Splatoon Raiders will boost hardware significantly in Japan, but probably not in the West. Wind/Waves is also a 2027 title, so it could be up to 18 months off.

DK Bananza is a great game, one of my favourites of 2025, but it doesn't really seem to have been a killer app sales wise, while Legends Z-A and Tomodachi are Switch 1 titles so limited in their ability to shift Switch 2 consoles.

As for big games, it doesn't need to be 3D Mario; a new Smash Bros or Animal Crossing would also be a big system seller if done right.

What is Pokopia if not a game that has driven the Animal Crossing crowd to NS2? Same can be said about the NS2 edition of New Horizons and even Tomodachi to an extent. And if Pokémon WiWa is too far off, then why bring up 3D Mario which wouldn’t release sooner than 18 months from now? What games are you looking for? Mario’s coming, Pokopia’s covered Animal Crossing, MarioKart has been here for a while, DK Bananza is showing decent legs,… I can’t see how you aren’t just looking at the few gaps (e.g. Smash Bros) and acting like Switch 2 has little to offer.
