While I am enjoying my Switch 2 thanks to games like RE Requiem and FF7 Remake, the current first party outlook is pretty weak, so I don't blame those who are first party focused for feeling antsy.

When you've just asked people to drop $450 for a shiny new console, it's not unreasonable to expect some indication of what big Nintendo games and coming and when.

Also, commercially speaking, the likes of Tomodachi Life or the Mario Wonder port aren't system sellers, so if Nintendo wants to keep the Switch 2's sales pace they're going to have to try harder to get people excited.

That's incorrect as Tomodachi is a system seller and quite a significant one it triggered sales boosts for 3DS in both Japan and Europe when it released, first party isn't weak right now it's just focused on a different type of consumer the comfort gaming types who like games like AC. Pokopia has matched RE9 in quality for example it may not be the type of game some people here are into but it's clearly a very strong release and next moth Tomodachi launches these are even more significant than some of the games people would rather see.

He's right about hype addiction as the releases in S2's nine months are immense to the point people are being overwhelmed and having backlogs, a number of the games released aren't the vehicles for extreme hype like Octopath 0 or Pokopia but these are easily some of the best games released in general and provide a huge amount of hours of fun.

Tomodachi Life is a Switch 1 game, so it won't be a Switch 2 system seller. The audience for such games already has a Switch.
