2022 really is a repeat of Switch 2017

Well Bayo 3 can def reach 92 or 93 on Metacritic, BOTW2 can def reach its 97 or even 98 (that has been "stolen" by Jim Sterling for BOTW), so it's already 2 great games.

Same goes with Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

All those are all definite potentials, but it remains to be seen how they turn out and if they aren't pushed back to 2023.

For me personally, 2017 had three top tier games for Switch; BOTW, Mario Odyssey, and Doom 2016, with Xenoblade 2 and Splatoon 2 as honourable mentions.

2022 will most likely have more honourable mentions. It's that top tier that will be the battleground. Three diamonds in one year is a hard act to top.

Don't forget we're only in February, we still don't know what they have in their sleeves
