According to Paul Gale, the Nintendo Switch 2 will have “big launch window releases” from third-party studios. These include “significant” AAA games.

“A few major third party developers whom at E3 2017 weren’t anticipating Nintendo Switch taking off the way it did and didn’t have a Triple A title at launch/the show itself, are working on big launch window releases for Nintendo’s next system,”

Gale posted on Twitter.

“[Nintendo Switch 2] will have some early, significant ports, parallel releases, and exclusives.”

Im Ready


Cyberpunk? Elden ring?, Final fantasy VII remake?

 

[Investor9872]

Nintendo is not going to launch a system without a few first party IPs. There should be at least a 3D Mario game, and a Zelda-like action rpg game, a party game, and a racing game all around the launch window!

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Guaranteed we see Mario Odyssey 2.

 

[RCU005]

I'm betting on Mario Kart launch. What other game is bigger than Zelda? Not even a 3D Mario can reach Zelda and Mario Kart numbers, and it's way overdue.

 

[Ozriel]

we know it’s getting a full fat Call of Duty port, based on the deal MS signed with Nintendo. Probably at launch.

Hopefully it also launches with a FIFA game that matches the current gen console versions feature for feature.

Aside that, Street Fighter 6 is a likely lock.

 

[March Climber]

It was a typo, they meant AAA batteries.

Prepare your wallets.

[Hrk69]

Please be backwards compatible

I just got my Switch account back (it got hacked/stolen) but I'm waiting to see if the Switch 2 will run the old games

 

[asdasdasdbb]

I'm betting on Mario Kart launch.

Mario Kart 8 Ultimate Edition

Sony doing 3rd party exclusives: “It’s disgusting, the developer limited sales potential”

Nintendo doing 3rd party exclusives:”Cmooooon Letzzzs goooo”.

As for the claim, it was expected, Switch 1 already received lots of AAA 3rd party games, annual FIFA/EA sports, NBA, etc.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

They missed having stuff ready for Wii, DS, Switch, so it's not that obvious.

 

[DryvBy]

I expect a year or two of Switch 1 games being ported over with "HD" treatment.

 

[_Ex_]

Metroid Prime 4 and a new 3D Mario.

 

[Flabagast]

Most likely Cyberpunk

 

[drganon]

Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights.

 

[Jesb]

RE4R Let’s go Capcom.

I'm sorry, but... THIS Paul Gale?

RUMOR: Is Retro Studios’ Wii U game “Star Fox – Metroid: Fusion Saga”? – Paul Gale Network

EDIT: Ye olde Neogaf thread

Paul Gale Network Bullshit: "Star Fox Metroid: Fusion Saga" isn't real (no shit!)

Update: Look at this shit! Confirmed status update on Retro Studios making “Star Fox – Metroid: Fusion Saga” for Wii U. Rumors put to rest. The good news is that going into E3, I have an answer: No. This game is not what Retro Studios is currently working on and it will not...

An XCX port is all I needs.

 

[Deft Beck]

An XCX port is all I needs.

Don't worry, Switch 2 will be Nintendo's brat era.

 

[RoboFu]

I predict a new 3d Mario and Metroid prime 4 port.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Don't worry, Switch 2 will be Nintendo's brat era.

I love bratwurst. Preferably on a potato roll with spicy brown mustard.

 

[AJUMP23]

Mario is AAAA.

 

[Astral Dog]

Well,duh of course its going to have big support at launch

The question is if Switch 2 can keep it for six years+, it will depend on the sales but also hardware and target audience

 

[baphomet]

can't wait to see a new level of stripped down ports

 

[Closer]

It happens with every new Nintendo system. The AAA games are rereleases of older games with some aditional DLC baked in then developers be mad it didn't sell well and no more AAA games for Nintendo.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Those games will probly also release on the Switch 1. So don't get too excited yet.

 

[Zannegan]

can't wait to see a new level of stripped down ports

You jest, but having those stripped down ports operate at a new and significantly higher baseline would be a boon for all involved.

 

[EverydayBeast]

In general most new consoles get "good enough" launch games, I think many people expect AAA out the gate, at the same rate if you're stepping into a new console gen arena you jump on important franchise and start a new console gen with integrity.

 

[feynoob]

The only thing that I got from this is that I can finally play skyrim while pooping.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

that's would be the final nail in the coffin if true

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I don’t care about third party AAA releases

Needs a big Nintendo showpiece exclusive

 

[Deerock71]

I am ready to purchase these sequels as fast as possible. At least 3 at launch.

 

[ArtHands]

Will be stupid of Sony if they doesn’t port Astro Bot or Sackboy

 

[Fake]

Just a patch for Mario Kart and will sell like no other console.

 

[ADiTAR]

I hope not. The WiiU launched with a lot of "AAA" 3rd party titles and did badly. Nintendo needs to space out these games.

 

[Rambone]

Exclusives or not, Nintendo doesn't have to convince me to purchase a Switch 2, I'll be there day 1.

 

[MAtgS]

So did the Wii U. Look how well that turned out.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Switch 2 is going to make them so much fucking money.

 

[Buggy Loop]

I expect a mountain of ports from 3rd parties, like ridiculous amount.

It’ll be tougher for indies in launch window with all the games compared to switch, games like Fast RMX were successful for being early and without many alternatives… that’s unlikely on switch 2

 

[Robb]

Nintendo Switch 2 Will Get AAA Games At Launch

 

[FeralEcho]

Oh man and here I was thinking it would launch with no big games.

 

[Danjin44]

All I want is game from....

 

[digital_ghost]

I love bratwurst. Preferably on a potato roll with spicy brown mustard.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'm so hyped for this thing!

 

[BlackTron]

It happens with every new Nintendo system. The AAA games are rereleases of older games with some aditional DLC baked in then developers be mad it didn't sell well and no more AAA games for Nintendo.

This is true but only accounts for the "early, significant ports" portion of the rumor. Yeah we always expect ports but what about the parallel releases and exclusives? If the rumor is true those would actually sell a lot.

 

[cormack12]

Another Mario Game
Another Zelda Game
Another MK Game

 

[amigastar]

Metroid Prime 4 and a new 3D Mario.

Man, i hope. A new 3D Mario would be awesome to have as a launch title.

 

[VolticArchangel]

BLOPS 6 must be one of them.

Apart from that, I'm guessing Monster Hunter Wilds and Street Fighter 6 from Capcom.
