Games Inbox: What will be the Nintendo Switch 2 launch games?
Share:
The Friday letters page is more confused than ever about Xbox’s multiformat policy, as one reader fears for the future of Assassin’s Creed and Ubisoft. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk. Educated guess. The Nintendo Switch 2 reveal has surely got to be just days away at this point, but we still know nothing about any of the games, not even a blatantly fake rumour. I do think it’s fairly easy to guess though, or at least it would be if Nintendo were a normal company.
As GC has pointed out before, Mario Kart 9 is well overdue at this point and a perfect launch title. At the same time, we know Metroid Prime 4 for Switch 1 is due out this year and that seems a no-brainer for a cross-gen release. So, a super popular sequel that’s very casual friendly and a long-awaited one that the hardcore crowd will eat up… sound like the perfect line-up to me. Add in a Zelda remaster and a smaller title or two and you’ve got perfect launch conditions, I would say.
Of course, you can’t predict Nintendo, so it’ll probably end up being 1-2-3-Switch and a Devil World sequel, but in terms of sensible guesses I think that’s the best you can make. Onibee. Direct contradictions. Glad to hear that Microsoft has another new game to announce at their next Direct. They’ve had a really good stream of games lately, even if none of them have been big hitters. Looking at the line-up for this one though and their multiformat policy seems even more strange.
Doom: The Dark Ages is multiformat, we knew that already, but for some reason South Of Midnight isn’t. Avowed isn’t either, which is weird because I would say those two games were probably not going to be big sellers. Shouldn’t Microsoft be making them multiformat too, to have any chance of making their money back?.
