what about it "plays like shit" exactly?
which version ?

The HD remaster on the xbox doesn't feel right and the n64 version runs like dogshit. I didnt play the others.

The game is a classic dont get me wrong but there is a million better fps experiences out there to play today. The poster was claiming it would sell 10 million copies, no way the kids of today would give it more than 5 minutes.

New third party games will come later rather in 2025 rather than on launch (unless they just so happen to be launching on that particular day).

The new games at launch will all be first party (unless they are some surprising third party exclusives, but I don't expect too many of them).

Switch is a first party machine for me anyways, I don’t care about third party ports.

Show me the new 3D Mario

pretty sure the Xbox version can be set to play very similar to the N64 version.
the biggest difference in the default settings for the Xbox version is the manual aim being always centered (which you can change afaik)

How would COD be able to come to Switch 2 when there are constantly huge updates. Maybe they could do a monthly update instead? Still, storage space will be an issue for sure.

Call of Duty because it was mentioned in the lawsuit. SF6 and EA FC because companies want to open up their live service games to this new audience.

I don't think you'll see a lot of old shit at launch, but Capccom also has those ARM ports of their games sitting there for iPhone...

posts news as their odd job
I honestly don't see any of these as launch titles per say...

Fortnite already exists on the Switch...that would be there automatically via BC on day one theoretically...I guess it depends on whether you consider that a launch title...

It's possible that Microsoft releases Black Ops 6 on launch...but I could equally see them just bypass that to just wait for whatever COD is coming out in the fall...

I would expect at least 2 first party launch titles. Didn't Switch 1 release with Mario Odyssey and BOTW?
 
The team behind that game was shut down, so I'm not so sure.

Switch had 1 2 Switch and BOTW at launch (Odyssey came in October 2017).

I would imagine Switch 2 gets a 3D Mario and a new casual IP.
Yeah, i am conflicted here.

Assumption 1.) Switch 2 launches w/ 3d Mario and a social title, for example: Switch sports Resort or Nintendoland
—or—
WOULD Nintendo want to keep 3d Mario for November release so it launches close to Mario Movie 2?

Assumption 2.) Switch 2 Launches w/ Mario Kart and another title. Like Metroid Prime 4.
Would Nintendo launch Mario Kart when the user base is new and non existent? MK is a Multiplayer focus game.

COULD Nintendo launch with Metroid Prime 4 and something else? Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Deluxe? (As rumored a while back?)

My only thought. If Switch 2 launches between Spring and Summer 2025…Is Nintendo knows Switch 2 will be popular and the “CORE” will buy Switch 2 at launch. Mass audience will start buying around holidays 2025.
Selling to the CORE first allows Nintendo to get the hardcore satisfied first, and thus the 1st party releases will reflect that.
 
Looks like Master Chief Collection, Flight Simulator, FF7 Remake and Rebirth are all coming to Switch 2.
FFVIIR and more Xbox titles as well.

I will stand firm on this. Every 3rd party character in Smash Bros show’s up on Switch 2 or Switch 1 w/ a game.

If MCC does come, I also think this cements Master Chief is in the next Smash Bros.

They don't need the movie to launch the game, if anything movies and tv shows seem to give a significant boost to games that are already out. We've seen this with the Witcher and Fallout shows.

That may be true. I don’t have the numbers to know if it is better to release the title within a window near a movie release or it gives boosts to games regardless of when it releases.

It was just a hypothetical, i asked myself and everyone here in this thread.

I think option 1. The next movie isn't until April 2026 anyway.

3D Mario amd new IP at launch as Switch 2 exclusives, then Switch 2 exclusive Mario Kart for the holidays.

Then there will be a bunch of cross gen games like Prime 4 Beyond, Pokémon Legands ZA, Fire Emblem 4 remake and Kid Icarus Uprising remaster.
FFVIIR and more Xbox titles as well.

I do think the theory could come true, but only as a coincidence. As in, the decision on which characters to put in Smash Ultimate wasn't influenced by third party support for Switch 2.

Yeah, i often wonder if the it is a 3d Mario, then the other game is a casual party game. I know you think new IP, which would be great. But, i wonder if it is Switch Sports 2.

ME Trilogy would be nice, it also would require EA not having the most massive of chips on their shoulder when it comes to Nintendo (nothing was stopping them from putting the past-gen trilogy on NS1).

Baulder's Gate 3, Elden Ring, & CoD BO6 are my big guesses. Activision signed a 10-year deal with Nintendo for CoD & both BG3 & ER sound like the exact kind of games to be the equivalent to Skyrim in the original Switch's reveal.

I have a feeling that EA is one of Nintendos big partners this gen. Maybe like Ubisoft was for Switch.
