I can see that but I'm cautiously optimistic about that.

I can see games like Tales of Arise, Street Fighter VI (or its Super/Arcade edition), and Soul Hacker 2 come to Switch 2. Heck, I can even see Final Fantasy VII Remake (with Integrade content) coming to Switch 2 if the Sony console exclusivity is over. 

I just don't know if I can bet money on that just yet. I know that Wii U actually had pretty decent support during the launch year, but it fizzled out quickly. Even with all the Switch's success, I'm not sure if third parties are gonna be as eager to support the Switch 2 from the jump.

EA FC (FIFA) w/feature parity, Call of Duty (latest version), Street Fighter VI, FF7 Remake would be a monstrous upgrade in 3rd party support over what the Switch got early in its product cycle. 

Funny enough, EA is actually adapting the Frostbite engine onto Switch for FC this year. Hopefully it’s a good sign.

And yea, that lineup of modern CoD, Street Fighter VI, and FFVIIR would be miles better than the Switch’s 3rd party launch titles. Even if the Switch successor doesn’t get anymore Street Fighter afterward or any other mainstream fighting game, having SFVI is better than USFII, which wasn’t bad, don’t get me wrong, but it felt like a test game rather than a decent effort from Capcom back then. FFVIIR would be like a full circle moment x2 for Nintendo as the Switch finally got FFVII years after the milestone game went from the N64 to the PS1. And of course, having CoD back on Nintendo platforms is newsworthy.

Again, I just remain cautiously optimistic for now as we’re not sure how third parties will prepare for the Switch successor.
