It's absolutely insane how packed this year for the Switch already is. It was awesome the sheer amount of hard hitters/notable games Nintendo and other publishers/developers put out for the Switch it's in first year. It's even cooler when you compare that list to the current 2022 game list. Some of them are direct sequels, some can be considered a counterpart. This list also doesn't include games like Pokemon Legends Arceus and Mario Strikers Battle League, which one has already been proven to be a heavy hitter. Are you excited for the games this year? Going to dip your toes into a franchise you haven't played before? All in all, I think this year is just a great one for games in general on every platform.
