December 4-Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
February 12-Mario Tennis Fever
Spring 2026-Yoshi and the Mysterious Book
Spring 2026-Super Mario Bros. Wonder+Meetup in Bellabel Park

Now let’s get rid of cross-gen titles and updated ports

Switch 1
1-2 Switch
ARMS
Splatoon 2
Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Fire Emblem Warriors
Super Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Switch 2
Mario Kart World
Donkey Kong Bananza
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
Kirby Air Riders
Mario Tennis Fever
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book

Mario Odyssey and BotW alone are enough to carry Switch over Switch 2 IMO. That's an insane duo to drop in a single year. Switch 2 has had a very solid start, though!

Sure, those are major releases, my issue is people counting BotW as a major Switch title despite being cross-gen while simultaneously discounting Pokemon Legends or Metroid Prime because they are cross-gen.
