The main problem with that though is it will hurt the Switch 2 possibly, why buy a Switch 2 if you're just getting the same games on the Switch? Playstation/XBox owners are more conditioned to just buy new hardware on the basis of better graphics, but that doesn't work as easily for Nintendo it doesn't seem like. So I think in terms of things like the next 3D Mario and Mario Kart that are probably already well into development, they sorta have to be Switch 2 only most likely. Otherwise what's the sales pitch for a Switch successor? I can see like Mario 3D Next, Mario Kart Next, Smash Bros. Next, Animal Crossing Next, Splatoon Next being Switch 2 only Maybe 1 more Pokemon mainline game, Kirby, Donkey Kong Country platformer, Mario Party, Metroid Prime 4 maybe being cross-gen, as in they have different and better graphical elements on the Switch 2, not just a resolution boost. F-Zero GX Remaster, Paper Mario TTYD, Remaster, Peach platformer, Luigi's Mansion 2 Remaster, Zelda: Wind Waker Remaster, Twilight Princess remaster just being regular Switch 1 releases that maybe have a 4K patch introduced when Switch 2 arrive. So basically kinda three software categories if you want to put it that way. |
Not sure. everything for the most part can be ported these days. Even sony putting their exclusives on PC. It will interesting so what approach they take but for big nintendo games to skip switch in 2024 would be crazy with a massive user base, and just look at what zelda sold in 3 days at 70$ i just can't see Nintendo saying well lets just focus on switch 2.
