I think people are forgetting that Metroid Prime 4 & Pokemon Legends ZA are cross-gen titles when talking about there not being a whole lot of 1st party games this year. Those two titles are absolutely major releases for Switch 2.
June 5-Mario Kart World, Welcome Tour
July 17-Donkey Kong Bananza
July 24-Mario Party Jamboree TV
Aug 28-Kirby Star Crossed World
Summer-Drag X Drive
2025-Kirby Air Riders
2025-Metroid Prime 4
Late 2025-Pokemon Legends ZA
Winter-Hyrule Warriors (could be early 2026)
That’s definitely a strong lineup of 1st party titles for the first ~6 months. Plus there is always the possibility of more games being announced at the next Direct.
