With Switch 2 launching sometime in 2025, predict 3 third party launch DAY titles for Switch 2.

Depending on the time of year, the launch could include certain sports games for example. Just depends on when you believe it is launching.

Give us your 3, and feel free to vote. 3 votes are allowed.

 

[yogaflame]

It will take allot of technical know how if they want GTA 6 to run on Switch 2. Maybe some downgrade like xbox series S.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Mine:
1.) Mass Effect Trilogy
2.) Persona 3R


3.) GOLDENEYE Collection (mutliplatform) Goldeneye 64, Goldeneye XBLA, and Activision Goldeneye Reloaded. All upgraded and at 60 fps.

 

[IAmRei]

I wish wild is on switch 2 as well : p
It will be system killer in japan, guaranteed big hit

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

All I want from third parties on Switch 2 is great Japanese Developers Support and Indie Support

 

[{insert code here}]

Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and Resident Evil.

 

[SamFo]

Sea of Thieves

 

[Jesb]

Resident Evil seems like easy money. I have a feeling 4 will be the first one. There will be a Mario in some form. And one of the Final Fantasy games.

 

[Calico345]

Grand Theft Auto VI

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Street Fighter 6
Elden Ring
Resident Evils (as in more than one)
COD
Destiny 2
Metaphor
Mortal Kombat
Asscreed

 

[Xellos]

Resident Evil 4 Remake - Only modern RE not available via cloud on Switch 1, and there's a PS4 version
Cyberpunk 2077 - Again, not available via cloud on Switch and there's a PS4 version (even if it isn't very good; faster CPU & storage + more RAM should help)
Baldur's Gate 3 - There's a Nintendo employee in the credits and RTX A400 (2.7 TF Ampere workstation card) can run it at 1080p even without DLSS, so it should be doable.

 

[Robb]

Elden Ring, some RE Remake(s), some Assassins Creed, FF7 Remake etc. etc.

There are so many semi-old titles they can bring over to this thing. It’ll be a flood of re-releases.

 

[DKPOWPOW]

3 most likely if 3rd parties don't have their heads up their asses?

Final Fantasy 7R
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Street Fighter 6

On Day one. Would offer some extra sales for older games that fill a likely empty genre on launch day.

But I definitely see games like DBZ Sparking Zero, Resident Evil 4, Madden, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk, Metal Gear Delta coming down the road. Perhaps to fill some gaps, I expect the first 6 months of Switch 2 to slay.

But what about what I actually want from 3rd Party's?

Red Steel 3
Skies of Arcadia 2
Shenmue IV
Ghost Squad 2
Metal Gear Revengeance Remastered

 

[Perrott]

I don't feel there's much meat to the bone of predicting what third-party, multiplatform games will receive ports to Nintendo's new console.

All publishers are going to jump onto the Switch 2 train (Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Microsoft, Take Two, Warner Bros., Embracer, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, Sega, Konami, Koei Tecmo, Kadokawa; hell, even independent studios such as Techland or CD Projekt would certainly be there day fucking one with Dying Light 2 and Cyberpunk, respectively).

If anything, the funny exercise would be to predict some notable titles that, for whatever reason, might end up skipping the platform. Like, will Kojima Productions launch Death Stranding Director's Cut on the Switch 2 or not? Will Rockstar remember that they once made a videogame called Red Dead Redemption 2? Is the Arkham Trilogy going to receive a proper port this time around? Shit like that.

 

[Durandle]

My guess is "Civilisation 7" to show off a new "Cursor" mode on the controllers making strategy games far better to play.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

My guess is "Civilisation 7" to show off a new "Cursor" mode on the controllers making strategy games far better to play.

I agree, if that is true. It would seem like a Mario Paint, Civ 7 and the new WoW would be a lock.

 

[Durandle]

I agree, if that is true. It would seem like a Mario Paint, Civ 7 and the new WoW would be a lock.

It is, of course, wild speculation on my part that the new "C" button switches controllers to a "Cursor" style control mode. But it does make sense... and Nintendo do like their gimmicks

 

[BlackTron]

Resident Evil seems like easy money. I have a feeling 4 will be the first one.

If they did indeed bring back IR pointing, then this is a great opportunity to get my money again...again.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I like that. Smart. I never considered it.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Well let’s be real for a moment. The Switch Sports was embarrassing and functioned no where near the quality of the simple Wii Sports. Hell, honestly Kinect Sports WAS a Better game than Switch Sports.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Furthermore, I will die on this hill.

If Nintendo & MS were smart they would do 4 things:

1.) Create a Goldeneye Collection with the N64, XBLA cancelled version, and the Activision remake… release it on every platform imaginable!

2.) Create a slightly better Kinect from the 360 version. The Xbox One version was too much. Put it on Switch 2, Xbox, PC and let the Nintendo, Xbox put their games on there. Along with 3rd parties.

Kinect Sports, Punchout, Nintendogs, Wii Fit, Pokémon Snap, Just Dance, Dance Central (style game),.

Families across the world would eat that up. It would be the family friendly gimmick!

3.) For the Love of whatever God you Pray To. Release Guitar Hero on everything!

4.) Nintendo and MS and (Sony) for that matter. Do whatever you need to get better MS/Sony representation in Smash, Mario Kart, etc.

You need to expose young children to your IP to grow it overtime, and you need a safe way to do so. Smash and Mario Kart are it.

Master Chief MUST be in the next Smash.

Sony Must have Astrobot, or Ratchet & Clank in the Next Smash.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Every one of those.

 

[BlackTron]

Well let’s be real for a moment. The Switch Sports was embarrassing and functioned no where near the quality of the simple Wii Sports. Hell, honestly Kinect Sports WAS a Better game than Switch Sports.

Exactly, which is why it would be a momentous event if they brought back real IR aiming.

I look at it this way, it enables them to dig deeper on remakes/remasters of Wii games that are completely dependent on it, like Galaxy 2. That's why I have hope the rumors are true, they would totally do it for that reason lol

 

[Camreezie]

I went with Tekken, Resident Evil and Metaphor. I think the big japanese publishers will show up big for it

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Listen to the Kinda Funny podcast with the predictions.

The kid on there got it right. 100%, imo.

The C Button is a “CAST” button to wirelessly switch to the TV mode, essentially turning the Switch 2 into Wii U.

This is exactly what they will do. They love the Wii U concept.

 

[Punished Miku]

Fallout 4
Persona 5R
Sea of Thieves

 

[DonF]

[IDKFA]

Looks like at the time of writing, I'm the only person who believes Halo MCC will be a Switch 2 launch title.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I’m surprised to see NHL on your list, EA seems to hate Nintendo aside from FIFA but I would love to have an NHL game on the go as average as they are now. Give me Mass Effect legendary collection while you’re at it EA.

Call of Duty is a tricky one, those games, especially now with the CODHQ are gargantuan in size, so it might be streaming only which would be pure garbage for an online shooter.

So. I could say that SNES, N64, GameCube, and Wii all got entries in EA NHL franchise.


BUT. My most outlandish prediction of 2025. EA is to Switch 2 what Ubisoft was to Switch 1.

I think EA and Nintendo realized they need each other and have patched up previous issues.


I think the Switch 2 video will specifically highlight EA Sports games in it. I also think EA, Nintendo, and a smaller studio are working together to specially make a at least one game for Switch 2.

Could be 1080 remake, Wave Race, Mario Hockey, Mario American Football, Mario NBA Jam, etc. Could be a new Ken Griffey Jr baseball with Ohtani.

I think the Super Mega Baseball team is the one working on it.

And you get ports of many EA games. Madden, EA FC, NHL, PvZ, Dragon age, etc.

That is my 2025 outlandish prediction. But I DO THINK IT IS CORRECT.


Oh and to show this new partnership. Mass Effect Trilogy is a Day 1 launch title.

 

[kevboard]

Fortnite, Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals, Overwatch 2... those are the obvious ones. 3 of them are already on Switch 1.

although, with how slow Respawn is with Apex, maybe it won't be on launch.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

3490283 indie asset flip titles converted with a button press to the new SKU on the eShop. Enjoy Sex with Hitler

 

[Trilobit]

RDR2 would be pretty cool, but I think it will be just the normal version without any bells and whistles

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

What?

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

What?

Just speculating how long it'll take until nobody is able to find anything on the eShop again

 

[clarky]

3.) GOLDENEYE Collection (mutliplatform) Goldeneye 64, Goldeneye XBLA, and Activision Goldeneye Reloaded. All upgraded and at 60 fps.

As much as i loved Goldeneye, this isnt a collection more like the same game in various forms. Who would want that?

Plus it plays like shit these days.

 

[March Climber]

Nintendo probably made Square Enix and (maybe) Capcom hold an announcement for their reveal direct.

As much as i loved Goldeneye, this isnt a collection more like the same game in various forms. Who would want that?

Agreed. I would rather have a full 007 collection, but that would require Lionsgate, Amazon, Nintendo, and Xbox to all agree on something.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Monster Hunter Wilds… no way. That barely runs on a PS5.

 

[AJUMP23]

Ubisoft always brings a game to a Nintendo launch.

There will probably be Starwars things
I could also see Monster Hunter showing up.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I disagree. The Xbox version plays fine. Remember, Xbox got the good version without online play. Just add the online play in. The Wii/PS360 version was more like COD. But there is an audience for it.

The XBLA version has never been released to the public. Add these 3 in a bundle and people will buy it. No question. I understand your point about being 3 games essentially the same. I understand that. Still though.

Will it sell as much as COD? No. Could it sell over 10 million units on all platforms combined? Easily.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I'd be happy if they announce Shin Megami Tensei VI, even if it doesn't come out until 2030.

No way it would sell anything like that, you'd be lucky to get a million.

Like most on this forum I loved Goldeneye back in the day, but things have moved on significantly since then.

I mean a different build and not the backwards compatibility game.
