This thread is currently a WIP. If you notice any games are missing, please comment below and I will make sure to add them. I will label which games are (i) GKC, (ii) Nintendo exclusive, (iii) third-party, (iv) NS2 Edition Upgrades, and (v) a major presentation (e.g. Nintendo Direct); but this will be done at a later time.

This thread is being created for my own organizational sanity. (And yes, it will look a *lot* prettier later today. By 10pm CST.)

Fortunes Weave, looks like a sequel
/prequel of 3 Houses which is my most played Switch game (and one of my most played games of all time)

Aside of that, Duskbloods. I'm approaching 200h of Nightreign and is my most played game this year, so I'm really excited for it. I hope the game doesn't flop, since it's coop it needs a good player base

atm I just want a patch for Bayonetta 3 and Astral Chain

Added. Thank you:)

That list is... pretty underwhelming. The best games are all just Switch 1 games. Nothing original on that list jumps out to me.

This is a list of like thirty pretty solid releases. You really can’t find anything original on here? Give Mario Tennis or Rhythm Heaven a shot. Or Fire Emblem if you’re into strategy gameplay. Lots of variety here.

If you’re looking for a Smash Bros/Animal Crossing-tier release? You need to wait until the Spring Direct. Nintendo often holds release dates very close to launch (e.g. Metroid Dread, Mario Wonder, Smash Ultimate, Mario Odyssey, Pokémon SwSh/ScVi weren’t revealed until calendar year of release).

For early April, this is a solid list 

I think Switch 2026 will be better than Switch 1 2018 (that one was pretty weak) 

FF7 Rebirth, Resident Evil 9, Indiana Jones, maybe even Pragmata lots for me to play. Maybe even that 007 game. 

Feels like the system will "really" launch in 2026 with third party games finally starting to ramp up.

I think Nintendo will bring it software wise in 2026, a new Mario and something like a new Smash or Animal Crossing.

Yeah I'd say this already looks a lot better than Switch 1's 2018; I think I bought like 3 Switch games in that whole year, there just wasn't much on offer.

By contrast, there's a ton of stuff I'm planning to get for Switch 2 in 2026.
