Will the Switch 2 finally be powerful enough and popular enough to get Nintendo all the top games?

The big thing people seems to miss in the Switch 2 versus PC Handheld comparison is that games aren't built specifically for the latter. They are PC games first and foremost. Switch 2 games will be built specifically for the platform. They will have a level optimization not possible on games running on a Steam Deck or Rog Ally X. It's why I feel having more than one configuration for a console (Xbox Series X and Series S) undermines the key strength of the platform. A fixed box in which every user has identical specs which allows developers to code for it's exact hardware. It's why there are games that work on the Switch that you'd think have no business running on the system.

No doubt that will be true for 1st party games.  But for third party games?  I don't see third party building games specifically for the S2.  Games will be built for Xbox, ps5 and PC.  

I can't fathom Capcom making Wilds, SF7 and RE9 based on S2 specifications.  

That's exactly why there were no 3rd party exclusives or timed exclusives on the Switch ... 

Oh wait. There is. A good amount in fact. MH Rise, Square Enix HD 2D games in general, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, SMT V, etc ... We're all made with the Switch platform as the starting point to which other eventual versions were based on. 

Mentioning that, you best bet Capcom 2nd MH team is working on the next timed exclusive MH game for the Switch successor most likely. And whatnot other deals Nintendo might have done with other publishers in the meantime.
