They could even throw Honkai Star Rail into the mix as well considering it’s getting a PlayStation version soon.

 

[salva]

• Re-release the same Mario Kart 8 "Double" Deluxe for $70
• Stick drift
• Sells like hotcakes

 

[TLZ]

Announcement soon.

Release March 2024.

Name Nintendo Switch Power.

Peach game on release.

 

[TLZ]

• Re-release the same Mario Kart 8 "Double" Deluxe for $70
• Stick drift
• Sells like hotcakes

Stick Drift Deluxe.

 

[RCU005]

My biggest prediction is that it will launch with Mario Kart 9 and a new 3D Mario soon after during launch window. (Or viceversa).

If there is not BC they will announce ports for Super Mario Bros Wonder and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

 

[AJUMP23]

No backwards compatibility.
more expensive
miyamotos last console.

 

[Closer]

• Will have the same 3rd party support as Switch
• NeoGAF will say it has no games regardless of how many games it gets
• When a 3rd party game releases on it, NeoGAF will say it is an inferior port

 

[Guerilla Munch]

"Gamecube graphics"

lol. lmao, even. rofl perhaps. and if i must, a roflmao

Lol thanks for proving my point.

Also I love that they still have Gamecube graphics 20+ years later. I'm playing TotK while my Shitbox Series X collects dust in its cuck corner

 

[64bitmodels]

Lol thanks for proving my point.

you forgot the first 3 letters of disproving. None of those games look anywhere as primitive as a gamecube title

 

[Deerock71]

Metroid Prime 4

Backwards compatability

3D*

OH! I JUST STOLE THE NAME FROM BOWSER'S BRAIN!

The Nintendo Switch3D



*Believe

 

[Robb]

Lol thanks for proving my point.

I think you need to go back and play the GC dude. Either that or get a new pair of glasses.

New pair of glasses it is then.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

Lmao I posted it will be "Gamecube in 4K" and you LITERALLY AND UNIRONICALLY posted a Gamecube game in 4K

lmaoing at your life

What I posted wasn’t ‘Metroid Prime in 4K’, it was the remaster for Switch. A 4K version would look worse since it’d only be improved resolution.

Here you go, now get those eyes checked for your own sake.

Spoiler

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

1. Mario at launch
2. Backwards Compatible
3. Remasters

All of these are a lock imho

 

[Robb]

2. Backwards Compatible

Mildly disappointing but still hype.
